possible. The clover requires a sweet soil. Select reasonably fertile piece of land. preferably land that has had COW peas on it. It is not nec cssary to inoculate for crimson clover, however, many have found it profita ble. The seeding may be done at any time from now on. About 15 pounds of seed to the acre are required. Grim son clover is worth trial, and if you get stand you will be more than pleased with the results.
 There are many combinations that can be made with crimson clover. You can seed one pound of turnip seed and 15 pounds of clover seed, and get some mighty good turnips and bene- fit the crimson clover. A light seed ing of buckwheat or COW peas with the crimson clover will act as a catch crop, furnish hay if you need it and protect the clover. Winter oats, wheat,

rye and barley may also be sowed with the clover and will add to the value of the crop next spring. About 30 pounds of these seed should be broadcasted with the 15 pounds of crimson clover.
 Hundreds of our farmers are mak- ing preparation for trial of alfalfa this fall. Thorough preparation, land free of weeds and grass, well drained soil that has beeen lined, and inocu- lated seed is the only way to give al falfa a fair trial. Hundreds have fail ed in the past because they left out one or all of these essentials for suc- cess with alfalfa. It is great crop and should be tried out fairly. The proper time to seed is after the first good season after about the 1st to 10th of September. If you have to harrow the alfalfa patch over and over again, be sure that the land is in good condition. Write for our bulle- tins on alfalfa, crimson clover, rape and soy beans.
 I have just received three reports of outbreaks of anthrax. One hundred and fifty horses have died in one small community. l want to urge the ina portance of burning the bodies ol all dead animals. You will aid in pre- venting the disease for the next five years. Do not allow grazing where the sick stock has been grazing. Sep arate the well and stick stock.

CHAPTER 23. Then spake Jesus to the multitude and to his disciples. 2. Saying, The scribes and tho Paarisees sit in Moses seat: 5. All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: fo1 they say, and do not.

IS THE PUST.CARD FAD DYING
 OITT!

Evcry once in while one secs a newspaper note to tho effect that the postcard fad is going by. Yet wherever there arc tourists this sum mer, there seems to be the same old tlrong like flies around tn picture card counter
 Probably the use of silly motto cards will prove to be but a passing craze. Even people of superficial ill- telligcnce get tired of reminding their friends by mail to Do it Iow," and other equally sensible cxnortations. some other equally cphcmeral form of exchanging persiflase will bc found. Also many of the cards verge on the coarse and indecent The cX- change of this kind of pleasantry will in time seem tiresome even to dull minds.
 But the picture card illustrating scenery or points of interest is never likely to die out. It has made quito a little saving to the traveller look ing for souvenirs. Formerly you had to buy photographs to illustrate a vacation outing, for about p cents each. The next step was a book of photographic reproductions, that might sell for 25 to 90 cents apiece The postcard craze has enabled peo- pie to carry nome pretty set oi souvenirs of their travels for few nickles.
 1 Also the picture cards appeal to the modern inability to write letters. Nc matter how much the social philoso, pher may deplore it, the epistolarS habit is dying out A friendship cal not be very vital if the only thing to keep it alive is half dozen words of greeting and the exchange O glimpses of summer resort scenery But the picture card habit gives ; ready relief from the labors of thu pen and the writing desk. and a, such it is and will be popular. 1 The postcard message seems lik, a pretty shabby substitute for thu intimate story of life. covering six 0 eight closely written pages, whicl

HANDLING FRUITS AND
 VEGETABLES,

A good deal of skill must be called for in the provision trade, to handle
 fruits and vegetables. These goods
 are of the most transient character all right today, tomorrow unstable The dealer who attempts to work off slightly spoiled material on his cus- toners will lose his trade. The goods keep growing worse. By the time they arc eaten, they are worthless, and the resolution is made not to patrcnize again, the man that sold them.
 Fortunately newspaper advertising furnishes the way by which these products can be quickly turned. The prices of all food products have been high, and people scan the newspapers closely to see who is offering special bargains. A low price, and assurance that the article is in good condition, will bring a swarm of buyers.
 Other kinds of goods can be gar ried over, and the loss will be only partiol. If fruits and vegetables are not sold promptly the loss is com plete. A few dollars spent on adver- Using will save hundreds of dollars of losses.

 They will need foodstuffs and pro- visions. but the risks of supplying
 them will be so great that the pro-

 what the consumer pays. we snail of course suffer least of all the na- tions outside of the war zone, for we can live within ourselves, but we shall suffer some.
 One of the direct benefits to us or this war, if it goes very Tar, Will De the building up of our mcchant ma- rine. The Napoleonic wars gave our merchant marine it's first impetus and Crimean war again helped it. We lost it in our own civil war.

 Perhaps this will be "thc last great war" for it may be that human pas sions and ambitions have changed. It may be that just over the hill lies country of the universal brotherhood of man. It may be that the millcn nium is at hand It may be that aft CT this war is over, when the Slav and the Teuton, the Gaul and the have had their fill of throat-cutting and rapine, the world will be ripe for the universal republic and we shall forget the petty ambi- tions of tho worlds seven thousand years. But in the meantime, if this war goes on tho poor common peo- pie will pay.

PRESS OPINIONS
STAY THE SLAUGHTER.
(New York WOrld)

NANN" IoI IN WI iuJ
 The Safety First Society starts it's educational campaign with a special notice in the newspapers warming motorists to be considerate of life and limb in the streets of the city.
 GO slow around corners and
 when approaching crossings. Go
 slow where traffic is dense and
 where children are playing in
 the streets. Stop behind street
 cars taking on or discharging
 passengers. Use tire chains on
 wet or slippery pavements. "Bet-
 ter be safe thaa sorry it admon-
 ishcs every one who sits behind

 The Society deserves all possible aid from the public. Slaughter in the streets of New York has reached a point where it is no longer to be endured.
 Last week inexperienced girl, driv- ing a car for the first time, seriously injured four people. A chauffeur ran down and killed woman last Sunday. His employers afterwards admitted having noticed for some tune that illS S1Snt ana nearing WeIe failing"
 These are only samples of the scaadalous and criminal license with which vehicles ase destructive as locomotives are driven by incompetent hands through the crowded streets Of New York.
 Any one who witnesses an auto ac- Cideut should send the number of the automobile involved. together with his own address and telephone num- her. to the Safety First Society at No. 501 Fifth avenue.

CHURCHES TO INVADE MEXlCO.

Confident that q new era of prog ress and a better understanding be- tween this country and Mexico is bound to follow the inevitable entry Of the, constitutional army into Mex lei City, five big Protestant dcaom- nations of this country have come to- scther as an evangelical unit which will shortly invade Mexico' with the purpose of evangelizing that coun- try's inhabitants.
 Vt is the first time in the history of denomnational activity in this country that such union for such purpose had been effected. It has been hinted that Joha D. Rockefeller, dr.. has promised special donation to the invasion fund" if the leaders succeed in effecting last agree ment. Bishop Oldham is elated over the progress already made
 "It's a great movement" he said "Thc outcome staggers belief. It gives rich promise of the rapidly ap- preaching day when the divided forces of evangelical Christianity shall federate and cooperate ill such close sympathy as to present practi- cally one front throughout the world"

THE EUROPEAN WAR.

Nc,. even inc Napoleonic wars ap- nroach in magnitude the war lh'' new threatens Europe, for With hhs- land and Franco involved With hus=7 sia, Germany and Austria, 9iup"aros' , of 2o, ,oooooo men will be under afi'' and Europe will be over-ruh w''n troops. With modern methods oi War fare. the waste of life will be lrlght- rul and the cost of war ill mateflai resources will be appalling. Even Il actual hostiities last for only leWs weeks the possibilities of destruction of life and property arc almost beyoad computation. 1t is Tor tn's reason that it seems impossible that inc nations will not halt short or actual warfare.
 If Europe does plunge into gen. eral war it is the common people Who will foot the awful bill. They Will shed the blood. Their widows and orphans will starve after they are gone. Their descendants for genera tions will sweat blood to grind out the taxes to pay for the loans that will be made and for tho tremendous waste of resources.

 William nJ GprmlNV may gratify his ambition to be the war lord; he may lead the hosts oi the fatherland to battle and he may care himself greater name than Frederick left, but the poor, the com mon people of the fatAcrland will pay. Old Franz Josef may not have to bend his naughty neck; he may over-rua with his troops little Serv- ia's territory, and the old emperor may yet see the Austrian eagles triumphant, but the poor. the com men people of Australia will be gen- erations in paying. The little Roman off who perches on the throne of Peter the Great may listen to the cheers of reuaited Russia; his throne may be temporarily stronger and he may realize the Muscovite dream of a panSalvic empire eX- tending from Kamtschatka to Vienna, but the poor, the common people of Russia will pay in blood and tears. French leglols may chant the Mar scllaise on the other side of the Rhine and the tri-color may float over imperial Botsdam, but the poor the common people of France will pay.
 There will be deathless glory and undying fame for few if this war goes on, but there will be untold sui tering for millions, and always il will be the poor, the common people who will pay.
