When clover is planted with nurse
crop, il should be remembered the
primary object is to irrigate so as to
obtain a good uniform stand of clover,
whereas the water requirements of the
nurse crop should be of a secondary
consideration. Irrigaung according
to the needs of the wrong crop is one
of the principal causes of obtaining
an unsatisfactory stand.
Immediately after the removal of
the nurse crop, 1t is oftentimes advis-
able to irrigate the clover. In case
the removal of the nurse crop is de-
layed, it would probably be well to
irrigate Immediately after cutting.
This would necessitate letting the ir-
rigation water run under the shocks.
This would cause no damage If the
grain were we'll shocked. The neces-
sity for irrigating at this time is logi-
cal. The clover plants have been used
to the shade afforded them by the
nurse crop, and the sudden change
from this to the intense heat and sun
light, produces a shock that is very
often fatal Then too, the soil at har-
vest is usually dry which. OF course,
is another factor having a very i'm
portant and detracting influence upon
the young clover.
Seed The First Season.
The probability of obtaining a crop
of seed the same season of planting
the clover, is more or less remote Oc-
casionally, this does happen. but II
is exceptional If the clover is plant
ed very early in the spring without
nurse crop, and ideal conditions for
rapid development obtain throughout
the whole season. the grower may be
rewarded with a light crop of seed.
But he should not be disappointed If
he gets no seed.
A very good method OF obtaining
maximum returns from the fields each
season is to proceed as follows: Plant
grain as early in the spring as Jusu-
fable Just as soon as the crop is
harvested the ground should be disk
ed, narrowed and seeded TO clover
The ground should then be irrigated
as fast as the corrugations can be
made. If soil moisture conditions are
kept ideal the growth OF the young
clover should be far enough advanced

sowing broadcast is recommended.
Care must be taken, however. to avoid
trying to SOW when a stiff wind is
blowing for under this condition, a
uniform spread Of seed cannot be
made
The best average rate OF seeding
would be about as follows: Red, 10 to
y lbs. alsike, to Z, and white, to
lbs.
After being sowed broadcast the
seed should be narrowed in lightly so
as to be covered not to exceed IL
inches deep. After narrowing, the
ground should be corrugated or fur
rowed for future irrigations. Seeding
in this locality, may be safely done
from early spring TO the latter part of
August.
Seeding With Nurse Crop.
Excellent stands Of clover have
been secured both with and without
nurse crops. Some growers argue in
favor OF the nurse crop, while others
do not want it at all One thing in
its favor is the fact that the use of
the ground is not entirely lost while
the young clover is establishing itself
the first season. One point against it,
! however, is that oftentimes the grow
er makes the mistake of irrigating
according to the needs OF the nurse
crop to the neglect of his young and
perhaps thirsty" clover.
! OF the grains, wheat and barley per-
i haps make the best nurse crops. Oats
are inclined to shade the ground toe
much for the young clover to make q
good growth.
From 60 to 20 pounds per acre
would he about the proper amount OF
grain to SOW when using it as a
nurse crop.
Peas make an excellent nurse crop
especially for white clover. Sow from
40 to 120 pounds per acre.

the drainage of the soil is good. The
writer has had very good success by
employing the above me hod and has

Handling For Seed the Second Year.

The common practice is TO irrigate

days before cutting the first crop for
hay This is usually cut a little ear

starting in good The next irrigation
would probably be given as early to

Sometimes a fourth irrigation is Civ

of supplying sufficient moisture to fill
the seeds and to make them plump

Some growers say positively. do

iod" Based upon conclusions drawn
from the census made among the
growers upon this tract. it seems to
the writer that this would be more
adaptable if stated as follows: do
not irrigate after the blooming period
unless the soil is dried out and the
crops need the moisture to fill the
seed" Certainly a fair amount of
moisture must exist in the soil during
the usually hot and dry filling period
If the ground is dried out very much
the development of the seeds is pre-
mature. The result is a light, imper-
fectly filled seed.

The usual practice is not to cut a
hay crop. When badly infested with
weeds and when the growth Of the
clover is not too far advanced. it
might be advisable to clip. This would
destroy a great many weeds, but in
the opinions of some growers, this
would not be a benefit to the alsike

HOW TO MARK FISH SPOTS

It is necessary for the successful
fisherman to mark the good fishing
spots, and 1t Is a simple matter. &C
cording to the New York Sun.
The first thing that civil engineer
Is taught is to tie his survey to some
thing permanent. OF what use would

II you are fishing In body Of wa

comes necessary to look In four direc-
uons-flrst north, and then take some
object due north Of your fishing spot
and remember 1t, such as big tree,
somestack, or building.
Then look due east and fix upon an
other object, and your good fishing
spot will be at the intersection of
imaginary lines drawn from both those
points.
II you desire to be doubly sure you
can site on objects due south and west,
but any two objects 90 degrees apart

model husband and parent. There
were many who believed In his skill
as a seer, and they told of numerous
prophecies which had been fulfilled
to the letter.
When the police knocked at-his door
he met them with a smiling face. They
explained their errand. which was to
search the premises, and he seemed
amused The officers searched every
inch Of the house, and found several
garments Of Catherine Seidel's, tOgeth-
er with a vast array of feminine wear
Ing apparel which evidently didn't be-
long to his wife. He had a story to
explain the presence Of GATHERINGS
clothing. He said he didn't know who
the girl was. She came to his house
to have her fortune told, and there met
another client. also q stranger. She
asked to leave her bag there a while,
and went away with the stranger, and
that was the last he ever saw Of her.
1t was true that he appropriated her
goods, but was prepared to pay for
them. He had given up expectation
Of the owner ever claiming them.
The story was a little thin, as was
also his explanation of the great guam
tity Of women's clothing in the place,
but the police were at a standstill.
There was no evidence whatever that
anything had happened to the girl
there. and they felt that they were
baffled again.
Just then along came Sergeant
Schneider with his trained dog. The
sergeants dog was the joke Of the
police department. He had used all
his spare time for a year training it.
and was forever talking about it. No
body had any faith In the animal, and
the officers laughed when they saw
him coming. The dog was turned
loose in the house. and 1T shifted
around awhile and then ran baying
to little wOodshed In the rear of the
house. Then Gertrude noticed that
the fortune-teller had turned pale as
death, and his brow was wet with
sweat.
'Follow the dog!" she cried. and
the officers did so. They let the dog
into the shed, and the animal at once
The Dolores star., 1916-08-04

began scratching the dirt up in clod.
Schneider got spade, and dug down,
and soon found human bones. Then
the dog ran to a pile of logs and began
digging again, and the officers removed
that pile in hurry, and, after using
the spade few minutes, produced the
body of woman. This was Gather
inc Seidel, Identification being made
certain by the presence of her pinch
beck earrings, which were recognized
at once by Gertrude.
Later the first body was Identified
as that of Barbara Reisinger, a girl
who had disappeared mysteriously the
previous year. Then the townsmen
began to talk Of other girls who had
vanished in recent years without leav-
Ing trace behind them, and, although
nothing definite was ever proved, 1t
was considered a certainty that the
fortune-teller could have told what
became Of them.
Bichel's nerve gave way entirely
when he was Jailed, and he confessed
to the murder of Catherine Seidel and
Barbara Reisinger. In each case the
girls were passing his house when he
invited them In to have their fortune
told. He placed his magic mirror be-
fore them, and then blindfolded them,
saying that when he removed the ban
dage they would see their future in the
mirror. And while they were thus
blindfolded and helpless he stabbed
them in the neck. and, after despoiling
them Of their belongings, buried the
bodies.
The public indignation was so great
that Bichel had to be strongly guard
ed throughout his trial. Had the peo-
pie been able to get their hands on
him they would have saved the exc
cutioner some trouble. The wretched
criminal was sentenced to be broken
on the wheel and beheaded, but the
first part Of the punishment was re-
mitted.
Gertrude went back to her milkpans
and her chickens mourning her muir
dered sister, but finding some comfort
in the reflection that she had unrav-
eled a mystery which had puzzled all
the great detectives of the time.

went by, and her relatives on the
farm, having heard nothing of her, no.
tilted the police, and the officers made
q diligent and prolonged effort to find
some trace of her, but in vain. 1t was
the most complete mystery they ever
encountered. All they could discover
was that the girl reached the town
safely. There was not shadow of
clue as to what became Of her af-
forwards. The mystery attracted gen.
eral attention, and expert policemen
of various cities evolved theories
which came to nothing when tested.
Catherine had younger sister who
remained on the farm. This sister,
Gertrude, when the best efforts of the
police had failed, also packed her car
pet bag and went to Regendorf, saying
she would learn the truth concerning
her sisters fate If it took her whole
lifetime. For long time this girl was
familiar figure in the town, as she
pursued her strange errand. She Ques-
toned everybody, she invaded peo-
pies houses, she became nuisance to
the police and the authorities, and the
mayor repeatedly pointed out the use
lessness of her course, and urged her
to 60 back home.
But Gertrude was inexorable. One
day she went into tailor's shop, and
began asking her interminable ques-
tiOns. The tailor answered her impa-
tiently, for his mind was on q fancy
vest he was making, and he didn't
want to be interrupted. He was sur
prised and indignant when the girl
snatched the garment out of his hands.
She took it to the light and examined
it closely.
"Where did you get this materially"
she inquired.
From the man who ordered the
vest made" replied the tailor.
"What is this nameT
ANDREW Bichel, the fortune-teller."
A policeman happened to come along
Just then, and Gertrude called him in
to the shop.
"At last" said Gertrude, 1--WE are ap-
preaching the truth. This dimity is
part of a dress Catherine took with her
when she left home, and it was brought
here by Andrew Bichel."
The policeman realized the fmpor-
lance of the clue. Taking the vest
with him, he escorted Gertrude to
headquarters. Then she accompanied
the policeman and several Of his fell
lows to the home Of Andrew Bichel.
This man had lived in the town
long time and was generally respected.

who lived on a farm not far from
Regendorf. Bavaria, made up her mind
that the advantages Of the rural life
were greatly overestimated. She was
tired Of milking cows, and churning,
and washing dishes, and all the rest
Of the household chores. Being an
extremely pretty girl. she had the idea
that her opportunity for a brilliant ca
reer could be found in town, rather
than in the country; SO one day she
packed her carpet bag with her best
belonging. put on a beautiful dress,
and went to Regendorf, full of rosy
dreams.
She reached the town all right,
