SWEET CLOVER CROP
ASSISTS Fertility
Yields Larger Amount of Hay and
Improves Condition of Soil
Aid to Drainage.

Besides yielding larger crop of
hay than other legumes, sweet clover
improves the condition of the soil and
increases its fertility. For these rea-
sons it may become valuable acQuisi-
ton.
Observations made by the Ohio ex-
pertinent station show that the main
roots Of this crop often extend nearly
three feet below the surface, thus
breaking up the soil and aiding in
drainage, especially o. heavy clay
soils. These studies indicate that
more Of this crop thai ordinary red
clover lived through the drought OF
1916.
Large amounts of organic matter
may be added If sweet clover is plow-
ed down even eight months after seed
ing. Because it is leguminous crop.
a store Of nitrogen may also be added
when It is given . place IN thu cr1p-
sing system.

you, and that's the truth. And it ISM
only that. Everywhere I go, people
say, There's the fellow Sidney Page
turned down when she went into the
hospital I've got so I keep off the
Street as much as 1 can"
Sidney was half alarmed, half irri
tated. This wild, excited boy was moi
the doggedly faithful youth she had
always known. 1t seemed to her that
underneath his quiet manner and care
fully-repressed voice there luz ed
something irrational, something she
could not cope with. She looked up al
him helplessly.
"But what do you want me to dol

absolutely"
Because you love the hospital, OF
because you love somebody connected
with the hospital?"
Sidney was thoroughly angry by this
time, angry and reckless. She had
come through so much that every
nerve was crying in passionate pro-
test
eff it will make you understand
things any better" she cried, II am
going back for both reasons ="
She was sorry the next moment. But
her words seemed, surprisingly enough,
to steady him. For the first time, he
sat down.
"Then, as far as I am concerned,
it's all over, is it?"
"Yes, Joe. I told you that long
ago."
He seemed hardly to be listening.
His thoughts had ranged far ahead.
Suddenly
"YOu think Christine has her hands
full with Palmer, don't you? Well, if
you take Max Wilson, you're going to
have more trouble than Christine ever
dreamed of. can tell you some things
about him now that will make you
think twice."
But Sidney had reached her limit.
She went over and flung open the
door.
Every word that you say shows me
how right I am in not marrying you,
joe" she said. "Real men do not
say those things about each other I'M
der any circumstances. You're be-
having like a bad boy. I don't want
you to come back until you have
grown up
He was very white, but he picked
up his hat and went to the door.
II guess 1 am crazy" he said. ''I've
been wanting to go away, but mother
raises such fuss-Tll not annoy you
any more"
He left her standing there and ran
down the stairs and out into the
street. At the foot of the steps he
almost collided with Doctor Ed.
Back to see Sidney?" said Doctor
Ed genially. 'That's fine, Joe. I'm
glad you've made it up"
The boy went blindly down the
street.

cold weather, requiring that silage be
removed from the surface to a great
er depth each day in order to keep 1t
fresh. 1t has been noticed that air
penetrates into loose, dry silage far
ther than 1t does into that which is
moist and compact.
Thus it is seen that under some
circumstances an inch might be suffi-
Gent, but in order to have fresh sill
age under all circumstances the siio
| should be Of such size that approx
mately two inches will be fed from the
surface each day.
Material for Foundation.
The foundation of any permanent
building should be constructed oftiura-
bic material, should be of sufficient
size to carry the weight of the
building and should extend below the
frost line.
The merits of stone and concrete
for foundation are so well and IA
vorably known that no general dis
cussion of these materials is deemed
necessary. Cement mortar rather
than lime mortar should be used in
laying up all stone foundations.
In extending a part of the silo be-
low the surface, the soil should not
be used as part of the form. The
concrete should be durable and eco
nomical, should contain only clean and
durable stone, gravel and sand. Brick
foundations should only be hard
burned brick laid in cement mortar,
and when so built are considered sat
isfactory.
The weight on the foundation is
practically only that of the wall and
roof. For a concrete silo under 30
feet in height the width of footing need
not be over twice or three times as
wide as the thickness of the wall for
any kind of soil except soft clay or
quicksand.
The heaving action of frost is due
entirely to the moisture contained in
the soil, which expands with an al
most irresistible force upon freezing.
For these considerations, unless the
foundation lies in dry, well-drained
soil, drain tile should be used to
remove the ground water.
Concrete Floor.
A silo floor need not be thick or ex-
pensive, as the weight of the silage,
though very great is distributed even
ly over the surface and would be just
as firmly supported if the floor were
not used.
A door for filling, large enough to
admit the carrier or elevator from
the ensilage-cutter, should be placed
in the roof. A simple trapdoor may
be used for this purpose but dormer
window with glass is preferable.
Some light should be admitted to the
silo for if not it will be necessary to
use a lantern when removing the
silage.
A silo door should form an alright
joint with it's frame and be flush or
smooth on the inside. In addition, it
should be convenient for the removal
of silage and of size to permit any
person to enter the silo.
Most patent silos are now provided
with continuous doors which are only
INSTRUCTED by the hoops or bars ex-
tending from side to side. Often
these connections or hoops are so
close together that the so-called con-
tinuous door is of little advantage
over doors of larger size placed in the
silo wall at intervals above one an
other.

quoted at a slight premium over the yell
low and mixed, No. white being quoted
from s5% to ssAc; No. . yellow sold at

at the some prices as did the yellow.
The run of oats was not very good today,
as 1t was, II was sufficient to take care of
the local demand, which was very quiet,
with prices quoted fraction over yester-
days market.
There was a pretty active trade in rye
at unchanged prices and barley was also
active with very little change in price.

Freight Traffic and bear Crop News. Z
Chicago, Feb 1s.--Wheat jumped up to-

TO cotton and that the Netherlands govern
nfent had been successful in solving dill
ficulties which had brought 70 standstiil
ail Dutch traffic with the United States
The market closed strong l&@ahc net

md oats 1c to ~ @iMc. In the provisions
the outcome was the same as yesterdays
finish to ioc lower,
Before the wheat market began TO bulge
prices had undergone serious fresh declines
owing 10 extensions OF the ticup OF railway
freight and because OF the continued pros-
pect OF q complete rupture with Germany. II
was not until persistent selling had carried
prices down &c or more that the market
began to recover, Reports that the drouth
in Oklahoma had been thoroughly broken
counted to some extent In giving the bears
the initial advantage. As soon however, as
Indications seemed to point to definite re-
lief in the export outlook sentiment ap-
peared to undergo radical change. Word
from New York that Great Britain would
curtail imports of cotton and would use
for grain and munitions the vessel roam
thus made available was followed soon by
announcement that the Netherlands had ar
ranged to open bids for -four on February IL.
Nearly &c advance from the lowest price
Of the day In wheat took place before the
session ended. A portion Of the strength
which developed during the late trading
was generally ascribed to reports that the
British government was asking for offers
on about 1850. 600 bushels Of wheat on the
Pacific coast. IL was said also that soine
spectators were able to anticipate the ac-
tlon OF railway officials looking 10 an out
let for eastbound daily trainioads Of grain
and -four to meet derneatic requirements on
the Atlantic seaboafd. knowledge OF un-
precedented measures to clear up railway
congestion was not general. though, until
after the wheat market had closed.
Corn derived strength from wheat. Mild
weather that promised to lesson feeding de-
mand was a bearish element but failed to
have lasting effect on prices. Oats showed
independent hrmness owing chiefly 10 as
sertions that the United States goyernmen,
had purchased 100000 bushels for ship
ment ID Fl Paso.
Provisions averaged lower. Weakness in
tbs hog market was largely responsible and
