TH F FARM.
t I MAKE MOST OF THE CLOVER. CRO)
I The first point that the farme
should consider Is putting the land I
condition to make the crop a good cn
The land should have all surplus watt
removed.. The water line should 1
lower so that it will be an advantay
rather than a detriment to the clot
I or. Then the land should have cuff
ciont cultivation to unlock the play
food thAt the clover feeds upon. Tl
seeding should be at the most favor
able time says Mr. Jamison in Commel
i tial Gazette, and an amount sown the
will insure a stand under ail ordinar
conditions of the weather. When ant
the stand is secured, as much interct
should be taken in seeing it perfec
T itself as is taken In the growth an
perfection of a crop of wheat or cors
With a good many farmers the treat
ment of clover is along the line of th
• treatment they give their pigs — 1
j short, that it can hustlq for itse:
without any particular attention bi
ing paid to it. While clover is one c
e the best weed exterminators that w
11 have, care must be taken to keep tb
weeds down till the clover gets
good start and has gotten above tb
weeds. The crop should be given a
opportunity to perfect itself. This I
cannot do if pastured too closely. O
0 the perfecting of the root growth do
- pends a large per cent.. of the benefi
derived from growing it. Short growt
above ground gives short roots b(
) low the surface. This important fat
should be remembered by every clove
grower. While it gives the meet re
lisped pasture to animals while youn
and tender, still its full growth advar
, tages should not be sacrificed on thi
account. Early In the season whe
moisture is sufficient it should b
allowed w get a firm root hold. The:
it will be more able to withstan,
I drought and heavy l,asturing later it
3
the season. If it is sown with smal
grain, it should have careful treatmen
the first summer and given a chauc
I to make a strong growth. Cnly it
rare instances is the farmer justifie<
in pasturing it the first season. Th'
, plant needs all the strength it car
build during the first summer to car•
ry it over winter and prepare it fol
reaching &maximum growth the nexi
summer. The maximum crop is what
we all should aim to get. This we can
not get if the stock t�ramlp out and
otherwise destroy a largoper cent. the
first season of growth. hen we have
secured the crop or have the roots
strong enough to produce it, the next
important point is how to best use
It. It is a well-known .fact that in
midsummer and fail, when other grass
crops have dried up, that clover, on
account of its deep rooting, keeps on
growing and gives green forage to the
animals on the farm. To make the most
profit out of animals'on the farm the
farmer should expect most from their
growt.b.rather. than from fat laid on. To
get the greatest growth the animals
must have succulent food. Here comes
in the place that we can make much
more out of clover than we can out of
other grass crops. With it in a drou-
ghty season we can keep up a continu-
ous growth of young animals, when if
we depended on Timothy or other sur-
face feeders the stock would be at a
standstill. On most farms where stock
is kept the winter feed, particularly
for the horses is Timothy bay, corn and
fodder. As a result of this kind of
feeding, the young horses make no
growth during the winter months.
Often they come through the winter
with a gradual run flown in flesb,grass
finding them in the spring very poor.
The trouble does not arise from not
being fed enough, but from the fact
that what they have had is not a bal-
anced ration. Young cattle also suf-
fer in the same way, and come out in
the spring walking skeletons. Now
this can in a great measurel be pre-
vented, if not wholly overcome, by the
use of clover hay. By feeding clover
hay along with fodder and corn to our
horses and colts we can keep them in
good flesh and keep the colts grow-
ing. The young cattle can a;so be made
to improve, keep growing and lay on
flesh by the additional ration of clover
hay. ,Lack of information in regard to
its feeding value and prejudice stand
against its more general use. Some
men that are fattening steers for mar-
ket will not use it because they, think
the steers will not consume as much
corn. We are in doubt about this.
Even if it docs curtail the use of corn
it will certainly not reduce the gain.
With its use the cattle will feed long-
er and ma'ae a better gain. Farmers
are beginning to see the value of clover
as a renovating crop. Now if they
will learn to utilize the hay crop to
the l*st advanatge in feeding balanced
rations to their stock, they will add
much to the value of their farms, their
stock, and, a3 a result, many dollars
to their bank stock. Many animals
colts and calves t::at are of good breed-
ing and that start life under promis-
ing conditions mature as scrubs be-
cause of the one-sided ration that they
have during the winter months. By
making a proper use of clover this can
all be ehanged, and to the advantage
of all other farm crops.
SEEP Sl'VILL BARRELS CLEAN,
As hags seldom recover from disease,
id: is advisable to use every precaution
to prevent it. Allow no vegetable mat-
ter to settle to the bottom and decay
Do not feed musty or decayedggral:n.
Deep the pone, clean. Feed reg+nlasly,
and at least once a week gilve a mix-
ture of wood ashes, sinit and brimstone,
Occasionally a heaping tablespoonful of
saltpetre should be g:,vein in the swill
for 10 bags.
. SMALLER FARMS.
Most farmers are tryimg to culkivate
tolo mu h land, and of course are not
lldimg this in a way to make a pro-
fit. If alI farms of 100 acre® or more
tvtzre out in twq, and the money that
wle-half would bring were invested in
maprowing and oultiva,ting tthe ot,bbr,
the prOfik would be fax greater than
k Is Usually. Indleed„ hhe large farm
tares not pay any profit, and most years
its crops are solar at & loss. ,With the
iilvisioln of farms will naturally come

t A somewhat similar thing happene
a during the Russo-Turkish war. Whi

male infant that had been deserter
t The men took charge of the little lon+

I A HANDSOME DOWRY.
L Last year a man died at Birminghax
i who had. through life, the satisfac
I tion of knots ing teat bis l;irthp; ac•.e wa
of a unique ckaraowr, inasmuch as h
was born on the baltlelioi of Water

was killed in the memora'rle enga,ye

cumstances, he did not develop into I
soldier, but, becoming a railway guard
frequently had the honor of acting it
that capacity to the Queen's train.
Another romantic story is told ir
connection with the American Civi
War. After one of the battles a baby
clothed in fine apparel, was found am-
ong the dead and wounded, and as tic
one came forward to claim it, the opin-
ion was formed that its l•arents hat:
perished in the strife. Of course it was
impossible to say whether it belonged
to ,the Northern or Southern side; but
ultimately a Southern soldier and bi..

ANOTHER INCIDENT
Of a baby on the battlefield is also fur-
niabed by America. It was at the timr
of the Revolution, during the invasion
of Charleston, when the country north
of Cooper's River was ravaged by Col,
Tarleton and the British. Some of th
men reached the plantation of 14ir•.Gi1>L•s
at night, and after kiliing the cattle
and shooting down the negroes, pro
ceeded to shell the house. Mr. Gibbs,
was unfortunately a helpless cripple,
but his eldest daughter, a girl of thir-
teen, with the .help of, the servants.
carried him and a younger sister to
a place of safety.
After doin; this she discovered th Lt.
the baby, a boy two years of age, bad
been left behind. By this time, how-
ever, the hous4 was in flames, shells;
were falling thick around it, and the
field was full of soldiers. Still she de-
termined to save the baby, and ran to-
ward the house,but she wa.3 caught by
a soldier. "Where art: you going?" he
demanded, and when she replied, "For
our baby," the soldiers sto-Pped firing
When she cnt�red the house, its de-
struction was so `ar completed that the
walls began to crumble, and the flamer
shot up througb the roof. It is said
that, when ahs reappeared a moment
later with a white bundle in her arms,
the soldiers cheered her loudly as she
ran to the spot where bar father had
been placed. The heroic girl was badly
burned, but she recovered; while th
baby whose life she had thus saved af-
terwards became the gallant Lieut. -Col -
anal Penwick. .

1698 was not prevented by James the
Second's navy. French troops were
la-nrled in Tarboy in 1690 and in 1691.
In 1716 Oharles XII. of Sweden was
Preparing to lead an invasion, and
only his death put a stop to the pro-
ject.. In 1779, the Frenrh and Span-
iards sent over a• fleet which lay in
Cawsaatl Bay, n^ar Plymouth. In 1706
a French exrediti-n of fifteen shins
of thb ]line, eighteen corvettesand fri-
gates and tran,,porty with 25,000 men
Lay in Va0tr-v.,Pay. In 1798 the Frenrh
sent 36,000 mento Egypt, capturing
Malta am the way and holding it fnr
two years, la the same year they
la,ncled troops in Treland. In 1805 Na-
nolean had marle complete arranhe-
ruemts for an invasion, and English his-
torianr3 admit that had it not been for
unlfoneeen accidents be might have ac-
com 0ishled, his purpose.
On all the occas:ans mentioned above
the naval strength of the English was
superior ,to that of their anomies, as
U is to -day, while, we may add, Eng-
land, having been at war for many
years, maintained a far more powerful
'and farce in comparison with the con-
tim,ential armies than she now main-
taims. The effect of a European coati -
tion strong enough on the sea to en- i
gage. the Fngtish navy on equal terms
while ssndi:ng across ,the channel a
great force of the best traL•ned soldiers
of Europe, is rather appaldimig to im-
agine- The sum of General du Cane's
argument is that England will newer
be safe from a real "Battle of Dorkim+g"
,inless stio perfects her army wind her
fortifications,
Mr. Romanz—"I tell you what, a
haby hrightens up the house, and that's
a fact." Mr. Practickel—"Yes, we've

ever since ours was born,
"Do you think that glasses tend to
weaken the sight?" asked Col. Still -
well's friend, ,And after pensive con-
sideration the colonel renlied : "It de-

and common carelessness can make a
combination strong enough to defy
all the healing skill of the physician.
Common carelessness lets the cold
root and grow. Common carelessness
says, between parakysms of cough-
ing, "It will be all right in a day or
two," and the common end is con-
Amed lung trouble, perhaps con-
sumption. The common-sense treat-
ment of a common cold is a prompt
dose of 'Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It
is the most efficient and reliable cure
for colds and coughs, and is con.
stantly prescribed by physicians.
8.1UTN ta, M. D., 8aranse, N.Y., says;...
"I bave used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral in my
practice since 1853, and have alwayll found
it reliable for the cure ot colds, coughs, and
all lung diseases."
