Being Apprehended.

Chief Phil Miller put on his gum
shoes last night and did little sleuth-
| ing in the loop, showing the younger
officers how he was accustomed to turn
the trick when he was travelling a beat
years ago. The result was the arrest
of two men, who are being held await
ing preliminary hearing on a charge
! of larceny.
The chief was aided by Traffic Off
Ger FitzsimmOns, whose attention was
called to two men who were seen to
have two wOmen's clOaks. The chief
and traffic officer gave chase and the
pair were arrested at Sixteenth street
and First avenue. They gave the
names of Joe Brown and Valentino
AmattO, the latter a Mexican.
Subsequent developments disclosed
that one of the cloaks belonged to Mrs.
Max Ochs of Davenport 1t was stolen
from her automobile while it was
standing in front of Hotel Harms. Lat
er the two men confessed, saying that
the other coat was stolen from an au-
tomobile which had been standing in
front OF the Majestic theatre. The
owner of the latter coat has not been
located.
1t was the aim of the police to To-
cate the owner of the coat taken from
IN front of the theatre before giving
the men a preliminary hearing. Both
are from out of town, police say, but
are not desperate characters, being
considered only in the petty thief class.

Button clover is a new pasture plant
which specialists in the United States
department Of agriculture are now ad-
vocating for use in the milder districts
of the Southwest and along the Gulf,
the South Atlantic and the Pacific
coasts. This plant will succeed. 1t Is
said, wherever bur clover does we'll,
and it is to be preferred to the latter
In certain respects. Under favorable
conditions 1t produces more seed and
1t 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 73O,
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.

clover, a growing period with no ex-

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
not necessary for the new crop. In
the 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 clo-
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 to
insure incubation. If no suitable soil
is available for the purpose, inocu1a-
ton may be obtained by the use of ar.
tificial cultures. -.-
In comparison with the spotted and
toothed bur clover, button clover pro.
duces large amount of seed. The
harvesting of it is rather difficult, how.
ever, because the burs fall from thf
vines so easily.

themes of temperature is essential.
The plant is not adapted to sections
with a winter temperature below IL
degrees Fahrenheit, and it does not do
we'll in extreme heat. In the United
States it is believed that it will do best
In a 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 it 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 it 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, it has been
found that fleeces often contain as

SUFFERING BABY
RELIEVED AT ONCE

Mr.. Fl. ]. Lamar, Macon, Ca, writes:
eve used Hancock Sulphur Compound
on our one-year-old baby who was
suffering intensely from prickly heat
and q half dozen applications, in the
course OF 2 days, entirely relieved her.
When we first applied it, she was
broken out almost over her entire
body, causing fretfulness and loss of
sleep, but she has not suffered since.
You should recommend the Sulphur
Compound strongly to mothers as
many children suffer so much from
heat. We also used a tablespoonful
in her bath for days and it proved
very soothing"

much as rs to 80 per cent burs. This
means lower prices for the wool and
extra freight charges. With button
clover this trouble is Of course elimi-
mated.
Button clover also makes good hay.
For this purpose it should be cut when
most Of the pods are still green but
well developed, and just before the
leaves begin to fall. II allowed to be-
come more mature, many of the pods,
as well as the leaves, are lost in ham
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, a number of other legume crops
that are more desirable for hay pro-
duction than button clover, so that it's
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-
yer.
Button clover can be easily estab-
nshed 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 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 1t 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
Of September. Early summer seeding
in the cotton states is not advisable
