CLIPPING THE CLOVER BACK
Good Farming Not to Allow Plant to
Produce Seed Year II ls Sown
Cutting or Bloom Helps.

When good stand of clover has
been secured by sowing nurse crop,
when 1t has passed safely through the
critical period and this crop has been
removed, II the conditions are favor.
able, red clover, alsike and mammoth
are all likely to attempt to produce n
seed crop the year they are sown, says
Wallace's Farmer. We have seen
times, when conditions were very IA
vorable, when a crop Of hay would
be secured from the spring sowing.
and In one case we know OF, some
years ago, both crop of hay and a
crop of seed were produced.
This would naturally convert this
biennial into an annual, and IL would
be interesting to know just what hap
pened to that field the next year. Our
belief is that 1t would act exactly as
twoyear-old clover after crop OF hay
and crop Of seed has been secured
the year after II is sown. We do not
think 1t advisable to permit clover to
produce seed the year 1t is sown. 1t
would undoubtedly weaken the stand,
as a stalk that has produced seed has
served its purpose. and will be very
likely to disappear the next year.
We found out by experience that by
clipping our clover back, that is cut
ting II off high enough simply to take
off the seed heads, we secure a much
better stand the next year There
fore, we think 1t is good farming not
to allow clover to produce seed the
year II is sown. Care should be taken
to do this clipping just at the right
time, and to set the cutter bar high
enough so as not to injure the plant,

President Porhrio Diaz, who ruled
over Mexico for more than a quarter
of century as an absolute dictator
believed that only such iron rule could
bring peace and progress to the half
civilized millions of that country.
Several years ago, when his power
was still unbroken, an American, who
was on intimate terms with him, ven
tured to suggest that the Mexicans
were now prepared for a more liberal
form of government, and hinted that
his rule was too severe.
The stern old man stiffened his
gaunt figure, and ran his fingers
through his locks, now white with
years.

no tiabbiness about the hams and a
well.carried tail puts finish to a pig,
which helps 1t greatly at the time of
sale to the butcher.
The quantity of bone should also be
accompanied by strength of bone, be-
cause 1t is not possible to carry a
heavy weight of meat OF very fine
quality without substance. Round
bone should be avoided. as 1t indicates
lack Of breeding and is Invariably as
ISOLATED with fat carcass.
The pasterns should not be weak
and the pig should be straight on its
legs. This is likewise of great i'm
portance, for exercise IS necessary
in the production of the best class of
carcass.
These may seem small points, yet
they all indicate particular functions
which the bacon pig is supposed to
fulfill.

plentiful, there is an inducement to

this is greater blessing than some
persons realize. In building a house,
the subject Of ventilation should be
very carefully considered.
Another point that is often over
looked is in selecting plan which ad-

Houses today. in general, are not so
large as they used to be, when meas.
ured by size alone. The increasing
cost Of lumber, labor, and other build
ing items OF expense have induced
many economies; but inventive archi-
tects have made better use Of the
smaller space, so that an eight-room
modern house contains a great deal
more convenience than an eight-room
house built twenty years ago, although
the outside dimensions of the older
house may be very much the larger.
Twenty years study in this direction
has resulted in many improvements,
both In design and by the way of add
ing multitude of small conveniences.
Formerly little attention was paid
TO the spacing of doors and windows
in order to admit of placing the furni-
ture conveniently or artistically. Only
Of late has the possibility of a small
house for comfort and convenience
been recognized. 1t requires a space
at least 4 12 by feet to accommo-
date a goodsized, comfortable bed;
and this space should not be inter
fered with by placing windows or
doors in the way The advancing price
OF coal Is another strong argument

and it has the additional advantage of
not occupying any space in the room.

''l am thoroughly convinced that con victs on the roads are the best means Of procuring good roads" said Ben Price.
 They assert that to work conyicts costs great deal more than working common labor at so much per day. There is one thing certain and that is the county and state has neglected trying out that won derful theory for many. many years be- cause we have not secured any good roads to speak of If the free labor is best why not get it, and if the convict labor is best why not get that? The idea has struck me that if convict labor is so high that the coal operators of this state using that class of labor must be rather poor business men for the yare constantly after the class of labor and bid spiritedly for it.
 Tt seems to me that if convicts are so high that it would scarcely be possible that the iron operators of this industrial district would be so keen for this class of labor They seem to work convicts without losing money. If that is true then it seems to me that the people whom. by their laws, furnish convicts should certainly work them economically.
 There seems to be one undeniable fact and that is the trial would be worth while. and the question cannot be definitely settled until the trial is made and then it will be proven beyond dis pute'

The men have retained their health better; they have made good roads and bridges, and they have not been deprived of sun shine and fresh air. to which they are entitled.

 Gone but no forgotten is a tune that Bad Bill'' Dahlen, former man. ager of the Brooklyn club, may now sing with zest when recollections of his Dodger regime come floating back to mind. To show their appreciation of his work while manager of their club, the Dodger regulars presented Dahlen a handsome nine-piece silver service the other day in Augusta. Unaware of the honor that was to be bestowed on him, Dahlen was happily chatting with several of his former henchmen at a banquet rendered him by the Newark and Brooklyn team, when big Jake Daubert arose. and after eulo- gistic talk. presented the service to him as token of esteem from the Dodgers.
