Ing the greatest efficiency.
"Action Of the draft horse should
be clean, bold, and rather stylish" said
Mr.. Gray. I'm moving, the feet should
be carried forward and back in a
straight line. without padding, wing
Ing, or other irregularity OF gait. In
order to get the best and greatest
stride with the least energy 1t is abb
solutely necessary that the feet move
straight and smooth without defects
Of gait.
"Knee action In the draft horse Is
not Of great Importance. A long stride
which covers considerable ground Is
much more important than high knee
action, as ability to cover ground is
what Is wanted.

TIMELY REMARKS ON
SPRAY PREPARATION
Power Pump Should Be Used Il
Best Results Are Expected
High Pressure Needed.

The following timely remarks are
taken from letter sent out to super
intendents Of Ohio state institutions
by S. w. Moore, horticulturist Of the
Ohio board of administration.
"The power pump is the pump to
use II results are wanted. The argu-
ment used at some of the institutions
by those In charge of the work has
been that there Is plenty Of hand
power or labor power and 1t lis eco
nomical to use 1t. This sounds well,
but II the practical orchardist were
consulted, he would say that the
hand pump, aside from the labor Of
running 1t, Is an expensive PROPOSE
ton, as II is almost impossible to
maintain the pressure necessary ef-
fectively and economically to cover
all parts Of the tree or plant; and
when all parts are not covered, the
application will count for little.
Success depends first upon the
material used. Second upon the ap-
plication, which means thoroughness.
The thoroughness that is necessary
can only be obtained with q heavy
pressure all the time; not $50 or 200
pounds for awhile, then rs or 80
pounds. Such a pressure will not
force the liquid into all the cracks
and crevices; and where some are
missed, scale and fungous diseases
will be found lurking. ready again to
take possession Of the plant as
soon as weather conditions are favor.
able.
III anything Is to be done along
this line. It is time the spray outfits
were ordered. Spray material should
be ON the way soon. as the clean up
or dormant spray should be applied
before growth begins. This is true
OF either tree or vine"

Hunting Coats Are Popular.

The designers have rather tired Of

years, and have introduced the velvet
hunting coat as smart substitute.
The tra-fashionable woman Is al
ready adopting this form of sport
wrap. One Of the smart models Is In

old gold satin.
Snuff brown embroidered In dull
gold, makes another Of these garments,
and black velvet lined with a figured
foulard and faced with raspberry red
satin. is offered for those who indulge
In the early spring sports.
From the way that these garments
are meeting with appreciation, It looks
as though they will be much smarter
than the sweater. II Is an interesting
fashion note and will undoubtedly
please many women who feel that the
sweater is not quite the kind Of gar
ment they want for certain affairs.
These coats will be worn over knife
plated skirts Of fine white serge or
poplin. but the dressmakers offer more
especially the plain skirt Of twine COL
cred crepe de chine, In that heavy
quality that is offered for sport usage.

CAUSES OF FAILURE
WITH CLOVER PLANT
Lack Of Proper Food In Soil, Acid
ity and Late Freezes Are
Among Reasons Given.
(By A. J. LEGG.)

The spring is usually regarded as
the best season for sowing clover, and
1t Is likely that this spring will be no
exception to the rule that many BUSH
els Of costly seed will be sown and the
seed lost.
The usual causes Of failure sre from
q lack OF proper plantfood in the soil
to nourish the young plants, acidity of
the soil, late freezes killing the young
plants just after they come up. or the
nurse crop smothers the young plants.
Clover. In order to succeed. must
have plenty Of mineral food In the
soil. enough nitrogen to give the clover

tions is the exceptionally large number

start and also plenty of moisture.
The soil must be in condition to
hold moisture over possible dry spell,
hence the necessity of a well-prepared
seedbed and plenty of humus in the
soil.
The oats crop is often used to SOW
clover with, and 1t does very well
sometimes, and other times the clover
is an utter failure.
l often sow clover with buckwheat,
and / have never failed yet in getting
stand of clover with the buckwheat
crop, even when sown as late as Au-
gust.
Then when the buckwheat comes off
the stubble helps to protect the young
clover, and the ground is not covered
with crop Of growing weeds which
rob the young clover of both moisture
and plantfood, as is usually the cease
when clover is sown with wheat or
oats.
l often turn the wheat stubble, and
after narrowing the soil thoroughly let
1t lie for about two weeks In order to
settle down, and then sow buckwheat
and clover or timothy and clover about
the first of August.
l have never failed to get a good
stand of grass and clover and / usu-
ally get enough buckwheat to pay for
my work.

'vThe walk Is the important gait. II

movement of the knees and hooks free

Action In Trottinq.
ut Is essential to note an animals
action In trotting, because defects In

A general strike vote will be taken
to-day by $4,000 girls in the paper

the various locals on the replies OF the
employers to the demands for increas'

the most exploited in New York" said
Morris Waldman, organizer Of the

"Their wages are miserably low, and
their hours unbearably long. Lega!

It was one Of the quickest reforms on
record.
white Way" Now Dark
The night lights of River Street, for
half q century notorious as Platts-
burg's white Way" have blinked their
last. The first blow fell last May. when
the Federal law governing the sale OF
liquor in the proximity Of army posts
put fourteen saloons out OF business.
At the same time a dozen other resorts
gambling and otherwise, closed their
doors.
At the time it was thought that this
would be sufficient. Saloonksepers
outside the first barred zone promised
20 be good and TO sell no liquor TO
soldiers. AS far as Investigators could
learn, they kept that promise-for g
little while. Then evil rumors began
to float about concerning gay parties
of soldiers on leave of absence. But
tangible evidence was lacking until a
few weeks ago, when the lst Field Ar
tillery, New York National Guard, came
up from New York City.
The Guard,men had more time away
frcm camp than the student officers,
and il soon became common report that
the River Street saloons were selling
liquor TO soldiers. Secret service men,
agents of the Plattsburg Woman's
Civic League and Mr.. Hooke soon had
undisputable evidence before Colonel
Wolf. II was charged that at least on
one occasion artillerymen replaced
their red hat cords with the red, white
and blue of the student officers in an
effort 10 conceal their identity.
