Grass, and Soil Fertility.

Few farmers realize what an
important part grssa fills in the
general rotation of crop pro-
ductiou, and most persons give
it little attention. The general
custom Is to SOW timothy seed
IN the fall with the wheat which
under favorable conditions will
water very well. Securing a
stand of timothy is not very
difficult, but the clovers, which
are more deeply rooted, are
more difficult to carry through
the winter.
Much of the clover seed is
sown IN the spring when the
soil Is honeycombed by freezing,
which gives the seed some chance
of being covered by the spring
rains; but on the clay soils,
which become more compact, it
ia more difficult to get a good
batch of clover. Much of the
seed lies exposed on the top Of
the ground and mnch Is picked
up by birds and most of it Is lost
by the time it terminates, es-
pecally after the weather is

FILINGS DEFIANCE AT HUNS
5000 100000 for Naval Construction
urged at Once by France

At the kaiser were flung two chal-
lenges from the United States Senate
as soon as the news of the U-boat
ravages in American water reached
that body yesterday.
Senator France, Of Maryland, intro
duced bill applrpriating 100000, 900
for the construction of twenty battle
cruiser and ten scout cruisers.
Senator McCumber, of North Da-
kota, introduced IN amendment to the
$4,000, 100000 army appropriation
bill, directing the President to in
crease the army Immediately to $780,
600 men exclusive of noncomhatants.
Both measures were referred to the
proper committees.
Like the McCumber amendment, the
France bill begs for speed. 1t "ar-
thoriZes and directs" the President to
undertake before September /, 1918,
the construction of twenty battle
cruisers carrying suitable armor and
to have the highest practicable speed
and greatest radius of action at cost,
exclusive of arMor and armament,
not to exceed 500 100000 each"
The bill also provides that work
upon these shall be begun as soon rs
practicable.
The scout cruisers are to cost not
more than 100000 each.

VICTORY OVER HOSPITALS
German Airmen Carefully Lighting
Scene With Flares, Bomb Sick and
Wounded Two Hours.

British Red Cross hospitals have
again come unter the German bomb
ing scourge. This latest tack began
at 1890 o'clock Friday night and the
hostile airmell laided the same group
of hospitals which suffered May ~.
Several hospitals were hit, and the
casualty list among patients and
workers is considerable.
One hospital was almost demolished
when an enem' aviator dropped an
explosive on it G:.ter getting his bear
ings by letting fall brilliant flare
which lighted up the whole district.
One sister was killed at this place
and several others wounded, one Of
the latter probably fatally.
The raid lasted two hours. but,
thanks to the fact that most OF the
hospitals were not crowded, the cas-
ualties were much lighter than in the
previous bomba-dment. Che hospital
which had large number of wound
ed men in it was bombed, but owing
to lucky circumstances comparatively
few were killed or wounded, the pre-
