time for planting is the late fall
months.

Crimson clover, lime, phosphate, and

to bring Austrians and Turks to meet

1t seems the causu belli with Aus

whether we wish it or no. The me-
righteousness with which our Goven
ment has heretofore regarded sub

us bids fair to be satisfied with the
apparent fact that it was an Aus
