TALK ABOUT CLOVER.
Many Otherwise Well « Informed
Farmers Entertain Erroneous
Ideas Relative to This Plant,
Western farmers have learned that
elover is a necessity for them, but it
has been only a few years that this
fact has become apparent and many
ef them cannot write on this subject
without exposing their ignorance. In
an article under the title “Best Pas.
ture Grasses,” 8. Il. Tolley, of lowa,
begins with clover, which is not a
grass, and says of it: “Clover is all
right for pasture, but if stock is al
lowed to feed on it at all seasons,
there must be a large surplus left on
the ground, or the pasture will soon
be exhausted. Stock of all kinds like
the bloom and will eat it so closely
that no seeds can form, and hence it
will soon run out, because no seed is
left on the ground to propagate.”
Part of this is true, Stock are fond
of clover blooms, but it is only the
second growth of the ordinary red
clover that produces seed. It is non-
senso to suppose that clover seed fall.

The Garden Pharmacy.
The farmer's garden should be pot
only his larder, but his pharmacy as
well. It ean be made to grow his food.
It may be made to grow his medicines
also. Perhaps It is better to say that,
in growing the farmer's food, the gar
den may be made to produde food that
shall make medicine an unnecessary
thing in his family. This may be done
by growing vegetables and fruits that
are distinctly health-preserving as
well as nourishing. It is hardly pos-
sible to find a garden vegetable that is
inimieal to the consumer, although one
person may not like or be benefited by
one or another vegetable that is pleas
mot and beneficial to another.—~Farm-

The automobile still continues

to the shades so often by the railroads,

ion nowadays, especially in cases which
are not tried by juries, n which the
Iges are so well conversant with the
law that they seek little more than a
concrete presentation of the facts, A
story Is told of the late Mr, Justice Mil-
ler, of the United States supreme court,
which illustrates the demand of the
courts nowadays. Mr. Justice Miller
was always courteous, but in his last
years on the supreme bench he acquired
an aversion to what some of the law-
yers at the bar of the court took to
be oratory. A lawyer, who may be
called Brown, was addressing the court
and |
| one day In a long, rambling speech.
Justice Miller listened, uneasily fan-
ning himself, for some time. Then he
leaned over the desk and said, in an
audible whisper: "0 Brown, come to
the point!™ “Wh-hat point, your hon-
or?" sald the visibly astonished law-
yer, “Any point!” answered the judge.
The rest of the address was a rapid
condensation of the whole matter.
