A speaker at a Wisconsin farmers' Institute calls attention to the fact that clover has a big value as a fer t Hi :-. i ii crop. For Wisconsin there is about. eight dulfnrs of fertility in a to of clover hay, ami it is worth three-quarters of that in manure af'.er it has bneti fed. Therefore, if au acre yields two tons of clover hay, having a feeding value of $1C, and It is fed c:i tiie land, so that $12 of fer tilizer ri;n be returned to the soil, a value of (2H would be realized, and in addition there would be one-third of the crop in the ground, which would remain in the soil to fertilize it. supplying tho important element of humus.

Professor Shaw, of the Michigan College, says concerning the treat ment of scours In calves; "One of the best things we have used and are using almost altogether with which to suppress outbreaks of calf scours, is a mixture of tincture of rhubarb, camphor and opiate, equal parts in hot water, about a teaspoonful. One of the most interesting recoveries I have ever seen was about three weeks ago in the case of a calf that scoured and waB so near death the feet were stretched out cold and stiff, and there was every symptom of death. The calf was treated in that way twice, then fed with raw eggs and milk occasionally, and he recovered. He was the sickest calf I ever saw; so sick his hair all came off after a week or ten days, but he is one of the best feeders we have in tbe bunch to-day." Too Much Alfalfa. I am Inclined to believe that some of us have made mistakes by sowing too much alfalfa seed. Two years ago, on our farm, we prepared twenty acres of land for this crop, plowing In July after wheat, and harrowing it eight or ten times, get ting it into the finest tilth imagin able. This made an ideal seed bed. We sowed twenty pounds of good alfalfa seed to the acre, and I am confident that the stand was entirely too thick. There is a distinct rela tion between the amount of seed to use and the state of preparation of tbe land. I think that on land pre pared like that above described ten pounds of seed would have made an excellent stand. However, if the land is cloddy or otherwise in bad condition, it may be necessary to use even as much as thirty-five pounds of seed. Usually it will he cheaper to put the land in an ideal condition of tilth and use a smaller quantity of seed. W. J. Spillman, in Hoard's Dairyman. Practical Poultry Points. If hens lay soft-shelled eggs. It is a good indication that they need lime, and a supply should be kept where they can help themselves. Whitewash the hen house fre quently. Lime will not only arrest disease to a certain extent, but de stroys lice, also ill odors, and gives a neat, clean appearance to the place. Have movable perches, they are more easily kept clean. Plant aunflowera in the waste cor ners. They are said to be valuable in warding off malaria, and they cer tainly furnish, in their seed, a fine dessert for the poultry in winter, es pecially the laying hens. Place the mother hen's coop in, or near, tbe garden, bo that tbe little chicks, can help you in youf warfare against insects. They are too small to do any harm by scratching, ' and by having the run of the garden they will very materially lessen the rav ages by insects there. American Cultivator. , A Valuable Lcgi.mi'nons Crop. Many farmers do not realize the value of nitrogenous plants in the im provement of tbe soil, being disposed to estimate only their food value or market pries compared with other crops and the labor required for their cultivation. It is a great mistake to look only to the immediate cash re turns regardless of the condition of the land after the crop has been bar vested, for there is-a great difference in the comparative values of crops that exhaust the fertility of the soil and those which do not exhaust, but, ,ou the contrary, add fertilizing ele ments there!.). All leguminous plants do this and therefore they should be planted in rotation for the benefit of crops thnt are to follow them. The soja bean, which is not well known in this country, being from Japan, contains more protein and fat than the cow pen. One of the advan tages with both crops is that the vines are highly relished by cattle and where crops are grown and hogs turned In to do the harvesting, the results have been very satisfactory and the land improved. Those who have grown the soja bean commend it highly. It has but few beans In a pod, while the cow pea (which is really a bean) has half a dozen, but the soja bean has many more pods than the cow pea. The soja bean grows from two to four feet high and ripens about the first of October, but if the vines are preferred for hay they may be cut down about the lat ter part of August. As much as forty bushels of seed per acre have been grown on good land, under favorable conditions. There are several varie ties, the dwarf kinds being mostly preferred. The soja bean is quite hardy and can stand a slight touch of frost, but the cow pea thrives only under climatic conditions favorable for garden beans. It is better to procure seed of the soja bean grown in the North, if possible, as the seed from very far South is not well adapted to the Northern climate. The growing of the soja beans and cow peas widens the farmer's privileges by giving him two crops rich in seed and vine and of qualities that serve to assist him in winter when variety of food may be necessary in order to keep the stock in thrifty condition. Canada has made her field pea a leading crop for years and greatly to her advan tage. With cow peas and soja beans our farmers can grow better foods with no additional expense than from grain crops, while the soil can be greatly increased in fertility by plow ing under the vines, especially if lime is also used on the land. Epltomlst. Beautify the Farm Home. Every farm home should have a lawn regardless of the size of the farm and of the dwelling. Thera i no more enjoyable place to live than in a comfortable farm home, which is snugly surrounded by a beautiful lawn and shade trees. A pretty lawn and shade trees are necessary luxu ries within the reach of every farm er. The cost for trees, plants and grass seed Is comparatively nothing, while the benefits and pleasure to be derived are considerable. If farm homes and farm life were more at tractive and pleasant, there would be less trouble encountered about keep ing the children on the farm. More over, pleasant surroundings have an uplifting effect upon character, es pecially those of immature persons. A farm house may appear small and uninviting in a treeless yard, but it it were to be surrounded by a lawn, a few ornamental or fruit trees, there would be a decided change for the better and the same place would be made to appear cozy and cheerful. And it only takes a few trees and some grass to make the change. Those who already have lawns and, perchance some shade trees, should endeavor to make the lawn still more beautiful. Provide better trees and more of them if there is plenty of room. Replace those old cottonwood and soft maple trees with better and more beautiful ones. There is noth ing better for both landscape effect and windbreak purposes than hardy varieties of evergreen spruce, pine and fir. Many a farm has a tidy and comfortable appearance because such trees are set wide apart in the lawn and associated with arbor vitae hedges that are properly trimmed and cared for. Fine flowering and foliage shrubs are cheap and plenti ful these days and should have a place around every farm home. But it Is by no means necessary or de sirable to crowd the lawn with trees and shubbery; indued one of the first principles of correct landscape gar dening is to reserve a wide expanse of lawn, placing the shrubbery main ly in masses In corners. After trees have been set out In the lawn, the matter should not stop there. The highways would look much better it the owners of the farms would set out some good treea along the roadside.' Of course thoy should not be set so close together that they would shade and sap the fields too much for the good of the crops. But a row of hard maple, elm or black walnut trees, set at regular; intervals, s a valuable addition to every farm. And besides imnrov lng appearances, the treea may be utilized sometimes for wire string ing. Uncle Rural, In The Epltomlst. Taken the world over, the annual average ralaiaU U sixty inches, Peary's Last Dash For the Pole fly FREDERICK BOYD STEVEXSON Will he make it?" I i.sked him this question tne other day. He turned in his chair and looked at me. The muscle in his face half relaxed. Peary seldom smiles. "I hope to make It," he said, quietly. "This will be my 1. it at tempt. I believe it will be uuccess ful." j Despite the softnesr of his voice I one felt tho conviction of conquest. He gave no promise, no hint of t.it breaking of the Fnr North record in ' 1900, when he advanced within tv. hundred miles of the goal. There was no boasting of past ach'-remen.; no speculating on future glories. Peary is perhaps better qualified than any other in this quest of the pole. He began it twenty years ago, and on each of the seven journeys h) has made to the arctic zone he hns been pushing farther and farther north. In his heart Is the confidence of success on this eighth journey. "Tho beginning and the end of a polar expedition may be expressed in one word," said the Commai ' "That is foo- It is not the cold, :S Is not the exposure, but the fai.ure '. supplies that wrecks the enterprise. Three things are actually needed for food In the north: pemmican a dried meat thnt can be n..de into soup Bhip-biscult and tea. 'iea i' . stimulant, bo one can get Mont; with out that; ship-biscuits are a luxur;-, so one can get clong without them; but pemmican is a necessity that one must have in the arctic region." But a r..a' who confesses to have eaten raw dog with a relish may not be generally considered ac a pur veyor of tempting menus. "Dog meat?" Peary repeated. "Why, one who can cat hog meat or cheese can have nothing to Bay against dog. To be sure, the hind leg of an overworked dog is a little tcugh and rank sometimes, but a man who has eaten mutton stew in a cheap restaurant cannot rimplalr., nor is he apt to complain when tne gnawing" of his appetite attack him with the temperature seventy degrees elow zero. Tbe dogs reai'ily eat their comrades when they fall by tha way, and ' is, to a great extent, solves the problem of feeding th i animals. I have considered the question of taking dog-biscuit with me on my daBh to the pole; but while the Siberian dogs will eat it, the dogs which I use on my expedi tions practically all wolf will eat nothing but meat." "How about alcoholic drinkB?" I asked. The answer came decisively: "No man can drink alcoholic liquor who goes to the north. It would mean death to the man and a menace to the expedition." "And smoking?" "The man who is dependent on his cigar or his pipe might belter remain at home. Why, I should as Boon think of taking a man who had to have a piece of pie ever so often. The personnel of your men is the first consideration. Upon them de pends everything. In the first place they must be of cheerful tempera ment and not subject to fits of the blues, and every man must under stand In advance that he must meet the greatest hardships and self-denials. He must be willing to suffer cold and hvnger, to forego sleep In a word, to be ready to sacrifice his life, it need be, for the success of t'ae undertaking." "Have you found such men?" He nodded. "Yes; for the most part they are the same men who went with me be fore. I can trust every one of them under every circumstance." Peary has been so long in the arctic game that the question dress for the North has ceased to concern )..m. While on his sledge trips he sleeps In the open air on the ice in a sleeping-bag of fur, clad only in an undershirt. When he arises j has tily pulls on a pair of drawers which have frozen during the night. H.' trousers and socks are filled with snow, but he puts them on undaunted and, quickly thrusting his feet into a pair of kamiks, or shoes, also filled with snow and ice, end pulling on e big fur overcoat, he is ready for his (lay's Journey. "One does not mind the cold 1:i the north," said he. "The tempera ture ranges from fifty above to seventy-five below zero, and if a man takes care of himself he need suffer no Inconvenience on account of tl i weather. There is really no danger of freezing to death In the arctic zone." Harper's Weekly. His Cse For a Fork.
