The customary way Of seeding red clio

This Is cheap and convenient meth.
Cd, but It is often unsuccessful on soils
which are low In humus content. In
that case the surfaces Of the ground II

It Ii best to SOW the clover seed In

keep the machine from clogging.
Another method Of treating red clio
yer Ii to sow It In the late summer or
early fall on thoroughly prepared
seed bed. This, however, ID not prac-
ticable In the more northern portion Of
the clover belt. A seed bed should be
finely pulverized, thoroughly compact
and comparatively free from obnOx-
ious weeds. The seeding should be at
the rate Of ten TO twelve pounds per
acre OF clover alone or OF six to eight
pounds when seeded with timothy. On
heavy soils the seed should not be
placed over one-half inch deep and on
light soils not over one inch.
Red clover makes . splendid pasture,
but there ID danger that cattle and
sheep which are turned upon It In early
spring or following heavy dews may
bloat. The practice Of including 4 good
part Of timothy or blue grass In rcd
clover pastures practically eliminates
this danger. When Intended for hay
red clover should be cut a. soon @ Il

thoroughly wilted and before the
leaves have become dry and brittle the
hay should he raked into windr0ws for
curing These should be put into
cocks, which win turn water to some
extent, and left there until suflciently
cured for hauling. Exposure to bad
weather darkens the hay to consider
able depth In the stacks and seriously
reduces Its feeding value. For this res
son 1t also pays to store Clover hay
under cover. The hay itself 10 rich IN

"And how" questioned the New
Yorker, after an exchange of hand
shawes. 'is the old burg getting
along?"
A slightly cynical smile twisted
the face OF the banker-the smile
OF a man who for years has made
II his business to Appraise the
moral and financial worth OF his
neighbors.
"oh, the same old story" he
shrugged his shoulders. Every
body living on false pretenses. and

the rest will say about them"

Isn't that what they are all doing
Everybody living on false pre-
lenses. and everybody in deadly
fear OF what the rest will say about
them?" Where two or three are
gathered together, and equally
where there are millions, there is
always the effort TO represent ones
condition or circumstances as bet
ter than they are, and a labored
attempt to conceal the true facts
from others.
Some there are who appear to
get by with 1t for a season-shrewd
crooks and swindlers who manage
sometimes for years to deceive a
whole community-but when the
exposure comes and the populace
stands gssping and amazed at the
revelations, there are always to be
found some persons who knew or
closely suspected what was afoot
all the time.

indifference to IT where ones own

mayed the roar OF big guns and the
thrust OF a bayonet charge blanch
and turn pale at the prospect Of
ostracism or disapproVal by their
Fellows, at the mere whisper OF q
scandal touching them or theirs.
Even the great corporations, the
seats of entronched privilege. are
beginning now to court the public
opinion of which they used to be
so disdainful.
Yet that is one thing, and the
subtle poison of "Wha: will people
say?" which corrodes and ruins so
many lives. is quite another.
To the bold spirit, indeed, who
disregards the chances OF ridicule

victory is practically assured.

more than anything else acts as a

brake upon the passions and ambi-
