strike leaders and others to discuss the
strike situation.
Belsted press dispatches last night said
that President Wilson after hearing from
Gov. Ammons had expressed satisfaction
over the result of the Legislatures work
and the announcement of the Governor
that he would take steps at once to send
the State militia back into the strike zone.
These developments caused no end of ex-
element and speculation.
Strike leaders announced tonight that
1000 women In the disaffected districts
had declared they would take UP arms
personally against tho State militia II
Gen. Chase Is sent back there with State
troops.
At meetings In Denver--meetinss OF
either side in the strike problem---it was
declared that Gov. Ammons's telegram
to Wilson IL untrue. The belief was also
expressed that the report that the Presi-
dent is satisfied with the result OF the
special session must be erroneous. The
Governor himself said tonight that he
expects further messages from the Presi-
dent tomorrow.

SUCCESS WITH CLOVER
WORTHY OF MORE GENERAL
GROWTH BY OUR FARMERS.
Crop Should Not Be Looked Upon az
Cure for All Ills Of Soil, but as
an Important Factor In
Renovation Of the Land.

Glover has been grown with varied
success in practically every state in
the Union. Its beneficial action on
the soil, its period OF usefulness, the
wide range of nurse crops with which
1t can be grown, and its excellence as
a hay and pasture crop, all serve to
commend 1t to a place in our crop
ping system and prove II worthy Of
more general growth by our farmers.
Complaints OF WORKOUT soils, weeds
and Improbable crops, do not come
from farmers who have made clover
an important factor in the cropping
system.
Glover should not be looked upon
as a cure for all the ills of the soil
but as an important factor in soil
renovation and in maintaining or In
creasing the supply of vegetable mat
ter in the soil Glover belongs to a
class of plants that, with the aid of
a bacterial growth on their roots,
have the power of absorbing the nitro
gen of the air and leaving it in the
soil for the use Of succeeding crops.
The clover plant has a large root
system that leaves a considerable
amount of vegetable matter in the
soil. This decaying vegetable matter
proves beneficial, in times of drouth,
in holding soil moisture. 1t also
assists in keeping light soils from
washing" and blowing" and heavy
soils from baking"
The clover roots grow quite deeply,
penetrating the subsoil and breaking
It up; so that, when they are decayed,
the soil suitable for crop growth is
made deeper and the drainage is much
improved. Results of experiments

GRATITUDE.

A Derby lady has just received a
aegacy of $500 Gin remembrance of a
bunch of flowers" Such romantic
rewards of little acts of kindness are
not uncommon, and some curious in
stances of the kind are given by the
author of "From Piccadilly to Pail
Mall" Years ago a tradesman, whose
name is now a household word, was
employed in a modest capacity in a
West end shop. While exhibiting
some delicate ware to the very first
customer he served he let it fall and
break. The customer, a doctor,
Igood-naturedly took the blame and
paid for the broken article. Years
later the salesman, now a wealthy
man, called on the doctor, reminded
him of the incident, and settled on
him $4,000 a year for life.

SOWING Glover.

Glover should not be sown too deep
ly; yet It is desirable to SOW 1t sum-
GENTLY deep so that 1t will neither
blow out nor dry out easily. The
amount of seed per acre will vary
slightly with the method OF seeding.
1t is believed that in general farmers
SOW too little, rather than too much,
seed. When sown separately it should
be at the rate Of six to ten pounds
for red and mammoth, four TO six for
alslke, three to four for white.

Add II to the Soil.
show that, in continuous wheat farm
ing, the sowing of six pounds OF
clover seed every spring with the
wheat, and blowing under the clover
in the fall, has given an average an
nual increase, during a period of 15
years, of nearly &c bushels per acre.
Still better results have been obtain
ed where clover is used in four and
five year rotations in combination
with grain, cultivated crops and the
use of farm manures. On heavy soils,
clover should be grown in four and
five year rotations, while on lighter
soils, and soils badly in need Of vege-
table matter, it may be more bene-
ficially grown in three-year rotation.
In growing clover, it is a matter Of
wisdom to SOW only the best of seed.
Do not SOW the seed until 1t has been
given a termination test. This can
easily be made by means of two
plates and a cotton cloth. Take sew
eral folds of a small piece Of cotton
cloth; thoroughly wet this and scatter
between the folds a known number
(several hundredD Of the seeds to be
planted Place this on one plate and
cover with another plate, bottom side
up. See that the cloth is kept moist,
not wet, and at the end Of five or six
days, determine the percentage OF
termination. Seed of poor vitality
will not terminate at all; or, If II
should, 1t will at least give veal
plants that may not survive the sea
son or the following winter. The SEED
should be free from weed seeds anC
other authorizations. Buy seed onl!
from reliable sources. and so far al
possible, use homegrown seed, wheI
It is OF strong vitality and know
purity.
