SWEET CLOVER.
snee. Considered Weed-6ut Now.
Valuable PIant-Good, Soil Build
er-WhIte Variety Best.

3y j. @. HANEY, Grand Forks, N. D.
There are two varieties Of sweet
clover that are gaining favor as hay
ind pasture crops, the white and the
yellow Powered. These plants r
closely related to alfalfa, but they are
biennials, that is, a single plant lives
only two years. However, the sweet
clovers are such persistent seed pro-
ducers, the seed Of such high vitality,
and the young plants so vigorous, that
when once established, 1t appears to
live from year to year. The ordinary
methods Of moving it at random along
the roadsides Or on abandoned or IN
occupied lots or fields, has little ap'
paIent effect.
Sweet clover is considered by most
farmers as a bad weed. It, however,
has long had friends who have learn
ed it's value, and recently, especially
in the drier sections and on poor soil,
it is gaining much favor as a pasture
and hay crop. The fact that it has a
rather repulsive odor and taste. and
that stock do not eat it to any great
extent are the faults usually placed
against it. However when stock are
confined to sweet clover pasture, they
soon learn to like it and fatten very
rapidly, and there seems to be no
trouble from animal bloating on
clover Is there often is with alfalfa.
In Colorado, along the railroads, there
are many plants Of sweet clover that
have been eaten off by range cattle.
feeding value, alfalfa and sweet
clover are very nearly equal.
The white sweet clover seems to
give best satisfaction for both hay
and pasture. For hay, the plants must
be cut early-about the time the first
blooms appear. At this time the re-
pulsive odor and taste are not so no.
ticeable as at later stages of growth.
Early cutting is best, because a Sec
ond growth will come Immediately
and produce a second cutting OF a
seed crop. The yield of hay Is re-:
ported to be equal to or greater than
alfalfa. The handling of a seed crop
is somewhat more difficult than alfal.
ia, as it skaters very badly. 1t is also
essential that sweet clover be cut
high-about four .inches-the first
time or there is danger Of killing
many Of the plants.
The requirements Of sweet clover
as to preparation Of seed bed, method
of seeding, amount Of seed per acre,
ETC., are practically the anne Is for al.
.falfa. 1t is not probable that sweet
clover will be found better than al
!falfa, where the latter can be grown
successfully. but in the drier sections
:or on land that does not grow alfalfa
readily, it certainly is worth while
making a trial Of sweet clover. The
agricultural papers lately have pub
lished many instances Of successful
trials Of sweet clover. For lack Of
space these are not reproduced here.

TRIAL OF JOHN
 PETER ZENGER

The trial of John Peter Zenger in l735 resulted in the establishing Of q free press in America. It was the first trial in this country of charge or libel against the government. Zenger was one of Americas pioneer newspaper editors, and the first is sue of his periodical, called the Ne" York Weekly Journal" appeared on November .. 1733, and he continued printing and publishing it until the following January. when the Chief Justice, James de Lancey, charged him with having printed seditious libels.
 There was q bitter controversy waging between Governor Crosby and the people of the Province Of New York The legislature and the council had been brought under the influence of the governor, and the higher courts of law were also so modelled as to be instruments in the hands of the government against the people. The only recourse of the people was in the press.
 iit NAl'Ci JuolitN, ''N tiit A'AtiP''ei''' Cf the governor, endeavored in vain to prevail upon the grand jury tc indict Zenger. The council then pro- nounced four of Zenger's issues to be false, scandalous. malicious and seditiOus libels," and ordered them to be burned by the common hang man. The order was read in the court of quarter sessions, but the magistrates would not suffer it tt be entered. The sheriff caused the rapers to be burned by his colore( servant.
 Zenger was then arrested by or. Ger of the countil and thrown into jail. His friends procured a writ oi habeas corpus, but the bail wa. i placed so high that he could not pro | cure it. While he was thus lying i: 1 jail the judges tried to get him in 1 dicted, but without success. The at l tCrney general then charged him bl information for misdemeanor il printing the libels. Two popula' 1 leaders. James Alexander and William Smith, undertook the defense Q

In a very short time Easter will be here and Easter presents will be in order. That heretofore has made d lively moment in the ostrich feather department of Balke's Big Curio store There is no gift more suitable or more to be appreciated for wife. sister or some other fel- lows sister than one of the Arizona ostrich plumes such as ale kept at the Big Curio Store. One of those plumes makes a rosy Easter gift that will last a lifetime and the giv- CT always will be kindly remembered The ostrich plume is an article Of adornment that will never go out or fashion, and just now they are being worn more than ever
 The Arizona ostrich plumes are known all over the United States by the advertisement and distribution that the Big Curio Store has been making of them for several years. They are sent into every state from Maine to California and have been shipped by the Big CuflO store to England, Germany and France.
 The Arizona plume is pronounced by government experts to be the handsomest and the best in the world. They are not only glossier, but more durable than the South African plume. In the purchase of one of these plumes the giver of an Easter present can make no mis- take.-( -(Advertisement.)

available in the near future.

The Purchasing of Supplies" will be the chosen topic on which J. D. Loper. of the Phoenix city schools will speak. It is subject near the official heart of every member of the Maricopa boards, since, according to MT. Loper, future savings to the schools in large sums can be accom- plished by the application of scien- tific buying principles.
 A. J. Higgins, county superinten- dent of schools, will speak on The Transfer of Students From One County to Another.' and will be followed by two others who will choose another phase of the subject. MT. Higgins will uphold the state statute, while one of the later speak CTS will take an opposite view of the question, seeking to prove that uni versal transfer should be allowed, and another will uphold non transfer in all times and under all conditions.
 Other subjects which will come before the trustees at the meeting
Arizona republican., 1914-03-10

will be- Agriculture in Public In- stitutions," Music and Drawing in the Rural Schools" The School as q Social Center and The Employ ment Of Teachers"
 In Maricopa county there are, all told, about 175 school trustees. Last year over fifty per cent. of the members of boards in the county were in attendance on the meetings. It is hoped that more will be in duced to be on hand for this years meetings. and special attention will be called to the 175 at various times before the date for the meeting, in order that they will bear in mind that their attendance is necessary to the future of the schools in this val ley and county.

ever, on hearing the result, declared it
was all fraud and she would straigbten
things out by having another town meet
