SWEET CLOVER FOR PASTURE
Experiments at Iowa Station Show
10 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 &c
valuable as alfalfa pasture. Wher
sown early in the spring, sweet clover
furnishes a fair quality of pasture
the first season.
In fact. Iowa results indicate tina,
it is slightly superior to red clover
The second season, however the swee,
clover tends to become woody, ever
though a hay crop is taken of.

controlled to a considerable extent by

by pasturing or clipping the crop its
growth can be regulated to accord
with the amount of available moisture

With limited amount of stored
moisture 1t is evident the greatest pro-
duction can be obtained by allowing
the crop to grow when the water re-

SETS INSURANCE RATE
INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION FIXES
AMOUNT TO De CHARGED.
Average of S3.46 Per 500 Of Payroll
10 Approved for All MetaiIiferous
Mines in State.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-The state industrial COM
mission notified the private insur-
ance companies that it will approve
premium rate of 1915 per 500 of
payroll for furnishing workmen's
compensation insurance for under
ground employees in metalliferous
mines. and a rate of s239 per 500 of
payroll for insurance of surface
workers of the same class of mines.
The two rates would make an average
rate of S34G, in contrast with $4.lo,
which was first proposed by the com
panies. s3.92 later proposed by them
and So So finally filed by them with
| the commission.
In addition the commission will rule
that % per cent of the rate will be
cut off for employers supplying medi-
cal and hospital service in accord
ance with the law.
The action of the commission in no
tifying the companies that it will ap-
prove an average rate of $346. while
the companies filed one of $3.S5, indi-
Gates that the commission itself will
charge $346 for insurance in the state
fund. This, it is expected, will in
duce the private companies to lower
their rate to meet the one put in
force by the commission.
The committee OF metalliferous
mine employers which considered the
subject for two days with the COM
mission is satisfied with the rate in
dicated by the commission. 1t is not
as low as the mine employers be-
lieve thuy should receive, but they
say they feel that the commission is
acting tonservatively. SO that there
will be no possibility OF insolvency of
the state compensation insurance fund
through an insufficient income be-
cause of too low premium rates.
The ,tion of the commission has
removed the probability that mutual
insurance company will be formed by
the metalliferous employers. A ma
jority of them will now undoubtedly
take out their compensation insurance
with the state fund, according to Fred
Carroll state mining commissioner,
who hea led the committee that met
with the commission.

A practice similar to that suggested

Hip roofs or cottage roofs, as they

ABOUT BAGGAGE.

Portland Telegram: The man who
reads the papers may have noted that
there is a new rule emanating from
the interstate commerce commission
to the effect that there must be a
declaration of the value of interstate
baggage. Perhaps the man who reads
the papers, taken in his entirety, does
not understand just exactly what that
ruling means.
The simple statement that there
must be a declaration of value is un-
derstandable enough, but why the
declaration? What does it signify
in terms Of dollars and cents to the
man who owns the baggage?
Baggage to the value of 500 will
be carried free under the check is
sued, and the railroad will be re-
sponsible in the event Of loss. But
suppose the baggage is really worth
5000, $500 or $1,000, it is not held
to be fair that the railroad should
assume responsibility FOR this greater
loss without some compensation for
the risk: So the rule which requires
declaration of value also provides
for an additional charge of 10 cents
for every 500 in value above that
which goes free under the check. If
the property in ones trunk is worth
$500, it means that the fee for check
ing will be 40 cents, and if it should
be $1,000, then the fee would be 80
cents.
1t is a simple matter OF business
that seems equitable and fair-one
of those just regulations of which no
reasonable person ought to complain.
