of the land for the season is not en. tirely lost.
 If nurse crop is sowed in the fall the clover may be broadcasted on the meadow the following February or early in March on a frosty morning when the ground is nicely honey | combed" with frost With the soil in this condition, the clover seed lodges In small cracks or crevices and Is GOV cred when the ground thaws. The usual rate of seeding the clover at this time is about six or eight pounds Some prefer to drill the clover seed with disk drill, crossing the rows of wheat or rye at right angles. The seed should be run into the main hoes of the drill, so it will be covered. Run the disks shallow and the wheat or timothy plants will not be disturbed to any great extent.
 Another method which is preferred by some is to SOW the clover and tim | othy on the wheat after the ground is dry enough to work and cover by a light narrowing.
 llmotny ana clover may also be sowed alone in the spring, but if the land is foul with weeds, light seed. ing of grain, to be cut for hay when it is in the soft dough or milk stage, will help to keep the weeds under con. trol.
 These suggestions are more fully discussed in Circular 6S of the Mis- souri agricultural experiment station at Columbia. The circular is entitled The Seeding Of Meadows and Pas. | tures"

Compass That Indicates Time.

By a slight modification In the or dinary pocket compass it has been transformed into a very practical time piece for indicating the hour by the shadow of the sun. In addition to the usual points" there is a graduated hour scale with the two twelves at the north and south. The crystal by which the magnetic needle is protected has a line etched across it through the cen ter and it is mounted in a bezel which permits of the glass being rotatably moved Knowing the variation of the compass. an adjustment of the glass is made to overcome it. the etched line forming an angle with the north and south line corresponding with the variation, the instrument being held horizontally and the etched line be- ing directed against the sun. the point of which overhangs the graduated hour scale

from live stock the ten farms show d ten per cent more income from each animal than the average. The crops were better, especially potatoes. the most important crop, which went 122 bushels to the acre, against an average yield of 99 bushels. The farm business was so arranged on these ten good farms that every man and every horse was able to cover from ten to twenty per cent more ground than the aver. age.
 AS result of these methods the ten farms mentioned showed an average labor income of nearly $1,40O, while the average man in the locality had a labor income of only S414. This is all the more striking when one considers that a mans labor income is not mere ly what he makes above expenses. but in what is left as pay for his years time over interest on his investment. which, in the case of the larger farms or the ten men mentioned, would be a heavier charge than the average.

IMPORT SHIRTS FROM JAPAN
Japanese Salesman Takes Orders In United States and Goods Are
 Made Up In Orient.

A Japanese salesman is making the rounds of New York city soliciting or ders for shirts. He carries a line of samples, takes measurements, writes orders. directions, etc, and the maids in factory somewhere in Japan make up the goods. The finished shirts cross the Pacific and are carried on the transcontinental railroads to the buyer.
 The Japanese are pushing the busi- ness rapidly, and inasmuch as the tariff law cut the duty on these goods 40 per cent, our Asiatic competitors see great possibilities in this method of getting into the American market, as the wages paid in Japan are about one-twelfth those paid in the United States. declares the Albany (N. Y.) Journal.
 This salesman Is a pioneer in what may become a widely ramiiied busi- ness under tho noses of American manufacturers. He pays no rent or taxes Every shirt coming into this country in this manner displaces and prevents the sale of shirt made in America and displaces just so much American labor And without tariff safeguards this trade with Japan is bound to develop to the detriment of all concerned in the industry here.

TRAGIC END OF CAMP JOKE
Soldier Who Thought He Had Been Forgotten Became Victim of Com
 rade's Pleasantly.

It is hard to account for the whims of a fever patient, and perhaps sick soldiers fall into fits of even deeper depression than ordinary people at any rate, it looks as if a Second in- fantryman killed himself one night be- cause he had not received a letter he was expecting. With the great crush of work in camp and the sudden strain upon the little post office, it is no won der that hundreds of letters for the soldiers lay undelivered for days; no wonder that thw particular letter was lost in the number. But the sick in- fantryman could not understand.
 Has my letter come?" he asked day after day, and the nurses shook their heads. There was no letter.
 Finally he was well enough to leave the hospital, but still he brooded over the letter.
 Any letter for me-" he would ask morning and evening, until it became a joke among his comrades. And one of them, in spirit of cheap fun, wrote a letter to the man, kind of mock loye letter, and signed a girls name to it. Then, when the infantryman tore open and read it eagerly, the others laughed boisterously at his disappoint- ment.
 That night the fever came on again and there was a queer look in the mans eyes.
 Whats the matter, George?" said sergeant. What have you got your gun there for?" The infantryman lay stretched on his bunk, with his rife clasped in his arms, the muzzle against his cheek.
 T guess it's my gun, aint it?" he replied. T guess 1 can do what l please with it."
 And what he pleased to do with it was to blow his brains out just as the day was breaking. The letter he had waited for turned up a week later, postmarked month before. The writ ing was in woman's hand-Cleveland Moffet in Leslie's Weekly.

They Find Vap-O O-Rub Better Than In- ternal Medicines for Group and
 Cold Troubles.

Mrs. J. s. Pugh, 510 Market St.. and Mrs Mary Bolton, 105 Ravine St., both Of Fulton. Mo, have found, in common with many other Missouri mothers. that 1t is no longer necessary to dose children with internal medi- cines for cold troubles. In the South Vick's VapO-Rub is the standard remedy for these troubles, but it was only last winter that 1t was introduced here. O Vap-O-Rub was discovered by a North Carolina druggist. He found how to combine Menthol and Camphor with the volatile oils of Thyme, Euca- lyptus, Cubebs and Juniper, in salve form. so that when applied to the body. the ingredients are vaporized by the body heat.

 Our recent dry seasons have discour- aged many who had difficulty in get, ting stands of clover, but if proper methods of seeding are used there should be little difficulty on most of the farms in this section. If it were possible to predict very dry year at sowing time, it would be better not to use any nurse crop which takes up the moisture needed by the clover, but as this cannot be predicted, it is bet ter to have thin stand of some nurse crop which will keep down the weeds without taking too much moisture from the clover or shading it too much.
 stand of clover is dependent upon many factors, such as weather condi- tions, soil, quality of the seed, and weeds. If a nurse crop is used, rye, wheat and oats are usually ranked for their efficiency as nurse crops in the order given, but farmers reverse this order because they would rather have oats and wheat in their bins. The nurse crop, of course, does not direct ly aid the clover, but is used to keep down the growth of wild grasses and weeds which tend to crowd out and destroy the young plants. In many cases where weeds do not bother, the clover will often make better growth alone than where it must compete with the grain crop. On thin lands and dry seasons a nurse crop is gen. erally disadvantage, but under favor able conditions stand can usually be secured with a nurse crop and the use

 With each new era visited or old area revisited by men doing the farm management demonstration work it becomes more and more apparent that q good size of business, good yields from crops and from live stock and a proper diversification of the farm business are all essential to success in farming. A recent demonstration shows this in striking fashion.
 The most profitable ten farms in a certain locality were compared with the average of some 60 farms visited and in all respects mentioned were found to be better than the average. In the matter of size, whether consid- ering total acreage, acreage in crops or acreage in potatoes, these ten farms averaged 50 per cent larger than the average of the locality. In returns

it is vital that definite statement Of
military policy for the United States
be put through at this session and that
machinery be created for the organiza-
tion Of a citizen army, volunteers to
begin with, but based ultimately on
universal military service.
1t was learned authoritatively that
the administration continental army
plan is designed to operate with either
the volunteer or the universal service
system.
It is known that the continental
army plan is regarded in its present
form by its trainers as preparatory
measure, paving the way to decision
by the people at large for or against
universal military service. In deter
mining his plan, Secretary Garrison ID
