Fall Seeding of Glover.

Some farmers think that fall is the
hest time in which to SOW clover seed,
while others are equally as sure that
spring is the best. If the right kind Of
SEED is provided and the seed bed pro-
rerly prepared, the seeding may be
successfully done either in the spring
or in the fall. If, however, poor seed
is sown and the ground is not proper
ly prepared, there is liable to be a
failure, no matter when the work is
done.
l have had success in sowing both
in the fall and in the spring. ! cannot
see much difference. Fall sowing is
generally preferably because it can
be done at a time when there is not so
much rush work on the farm. This
being true, a better job can be done,
and, consequently, a better stand will
be the result.
When l intend to SOW clover in the
fall, I plow the ground about the mid
Ole of August. About ten days after
being plowed it is narrowed thorough
ly and leveled with a long float. This
float is made similar to a road drag
and, in passing over the field, it levels
the ground very smoothly. Either in
the spring or fall seeding this float
should be used.s
In about a week after the ground
has been narrowed and leveled with
the float, it is worked again with d
harrow, followed by a light planker.
Then I SOW the plat to rye, placing on
about three pecks to the acre, and har-
row the ground twice, once each way.
After this is done, I SOW the clover
seed at the rate of fifteen pounds to
the acre, and give the ground one light
harrowing.-H. U.

THE PASSING OF SUMMER.

Later the glow of sunrise drives
Darkness from dreaming Halls away;
Cooler the breath of morn arrives;
Fewer the bird notes at break or
day;
Fainter the green on the lawn;
Summer is almost gone!
| Over the fields that at morning lie
Peaceful and r~estful, a quiet broods
! Telling of autumn drawing might,
VieWless on paths through fields and
woods;
Stepping the meads upon:
Summer is almost gone!
Over the stiffness of August noon
S Comes a slow change, im~perceptible,
slight,
Something withdrawn from the suns
full boon,
Falling it's glory of golden light,
Lavished when at solstice it shone:
Summer is almost gone!
Sooner the shadow, of evening falls,
Faint comes the scent of aftermath
hay;
Earlier the moonrise glow e~nthralls,
Slower the brook runs at close of
day;
Earlier nights curtain is drawn;
Summer is going-is gone!

GOMPERS

Reviews Purposes and Methods of Fed.
Grafton of LabOr-Defends It's Legis.
latiVe Activities.

Washington, Sept. 31.-Samuei
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, closed his two
days testimony before the house lob
by committee tonight with a dramatic
warning to the manufacturers of the
country, a. defense of the legislative ac-
tIVities of the federation and a bitter
attack upon the Sherman; antitrust
law as applied to labor unions.
Gompers spoke at the end of a day
devoted to an inquiry into the political
and legislative efforts of, the fedora
ton. He began with a statement that
in the United States, which has burst
into industrial life, there is no feeling
between employer and employee such
as is found in European nations where
industrial life has to some extent taken
the place of serfdom and of relations
between master and man, the product
of centuries. In Europe he said, this
transition had been accompanied by
a deeper feeling for the employe and
in consequence those countries were
decades ahead of the United States in
legislation for the protection of tho
lives of workingmen.
Reviewing at some length the court
decisions against labor organizations
under the Sherman act, the witness
said:
"The federation exists at the suffer-
ance of an administration. Under the
Sherman law and the procedure of the
federation in the exercise of power no
more than the individual exercises
every day-the power to withhold pa
tronage-are restrained and three fold
damages can be claimed and Obtained"

Of ACTION ON
Mr.. PlNKHAM

Action by the United States senate
on the nomination of L e. Pinkham
for governor was expected to matte
'rialize today, but no word has been
received from Washington that the
nomination was taken up. There was
no special reason for the expectation
that confirmation would be made to-
day other than the fact that Thursday
is looked upon as confirmation day. 2
All the recent information from
Washington has been that there is NO
doubt OF confirmation when the SEN
ate has given Senator John Sharp
Williams plenty Of time to prepare his
opposition to favorable action. Re-
cent adviees- indicated that ,Pinkham
would be confirmed by large major
ity. Senator Williams was absent last
Thursday, when Pinkham's name
would have come up, and 1t is thought
that very likely he was absent again
today.

Your committee has taken the mat

the police authorities, It is probable
that the sale will not take place until

The commission under the law has
no right to sit at a hearing on the
