SWEET CLOVER FOR PASTURE
Experiments at Iowa Station Show II
Is Not as Valuable as Alfalfa
Better Than Red Variety.

Several years experimenting at the
Iowa station indicates that, while
sweet clover has much the same value
for hogs as red clover, it is not so
valuable as alfalfa pasture. When
sown early in the spring. sweet clover
furnishes a fair quality of pasture
the first season.
In fact, Iowa results indicate that
it is slightly superior to red clover.
The second season, however, the sweet
clover tends to become woody, even
though a hay crop is taken of
Sweet clover is worth a trial for
hos pasture. but in view of the pres
ent high price of seed, and the SUI
periority of alfalfa, we generally ad-
wise alfalfa.

certainly would do, it would end his
questioning and his anguish of diem

would, after all, be Sinking the issue.
He must get out of Hixon and into

life was the wearing Of a closely
cropped mustache. That he still wore

to hear Adrienne's humorous denuncia.
ton of it. He knew that, in his pres
ent guise and dress, he had an excel
lent chance of walking through the
streets of Hixon as stranger. And,
after leaving Hixon, there was a mis-
sion to be performed at Jesse Purvy's
store. AS he thought of that mission
a grim CLINT came to his pupils.
All journeys end, and as Samson
passed through the tawdry cars of the
local train near Hixon he saw several
faces which he recognized. but they
either eyed him in 'inexpressive silence
or gave him the greeting of the "fur-
riner."
AS Samson crossed the toll bridge
to the town proper he passed two
brown-shirted militiamen. lounging on
the rail of the middle span. They
grinned at him, and, recognizing the
outsider from his clothes. one of them
commented:
"Ain't this the hell of a town."
ITS going to be-" replied Samson,
systematically, as he went on.
Still unrecognized, he hired horse
at the livery stable, and for two hours
rode in silence, save for the easy
creaking of his stirrup feathers and
the soft thud of hoofs.
The silence soothed him. The brood
ing hills lulled his spirit as a grooming
song lulls fretful child Mile after
mile unrolled forgotten vistas. Some
thing deep in himself murmured:
"Homei"
II was late afternoon when he saw
ahead of him the orchard of Puryy's
place, and read on the store wall, a
little more weather stained, but other
wise unchanged:
Jesse Puryy, General Merchandise. "
The porch of the store was empty,
and as Samson flung himself from his
saddle there was no one to greet him.
This was surprising, since, ordinarily,
two or three of Purvy's personal
guardsmen loafed at the front to watch
the road. Just now the guard should
logically be doubled. Samson still
wore his eastern clothes-for he want
ed to go through that door unknown.

pitch which Wilfred had once before
heard. His eyes were as clear and
hard as transparent flint.

For an instant Samson forgot his
four years of veneer. The century Of
prenatal barbarism broke out fiercely.
He was seeing things far away-and
forgetting things near by. His eyes
blazed and his fingers twitched.
Hell, MOI" he exclaimed. "The
wars on, and my hands are freed!"
For an instant, as no one spoke, he
stood breathing heavily, then, wheel
ing, rushed toward the house as
though just across it's threshold lay
the fight into which he was aching
to hurl himself.

these things, the young man stood for
a moment looking about at the after

Yet Samson had not come to the
stronghold of his enemy for the pur-
pose of assassination. There had been
another object in his mind-an utterly
mad idea, 1t is true, yet so bold Of
conception that it held ghost Of
promise. He had meant to go into
Jesse Purvy's store and chat artlessly,
like some inquisitive "furriner." He
would ask questions which by their
very impertinence might be forgiven
on the score of strangers folly. But,
most of all, he wanted to drop the cas-
ual information, which he should as

Birds Fly From Battle.

One of the war correspondents has
noted the complete absence Of birds
from the battlefields of northern
France and the consequent profusion
of spiders and other cognate crawling
things. Birds always desert scenes of
heavy gunfire; and, what is more. they
often do not return for many years.
All birds left the theater of war In
South Africa. and 1t is only movie
years later-that they are returning
Meanwhile South Africa has suffered
from vexatious plague Of ground In

that they merely retired to some re-

threw open an old closet where, from
Uttered pile of discarded background

fished out buried and dust-covered

lain there forgotten, but they held the

bound express on the schedule. In
thirty-six hours he would be at Hixon.
There were many things which his
brain must attack and digest in these
hours. He must arrange his plan of
action to its minutest detail, because
he would have as little time for reflec-
ton, once he had reached his own
country, as a wildcat flung into pack
of hounds.
From the railroad station to his
home he must make his way-most
probably fight his way--through thirty
miles of hostile, territory, where all
the trails were watched And yet, for
the time, all that seemed too remotely
unreal to hold his thoughts.
He took out Sally's letter, and read
it once more. He read it mechanically
and as piece of news that had
brought evil tidings. Then, suddenly,
another aspect of 1t struck him-an as
pect to which the shock of its recep-
tion had until this tardy moment
blinded him. The letter was perfectly
grammatical and penned in hand Of
copybook roundness and evenness.
The address, the body of the missive
and the signature were all in one CHI
