GROW MORE CLOVER.
It Is a Splendid Paying Crop and Also
Enriches the Soil.
We need more clovers grown or^
the farms of the South. The clo
vers are legumes and have the lit
tle bacteria at the roots for gath
ering the nitrogen from the air and
tnus enriching the soil. Nitrogen
is the costliest ingredient in fer
tilizers. If we grow clovers we
are making a portion of fertilizer
while we are making hay and pas
ture. If we turn under a green
crop of clover in the fall we are en
riching the soil much more. The
tops as well as roots contain ’ni
trogen. A clover crop w> ighir g
2tons to the acre when plowed
unde' is worth as much as 10 tons
of stable manure to the acre, ac
cording to Dr. Cyril G Hopkins,
and he is one of the leading soil
experts of this country. There
are different kinds of clover and
they all have their advocates and
good points.
The common red clover is good
for pasture and hay. Most every
body knows about it, but it isn't
grown enough.
Japan clover, or Lespedeza,
grows wild on the fields in most
pirts of the South. It makes a
good pasture, and a good hay crop
when grown on good land. Stock
are very fond of the hay. It is
small and does not grow high, and
matures for cutting irf September.
On good land it will make more
than a ton to the acre. If cut late
it will re-seed itself.
Alsyke clover is good for wet
land. It makes a good pasture and
grow.
Crimson clover is fine and makes
an early spring pasture. It is one
of the best clovers for the soil. It
takes well drained land and will
not grow where the soil iS sour and
needs limestone. I would advise
trying it only in a small way at
first. Then be guided by your ex
perience.
Bur clover is fine for a winter
pasture and coyer crop. A cover
crop, you know, is any crop that
stays green and covers the ground
in the winter, and keeps the land
from washing or the plant food
from soaking out with winter rains.
Bur clover can be planted in
September and will do for pasture
during the winter. It seeds and
dies in May or June, and will come
again in the fall. It is a good crop
to plant between the corn ana cot
ton rows in the fall. If it is allowed
to go to seed in the spring a crop
of something else can be grown
during the summer and it will come
again in the fall. It is a good pas
ture in combination with Bermuda.
As the bur clover dies in the spring
the Bermuda comes on, and the
two make a combination summer
and winter pasture without re
seeding. They are both soil build
ers.
bweet clover is another that has
received lots of attention from ag
riculturists and agricuitural papers.
For many years it was not regard
ed as valuable, and in some places
it was regarded as a pest. It has
come to stav, however, and has
many advantages. It is one of the
richest soil builders and yields well
for,pasture or for hay. It is said
that stock do not like it at first, but
if %tarved to eat it will then grow
very fond of it. It will grow on
heavy, hard and poor soils; in fact,
on most any soil to some extent.
It will inoculate a field for alfalfa,
and should be tried as a forerunner
to alfalfa. The roots are soft and
when dead decay rapidly and help
the soil in th* t way. In fact, it is
one of the best crops known for
enriching the scil. It can be pas
tured in the spring and summer
and plowed under in the fall. When
cut for hay the cutting should be
done when it is about 20 inches
high, and not too tough. It is very
rich in protein and fine for feed,
and especially good for milch cows.
It will grow on wet land or ary. It
will stand heavy rainfalls or drouth.
In planting, the ground should be
rather firm and not loose.
Remember that all clovers are
good for your land. Growing clover
is like having a savings account in
the bank—it keeps adding some
thing. Try some of them. If you
you can you might try them all.
The experiment is worth while.

Commissioner of Agriculture.
Thayer-Woolley.
Miss Lorena, the eldest daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Woolley, and
Mr. William T. Thayer, of Pine
Bluff, were united in marriage at
the Methodist parsonage on Sun
day night by Rev. J. R. Rushing
and left early Monday morning for
Pine Bluff where they will make
their future home. The bride was
born and reared in this county and
has been a resident of Huttig for
several years, while the groom
worked here for some time at his
trade as a blacksmith until recent
ly when he moved to Pine Bluff,
his former home. The News joins
with their friends in wishing them
a happy and prosperous married
life.

Mlstaken Confidence.
Jude Johnson an Atchisan, Kan .
character, recently ran for office
and out of 2,000 men who prom
ised to vote for him The Globe
says he got just 34 votes. For
misrepresenting in his campaign
expenses he was then sent to jail
and from the cold and barren walls
of his prison cell he sent out this
little bit of advice to the would-be
politicians: “Don't let any man
get it into his head that there is a
loud call for his services arid
that the people can be trusted.
Any man who believes he is popu
lar and can win a political office
hands down is an ass. or a perverse
fool, as it were. As to my person
al condition, my wife refuses to get
me out of jail, and for the first time
in my life 1 don’t blame her. She
it was who told me 1 couldn’t be
elected to anything, and 1 replied
by saying that women know noth
ing of affairs politic. She alone
was honest with me; my friends
lied to me. and I now regard them
as slimy fishworms in the grass.”
Jude Johnson’s "sore spots” may
be said to extend to a great many
others who have awakened to the
true realization of things after the
votes are counted.

Mother 100 Years Old.
A. E. Lucas handed the News^
the following clipping from an On
tario paper, giving an interesting
sketch of his grandmother, who re-;
cently entered upon her hundredth
year;
Wyoming —Mrs. John Leacock
of Watford, who is visiting with
Mrs. M. Brooks, has just entered
her 100t*hyear and from present
appearances is likely to celebrate
many birthdays.
She is not only in excellent health
but retains her mental abilities to a
marked degree, recounting clear'y
and witn evident enjoyment, hap
penings of long ago.
Born in Ireland of Scotch parents,
her early yea-'s were spent in the
old lands, living first in Scotland
after her marriage and then in Ire
land, from where she sailed to
America, landing in Quebeck, Can

The ocean voyage of six and
one-half weeks, followed by the
stirring events of the Mackenzie
rebellion, are fresh in her memory
today, while the battle of Young

outbreak.
Of her family of eleven children,
(.among them being eight boys in
succession) four are living. Her
eldest son, now living in Biigden,
is in his eightieth year. Some of
her children were born in Scotland
and some in Ireland. Five were
born in Pennsylvania. U. S.. and
the remaining members of the fam

Returning from Pittsburg, where
her husband, in pursuit of his trade
as shoemaker, had removed the
i family, they again came to Canada
in 1852, settling in Brooke town
ship, near Watford, on the farm
owned by her youngest son at the
present time.

and more active days. Mrs. Lea

file Protest.
A protest was filed by a large
number of tax payers at El Dorado
i against the purchase of 80 acres
; of land at $50.00 an acre and the
erection of three tuildings to cost
$9,000, to be used as a poor farm,
and the indications are the matter
will be dropped, as no contractor
will want to erect the buildings
when a law suit will surely follow.

The woman who is taking her
fourteenth husband ought to know
whether all men are alike or not.
It's easy to smile through our

we are.
Ambition is a good thing if it
doesn't make the ambitious one

his time on the lowly and smallei

to higher and bigger things.
About the only way a woman

There is generally believed to be

both.
Collecting money by Uw costs
too much, but-even at that some
times it is worth it.

King's Portrait Veiled.
This concerns a portrait in Portu
gal: There was in the salon of honor
of the congregation of the faculty of
medicine, at Lisbon, a portrait of the
former king, Don Carlos 1. The per
manent retention of this portrait
troubled the slumber of the minister
of instruction of the republic of Portu
gal. who. however, had no power to
demand that it be removed. So he
expressed to some members of the
faculty the desire 1ha( this reminder
of sovereignity should hp covered
with a veil. And this has been done.
So Don Carlos 1. is found concealed

Why We Seek Solitude.
To find refreshment after 11 months
f asphalt roads, tube railways, or me
chanical employment, we fly for the
remaining four weeks to feed our
senses on the emptiness of the sea
or the desert, or what John Evelyn
calls in his diary of foreign travel
“strange, horrid and fearful crags and
tracts.” But the taste for these aa
pects of nature is especially a reac
tion from our normal preoccupations,
and ware those preoccupations re
moved. there ary not many men who
would exile themselves for their own
pleasure among the mountain tops or
in the tentH of nomads.
Stammerers' Lingual Contribution.
To stammering, according to a fav
orite theory, we owe the very useful
word “teetotal." says tire London
Chronicle, it appears to have been
first used in September. 1833, by Rich
ard Turner, a reformed drunkard.
Opinions dilTer. however, as to wheth
er it was the happy accident of stam
mering over “total" or an intentional
emphasizing by reduplication: and It
has even been claimed that it is an
old dialect word. The only certainties
are that the word has nothing .o do
with tea, though a French novpltst
did translate “teetotaller" into total
tseui du the.
DO WELL WITH LITTLE RAIN
Dry-Land Farming of Central Tunic
Has Long Been a Matter of Won
der to Other Countries.
One of the greatest and most tri
umphant agricultural booms in the
world is to be found in Africa—the
dryland farming of central Tunis,
where the rainfall is less than ten
inches. This success is astonishing
in the face of the uncertainty, dread,
and failure that harass onr own as
yet unadjusted dry land agriculture.
As art evidence of local failure i would
rile the observations of an agricul
tural scientist on a recent PO-tnile
journey in the southern part o
the Great Plains, where the rainfall
averaged 20 inches In the DO miles
traversed there was but one surviv
ing settler and not even a cattle-ranch
The dry land farmers had pushed out
the cattlemen, and the recent droughts
bad pushed out ttj.e dryland farm
ers all hut one—in a strip as long as
from New York to Philadelphia. Onf
uncertainties arise under a rainfall of
to to 20 inches. The African's com
placency is assured by less than ten
inches. Subscriptions have recently
been taken up here for people living
in an average rainfall of lt> to 18
inches. Yet the complacent success
of Tunis is in the vicinity of Sfax,
where in seven consecutive years the
total rainfall amounted to 41 inches—
five and eight-tenths per year—Prof.
J. Russell Smith, in Harper's Maga
zine.
USE CHAIRS 133 YEARS OLD
Oldest Bank In This Country, Located
at Philadelphia, Has Historic
Furniture.
Twelve business men gather at regu
lar intervals about a long table In a
room on the second floor of the build
ing at 305 Chestnut street, Philadel
phia. The chairs they sit In have
been In service 133 years and are as
good today as the day they were sold
by the maker. Those chairs have sup
ported the frames of various men fa
mous in American affairs.
The 12 men are the directors of
the Hank of North America, the old
\ eat bank tke
and the most remarks'
walls of the directors’ rooms are tbs
portraits of all the former presidents
of the venerable bank and there Is a
painting of Robert Morris, founder
of the institution, financier of the
Revolution, a man to whom the Amer
ican people owed much and t» whom
they made a poor return.
Off to one side is a table which
came from the borne or Morris. It has
been in service perhaps one hun
dred and fifty years, but there is not
a crack or blemish in its its mahogany
body or Its marble top.
