WORKS or STEVENSON
Manuscripts and Works Of Popular
Writer Unearthed in Samoa and
Hawaii, by an Admirer.

IA 1t Is learned that a number of new
Ind relatively important manuscripts
Sof Robert Louis Stevenson have been
discovered in Samoa and in Honolulu
by an ardent admirer of the great
Novelist, who has been for some time
in both Hawaii and Samoa seeking
such writings of the famous Scotsman
rs might possibly be found in the pcs
session of some of the many friends
of Stevenson during his years in the
Pacific.
The result of this research has been
the finding of an essay, said to be
highly poetical in character, written
by the novelist after witnessing a vol
cano in action, supposedly either the
famed crater of Savaii or the pit of
Kilauea in Hawaii; a piece of fiction
Healing with South sea life, and a
humber Of smaller verse compositions.
Still another manuscript, a blank
verse relation of a wellknown legend
Of Maui, of considerable length, but
unfinished, has also come to light, and
the enthusiastic admirer of Stevenson
feels highly rewarded for his month
Of effort. .

PROPER CULTURE OF CLOVER

My best results in clover growing

far / have grown exclusively the me-
dunn or common red clover, says a
writer in the New England Home
stead. / usually SOW from eight to
twelve pounds per acre on a well-pre-
pared seed bed. I prefer sowing with

have been tried for this purpose.
prefer barley, as it does not form
such a dense shade for the young
clover plants when they are start
ing. The crop of clover grows rapid
ly, and cutting begins about July 4 in
this locality, and sometimes a little
earlier in the fields where clover is
without any other grasses. and some
times a little later if timothy and
clover are mixed.
Glover is not grown to any great ex-
tent in this locality. The past two
seasons have not been the best to
secure a stand. The real danger of
clover-killing comes in the spring.
When it freezes and thaws out, and
the ground heaves the plants are torn
loose and die. Whenever the snow
collects 1t comes in. fine shape in
the spring. With the continued cult
walton of this soil and with a large
amount Of manure worked into the
sol will come better clover-raising in
this part of the state.

Green Feeds Year Around.

There is nothing better than well

tire. This should be cut up fine and
steamed. Glover is not only highly
heterogeneous, but rich in lime, a sub
stance required by the hens for pro-
viding shells for the eggs.
Aside from the alfalfa there is no
other food that can take the place of
clover. BY allowing a ration of scald-
ed clover to hens they will keep in bet
ter laying condition and the produc-
ton Of eggs will be increased. Where
clover hay cannot be secured, bran is
a very good substitute. though not SO
rich in mineral matter.
Vegetable food should be supplied
the year around. such as cabbage, po-
tatoes, beets and turnips.

BLAME PLACED ON PHYSICIANS
1rowth Of Drug Habit In United States
Alleged to Be Due to opiates
Ordered in Prescriptions.

That 90 per cent. of ali the cocaine
and morphine manufactured in this
country is used by persons who have
formed the drug habit through physi-
clans prescriptions is the startling
statement made by DR.. L. F. Kebler.
Chief Of the Division of Drugs, Depart
ment of Agriculture. This statement,
concerning the appalling growth Of
drug addiction in the United States,
was made by DR.. Kebler in an address
at Washington, before the American
Society for the Study OF Alcohol and
Narcotics.
DR.. Kebler is quoted by Washington
papers as having declared that drug
using had increased 100 per cent. in
the last 40 years. and that American
medical men were not discriminating
enough in their use Of opiates. Their
overindulgence to their patients, he
said, is creating thousands of drug
users every cal.
1T is a very sad thing to say that
u physicians are doing the greatest
work in promoting the use of cocaine
and morphine" said the doctor. state
laws are not sewing the public from
the grip OF the drug habit, and the
American pubic is sinking tighter
and tighter into the black abyss OF
the morphine and cocaine fiend.
THE worst of it is that the impor-
tation of opium into the country is
becoming larger and larger year by
year. / have heard it said on reliable
authority that 80 per cent. of the Co
caine and morphine manufactured in
this country is used by persons who
have formed the habit through doc.
tors prescriptions"
Almost simultaneously with DR.. Keb,
ler's address, DR.. J. A. Patterson, at
Grand Rapids, Michigan, in a public
statement said that 10 out of every 20
patients who come to an institution
with which he is connected for treat
ment for the drug habit owe Their
downfall to physicians prescriptions.

H0TBED is VERY IMPORTANT
Best Location 10 on South Side OF
Building for Protection-Prc-
vide Fall for Rains.
(By ]. w. GRIFFIN.)

The hotbed is a very important part
Of a well-kept garden. 1t lengthens
the season in which we may supply
our tables with fresh vegetables.
A bed that is IL feet long and 6
feet wide will accommodate four reg.
nlar.sized sashes, 3x6 feet. In this
bed we have 4S squares Of space,
which is sufficient to grow the plants
for a good-sized garden. A garden,
three or four hotbeds and some cold,
frames is a good start toward sue
cessful truck farming.
The best location for the hotbe6 is
on the south side of the building, a
high, tight board fence, OF one pro,
tected by a heavy growth of ever
green's for a windbrake.
The site should be a little higher
than the surrounding surface SO that
good drainage may be secured. Make
an excavation a little wider and a
little longer than the bed is to be.
The inside dimensions for a bed G
feet wide and IL feet long will be
6 feet 4 inches wide. and IL feet a
inches long. The excavation should
be about 2 feet deep. The opening
should be boarded up with pinch stuff
for keeping out the mice and moies
Where possible, the beds should face
southeast, or directly east. asr.
The back of the frame should be 1G
inches, and the front about 8 inches
high. This gives sufficient fall fol-
water from rains or SHOWS to drain
off nicely, and the rays of sunshine
will have better opportunity to get al
the small seedlings.

WuNOTES&R

Fill up those vacant spaces in the
orchard with some good fruit trees.
1t is too late to start in the
fruit business, enough at least for the
home supply.
Good, young apple trees come high,
but the poor ones are Gedrer than
any other kind.
There will be a very heavy demand
for trees next spring, and late orders
will certainly be untitled.
Five feet apart is about the right
distance for the currant and goose
berry bushes. Do not crowd.
II you want a fine, early yellow
peach, put two DR. three Triumph
trees in your next nursery order.
Wood ashes are valuable to spread
around fruit trees for small fruits and
vegetables; they should not be
wasted.
The root louise often causes apple
scab, and ashes or lime around the
trunk will stop the ravages Of the
root louise.
Expert o~rchardists recommend seed
Ing the 10 crimson clover
or rye to be plowed down the follow
ing spring.
While apples do not rank high as
pig feed it is best to give them to the
pigs rather than to let them rot uns
der the trees.
The peach makes a good stock for
some variety Of plum. 1t has a larger
and stronger root system than most
plum varieties.
The climate and conditions that are
best for the apple are best for the
human family. Both thrive best III
the temperate zone.
In heeling in trees remember to
cover the tops as well as the roots.
Rabbits can bark heeled-in trees as
easily as those planted In the orchard

ciple involved is not generally known.
The yeast fungus, when once intro
duced into a manure-heap suitable to
its development, spreads rapidly, and
soon has the whole mass in a state of
heat.
Horse manure Is the best, espe
cially when the horse has been fed on
rich foods, such as grain, bran and
oilmeal. The bulk of the manure
should be u~rine-soaked straw, that
which has served as bedding in the
stalls. Forest leaves, when mixed in
with straw, make a heat that Is most
powerful and lasting.
The manure should be hauled d.
rectly from the stalls to the beds
and piled in a conical heap, leaving IT
until fermentation has set up.
Before fermentation becomes toe
lively, which is ascertained by the es.
Gaping steam, the pile should be fork
ed over into another part of the
frame and left over until the escape
should be tramped into the frame per-
fectly solid.
If the manure is very hot, the soil
should be put on at once, but If not,
the sash should be placed over the
manure for a few days, until the
manure is well heated, then the soil
put on.
The bed should be watched, and as
soon as the seeds of weeds which are
in the soil begin to come up all over
the bed, it is time to plant the garden
seed.
Do not neglect the ventilation, as
the bed will get very warm on
sunny days, at which time the sash
should be opened a little at the top.
and be careful that no direct draft
reaches the tender plants.
A covering Of old carpet or mating
Is good to place over the sash during
cold nights, and during the day, when
there is much sunshine. The frames
should be closed before nightfall, es-
pecially on cloudy afternoons, and
they should have manure banked up
around them during the cold spells.
AS soon as the plants are two or
three inches tall, they should be
transplanted to the cold frames
which are not unlike the hotbeds, ex.
cept that they have no bottom heat,
and are covered with muslin to keep
off the chill and frost.

ECONOMY IN GROUND GRAIN
Enables Animal to Take Food Into
Stomach In State Of Ready and
Thorough Digestion.
By r. G. wEATHERsToNE.)

Where food is ground before being
fed, we are sure that the animal takes
the food into it's body in a state which
will admit of a ready and thorough
digestion and assimilation, while
whole-grain rations often are but
slightly chewed, swallowed and pass
through the animal in that unchanged
form.
This means not only a great waste
of food, but also that it furnishes very
little nutrition for the upbuilding OF
bone and muscular tissue. A feed,
grinder soon pays for itself. especially
in the winter, by avoiding any waste
