FA11M AND GARDEN.
MATTERS OF INTEREST TO
AGRICULTURISTS.
Sonle Up'to-fUto Hint About Cultiva
tion of Ilia Soil nnd Y'leldf Thereof
- Horticulture, Viticulture nnd Flori
culture. ItlMSON clover has
been grown In In
dlnna for several
years. It hns
proved .an nlmost
absolute failure In
B o m o instances,
whllo In others
very satisfactory
crops havo been
fcyo v crown, ii is, ni
i best, a rather un
certain crop in this latitude, but It ban
several characteristics which make It n
dosirablo acquisition where It can bo
grown successfully.
Characteristics of Crimson Clover.
It is a true clover, but carllir, small 2r
and UBtinlly less hardy than tho com
mon rod clover. It atarts promptly and
moro vigorously from tho seed than
common clover, nnd this feature adapts
it to mid-summer seeding. It comes
Into full bloom at this station, early
in May, nnd is rendy to bo cut for seed
about tho 1st of June. It Is an annual,
tho parent plant dying when It has
matured Its seed.
Crimson Clover a Catch Crop. Be
ing an annual and unablo to enduro
winters, crimson clover ennnot take
rank as a staple crop In Indiana. It
Is, however, well filed to bo a "catch
crop," because, under favorable condi
tions as to moisture, a "catch" can bo
secured in July and even In August,
in which case It will furnish winter and
early spring pasture, or If preferred, a
very early crop of hay or seed. If cut
for hny a crop of corn could follow the
namo year. Crimson clover Is espe
cially commended as an lnter-crop be
tween two crops of corn, tho seed being
sown when "laying by" the first crop
of corn and the clover turned under
tho following Bprlng, with or without
pasturing, as a green manure for tho
succeeding corn crop. In cbeo of fail
ure to get a stand of common red clov
er In wheat, crimson clover may be
sown to advantago as soon aa tho crop
of wheat is removed.
Crimson Clover as a Forage and Fer
tilizing Crop. This clover has proved
excellent for pasture in tho late fall,
winter and enrly spring, and Judging
from Its chemical composition, it will
doubtless prove a better food fertiliz
ing crop than the common red clover.
Tlmo and Manner of Sowing. Crim
son clover should bo sown in July, or
early in August, to lnsuro a vigorous
foil growth In which caso It will prob
ably pass tho winter with slight dam
age. If It Is to follow corn, sow Just
beforo tho last cultivation, using a fine
tooth cultivator to bury the seed. If
It Is to follow wheat burn the stubble
If possible, pulverize tho ground thor
oughly with disk or spading harrow,
sow, harrow again with a tooth harrow
and roll.
Tho mothoda described above were
successfully used last year In 6owlng
crimson clover on the station farm.
It Is well to sow thickly say ten
pounds to tho acre as many plants
may bo killed by drouth and frost.

Turnip for Karly Ue.
Market gardeners make much larger
profits out of tho turnip crop than do
farmers. If they did not they could
not grow them at alL Tho res son Is
that thoy grow tho turnip early, hav
ing it ready for use, sweet and good by
midsummer, at which time the farmer
is Just ready to bow his crop. The
gardener sells most of Ills turnips done
up In bunches for a few cents each, but
making a price per bushel that would
make a furmer's eye bulge out. Why is
It that farmers do not grow more early
turntps? We don't mean every farm
er, of course, or wo should havo a worso
glut of turnips than there waa of pota
toes last year, when Secretary Morton
urged all farmers to go into potato
growing. Still, moro farmers might
begin in a small way the growing of
early turnips in amounts thnt they
could easily market. To do this, thoy
must do as the gardeners do, fertilize
tho early sown roots with some avail
able nitrogenous manure. The turnip
needs a good deal of nitrogen to make
a quick growth. The late sown turnips
find this nitrogen Hi all cultivated farm
land after midsummer. That Is prob
ably tho reason why turnips are so gen
erally sown late and as a catch crop,
and why, also, the price of late turnips
is always so low that there is very little
profit lr. growing them for market.
Ex.
Mulching.
A bulletin of the Minnesota Experi
ment Station says:
It is not generally understood that
a mulch may with benefit be applied
to cultivated ground. The usual meth
od of applying coarse litter and man
ure to trees and small fruits is falling
Into disrepute with some of our best
horticulturists. This method causes
the root system to form too near the
surface of the ground, so that when
the mulching becomes thin or a pro
tracted drought ensues, the trees
quickly succumb. Moreover, cultiva
tion is not possiblo with the thick
mulch, and consequently coarse weeds
grow up, and quack grass finally takes
possession, to the total destruction cf
the trees or small fruits. Many horti
culturists are now advising the aban
donment of the thick-litter mulch and
prescribing Instead only cultivation or
tho dry-eartb mulch. But this method
has disadvantages also. Under' it the
land becomes impoverished owing to
the exposure of the bare soil to the
m
flerco, direct heat of tho sun's rays.
Nitrification Is retarded Binco It pro
gresses more favorably vhen tho
surfaco of tho ground is partly shaded.
Again, tho cultivation method, to bo
effective, must bo frequent nnd thor
oughconditions not always easy to
meet Earth-litter mulching as prac
ticed by this writer obviates most of
tho difficulties named. Short-fibred
manure or litter is spread evenly over
tho surfaco of tho ground to a depth
of ono or two Inches. Irt a few days
the ground Is cultivated, thoroughly
mixing tho mulch with fino surface
earth. In the enso of small patches,
this may bo done with a hoe, but In
tho majority of cases It Is best done
with a cultivator. After some time,
when the apponranco of weeds or when
other causes make it necessary, tho
cultivation is repeated. The advant
ages of this method are:
1. Tho moisture is more efler.tually
conserved, and the root system takes
Its proper position.
2. Tho soil Is better protected from
tho direct heat of the sun. Tho earth
litter mulch id a good non-conductor.
3. Tho manuro thus applied keeps
intact tho supply of humus, thus in
creasing the soil capacity for moisture
nnd maintaining fertility. Nitrifica
tion is also favored.
4. Tho best features of both old sys
tems nro retalued, and tho method Is
applicable not only to trees and small
fruits, but to any cultivated crop.
C. Labor Is saved, the required cul
tivation being materially reduced.
Small v. I.nrjre I.unc.
Professor. Playfair said recently be
fore the Royal Agricultural Society of
England thnt small lungs In proportion
to the total bulk, nro helpful to the
fattening of nnlmal9. The order of the
smallness 6f the lungs of our domestic
animals is: 1, pig; 2, sheep; 3, ox; 4,
horse, and as a remarkable proof of the
importance of small lungs as indicative
of a tendency to fatten, tho order of tho
aptitude to fatten of the animals Just
named is exactly tho same as the or
der of tho smallness of the lungs.
Thus tho pig has the greatest tendency
nnd the hors6 tho least tendency to
fatten of all our domestic animals.
Thus, for Instance, a Chinese pig has
small lungs, nn Irish ono large; the
Chlncso pig fattens much moro quickly
than the Irish. The "disappearance"
of food from the system of an animal
is owing to the combustion of the food
by means of tho nir Inspired by the
lungs. Tho oxygen which has once en
tered tho system never again escapes
from it without being united either
with part of tho body or of tho food.
This statement mny be quite correct
with reference to the deposit of pure
fat. But the health and constitutional
vigor of any animal depend very much
upon healthy and regular waste
through the sk'.n and lungs. Excess
of fatty deposit in proportion to lean
fibre Is the very thing to which pork
curers object. Tho same thing holds
good for over-fed beet.
Developing New I'lanto.
We select seeds of certain plants
which come the nearest to our stand
ard of perfection. No two breeders of
any kind of stock have tho same ideal
standard in all particulars, so with
those who improvo plants. Our choice
shorthorns, draft homes, Merino sheep,
Essex swine, light Brahma fowls were
not brought to their present state of
perfection by mere good luck or acci
dent, but by the long and patient study
and experience of able men. The same
la truo of many plants, more especially
of plants which aro raised for tho
beauly of their flowers or foliage. It
Is not by accident that our green
housoii and gardens are so well sup
plied with choice roses, orchids, rho
dodendrons, azallas, camelias, pansles,
petunias, phloxes, dahlias, gladlola,
hyaclbths, tulips, pelargoniums, calce
olarias, asters, fuchsias, chrysanthe
mums. These nnd many others have
been produced by judicious labor in
breeding and cultivation. Tho poorest
aud thoso of medium quality were
weeded out; only a few of tho choicest
were saved. The work was divided.
One man devotes years of patient
work to certain strains of pelargon
iums; another to asters, roses or pan
sirs, and so on through the long list
of "Flora's sweetest treasures." Bur
bridge says: "From a houseful of fuch
sias, Mr. H. Cannel, who Is well known
for his new varieties of this favorite
plant, only obtains about a quarter of
an ounce of perfect seed, the value of
which cannot be calculated, as It Is
never sold." One innn raises 10,000 pe
largoniums, and each year for ten
years or more, and only gets half a
dozen a year fit to send out under a
name, and many of these aro soon re
placed by others. Choice strains of
cineraria and calceolaria and primula
seeds are worth $50 or $75 an ounce, or
$900 or even $1,500 per pound. Pro

Correspondent of "Green's Fruit
Grower" asks for information on this
subject. We have purchased paper
bags, he says, such as are used in gro
ceries and sold by the thousand at 30 to
40 cents. These bags aro longer and
larger around than tho largest cluster
of grapes when matured. We have
placed these bags over a cluster of
grapes when tho fruit was about tho
size of bird shot, or sometimes when
the grapes were as large as peas, pin
ning tho mouth of the bag around tho
base of the stem of the fruit as closely
as possible. No great skill Is required
In this operation. It is not necessary
to arrange for the entrance of nir In the
bag. but It Is well to pick a pin hole
In the bottom of the bag to allow water
to escape. The clusters of grapes that
we have bagged eeomed to ripen earlier
than those not so operated upon, and
tbeclusters were of marvelous beauty,
coloring beautifully, the bloom, of
course, being undisturbed by wind, or
bird, or Insect. Whether It is possible
on a large scale, depends upon the cir
cumstances. Ex.

It nny bo raBh to announce that any

writes tho Paris correspondent of the
London Standard, but the communica

de Medicine by Dr. Baraduc is so as
tonishing thnt If ho had made it beforo
Dr. Itoontgen had rendered his discov
ery public, very few people would havo
been Inclined even to Inquire into tho
matter. Indeed, Dr. Baraduc affirms
that ho has succeeded in photograph
ing thought and he has shown numer
ous photographs in proof of his asser
tion. His ueunl method of proceeding is
olmple enough. The person whoso
thought is to be photographed enters
a dark room, places his hand on a
photographic plato and thinks intent
ly of the object tho Image of which he
wishes to see produced. It is stated by
those who have examined Dr. Barn
due's photographs that most of them
nre very cloudy, but that a few arc
comparatively distinct, representing
the features of persons and the out
lines of things. Dr. Baraduc goes fur
ther and tleclnrcs that It is possiblo
to produce a photographic image at a
great distance.
In his communication to the Acade

Into a new century, and the figures

will bo exchanged for 1900. When this
time comes, can we abbreviate the year

BRYAN'S EDITORIALS.
GOOD CAMPAION LITERATURE
FROM THE WORLD-HERALD.
"Anarchy Una No l'lare In ThU Conn
try" The llecret Itund Ileal Kxpoied
Defender of tho 1'ersecuted Salva
tlonltti To the llankeri.
Editors aro not as a rule great ora
tors and vice versa. Candidate Bryan
combines the two forces as wltnesseth
somo of hla famous editorials which
have appeared from time to time In tho
Omaha World-Herald. Hero are n few
of them.
"Anarchy Win No Vines In ThU Country."
The following editorial, which ap
peared on Nov. 11, 1895, was written by
Mr. Bryan:
"The Anarchists in Chicago did not
hold memorial services over the graves
of those of their comrades who were
executed for participating in tho Hay
market riots. For seven years it has
been their custom to hold exercises of
this character in Wnldholm Cemetery,
where the remnina of their misguided
friends nre buried, but the directors of
the cemetery thl3 year refused to per
mit it. It seems harsh to prohibit a
tribute by tho living to its beloved
dead, but In this case the action of the
directors was justifiable. These annual
gatherings have not been those ol
genuine mourning, but tho participants
have used the place and occasion to
teach their doctrines and to stir up an
animosity against tho law and its
officers.
"Anarchy has no place In this coun
try, either in tho busy walks of life
or in tho quiet city of tho dead.
Anarchy is an enemy to peace,
to society and to happiness. It
Is not to bo tolerated in any
country. Much less has it nny cause for
existenco or toleration in this county,
nnd its friends and devotees cannot
use the sacredness of the grave as a
meanB for spreading their unwholesome
doctrines nnd to stir up new strife
against tho law that accords to even
the teachers of arson and assassination
a fair and impartial trial before a Jury
of their peers."
Tho Secret Hond Ilenl of February, 181)5
Editor Bryan attacked the secret
bond deal arranged by Mr. Cleveland
and Mr. Carlisle with J. Pierpont Mor
gan in an editorial on March 4, 1895.
He said:
"Tho enormous bonus that was given
the Rothschild syndicate to take tho last
issue of bonds may prove, after all, to
bo ono of the best Investments the
people have mado In many a day. Tho
deal reveals the cloven foot of a politi
cal syndicate which undoubtedly has for
its purpose the expenditure of foreign
money to carry tho next presidential
and subsequent presidential elections in
the Interest of foreign and home capi
talists, and the money tho people have
paid to get a glimpse of thlB enemy
of our institutions will have been well
and profitably invested If it causes them
to rlso In their might and send the
American end of tho conspiracy to its
political grave. There is no doubt
whatever that the Rothschild syndicate
will mako its bond holdings an excuse
to employ agents to Influence nominat
ing conventions that neither p rty shall
designate a man for the presidency who
cannot bo brought under the syndicate's
influence. It is apparent that not a
stone will be left unturned by Wall
street and London to fasten upon the
country at the next election an admin
istration that is committed in ndvance
to the gold standard. Every move ot
tho monometnlllsts In this country and
Europe indicates as much, and when
once monometallism is firmly fastened
about the necks of the people, eastern
nnd foreign capital will be the people's
taskmaster. Farmers, mechanics, la
borersthe common people think they
already havo greater burdens than
they can bear, but if these bond syndi
cates get control of the government
tho people will have to make bricks
without straw. As an eye-opener, there
fore, the bonus paid the Rothschild
combine Is not too great If the peoplo
will act now that their eyes aro open."
Advocated the Initiative and Refer
endum. On April 28, less than three months
ago, Mr. Bryan editorially advocated
the "initiative and referendum." Here
are Mr. Bryan's words:
"The principle of tho initiative and
referendum is democrats, it will not
bo opposed by any aggravation of the
tendency which has been observed for
the last generation. Great inequality
In wealth fosters social and political
inequality and arouses class prejudices
when great accumulations aro found to
arise from unjust legislation. Tho
main contention of some our financiers
is that wo should so arrange our mone
tary system as to continually Increase
the Investment of foreign capital among
ub. The World-Herald believes that it
is better for the government to furnish
a sufficient supply of money to do tho
business of the country than to depend
upon borrowing abroad and paying in
terest upon it. There is an economy in
exchanging that which wo can produce
at a low cost for something which wo
can only produce here at a high cost.
That Is tho principle which lies at tho
foundation of nil commerce between
Individuals and between nations. But
thero can be no Justification for a
financial system hi this country built
upon tho theory that the more money
we borrow abroad the bettor we are off,
nnd which permits the sale cf a few
American securities in London to create
a panic In this country."
Mr. Bryan closed bio editorial by de-
I clarlng that tho only remedy for our
! present financial ills was independent
! nnd free coinage of silver and the issue
i by the federal government of whatever
I paper money is needed to preserve sta
bility In tho purchasing por.-er of tho
dollar.
Defense of the Fatvntton Army.
In July, 1895. the Salvation Army
seemed to Interest Mr. Bryan ami he
wroto an editorial defending iL He
said:
"Tho Salvation Army 1b not a nui
sance. It is 'noisy,' but Satan Is a rather
noisy fellow himself, nnd no one can
object If theso people chooso to 'fight
the devil with fire.' If It 1b
'a noisy crowd,' tho noise will never in
duce any man or woman to do wrong,
and there nre thousands of instances
where this 'noise' has Induced many
persons to quit their meanness. Such
nn organization is entitled not only to
respect but to the earnest co-operation
of every good citizen."
When tho newspapers of the country
announced that President Cleveland
and Senator Hill had reconciled their
differences. Mr. Bryan wrote a long
editorial, in which ho used these
words: "Whom gold hath Joined to
gether let not man put asunder."
Spreading the Truth.
Occasionally Mr. Bryan addressed tho
readers on the subject of tho World
Herald's circulation in this stylo:
"Will you help to Increase the in
fluence of this paper? If you like tho
paper ask your neighbor to subscribe;
if you havo a friend who Is honest, but
In error, send him n copy of the paper.
The moro readers the paper has the
more good It will do. Will you try to

Free Silver, l'opullum and Democracy
Perhaps the most characteristic edi
torial written by Mr. Bryan was his re
ply to the statement that free silvcrlsm
and populism had killed the democratic
party: It wns printed Feb. 16, 1895.
"The cry that tho democratic party is
dead Is tho cry of the enemy, of the
coward and ot tho traitor. The demo
cratic party is not dead, nor Is It asleep.
When tho democratic party dies demo
cratic principles will dio, and in tho
same grave will be buried the hope of
humanity, the incentive to work for a
broader and better plan of existenco
and tho power to go from strength to
strength in advancing and maintain
ing llborty and freedom. The princi
ples of Jefferson, of Jackson and of
Lincoln tho same all are the heart
and the soul of every government by
and for the peoplo that now Is or ever
will be, nnd, moreover, they are tho life-"
blood which courses through the ar
teries of liberty and make the all
powerful agency in the mighty work
of lifting mankind Godward. Man
may bo born and man may go hence,
and nations may be established and
nations may be overthrown, but tho
principles of democracy aro of God
and they must return to him bearing
in their arni3 a perfected humanity.
The onwnrd way of theso principles
has always been and always will bo
more or less Impeded by the Judascs
of tho world, but the right always pre
vails tho people triumph ultimately.
It Is true that the democratic party
the custodian and proclaimer of theso
principles of human progress Is for
tho moment wrenched and torn by,
fierce onslaughts from daggers In tho
hands of members of Its own household,'
who, like Benedict Arnold, were caught
In the act of selling their fellows for
British gold, but they havo made their
own graves deep and wide in the mo-'i
rasse3 of their' own treachery, and there
is no inclination anywhere to hinder
the operations of the law of retribu
tion." Ilryan and the Hanker.
Tho last editorial written by Mr.
Bryan appeared on July 1, nlno days be
fore he was nominated. It was an
answer to the charge made by the
Atchison Globe that he had advised tho
people to always oppose the bankers.
Tho following extract contains the
germ of Mr. Bryan's argument:
"Tho banker Is a man, nothing moro,
nothing less, and his opinions are en
titled to all duo consideration. But no'
man should permit another man to do
his thinking for him. There aro many
bankers who are sincere and consistent
bitmetallistb. There are others who are
sincere gold bugs. Thero are some who
advocate the single gold standard when
thoy do not believe its preservation will
be beneficial to the country, but for
reasons best known to themselves they
adhere to the advocacy of that standard..
Tho opinions of all bankers ure entitled
to unusual consideration because of
their experienco in financial matters,
but the banker must be able to back
up his opinion with logic. Because
the banker has had wide experience In
money matters Is no reason thnt an
other man should believe tho banker's,
mere statement that black is white,
particularly when tho other man knows,
that black Is not white."
A Hold Trmt.
To tho Editor of the World: I am
opposed to the use of the Government
machinery to force up tho price of
gold, because I stand with The World
in opposition to trusts and monopolies.
The welfare of the masses was never
more seriously threatened than It 'Is
now by the powerful syndicate which
has been operating in this country and
in Europe to corner gold and keep It
cornered. A WORKER.

To the Editor of the World: If our
silver dollnrs aro only worth 5u cents
now I cannot see how freo coinage Is
going to hurt the wcrkingmen, as you
say they will bo worth 50 cents then.
I am a laborer, and all tho money r
got, 13 silver. Give us moro silver. I
am a poinocrat; not n Jim Smith or
Brlce. or Gorman cr Hill Democrat.
