as cultivation to the crop. A top dres-
sing of fertilizer made at this time will
also give splendid crop results in increa-
sed yield of grain, and at the same time
help the clover very materially.
When clover is sown at the same time
as spring oats or other spring grain
crops, it is best to cover the grain by
narrowing and then SOW the grass and
over seed, Immediately afterward fol-
lowing with brush harrow or roller to
lover the grass seed. Do not harrow
ne cover or grass seed in with the
grain, as 1t will cover them too deeply.
Farmers everywhere should take every
advantage possible for sowing the clov-
ers as the clover crop is PROFESSIONALLY
the best way of improving and keeping
up the productiveness of the land.
The use of Alsike clover is increasing
10 considerable extent all through this
and other sections in the South wher-
ever clover seed is sown. Experience in
the pass Two years has proven that it
stands hot dry weather better than Red
C over, and in great many instances
where Red clover has failed to give sat
isfactory stands Alske has come through
all right. From the experience of our
farmers, We believe that Alsike clover
will be much more generally used than
heretofore. 1t Is getting to be a very
common custom now to seed it mixed
with the Red clover. When sown with
Red clover pounds of Red and pounds

Alfalfa can be advantageously sown in

March through April. In Ohio and some
Of the Western states, May and early in
June are favorite times for seeding, but
in this section it should be put in earl
Ter. A satisfactory stand secured from
spring seeding will furnish one or two
outings this year and full cuttings the
following year. Alfalfa should always
oe cut before coming INFO full bloom
ant from seed sown either last fall or
this spring, the first cutting should be
made even before it reaches this stage
of development. Cutting thickens al
falfa provided it is done before the plant
attains it's full growth. and it not only
makes better quality hay, but causes
i to s,ooi out better thus Ihickening
the root growth, and stooling out prop
critics.
1t is very good p an to SOW at least
or pounds of Alfalfa per acre with
al your seedlings of grasses and clovers
You will not only add 20 the value of
your mixtures. but will innoculate the
land and be better able 10 determine
whether your land is adapted to Alfalfa
N case you should desire at some time
10 seed the field altogether in Alfalfa.
The winter and rust proof OATS can be
satisfactorily seeded up to the middle
Of March. If oats are sown after that
t-me the Burt, Sensation, Washington or
swedish Select should be sown. All of
these spring oats give much better and
more satisfactory results than the ord
nary varieties Wood Crop Special.

SEASONABLE NOTES
FOR MARCH

The unusually cold and severe winter
weather which we have experienced this
season has delayed farm work very con-
siderably all through the South, and Is
likely to make the season a little later
than usual. 1t is the general experience
that cold winters are usually followed
by productive crop years, and we trust
that this will be the experience of our
farmers this year. Certainly after cold
winters crops seem to grow off better
and quicker than when we have mild
open winters. 1t is of course especially
desirable, on this account, that farmers
shall get in all the crops as early as the
weather conditions will allow.
From present Indications early pota-
toes promise to be a particularly salts
factory and profitable crop, owing to the
scarcity and high price of old potatoes,
which is likely to make a big demand
for the new potatoes as soon as they can
be marketed at good, profitable prices.
II is, therefore, desirable for our farm
ers and market growers to plant liberal
ly of the early varieties of potatoes, in
order to meet what at present promises
to be an enormous demand for this crop.
March is The best month for sowing
clover seed, and in this immediate vic
unity from the 10th of March to the 1st
of April is considered the best time for
seeding Experienced farmers claim that
they get surer and better stands sown
at this time shan any other time of the
year.
Red and Mammoth clovers are every
where considered the standard forage
and soil improving crops. They not only
make good hay and gra ing crops, but
are continually improving the land, and
clover sod plOWed under can usually be
counted on as the best and most produc-
tive field on the farm. The Red and
Mammoth clOvers, too, are different from
the crimson, in that they are perennials,
and the fields keep in good productive
condition, either Of hay or pasturage
for two or three years; whereas, crimson
clover, being an annual, requires to be
seeded each year, and the crop turned
under the first year after being sown.
Glover seed can be sown to the very
best advantage on your wheat or other
grain crops which were put in last fail,
running sAarp tooth harrow over the
grain fields after seeding the clover. This
running OF the harrow over the frain
field does not hiura the grain crop but
is of decided benefit to it, acting really

A RIOT IN BELFAST
When Catholics and Orange
men Have Clash.

BELFAST, Ireland, July 12.-In a
series of fights between Orangemen
and Catholics in various parts of this
city today more than 100 persons were
hurt. All the regular and reserve po-
lice in the city were on riot duty and
at one time the situation became SO
serious that troops were held under
orders in the barracks. The trouble
started when Catholics attempted to
wreck arches erected by the Orange
men in connection with today's cele-
bration of the battle of the Boyne.
Fully 5000 Orangemen gathered
here from all parts of Ulster and ar
rangements were made for a big pa
rade and an enormous anti-home rule
demonstration. The weather was un-
favorabl and rain fell throughout the
morning, but despite this the process
sion was held. The Orangemen head
ed by half a dozen brass bands, march
ed through the principal streets of the
city carrying banners and cheering.
After the parade many Orangemen
held a meeting at which they passed
resolution declaring their intention
to use every effort to defeat the home
rule bill.

The Deer Killing Brutes Get No Mercy
From the Natives.
The Swedish Lapps are said to live
entirely with, by and upon their rein
deer. A Lapp who owns a thousand
deer is a rich man, but as taxes are
assessed upon the number Of deer, he
is inclined to underestimate his herd.
The most dangerous enemy to the herd
is the wolf, which can kill many deer
in a night. A band of wolves can make
a rich Lapp poor.
When the snow is deep and soft and
it is announced that wolf tracks have
been seen in the neighborhood of the
deer, the swiftest runners on snow.
shoes prepare for an exciting chase.
The wolf may have a start of mile
or two. but the track 1t leaves in the
deep, soft snow is so conspicuous that
the hunters can follow it at their best
speed. The wolf. though he may run
swiftly, has but a slight chance of es-
Gaping his pursuers on their snowshoes.
Each hunter does his best to outrun
the others, for the wolf belongs to the
Lapp who strikes the first blow. AS
soon as the leading hunter is close
enough to the wolf he gives it heavy
blow across the loins with his strong.

Aitutaki Islanders Pull Them Up by

The island Of Aitutaki. one of the
Herrey group, in the Pacific, is sur
rounded by islets underneath which
are submarine caverns, the homes of
sharks. These sharks, which are about
six feet long, are esteemed a delicacy,
and the natives catch them with nooses.
Arrived over the entrance to the
shark cave, the fisherman leaves his
canoe to the care Of his companions
and dives to the bottom. carrying with
him q strong cord tied into slip knot.
He expects to find two or three sharks
