COMPARATIVE VALUE OF CLOVER AND TIMOTHY ON THE FARM.

(By A.T. Wiancxo, B.S. A, in Farming.)

Clover an! timothy are two of the most important fodder crops grown on thefarm, esp-cially in this country. They form the buik of the food fed to our animals for tl roduction of either milk, beef, or work. It is therefore, important to deter-

mine which of the two fodders is most valusbie for the object in view, consider- ing e came time which is tie cheapest to prodaceand how each affects the fer- tility of the soil; for itis high time that the farme: is looking intothe problem of how best to keep up the fertility of his

farm without having to resort to the ure ef courmercial fertilizers,

CL--Vik A DekP FEEDER, TIMOTHY A SHALLOW FEEDER. Of all the food elements necessary for the growth of crops and vbat we are called upoa to supply, nitroger, phosphoric acid, and po'ash are the most impor ant ; these are, therefore, the ones mainly to be con. sidered in keeping upthe soil’s fertility. Some plants require amore liberal supply of these elements than do others; also, some plants have better facilties than others for gathering from rem-te sources their necessary amount of food. The Javier ability depends upon the amount and nature of their root growth. Plants, euch as clover, whose roots penetrate deeply into the soil, have an evident ad- vaniave, being able to draw food from a considerable depth ; while shallow-rooted plants, such as timothy, must be satisfied with what available nourishment they find bear (he surfate: clover A NIPROGEN-GETTING PLANT. _ Now, whether you are feeding plants or animals, nitrogen is the most costly food element. About four-fifths of the bulk of the atmosphere is nitrogen in the free state ; but this is useless as a food foreither plants or animals. Clover belongs to a family of plants (Leguminosce), other ex- amples of which are the pea, bean and vetch, that have growing on their roots ema’) white bodies, which, by virtue of micru-orgavisms contained in them have the power to appropriate the free nitrogen of the air and convert it intosuch a form that tliese plants can utilize it as food for them-elves. Timotby has not this power of utilzing the free nitrogen of the atmos- phere, but must obtain ite supply wholly trom tbe available nitrogen compounds already in the soil.

CLUVER C4N ADD NITROGEN TO THE SOIL.

lf a crop of timothy be grown and fed on the farm, and the manure carefully saved and applied, the soil will have neither lost nor gained in nitrogen. On the vier hand, if a crop of clover be grown and likewise fed on the farm, and the manure carefully saved and applied, not wnly the nitrogen drawn from the soil will be returned but also a large quantity whici the clover drew from tbe air will be iett co the soil in a form available for plant fod. Thus, in the case of the clover, the soil will have gained enough nitregen to enable it to produce a good crop uf corp, potatoes, wheat, or other grain.

CLOVER OBTAINS NOURISHMENT FROM THE SUB SOIL.

Clover being a deep feeder its roots penetrate deeply Into the sub soil and draw u large amount of phosphoric acid and ; otash from a depth that the rcots of ordinary plants never reach. Timothy, being a shallow feeder,diaws all of its phosphoric acid and potash from the surface soil. In this we can see, that if fed on the farm and the manure returned to the land, clover enriches the surface coil by the amount of phosphoric acid and potash drawn from the sub soil, while timothy has not this advantage.

CLOVER BRINGS HUMUS TO THESOIL.

If utilized on the farm, clover is unea— celled in keeping upthe fertility of the Jand. Owing to its large development of roots, clover brings a great deal of organic matter (humus)to the soil (almost half the amount of its total growth is left on the soil as roots and stubble); it thus has no smal! effect in improving the tilth of soils naturally deficieot in organic matter ; mak- ing st ff clays more porous and sands more

The manure resulting from the fodders, if made under the same conditions, willshow a similar comparative value, two tonsof that from the clover hay being worth three tons of that from tim- othy hay.

CLOVER SII°ULD NOT BE SOLD OFF THE FARM. It is thus quite evident that clover is of toomuch value as food for both animal and plants to allow for its being sold oft the farm. If you must sell hay, sell timothy ; it not only has a readier eale and a higher price on our markets, but is worth less on the farm either as food or manure. It isa lamentable fact that so many farmers have not yet learned how to make good clover bay; and until they do they

Before the days of chloroform there was a quack in San Francisco who advertised tooth drawing without pain. The patient was placed in a chair and a wrench given, when he roared violently. ‘‘I thought you said there was no puin?’’ ‘‘So there is not by my process. ‘hat is Cartwright’s way. That’s the way he does it. It’s very different from mine.’’ Another tug, anda still more violent howl, ‘‘That’s the way Dumerge pulls teeth,’’ said the upabashed practitioner. ‘‘You don’t like it, no doubt. Who would?’’ Another twist was given, and the patient, as a rule, howled worse than ever. ‘‘That,”’ the dentist says, ‘‘is Parkinson’s mode.’’ By this time the tocth was nearly out. “*T will pow,’’ he said. ‘‘display my own method,’’? whereupon he triumphantly withdrew the tooth and held it up for in- spection. ‘‘You observe that by my traly scientific process there is really no pain whatever.’’—New York Tribune.

il o> fa ———— A Fish Story With a Moral.

A story with a moral, or whose sole rea- son for being is to carry a moral, may not always be out of place. Here is one, brief and to the point, which is good for all lati- tudes and all times: A young man stood listlessly watching some anglers on a bridge. He was poor and dejected. At last approaching a basket filled with whole- some looking fish he sighed: “If I now had these, I would be happy. I could sell them at a fair price and buy me focd and lodgings.’’

“T will give you just as many and just as good fish,’’ said the owner, who chanced to hear his words, ‘‘if you will dome a trifling favor.’’

‘And what is that?’’ asked the other.

‘Only to tend this line till I come back. I wish to go on a short errand.’’

The proposal was gladly accepted. The old man was gone so long that the young man began to get impatient. Meanwhile the fish snapped greedily at the baited hook, and the young man lost all his ce- pression in theexcitementof pulling thei in. When the owner returned, he had caught a large number. Counting out from them as many as there were in the basket and presenting them to the young man, the old fisherman said, ‘‘I fulfill my promise from the fish you have caught to teach you whenever you see others carning . what you need to waste no time in foolish wishing, but cast a line for yourself.’’— Good Housekeeping.

KLONDYKE |

The Land of ~~ Golden Nuggets JOSEPH LADUE, aice'Gtia Rocone ives ‘the tore

His book reads like ‘‘ The Arabian Nights” BUT Joseph Ladue KNOW; whereof be writes. He was the first man on the spot when the first gold was discovere: 1]... August, 1896. He located one rich claim, and immediately purchased twelve others at a low price before their value was known. He has refused $100,000 for any ONE of these claims, as they »re rich with virgin gold nuggets beyond the dreams of avarice. Joseph Ladue then

Established Dawson City,

at the mouth of the Klondyke and Yukon Rivers, by erecting the first house iu the region in September, one month after the gold was ‘first discovered. He bought 178 xcres from the governinent on the city site where his town lets, 150x50, ae now selling for $5,000 each.

Mr. Ladue was fortunate enough to be successful in his trading post investments to bave on hand ample capital to carry out his plans, and there is no wan living who is better posted on Alaska and the great North West Territories than Mr. Joseph Ladue. He has just returned from that country to his old home in Schuyler Falls, N. Y., where he passd a large portion of his boyhood and early manhood. Mr. Ladue left his home nearly twenty years ago to seek his tortune in the West, going first to the Black Hills, where he was successful in goid mining, thence to Arizona and the Pacific Coast, and finally located in Alaska and the North West, where he has covered almost the entire country since 1882. Mr. Ladue is a typical pioneer; strong, hardy ana resoiure—a man of iron as one must needs to be to go through the hardships he has and come out with a constitution unbroken and unimpaired at the age of about forty-three. Mr. Ladue has not only worked his muscies to good advantage to himself with the result of an abundance of the world’s goods far beyond the dreams of men, but he has evidently all his time been closely observing the conditions of that strange country—the Yukon Valley— which has so suddenly become one of the great centres upon which human interest throughout the world is focussed.

When the wonderful stories began to come down trom the Yukon country it was naturally concluded that it was at least half exaggeration. That any such amount o1 gold could be taken in so short a time from a country like that under the most unfavorable conditions was held to be incredible. But

when the great bags of virgin gold began to be poured out

upon mint counters in San Francisco under the eyes of the whole world (fur modern journalism does this, annihilating time and space), people began to wonder, and the wonder

grew day by day as the real facts were disclosed, and now

people who are well informed as to the facts declare that half the truth has not been told of the golden treasures of the Yukon Valley.

Aa we have already said, there is no man alive to-day who knows more about this wonderful country than does Mr. Ladue. Whar makes his talk of it specially interesting aad reliable is the fact that his knowledge of it is practical. It has not been gained from hearsay nor from desolutory visits made now anc then at certain favorable seasons of the year,

bit from steady living there through the long summer days j

and the long winter nights year in and year out for 15 years where he now owns the best min ng claims on the Klondyke aud its tributa-ies. |

In presenting his book to the public we do so knowing 4

that it is by an authority on the subject of which he writes.

His first work entitled “KLONDYKE NUGGETS ”

is a brief description of the new gold regions, and anyone desiring authentic information should not fail to avail them-

selves of our NOMINAL OFFER,
