Clover without Chemicals.

One of the best, if not the best
pieces of clover in this county can
be seen on the farm of George NJ
Gray on the main road between here
and Passumpsic. 1t is ready to har-
vest as soon as weather permits and
is a sight that would satisfy any good
farmer. Mr.. Gray says not a pound of
chemicals was used on the ground and
the broad acres of heavy clover is one
of the best demonstrations we have
seen of what good farming on good
ground will produce. Any farmer in
terested in increasing his production
of forage will do well to see this fine
field on Mr.. Gray's farm.

KILLS PARTNER WHOM
 HE MISTOOK FOR MOOSE

ATLIN, B. C., March 15.-Charles Petit, who has been trapping on Hitchcock mountain, twenty-five miles north of this place, reached town last night and gave himself up to the authorities, stating that he had kill ed his partner Alex Swanson, having mistaken him for a moose.
 In telling of the accident, Petit said that they had established a camp and he had made trip which had taken two weeks. He was returning to the camp, and had reached a point about mile and one-half away, when he heard a commotion in a clump of bushes about fifty feet from him. He thought that it must be a moose, not having the faintest idea that Swan son would be that far from camp and without Investigating any farther, fired point blank into the rustling brush. When he investigated the spot, he found that he had killed his partner.-Skagway Alaskan.
