In California, where dry weather pre-.
walls throughout the summer, the seed
may be sown at any time before the
fall rains begin. In California, also,
and the other Pacific coast states where
bur clover is common, incubation Is
noe necessary for the new crop. In
tho southern and Gulf coast states,
however, incubation Is recommended
except on land that has previously
grown bur clover. Mixing soil from an
old field of bur clover with button clio.
yer seed Is one of the easiest methods
Of securing incubation. Only enough
soil to dust the seed Is necessary. An.
other method is to scatter soil from an
old bur clover field over the area to
be seeded Immediately before sowing.
Sowing seed in the bur also seems ia
insure incubation. II no suitable soil
is available for the purpose, inocula.
ton may be obtained by the use of ar.
tificial cultures.
In comparison with the spotted and
toothed bur clover, button clover pro.
duces a large amount of seed. Tha
harvesting of it is rather difficult, how.
ever, because the hurs fall from the
vines so easily.

tremes of temperature is essential.
The plant Is not adapted to sections
with q winter temperature below IL
degrees Fahrenheit, and 1t does not do
well In extreme heat. In the United
States 1t is believed that 1t will do best
in narrow strip extending along the
entire length of the Pacific coast, in
southwestern Arizona and southern
Nevada, and along the Gulf and Allan
tic coasts as far north as South Caro-
lima. A fairly well-draiiled rich loamy
soil is desirable, but tie crop can be
grown on almost any soil which con-
tains sufficient moisture. Under rather
arid conditions 1t makes fair growth,
but in the dry foothill pastures of Cali
fornia it has done no better than the
common toothed bur clover.
The principal value of the new plant
is for pasturage. In the green state 1t
is readily eaten by live stock and, as
has been said, the absence Of spines in
the burs makes 1t especially desirable
on sheep ranges. This fact has been
recognized for some time in Australia.
In districts which produce an abund-
ance Of spiny bur clovers, 1t has been
found that fieeces often contain as

The end of the second year of the
great war finds the Germans in posses
sion of more of Europe than they held
on August 1, 1915, the first anniversary
of the start of the great conflict.
This is practically the only respect
in which the situation is more favor
able to them. Russia, her vast man
power at last organized and furnished
with implements of destruction in
plenty, is battering the Teuton lines
on the east and has already won back
$500 square miles. Great Britain
boasts five million men in her army
and navy. France fights as strongly as
ever. Italy is increasing her formi-
dableness.
Austria appears to be losing heart
and efficiency. Bulgaria refuses to
send re-enforcements to the west or
Russian fronts. Turkey shows slight
offensive power.
The British navy, following the
much-disputed naval battle of Jutland,
still shuts off Germany from use of
the seas. One German merchant sub
marine has reached America, but the
supplies which can be carried over
to the besieged nations In U-boats will
be of little account.
Germany and Austria both feel the
pinch of hunger. Their armies are
sufficiently fed, but their industrial
workers complain Of lack Of nourish-
ment. The present harvest is watched
with anxiety, and If it fails or Is only
of fair size, famine will stalk into the
situation next spring, or earlier.

Button clover Is a new pasture plant
which specialists in the United States
department. of agriculture are now adj
yocating for use in the milder districts
of the Southwest and along the Gulf.
the South Atlantic and the Pacific
coasts. This plant will succeed, it Is
said, wherever bur clover does well,
and 1t is to be preferred to the latter
in certain respects. Under favorable
conditions it produces more seed and
it has no spines on the pod or bur. For
this reason it is particularly desirable
for ranges where sheep are pastured.
The great loss Of wool occasioned by
the spiny burs of spotted or toothed
bur clover getting into the fleece is
evidence, says Farmers Bulletin 730, a
new publication of the department on
this subject, of the value Of species
with a spineless pod.
Button clover is as yet but little
known in most parts of the United
States. In general appearance and
manner of growth it resembles the
toothed or California bur clover and
the spotted or southern bur clover. The
chief difference between it and these
two species lies in the burs. In the case
of button clover these are large and
spineless, while the burs of the others
are comparatively small and spiny. The
button clover pods ripen in early sum-
mer and drop from the vines. In their
ripened state they are then available
at any time as food for stock.
For the best results with button
clover, a growing period with no ex-

much as % to 30 per cent burs. This
means lower prices for the wool and
extra freight charges. With b4tton
clover this trouble Is of course elimi-
mated.
Button clover also makes good hay.
For this purpose 1t should be cut when
most Of the pods are still green but
well developed, and just before the
leaves begin to fall. If allowed to be-
come more mature, many of the pods,
as well as the leaves, are lost in han.
ding. A supporting crop Of oats or
barley or some other grain should be
sown with the button clover in order
to facilitate cutting There are, how
ever, number Of other legume crops
that are more desirable for hay pro-
duction than button clover, so that its
use for this purpose will no doubt be
very limited. For green manuring the
value of the new plant is about the
same as toothed and spotted bur clO-

lished in pastures, for nothing more is
necessary than to scatter the seed In
the most favorable places. The work
ing of the soil prior to sowing will per-
haps aid in establishing a stand, but
except on good land this will hardly be
profitable. Ordinarily the most profit
able practice Is to sow the seed broad
cast and allow it to compete with other
pasture plants. Where the winters are
mild, the clover should be sown in the
fall and If there are summer rains the
seeding should be done about the first

yesterday at noon As a result seven
saloons of the city closed their doors,
declaring that the high license estab-
lished by the town board is prohibi-

Heretofore licenses have been re-
moved quarterly and were only $500
year for the town. which. with the
county and government licenses to-
tailed close to $1,000 per annum. The
town board increased the town license
from $500 10 $500 annually and stip-
ulated that the payments should be
made semi-annually instead Of quar-
terly This gave the saloon men less
than thirty days to make the scmi-an-
nual payment Of $3.50, and the seven
who went ont OF business either could
not pay the amount or thought the

The ease Of the liquor dealers
