Clover is a Good SiIage Crop.

Clover is next to corn in i'm
portance as silage crop. 1t
has the advantage over the for
mer in that it does not draw as
heavily on the costly element,
nitrogen, of the soil. 1t also is
richer in protein, which is an i'm.
portant thing in it's favor rel
atiye to the production of milk
and flesh. Then, too, clover
needs no cultivation and can be
raised considerably cheaper than
corn. When fed as hay, clover
has lost much of its nutritive,
Volatile elements through abras-
ure; it loses many of its leaves,
which are the richest parts OF
the plant, and, lastly, it is nc
more a succulent plant.
Alfalfa, like clover, can be
successfully sliced, and all that
has been said of the latter is
true in an even greater degree in
the case of the former. In addi.
ton alfalfa is richer in protein
than any other silage material
and is for that reason ideal for
milk cows.
In the South sofa beans take
the place of alfalfa and the lie
gume crops of the North, and
when mixed in half-and-half
proportions with corn it makes
excellent silage.

A Striking Comparison.

A man is so good as he is, no
better. Even prison walls do
not make men equal, although
prison is the most Democratic OF
places. The man whose mind is
a foul charneI-house, whose
greatest pleasure is to retail fill
thy stories and to revel in Oh
scene jokes that disgust all de-
cent men, is not the equal of the
man clean in word and thought.
The lazy creature who flies when
ever possible from work and
Sights whatever he does do, is
not in the same class with the
man who does his, be it pleasant
or unpleasant, promptly and as
we'll as he can. The liar, who
either from boastfulness or be-
cause he hopes to gain something
by untruth, is ever seeking to
deceive, is not at all like the
man whose word is his bond and
who tries to make his words
agree with the facts. The petty
thief, who steals, often from
mere habit, is not akin to the
man who never takes what does
not belong to him. The Sneak,
the tale bearer and the SANDER
er are not on the same level with
the manly man. There are men
of many classes in prison. as well
as out of it, and they are not
equal by any means. And the
inequality is due, not to position
or possessions or to what they
have been, but solely to the fact
that that some are one kind OF
men and the others are their di.
rect antitheses.- Star of Hope.

The Wisconsin e G S a tn e
passed at its recent session a
law that has just gone into eff
feet, known as the Ani-gossip
Law, and the first real test case
under it will be the charge
against man that he gossipped
about the character of a woman
in derogatory way. L n e
penalty is a heavy fine, or
Imprisonment, or both. Writing
in the Lexington Herald Col. W.
P, Walton truthfully says the
average retailer of scandal does
not feel that there is any par
ticular harm in telling story
about a friend or neighbor, but
he should be made to realize that
gossip has ruined many persons,
women in particular, and that it
is not only a sill, but a crime to
engage in it. If the law can put
stop to scandalous gossip it will
save many lives from being
wrecked by an insidious poison
more deadly than drugs. Some
times a mild hint of scandal is
enough to ruin the whole life of
a woman. Those who hear it re-
peat it greatly enlarged, and it
goes on like a snow ball down
the hill, until the poor woman,
whether guilty or not. suffers the
consequences. There is in Ken
lucky, as in other states, laws
against uttering criminal
charge against person, punish
able by fine or damages. but until
the Wisconsin law adopted there
was none that went directly at
the root of the evil. If the law
does nothing more thau direct at
tention to the greatest OF all sins
