Farm Notes.
—Too much value cannot be placed
upon the new clover, which is destined
to revolutionize farming in certain sec-
tions. Scarlet (or crimson) clover has
been tested and found equal to all that
has been claimed for it. It was intro-
duced into this country about 20 years
ago, and for a while was only known
in Virginia and North Carolina, but its
fame began to spread, until now it is
well known in all sections. It can be
easily recognized from the red variety
its long, pointed seed heads being in
strong contrast with the round heads
of red clover. It seems to thrive well
in Delaware and New Jersey, espe-
cially on lands that cannot grow the
red, and the farmers of Delaware are
now engaged in growing it to a large
extent, principally for seed, but wher-
ever it has been mowed for hay it has
given excellent satisfaction. It grows
evry rapidly, seeds out much earlier
than red clover, and stands the sever-
est winters remarkably well.
ADVANTAGES OF SCARLET CLOVER,
Those who have grown red clover
are aware of the fact that it is a bi-en-
nial. That is, the seed is sown in the
spring of one year and the crop is
mowed the second year, thus occupy-
ing the land two years. Scarlet clover
is seeded down in the fall, occupies
the land during the winter, and starts
off early in the spring, the same as rye
and matures its seed in May or June,
according to location. It thus occu-
pies the soil at a period of the year
when the land is not required for other
crops, and being seeded down in the
fall it can be used on land that has
but recently produced a crop. In
many instances it has given good crops
by simply sowing the seed on top of
the ground without any preparation of
the soil at all, especially in August,
among the stalks of standing corn, as
it soon germinates and begins to make
growth, completely covering the soil
and giving it a green appearance.
AS A SOIL RENEWER.
Scarlet clover will never be able to
displace the old and well-tried red va-
riety wherever the latter can be grown
to perfection, but it proves a gold mine
to farmers whose farms are not adapt-
ed to the red. It can be plowed un-
der in May, in time for planting corn,
and its stalks, leavee and roots add
both humus and nitrogen to the soil.
It may be added here, for the benefit
of those who may give scarlet clover a
test, that it will be an advantage to
use lime on the soil. Wood ashes are
also excellent, but lime is cheap and
can be easily obtained. The seed is
for sale by all reliable seedsmen, and
it is, as a rule, pure and free from the
seeds of weeds. Grow it as a manurial
crop, and use plenty of seed, so as to
have the land completely covered with
plants. It is also an excellent hay
crop, and if cut before it heads out will
afford several cuttings during the sea-
son, being an excellent early soiling
crop for cows, as well as being much
superior to rye.
USED WITH COW PEAS.
It may be repeated here that this is
an excellent time to use cow peas in
connection with scarlet clover. Plow
and harrow the land, sow two bushels
of cow peas, broadcast, roll the land,
and when the pods of the cow peas sre
about two inches long turn them un-
der, using a chain before the plow ;
roll the land, sow the scarlet clover
seed, and brush it in or roll again.
When turning the peas under, and
just before rolling the land, apply 25
bushels of air-slaked lime per acre.
The combination of cow peas clover,
though causing the loss of the use of
the land for the season, will cause a
gain in fertility that will amply com-
pensate for the time and labor be-
stowed.
—Hundreds of horses are ruined
every year because they are not given
water when they require it. There
may be regular times for watering, but
rules cannot safely be made to govern
the duty. On warm days, when the
horses perspire freely, they give off
from their bodies large quantities of
moisture, and should be watered fre-
quently, even if allowed but a small
quantity at a time.
—Give the trees plenty of room.
There is nothing gained, by planting
them closely together. There may be
an apparent saving of space when the
trees are young, but there will arrive a
time when the trees will be affected by
the crowding. The roots extend to
great distances, feeding over a large
area, and any restriction in room will
prevent growth and lessen the supply
of fruit.
—The attendant who enters a stable
to milk a cow with a pipe in his mouth
is not the proper man to perform that
duty. Milking should be regarded as
the cleanest and most important work
on a dairy farm, as milk not only ab-
sorbs ordors, but is also quickly af-
fected by any toreign substance.
—Plant a green crop, either of corn,
oats, peas or millet, to cut during dry
weather, when grass may be scarce. A
small plot of green food will be found
very convenient, and will also assiet in
providing a change of diet. It will al-
so be relished by all classes of stock.
It may be cut at any stage of growth
as required.
—When a horse refuses his food it
is a sure indication that something is
wrong. It is better however to delay
giving any kind of medicine until a
few hours have passed, unless it is a
cage of emergency, as the cause may be
due to some slight ailment that will
soon correct itself,
—Branis an excellent ration for
horses, especially if fed with cut hay,
as it is not as heating as corn and con-
tains more mineral matter than the
whole grain. Bran and ground oats,
mixed, make an excellent combination
for summer.
The Diamond as a Friend.
“That's my silent partner,” said To-
dy Hamilton, when I called attention
to the fact that he always wore his big
diamond beneath his vest.
“A good diamond,” he explained, ‘‘is
about the best friend in need a travel-
ing man has. You may think it a case
of vanity, but it isn’t—at least it isn’t
with a majority of the men who wear
them on the road. A diamond is the
most convenient form of portable prop-
erty and the least fluctuating in value.
You may get out of momey in some
faraway town, be robbed on the road,
lose your money or blowit in on a
spree. There you are. Your diamond
of the value of $150 will stand you in
for $100. You couldn’t get more than
$50 or somethirg like that on a watch
worth $250 to $400. So, you'll see most
traveling men wearing a good stone.
Itis a silent or special partner and
stands by a man at the right time.
“Circus men and theatrical people
save their money in diamonds. They
see a good many ups and downs, and if
they fidn't put their surplus cash into
gems they’d let it all go and have noth-
ing for a rainy day. An actress can
this way both save her money and be
using it at the same time in personal
adornment. We used to have a man
with the Barnum show who went
through the entire season dealing in
diamonds with our people. He'd sell
them diamonds, buy them back or loan
money on them when the possessors
were hard up and run a regular dia-
mond broker’s trade with us exclusive-
ly.
SEES
May Day for Japan.
A Paper Fish Floats Over Houses Where Boys
Were Born During the Year.
This is a very curious institution in
Japan. Canon Tristram in the London
Hour gives a description of it. ‘On
April 29,” he writes, “I was surprised
to see a display of color in a novel form
in every direction over the whole city.
On the roofs and corners of houses all
around were huge paper balloons in the
gaudiest colors suspended from bam-
boos from 20 to 50 feet high. The bal-
loons, or hollow paper bags, are cut in
the shape of a fish, sometimes 12 feet
long, with a large open mouth formed
by a wire ring into which the wind
vine inflates the fish, which waves
about after the manner of a weather-
cock, and is painted very cleverly in
brilliant colors.
It was the Japanese May Day, and
on this day it is the custom that a paper
fish should float over every house in
which a boy has been born during the
past year, and it remains hoisted for a
month, giving every town and village
the appearance of being ‘en fete.” The
girls Ly no such honor paid to them.
The explanation of this extraordinary
custom is that it symbolizes that as the
fish swims up stream, so may the boy
successfully face all the struggles of life.
Some boys are honored by a row of a
dozen fishes on one pole, and certainly,
to judge by the thousands of those fish
flags there is no fear of a lack of men in
the coming generation to defend their
country.”
The World of Women.
‘Weak, nervous, delicate, overworked
women need a strength builder, & tonic
for their nerves, and a cure for that aw-
ful internal trouble that is wearing out
their lives. Thousands of women have
found such in Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite
Remedy. Mrs. Christiana Beal, of
Jonesport, Me., writes that her daugh-
ter had been a great sufferer from fe-
male trouble, and after repeated trials
of doctor’s precriptions and other so-
called cures, all of which gave no relief,
she used Favorite Remedy and it per-
manently cured her.
If you have headache, uterine catarrh,
irregular menstruation, leucorrhea or
irregular monthly periods, sickness in-
cidental to change of life, or any of the
attending evils that are present in fe-
male complaints, use Favorite Remedy;
it will build up quickly the run down
constitution, dispel those tired looks and
feelings, restore the nervous system and
permanently cure you. Our daughters
grow up weak and delicate; mothers
can avoid such conditions by giving
them Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy.
