GOOD GREEN MANURING CROP
Bio Value of Sweet Glover Is to Turn
Under to Improve Soil-Folia9e
Has Bitter Taste.

iBy C. B. HUTCHISON, Missouri COL
lege Of Agricultural
The chief value Of sweet clover tor
Missouri conditions is as q green ma
nuring crop. Being legume, 1t has
the power of gathering nitrogen out OF
the air and storing it in the soil by
means of the bacteria which live upon
dts roots. Since it makes such heavy
growth and does well on thin lands, 1t
makes q good crop to turn under to I'M
prove the soil.
The value Of sweet clover as pas
ture or hay crop is much disputed.
Some farmers regard it as practically
worthless and consider it weed, While
others apparently have had good sue
cess with feeding it. Its foliage has
bitter taste due to the cumarln it con-
tains and it's stems have a tendency to
become woody as they mature. II not
allowed to become too rank before pas
turing, or If cut for hay before the tlrst
bloom buds appear, these two objec-
tionable features may be avoided to q
considerable extent and very good feed
obtained. 1t has been found, too, that
stock will learn to eat it, and after De-
ing fed or pastured on it do not object
to the bitter taste, as at first. Since
it is biennial, sweet clover may take
the place of red clover in the rotation
on those lands where the latter does
not thrive WELL but on the best lands
it cannot compete with either red clo-
yer or alfalfa for hay.
The fact that the bacteria in the
nodules on it's roots are capable Of In
oculating alfalfa has led to the idea
that 1t is valuable crop to occupy the
land Immediately before seeding al
falfa. This may sometimes be done,
but usually lands that have never
grown sweet clover need incubation
for it as well as for alfalfa. 1t has
been found necessary to inoculate the
soil on the experiment station field at
Columbia for sweet clover, and even
with this precaution considerable diff
Guilty has been experienced in getting
q stand. 1t is evident, then, that it is
frequently more difficult to obtain a
good stand that one might expect from
q general survey of the habits and
characteristic Of the plant.

Of Negro Who Attacked Woman.

Lima, o., Aug. 31.-Enraged at the
success Of Sheriff John Eley in spirit
ing Charles Daniel, a negro, accused
OF assaulting Mrs. John Barber young
wife Of prominent farmer, out of
their reacn last evening, q mob cap
tured the sheriff, seriously wounded
him, placed moose around his neck
and forced him to direct cortege OF
JOS automobiles into the rough coun.
try sorth of this city, where 1t is sup
posed the negro prisoner has been
hidden.
The mob formed around the Lima
jail before dusk and leaders demanded
admittance. Chief Of Police Kinney
called out his entire force, but the Off
GERS were overpowered in inand-to-
hand fight, though the mob was arm
ed. It was announced that the negro
had been taken by Sheriff Eley to the
Lima state hospital for the criminal
Insane and that the Jail was guarded
By but one deputy and the sheriff's
wife. Refusing to accept tae an
nouncement, the mob forced Mrs
Eley to open the cells. Sheriff Eley
was met by the mob at the city limits
The sheriff reached his residence and
refused to give up the negro. He wal
battered and kicked by the mob, two
OF his ribs being broken.
Mrs. Barber was slasned with 9

posse of 200 men with bloodhound,
caught the negro Daniels in a woods
in the same township early in the day
and turned him over to the officers.
Sheriff Eley was found in the Elks
home. He was taken to the principa
street corner by 1000 blood-crazeC
men. A rope was placed around hi
neck and thrown over street rail
way pole. The mob threatened t.
hang Eley unless he revealed the hid
ing place of the negro, Daniels. Th,
mob cut the trolley rope from an inter
urban car and knotted It about Eley'
neck. The police were powerless
Chief Mckinney called on all citizen
to join his forces, but no one re
sponded.
With his clothes torn off and bloot
streaming from a dozen cuts, Sheriff
Eley finally yielded to the mob, an,
left town, presumably to take the mel
to the hiding place of the negro.

Swami and his assistant James E.
Smith, $500 women have been releas,
ed from bondage. Their freedom is a
consequence of the flight of more than
500 men. The backbone of the system
Of ,trafficking in women has been
broken by the revelations OF the last
few weeks. Practically every woman
who mas resented the sharing of sin
wages has carried her story to the
district attorneys office. At the pres
ent time the foundation is laid for the
Indictment of at least fifty OF these
parasites upon women. From the ma
terial now in hand it Is known that
these men have operated in groups,
that in one instance as many as thir-
ty men who lived on women's street

and for purchasing police immunity.

there is large station in Mt Vernon

OF course there would be shortage

feeding being about six in the morn ing. If baby fusses in between lit tie boiled water cooled with a little su- gar in it will satisfy him until his next feeding time.
 I have a regular hour for bathing baby and put him to bed at reg ular hour Regularity means a heal thy baby, and good baby and that means a great deal to a busy mother.
 Don't pick him up if he cries. he is merely exercising and far from doing him any harm it will strengthen the little fellow. However. a little holding is necessary, but hold him when you want to, not when his lordship de- mands it.
 Training means so much, not only for baby, but mother, too. l wish l could make mothers realize this. Think of it, no collie, my babies never had 1t; no wakeful nights with an over led hoWing infant. Wouldn't that be worth little effort and training? It is really very simple. Just a little common sense, little forethought and you will realize baby must be health fer if he is treated the best way science and doctors can devise.
 And just a word about feeding the older baby. The little ''trot-about" in
 his dread second summer. Be careful what you feed him, not only the kind
 but the quality. Don't be surprised if baby has severe GiarrhOea, if you feed him ice cream cones, overripe fruit and l unclean fy-SpeCked food from the dir ty counters of cheap grocery stores.
 Pure food, clean food and the right kind are necessary for baby's health. Weeping over your failing child will be far less effectual than exacting care when he is well.
 Simple food, exquisite cleanliness, 1 both in your home and for your fam fly will mean more chance for your 1 child if the dread infantiIe paralysis l comes to Norwich. Infantile paralysis | seems to abound more in the dirty sec 1 tions than other places, so in care, at i least take the precaution of cleanli- ness, and then if it comes to Us in i will know we did our best at any rate l and there will be no vain regrets to ! haunt us.
 l Sincerely yours,
