FULL INVESTIGATION IS INVITED Variety Of Clover To Sow. A Story county , Iowa , corre- spondeut has thirty-live acres of land which he wishes to seed down to clover and timothy. The land is Hat and is getting1 quite thin. He wishes to know which is the best to sow , com mon red or mammoth clove , and whether we would pasture it or cut it for hay. He also wishes to know which would be the best to cut for hay , and which would be the best to sow , using clover exclusively. Notwithstanding all that we have said upon the subject , the value and uses of the different kinds of clover seems not to be as yet fully understood by many of our readers. We have been talking on this subject for twenty-five years , but the con. stant influx of new subscribers ( greater this year than ever be fore ) renders it necessary to tell the same story over again , which our older subscribers will please excuse. For hay alone on well drained corn land we should consider the red clover by all odds the best. For wettish lands alsike is the only variety that should be used. We do not recom mend sowing mammoth clover for hay except on thin lands , as it grows entirely too rank on richer lands , and especially on bottom lands , to make good hay. Clover that under these circum stances will grow five feet high and lie down two or three times in a good season makes a very coarse hay , much of which the stock declines to eat. On thin ner lands , however , and sown with timothy , it makes as good a hay as any man could desire. We do not recommend sowing clover alone , whether it is in tended for either hay or pasture. Timothy should always go with it. In our own farming we al ways put alsike clover and tim othy on wet lands , and especial , ly on bottoms that need drain age. We use it , altogether in sloughs and swales that have not yet been drained. On rough thin lunds we use mammoth clo ver and timothy ; and on good , well drained corn lands in good heart we use red clover and timothy. On lands that have not been accustomed to growing clover we would sow eight , sometimes even ten pounds of common red or mammoth per acre. If , how ever the land has grown one or two crops , eight pounds is abundant and if the seed is well covered six is plenty. Usually we recommend eight pounds , because - cause we know that fanners generally do not take pains to get their clover sufficiently cov ered ; but thosu who know how to put clover on lands of that character do not need more than six pounds to the acre. In fact , if half of the six pounds grows the first year there is plenty. Still it is always wise to use plenty of seed. It is high time now that farmers were buying their clover seed ; and if they have any doubt about its germinating qualities , let them take a fair sample of one hundred seeds and germi nate them in a box in the house. You must not expect as good success in the field as in the house , about two-thirds as much. Neither must you expect the one hundred seeds all to grow , even if the germination be perfect , be cause there is a certain per cent of hard seeds in any sample of clover that will not grow until the second year unless soaked in warm water for twenty-four hours before sowing. This is not practical. Therefore figure that from one-fourth to one-third of your clover seed < will not grow the first year , hut will come on in the second year. Some ot our readers may ask : Why do you advise sowing tim othy ? For the simple rea.-on thtit clover itself does not occupy the ground fully , and you will get just as much clover the seed sowed is half timothy sis you will 11 you have it all clover. Timothy seed is cheap and timothy hay is valuable. Jiesides , li you should miss a stand ol' clover front any climatic reasons , you are still likely 10 geta very good stand of timothy. These first principals in clover growing may help our corre spondent to determine what he shall sow. Now And Then. The appeal of the local papers requesting the traveling public to use the stub trains is meet ing a ready response. The railroad company is delighted with the business and has so notified the people in authority here. This movement can be greatly aided by the traveling public in Verdon and Stella. We want to show good business between Palls Uity and Auburn and between \tlls City and Hiawatha , as this territory was neglected under the old sche dule. If the b'usiness between such places is satisfactory the new schedule will remain , other , wise the old one will he resum ed * ft -i If this telephone controversy cannot be settled otherwise and the present council refuses to act except in accordance with the wishes of the local phone company. Why would it not be a good idea to submit an ordi nance to the voters granting a toll station to the mutual com panies ? The Tribune believes that 90 per cent of the merch ants favor granting such privi lege to the outside companies and if the council will not act in accordance with the wishes of the people , the people might take the matter in their own hands and pass the ordinance by popular vote at the ensuing city election. * Every small ( town has its town row. Nearly every large town has one so far as that is con cerned. A town row is all right in its place , but the trouble is that some of the participants are of the small bore variety that persist in inserting it into anything and everything. The worst feature of a town row is theusesto which the small nar row fellows put it to. A town row has no place in anything concerning the welfare of a com munity. There ought to be a common interest in a city's pro gress that would eliminate all personal matters concerning other things. There are men , unfortunately , whose every act is prompted l > y their participa tion in factional trouble and who never go beyond the ques tion , what effect will it have on my enemy ? i * - * Apropos of this we give the following facts without com ment. The public library is an institution in which every right minded citizen feels a just pride and welcomes every opportunity to serve its interest. The pco- je | connected with this paper did all in their power with money and encouragement to make it a success from the time the walk was laid until to-day. Columns of matter looking to its progress have been published in this paper without price and from purely public spirited mbtives. During Ihe time that tickets were sold for a dollar the writer of this purcha-ed a good number and distributed them to those financial condi tion was such as to deny them the privileges of the library. Notwithstanding this , when bids were asked to print the library catalogue J. E. Leyda , who had charge of it , did not give The Tribune the opportun ity to bid. Again , a few weeks ago Mr. Leyda reported a pro position to the library board that hereafter when new books were purchased the list of the same should be furnished to the Journal and News and they should be paid one and one half ' cents per description. Of course the library board com posed of ladies and gentlemen of some breadth of character did not entertain an } ' such pro position and the name of The jTr/bune was added by the con sent of every other member of the board. A matter so small as this could not injure 'ihe Tribune , but it might have a tendency to injure the library. We cite it as an illustration of how a town row injures the city and not in a complaining spirit. * * * Thu weather for the past two weeks will put the fruit in great danger. The warm spring like days have caused the buds to swell and if , as is quite likely , cold weather should follow it will probably result in the total destruction , of the fruit pro spects. Speaking of fruit , we could never quite understand why a cold storage house in Falls City would not pay. Dur ing good fruit years the best uf apples sell at about thirty cents a bushel ; along in the spring the same apples sell for from a dollar and a half to two dollars a bushel. I'he cold storage man gets the profit. With as many apples as nre grown in Richardson County as well as the numerous other cold storage products , it seems to us that a plant would be a big pay ing investment right here in Falls City. Falls City is on the map in a good many ways of late. The lead iind , the stub trains and division prospects are making us a very much talked of com munity. We were right in it at the state meeting of the com mercial club * held in Omahu last week. The World Herald in speaking of the state conven tion said : "W. A. Greenwaldof Falls City led the discussions and made a most interesting talk on the future of the clubs in the state and their manifold duties. Mr. Green wald said : The commercial club is the logi cal organization. Commercial clubs should be the clearing houses of local prosperity. They should always be in readiness to beautify , work for country roads , local telephones , new en terprises in all things. " * * * Speaking of beautifying the city , would it not be a good idea for the Commercial club at its next meeting to appoint a committee to wait on the busi ness and professional men solic iting prizes for the best kept lawn ncxtS'iinmer ' ? The summer Henry C. Smith inaugurated the lawn prize movement was the prettiest year Falls City ever had. The lawns were in better trim anil town property looked better kept than ever before or since. Not a great many com peled but the influence on those who did not was salutary. No one will permit his yard to Ijt * . come untidy when his neighbor's yard is neat. The appearance of a city goes a long ways , and the appearance of Falls City can by greatly benefit ted by a lawn contest. Vf * - The decent element of Omaha seems lo have a'vakened to an appreciation of what the I'at Crowe farce is likely to do for Omaha. The Commercial club and all the womans clubs have met and resoluted and adjourn ed. The thing for Omaha to do is to go to the Polls and elect a decent city government and their resolutions willnotbc re quired. The great metropolis ot Nebraska la not hopeless. The decent men and women are in a majority , the only trouble has been their indifference. They have been too busy to take part in municipal affairs. They have delegated their rights of self government to the Denni- sons and the Crowes. If there ishope for New York as Jerome's election would indicate ; if there is hope for Jersey City as Mark Fagin's election would indi cate ; there Is hope for Omaha. enl } ' she must work out of her own salvation. * * The Crete Democrat that goes after the Journal crowd as "renegade democrats in the re publican party" and rips the paper up the back for saying the jury law is a farce , should not pet excited. The Journal usual ly gets in that frame of mind after every term of court where a jury is convened. It means nothing more than a temporary dissappointment of fond hopes and will wear oft in a short time. Errors of judgment that arise from goodness of heart can easily be forgiven. Y o r k Times.
