audience. The pin was hidden by a
Trinity student in an adjoining room in
the presence of a committee, among
whom was a confederate. The student,

Manure From Clover Hay.
All the clovers are richer in nitroge
pous matter than any of the grasses. [It
follows therefore that they make an
especially rich manure. Clover alone
makes a richer manure than will timo
thy hay and corn. Clover is also rich in
pineral fertilizers t is a lime plant,
and for thig reason some of it cut up fine
is excellent for laying fowls. 1t has been
calculated that the manure made from
feeding a ton of clover hay is worth §6
to $8 on the farm. It will cost as much
as this to replace it froin city stables
where the manure bas to be purchased
and drawn any oonsiderable distance
Clover should always be fed upon the
farm. It brings less than any other and
is better food for cows than bay of the
grasses Some clover hay should always
be given tocows that have corn ensilage
as the Jarger part of their ration. It bal

dry food should always go with ensilage
