SOWING SWEET CLOVER.

that have reached this office we are
sure that many Of our readers will
experiment with sweet clover this
year. While this plant is in many
places a roadside weed it possesses
merits that entitle il; TO q fair trial as
a forage plant and soil builder. The
fact that It grows Volunt arily on road;
sides and in neglected corners, has
lead some to believe that it is sin-s

time, but it will probably become
more easy with the passing OF the
years. The most trying time for pas
ture on these farms is in the autumn,
a season when the weather is much
prone to be dry. In order to have a
supply at that season it will frequently
be necessary to grow it earlier in the
year and to save it for that season.
This means, of course, that the farmer
must have enough of his land fenced
to enable him to accomplish such an
end. 5 @ q 55:51s.s: "a 5$l;...
OF all the grasses now grown, bronze
grass will probably give more pasture
in dry autumn when it has been
pastured down in the early part of
the season than any other, but in
some localities even bronze grass will
now, grow very much in the autumn
under dry conditions. Where it grows
80 thickly that but few seed heads
shoot, it will furnish much grazing
in the autumn if not grazed earlier in
the season, on the same principle that
blue grass does in blue grass areas,
but the matured part Of the pasture
would probably be more in evidence
than the case of blue grass.
I Blue grass will also do more for
Dakota pastures than has been ex.
pected Of it in the past. BY growing
the blue and the bronze together, and
pasturing but little or not at all early
in the season, there would be a mass
Of pasture that would furnish large
amount of food. g2i AZ, az &. .sti,,yi f..

be asking himself, if not his neighbors,
is it too late to put IN another twenty

Millet and Todd corn can be put

Seed is high this year, especially
fax and corn. Last syear hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars were lostsin seed

Every year the average yield Of fax
is cut down stlamefully BY the too

Last year Canada lost almost millions
Of dollars in frosted or snowed-in lax.
Much late wheat was also frosted.
Parts Of our territory are as cold
as Canada, and some parts Of 1t are
colder than some parts Of Canada.
Canadian farm papers are urging their
readers to go slow in throwing away
good seed when the chances are
against its ever maturing. This is
good adViceS and many Of Cur own
farmers had better heed it. a.
Rather than to risk losing both

st. Augustine Was Once an In
dian Village.
First Colony Established by French
Huguenots in 1864 Was Razed by
the Spaniards and Its lnhab-
itants Killed.

st. Augustine, Fla.-Four centuries
ago an Indian town known as Seloy
stood on the site of what is now st.
Augustine. On Easter Sunday, 1872,
Ponce de Leon, Spanish explorer,
landed there in search OF the "Foun-
tain of Youth" After he and his men
had floundered through the sandy
swamps OF the vicinity and tramped
among the scrub palmetto, bathed IN
every stream, pool and mudhole they
came across, without success, they re-
embarked and the Indian village re-
NAMED unmolested by white men for
more than fifty years.
A colony of French Huguenots land
ed at the same point in 1864, but
soon moved on 10 the st. Johns river.
The news of their arrival reached
Phillip II. of Spain, and upon realiz-
ing the full import of the message
that a colony of Protestants was set
Ting in his new world domain-he dis
patched Pedro Menendez to extermi-
nate them.
This second group of invading
Spaniards landed at the same Indian
village on August 25, 1865, and be-
cause that was ST. Augustine's day up
on the church calendar they gave the
place its present name. st. Augustine
is consequently the oldest permanent
settlement of Europeans within the
territory of the United States. The
Huguenot settlement was not perma-
nent for the reason that Menendez and
his men destroyed their fort and mas
sacred the inhabitants.
The first fort was built in octagonal
form and was constructed of the
trunks of pine trees. 1t was named

one detail in Stradanus' drawing deserves spe-
cial notice, i. e, the turned-up heads of the two
herons at which hawks are about to STOP 1t
shows that the artist fully believed the legend
sanctioned even by such late writer's as Walter
Scott, that the heron when hard pressed and
stopped at by the hawk will point his beak up

upon its point, thereby inficting serious injury

experts this pretty story has no foundation in

cratic sport depicting this very occurrence

Pine). An engraving of the fort shows
1t was in this shape when Sir Fran
els Drake attacked St. Augustine in
1886. The fort was again attacked
in 1865 by John Davis, freebooter and
buccaneer. The people fed to the
woods while Davis pilaged the town.
Later the fort was rebuilt and named
Fort Marion, now the property of the
federal government and maintained
chiefly as an interesting antique.
Thousands of persons visit it annually.
In It's early life st. Augustine was
the most cosmopolitan city in the
land and all because of a mixed col
ony of Minorcans, Italians, Greeks and
natives of southern European coun-
tries brought to the state in 1863 as
laborers for an indigo plantation
owned by English capitalists. They
settled in New Smyrna but soon re-
belled against their English employ
ers. That probably was the first or
ganized labor strike in North Amer
lea.
Moving to st. Augustine, where
they were allotted land and given pro-
lection, the indigo plantation workers
intermarried with the Spanish and
English residents and their descend
ants form a large proportion of the
population of the present city.
In 1921 the United States paid
Spain S5,0OOO0O for the territory OF
Florida and General Andrew jackson
became It's first governor.
Indian, pirate, Spaniard, British in
vader-each in turn has scourged the
town, but after the passing of each it
has arisen better than before, changed
but each time improved in character
From the Indian village of Seloy,
through four centuries of battle and
change to the quaint old town with
it's foreign airs, st. Augustine has be-
come fashionable winter resort.
