CHOCOLATE AS A FOOD.
u Should Be Eaten After and Never
Before Meals.

Chocolate is one of the most whole
some OF foods. But it should be re-
served for eating after meals. Nothing
can be worse than chocolate eaten
Just before q meal, for then 1t ruins
the appetite. Chocolate should consist
OF equal parts of sugar and cocoa
When it contains, as most Of that sold
10 the cheap candy stores does. more
sugar than cocoa it loses much of its
real food value.
Koenig. the great German chemist
who has done so much TO enlighten the
world on the value floods by publish
ing his analysis of them. says that
chocolate contains 6.27 per cent Of pro-
tein. CO per cent of theobromine. p 20
per cent of fat. 1.36 per cent Of tar
taric acid 53.T0 per cent Of sugar, 4.o7
per cent Of starch, 1.67 per cent of Gel.
Iuiose and $50 per cent of other car
bohydrates. Therefore it is highly nu-
tritive.

clover so that their roots intermingle,
as the sweet clover roots evidently
supply nitrogen to other plants.
Crops following a two year rotation,
with sweet clover will gain in yield
from rs to so per cent.
The tap roots of the sweet clover
extend down into the ground several
feet and when they decay they leave
holes where water readily flows mois-
tening the ground to a considerable
epth., These decayed roots are at
the same time a good nitrogen fertil-
izer.
/ believe it is a mistake to try to
raise alfalfa on run down farm land.
If sweet clover were grown for two
years and the land then seeded to
alfalfa, failure would be reduced to a
minimum, as the ground would be In
oculated and enriched by so doing.

qualities in which sweet clover is su
perior to other legumes.

given soil than red clover, alsike, Oh

The nationwide agitation that has
been stirred up by the supposed 'im-
modesties" of women's present garb
is just a little unfair. Transparent
skirts, l. c. U. shirtwaists and ripped
skirts have been vigorously denounced
by press and pulpit. Papers that go
into the home have printed three-col-
umn half-tones of the new styles,
showing every astounding detail. But
never word has been said regarding
the absurdities of the male attire. We
determined to see the Average Young
Man about this.
"Mr. A. Y NJ" we began, there
has been a lot said and little done
about the clothes our wimmen friends

so much piety and purity about till the
slashed skirt was invented. Why not

CLOVER AND-CROPS

In view of the fact that until within
the past few years most farmers in
Illinois regarded the sweet clover
plant as a noxious weed, a letter on
the subject, from w. NJ Budlong of
Rockford, ILL.,, will be of interest to
farmers throughout the state. MIR. Bud
long says:
Having read the farmers institute
bulletins with a great deal of interest,
l know you are doing a good work.
There is, however, one subject which
consider of considerable Importance
which you have not nentioned-name-
ly, the value of sweet clover in the
rotation of crops.
For soil incubation preparatory to
raising alfalfa and to restore a run
down soil to a fertile state-no crop
can equal sweet clover. There are
many thousands of acres of land in
Illinois so low in fertility that the i'm
mediate attempt to raise alfalfa or
most any iegume on them, would be
failure, but when sown to sweet
clover will yield an abundant harvest
of hay, besides materially enriching
the soil by its deep roofing system.
Most farmers are not aware that
sweeta clover hay cut several times
during the season is nearly as tender
and palatable as alfalfa hay. / have
seen herds of cattle leave a good blue
grass pasture for a sweet clover pas
| ture.
Thomas Nicholson of Davis juno
ton, H., sowed sweet clover with his
oats year ago last spring, and after
the oats were cut and the cattle were
allowed access to the sweet clover ir
the stubble his yield OF milk doubled
and the cream more than doubled a:
evidenced by his creamery receipts
This increase he said was due to tht
superior feeding qualities of swee
clover.
Frank CoVerdaIe of Delmar, Iowa
who has 200 acres in sweet clover ant
has been raising it for fifteen years
found the pasture lands of Iowa woult
be increased four fold in feeding val
ne If they were seeded to sweet Glove

hsiderably more luxuriantly when It i

his own ,of taking his walks comfort
ably. A visitor in the peighborhood of
Sledmere would see the baronet set out
for his morning round wearing two or
three overcoats. When he felt warm
enough he would take of first one and
then another and lay it on the nearest
hedgerow. The person who found an
overcoat and returned it to the house
always received the reward of Il shil,

were willing searchers.
