For some years past there has been a craze among farmers to sow their clover seed very early. A number of good writers have advocated this cus- tomas being in the long run the best i practice. We are all familiar with the larguments that are used by these iwriters in support of their views. A rgreat many men can urge that ex- l perience will back up the practice. ‘ Many of those. however. says a writer, iin Breeders“ Gazette, who argue for ’ early clover seeding make the mistake lot thinking that it is merely a ques- ’tion of time and. season, forgetting ytha't it is in fact a. matter of condiâ€" ltion instead. The fact is. one can isow clover seed successfully any time from June to June if only the proper The seed of clover is ripened generally during the latter part of summer; most of it is retained in 'the dried blossom throughout the remainder of the grow- ing season. and. held up away from the ground above 'the moisture. If. as sometimes occurs. the autumn is wot The wise physician frequently finds | with beating rains, seed on clover still it ncccssary to “minister to a mind diseased" rather than to the body that l merely sympathizes with it. A young woman who had {gone from her home in an inland village to visit friends in the great city for the first. time in her life, soon began to lose all appetite and grow thin and hollow-eyed. Her friends. fearing that she was go- ing into a decline, called' in a physician, in spite of her protests, and asked him to prescribe for her. He asked a few questions, noted her symptoms, gave her malady o. scientifiq name. and said, as he handed her a bottle of pellets: "It will be necessary. miss, first of all. for you to leave the crowded city. The air here is not good for you. Have you friends in the country i" -“\Vhy, 1 Live in the country, doctor," she replied. ‘ “Very good. Return. then, to your home. engage in light exorcise, frequent walks in the open air, and take five of these pellets every morn- ing before breakfast." She returned to her village home. ob- ser\ ed the doctor's directions faithfully, paying particular attention to talking the medicine, and was well in less than a. week. Meeting the fzumily physician one day ‘ it occurred to her to tell him her ex- perience. Ho listened to her, asked to see the pellets, tasted them, and finding them to be merely sugar. unmedicated, said ) "What did your city doctor tell you was your ailment 3" “He said it was nostalgia." f'(d‘lmphl Do you know what nostal- gia. means i" with , iremaining on the stalk upon which it ggrow, will be found beaten down and lmuch of it sprouted. The writer has in. field of clover at the present time which was seeded in just that man- nor in the fall of 1896 and which promâ€" ises well for the present year. But the idea Iwant to put forth is this: It is rarely too lazte to sow clover if you can happen upon or manufacture 1the proper conditions for successful seeding. These conditions seem to me to be, first, the perfect covering of the seed. The freezing and thawing all.” the late. winter months generally 9 do this work in the best of shape and without any effort on our part. But while this is so, we must not forget that there are mnny chances to be [taken when early sowing is followed. Two years ago we were all taught a new experience when almost all the i entire area seeded to clover was killed Iby the late frosts of April and May. ‘ 1 do not want to be understood as argu- iing against: early sowing, for in the 1 long run I believe the best; results are . to be gained by getting the seed into 1the ground assoon as possible, but if this first condition mentioned. namely. the covering of the seed, be carefully é looked after. success will generally fol- ;low. Most of our clover is sown on ; winter whcat. and in this case it; very goiten happens that the ground he- --. ...-. _-..'..,. what kind of fruit they are using. There is no question in my mind that the best packages we should use in the future for wars and all choice up- ples is the bushel box. It is most con- venicnt for the general trade in the city markets. The groceryman. the Italian street dealer and the customer all like the libilei box. If {an be hundâ€" led with less work th. the barrel. Barrels may be used for all second and third grades. There is a growing de- mand for fine appearing dessz‘rt fruits of all kinds. if one had the tune it put our largest berries in. even if the box did not hold more than half the usual amount. The care shown in putting up the large berries thus. would attract a certain class of peo- ple. who havo more money than sense, to buy at any price asked. To obtain the best results. all our strawberries should be graded No. 1 and 9., and box- es should be well filled with berries as large at the bottom as at. the top. The importance of handlingfruils carefully should be impressed on all buying and could tell their families THE HEALTHY SELDGH HUNGRY. “.3 Stewart's Panto sold to be rm Ream l or Imperith Dlmlh~i~ " A thoroughly beallhy pcmon is nev- !er hungry." Thus says Dr. William : Henry Porter. who is a recognized cuâ€" ;lhnrity on dietetios. Up to this date ;a huge appetite has almost invariably ibis-n considered as evidence of agond ;physicnl condition. Many persons will irealize after weighing the doctor's ire- imark that their great desire fbr bod {at certain times is a warning that all is not well with them.

PRESERVING EGGS. Liming eggs is both a practical and i locum pay to line the quart boxes we simple way of preserving them, and we don’t know of a better, unless to keep them in a. cold storage house at a temperature always above freezing â€"-say 38 to 40 degreesâ€"when they will keep six months with safety. There are many formulas for making the limo Solution. Packing in jars. on to select a. receptacle from which the eggs can draw nothing; hence glass jars or stone crooks are preferable. Six gallon glass jars will hold twenty doz- en eggs. Slack about a peck of lime; to this add six pailfuls of water and three quarts of salt. This should be dissolved, and when settled is fit to use. Pour thethin lime-water into the jars. cover them with cloth, and on this spread a coat of the thicker lime-wa- ter. The solution must: stand in the Jam so as to cover the eggs. A peck lof lime ~ will be enough to preserve 'about one hundred dozen eggs. One of the best plans is KEEPING APPLES [N THE ORCH- ARD. A Geneva. N.

"They who rock the cradle rule that is. hauling it to the village or g in M““‘“"‘“' and when harrowcd in carefully with a sharp barrow the results will usually be as good as when sown early. Very often it happens that the ground cracks open by the action of the vig- orous March winds and the seed finds lodgomcnt therein and quickly germ- inates. A second condition tobe ob- I served in sowing clover seed is to make 1 sure of sufficient; moisture in the soil. This is the chief advantage gained by lhnrrmving the ground. A loose sur- ‘fzwe insures plenty of moisture for germination and subsequent growth. while if the soil be left unpulverizod , a serious drouth may be disastrous to 2 the young plants. When the seeding { is done on oats ground it would seem lthai every condition would be favorâ€" lable for good results. That this is ; room is not far to seek. lit is simply explained by the fact that the ground , has been left, in such a rough. or else i very open and loose condition. that tho 1 seed was either buried out of sight or . perished with the first slight dry spell. ‘ If clover is sown on oats it is far better 5 to first barrow them in. unless the :drill has been used; liicn after seed- ‘ ing brush or drag the ground.
