Sweet Clover As A Fertilizer.

A Kentucky correspondent writes:
"As compared with red clover,
how is sweet clover as a soil fertil-
izer? | have about four acres of
very poor land that thought of
sowing to oats and sweet clover,
the oats to be hogged down in the
dough stage. Do you think this
plan feasible?
AS a soil renovator sweet clover
is fully equal if not superior to any
of the other legumes; especially is
this true when the tops as well as
the stubble and roots are plowed
under as green manure. In an H.
linOis investigation it was found
hat an acre of thrifty sweet clover
contained in the tops, stubble and
roots 228 pounds of nitrogen, which
is more than double the amount
found by the Delaware station in an
acre of alfalfa or red clover. On
account of its rank growth, sweet
clover adds great amount of hu-
mus the Illinois station finding that
a good acre of sweet clover yielded
ga tons of dry matter, which would
furnish as much humus forming
material as would twenty-five tons
of farm manure. If the entire crop
is plowed under sweet clover GER
tainly ranks very high as a soil fer
tilizer. The chief question is not
whether sweet clover is good when
used in this way for restoring soil
fertility but whether it can be
grown on the given piece of soil.
Possibly the soil may need lime,
ground rock phosphate or inocula-
ton with sweet clover root bacter-
ia. Other conditions favorable
sweet clover should succeed when
sown with oats cut for hay at the
rate of ten to twelve pounds OF
hulled seed to the acre. - Wallace'S
Farmer.

Philadelphia.-For the second sue.

champions of the world.
With a victory so decisive that II
bordered on the ridiculous the great
Athletic machine triumphed over Nc
Graw's Giants in the sixth battle OF
the crucial series, battle that ended
after a pitiful effort by THE New

each Athletic player will receive
$3,654.59. The losers will receive the
remainder, $51,164,24, or $2,436.39 for
each New York player.
Travelling in a batting streak which
totaled Is hits for IS bases and which
drove three of McGraw's fingers to
stage of distraction, the Athletics
clinched the battle and the world prize
by the lopsided score of 13 to z
They made the giant defeat the
more humiliating by it's decislveness'
honeycombed the Giant defense with
a succession of terrific hits. outplayed
as well as outbatted them, and,
through it all, Bender doomed up the
particular star of the closing combat
of the prolonged series by holding
the National leaguers to a skinny

The curtain goes down with four
victories for the Quakers and two for
the Giants, and with the conclusive
evidence that the speed of McGraw's
machine was not equal to the ter
rife hitting of Mack's star aggrega-

Leon Ames, George Wiltse and the

Peking.-Their navy gone, armies

crushed in score of large cities, the
imperialist forces at the instigation of
Yuan Shi Kai in the YangtSe Kiang
are to sue for truce with the revolu-
tionists.
This announcement is made official
ly here and is regarded as a victory
for the revolutionists. To bring about
peace the throne must offer terms on
basis of constitutional government,
and it is authoritatively declared that
the throne is ready to take this step.
1t is proposed to send government
emissaries at once to the Yangtse
Kiang regions, the hotbed of the revo-
luton. The government is said to
have made such advances already to
certain of the rebel chiefs to learn
their temper and to have received the
reply that no capitulation will be
agreed to unless it provides for a
complete reorganization of the govern
ment, including the immediate conven-
ton of the representative parliament
and the appointment of Yum Shi Kai
as premier.

resolution to memorabilia the throne

The rebels have taken no cogntz-
ance of the new attitude of the gov
eminent, however Mganking, the
capital of the province of Nganwhei,
100 miles southwest of Marking, has
been taken and other minor successes
are reported from several sections.
Great excitement was caused here
when a band of rebel sympathiZerS
set upon Sheng Hsuan Huai, the re-
moved minister, and were prevented
from assassinating him only by the
prompt interference of the Imperial
police. He asked to be taken to the
American legation, whence he was es-
corted to Tientsin by squad OF SOL
diers.
Yuan Shi Kai has been placed In
complete control OF the imperial
army and navy and will proceed to
Sinyangchow at once to take COM
mand. He relieves Gen. Tin Tchang,
minister of war, who has been ordered
to return to Picking.
Gen. Ii Yuen Heng, leader OF the
rebel forces, has informed the for

claimed president of the republic

Is it not pertinent to ask why the law

the sidewalk because some one might

his carelessness, while no punishment
is fixed to deter him from throwing

The burglar will always be about
seeking for chance to rob, and the
police problem is how to reduce the
ranks of these thieves to a minimum
and make their work so dangerous
that few will dare to undertake 1t.
Carelessness and forgetfulness on the
part of the housekeeper make the
work of these gentry far easier than
1t would otherwise be. The police
generally do the best they can, but
they could do far better were not the
