weeds, some of which may become
decided menace to his locality.
Some of the weed seeds appearing
in red clover seed can be removed by
the farmer by the use of wire-cloth
sieve containing 20 meshes to the
linear inch. Most of the clover seeds
Of medium size are held back by such
a sieve and practically all the smaller
weed seeds pass through. The true
clover dodder, which is very noxious
pest in clover fields, Is quite effective
ly removed in this way. Most of the
seeds Of the field dodder are also re-
moved. Seed or buckhorn, wild car
rot, wild chicory, thistles, and others
of similar size are mostly held back
by the sieve. The small-grained clover
seed imported from Europe largely
passes through such a sieve. An easy
method of separating buckhorn seed
from clover has been devised. This
method consists Of mixing with the
seed containing the buckhorn thor
oughly wetted sawdust. The buck
horn seed becomes sticky on being wet
and readily attaches itself to the saw
dust. The entire mass is then imme-
diately screened, when the larger pF-
ticles of sawdust, with the buckhoAA
attached, are readily separated from
the clover seed. This work should be
done Immediately before sowing the
clover seed, which, with the small
particles of saWdust that pass the
screen, need to be dried only suf1-
GENTLY to enable the seeding to take
place readily. This is an effective
means Of removing practically all
buckhorn seeds and is easily accom-
plished by the farmer who handles a
comparatively small quantity of seed
which is not necessarily bulked i'm
mediately afr the somewhat damp
seed has been screened out.

MO SPOOKS FOR MUGGINS
Was Afraid of Nothing He Could IN

Too Much for Him.

Muggins goes to camp with his folks

In his eager rush for chipmunk he
was over the bank before he knew 1t
and landed kerf1op on his back with

the surface. Disgust spoke from every
feature of his expressive countenance
as he hastily scrambled ashore.
Once as Muggins' master stood in

a mischievous thought came to him
and he prepared to surprise the limo

and doubled over SO as to look alto

backward, rending the air with series

away on a race for his life, without
even a backward glance at the awful

Peas and Tomatoes.

Where there is a good market for
both peas and tomatoes these crops
may be grown together to good ad-
vantage. The peas ohould be planted
as soon as the ground can be prepared
and the tomatoes are set after danger
of hard frost, which, in most sections
of the north, will not be before the
fifteenth or twentieth of May. If the
rows of peas are four feet apart, two
or three pea plants must be removed
at the required distances in the rows
to make place fer each tomato plant,
!. e., if the tomato plants are to stand
four feet apart each way the pea
plants will be removed at intervals of
four feet in the row. This plan has
been used with entire success in Penn.

Important effect upon the land in
maintaining the supply of nitrogen in
the SOIL BY means of the nitrogen
fixing organism on its roots the red
clover plant is able to gather large
quantities of nitrogen from the air
and leave it in the soil in a form which
can readily be utilized for growing
crops. If not infrequently happens
that the yield of grain crop can be
doubled by the growing and blowing
under of crop of clover.
The most serious problem at present
confronting the American farmer in
many of the clover sections is the in
creasing difficulty of successfully
maintaining stands of clover upon the
farm.
With continuous cropping and the
consequent depletion of the soil of
humus and plant food the difficulty of
growing red clover is greatly In
creased. This condition must be met
and solved, since the loss of clover or
its equivalent from the rotation leads
rapidly to rundown farm and un-
profitable crop yield.
1t should be emphasized, however,
that the mere Introduction of red
clover into the farm rotation is not
In itself sufficient procedure to main
tain indefinitely the productivity of
the farm. The clover plant adds only
the nitrates to the soil, and removes
large quantities of potash, phosphorus
and lime from the soil, especially
when cut for hay and the manure re-
sulting therefrom is not returned to
the land The increased supply OF
nitrogen may in fact stimulate the
soil to increase yields, temporarily,
only to leave it, after few years, in
condition worse than If no clover
had been grown.
1t is important that considerable
care be taken in choosing the seed to
be sown. If poor seed is used, the ex-
pected crop may be a partial or total
failure.
Red clover seed may be poor and
undesirable from several points of
view. Such seed is constantly being
sold to farmers and should be recog-
nized and rejected. Il may be poorly
developed many seeds being shriveled
and dull brown in color. Such seeds
will not produce plants. Often red
clover is adulterated by the use of yell
low trefoil, dead clover seed, cheap
imported seed or weedy screenings.
Each of these constituents reduces the
stand of healthy plants and makes the
purchaser pay for what he does not
get, transportation included. He is
likely to get an undesired crop OF

BRIDE CHEATS THE SEA

San Francisco The thrilling tale
of the destruction of the three-masted
schooner G. w. Watson on a coral reef
of the South Pacific and the escape
Of Captain Thomas H. Andersen with
his young bride, was told when the

tria the other day.
On board the Aorangi was the Wat

whose honeymoon brought her face to

company on the island of Riatea, a

were cared for by the island chief and

with about 100000 feet Of lumber. A

from that time until the vessel arrived
at the South Sea port forty-nine days
later, the crew was compelled to labor
constantly at the pumps.
At Papeete a native diver made re-
pairs, a portion Of the cargo was dis
charged and the skipper prepared to
wed Miss Ann De Lateur, girl from
Pendleton, Ore, whom he had met and
courted at Raymond during the brief
calls of his ship at that port.
Miss De Lateur had arrived at
Papeete more than a month before,
and therefore was permitted under the
law to wed. Captain Andersen was
informed that he would first have to
remain at the port for month. and
then another month was required for
the bans Of marriage to be displayed
upon the various billboards.
Despite the loud protests of the
French authorities of the city, who de
clared that nothing Of the kind had
ever been done before, the skipper and
his sweetheart chartered a seagoing
launch and with one of the priests
motored beyond the three-mile limit
and were married. Returning to port
the young couple began to keep house
