THE CASH GROCERS. V. Masvy In l'rtriwMlv Kiriix-r. A veterinarian stopped me on the street to-day to show me a ball he had taken from a horse. It was rather larger than an ordinary base ball and he said that in a post-mortem examination he removed eleven such balls from one horse, in which they had burst the intestines. He said that the crimson clover hay the horse had been fed had been cut as soon as in bloom, and in the balls there was no appearance of the stiff hairs that form on the heads, but the ball was made un of felted layers of very fine material like the hairs that cover the entire plant. ; He showed me a part of one ball that he had cut open, and thissshowed layers of felt as tough as arvohlinary felt hat, and not a sign of stiff blos- Some time ago another veteririary practioner in this State told me that he thought that the advice in re gard to cutting early was wrong, and that it is not the blossom hairs that injure the horses, for that in his practice he had found the early cut clover more dangerous than that allowed to get'more ripe. It seems .evident that we must fight shy of crimson clover as horse feed, i In the case first cited a. very valuable horse wa3 killed, and killed by clover that was cut early; too. Then, if the early-cut clover Is dan gerous to horses, the later cut should be more dangerous, and it seems to me to be tne part 01 wisdom to abandon crimson -clover as a food for horses. ' For ruminating animals it will probably do no- harm, but those who Have made crimson clover hay should be very cautious indeed in feeding it to horses. As a rule, I dislike to use a good feed crop as manure direct, ,but in the case of crimson clover, we have a crop that comes at a season when the curing is difficult, and it is the hardest of all the legumes to make into good hay. But as a green ma nure crop, to be followed by a hoed crop like potatoes or cotton or corn, it has a great value, and I ' would rather advise its use in this way than to run the risk of killing valuable horses by feeding it. Uoming in as a catch crop sown among corn, -it certainly makes valu able soil cover in winter, and a crop that will largely increase the crop planted after its turning under in the spring. I have heretofore been inclined to value crimson clover mainly as a soil improver and am more than ever impressed with the necessity of using it in this way from what I have seen to-day. But it is too valuable a plant for this pur Dose for anv farmer to neglect it and it is well worth growing even we do not make hay of it. To the dairyman, the hay will be perfectly safe if he can make it right. And there is the greatest difficulty I have ever had, for while I can easily make the best of hay from cowpeas, I have never had satisfactory success in try ing to cure crimson clover. cost $4, exclusive of labor. An in4 crease of 5 to C bushels of wheat ii WAS. .-ft . - M l . . " I ' injuucu iu pay jor trie lerunzer. In 4 of the serial tests the increase in yield from the use of the potash was 5 bushels or more. Nitrogen, as nitrate of soda, when used alone, gave no noticeable increase except in two cases. The complete fertilizer applied at the rate of XX) pounds per acre gave an increase of 2 to- 9! bushels in II of the trials. In no' case was the increase sufficient to pay the cost of the fertilizer. $8 40. ti 6 of the 11 tests aoDroximafelv this same increase was secured from tne phosphates used alone and cost ing $2 5G per acre, and in 4 of the 11 trials the increase was secured from the potash alone. costing! less than half as much as the complete fertilizer. i In 8 seris of exneriments with Wirnthere was only one case where theincreased yield paid for the ferti lizer, it would appear that corn is not at present a crop upon which commercial fertilizers can be advan tageously used. j On old wheat landsDhosnhatri and potash fertilizers can bemused td bet ter advantage than either iiitroaren alone or. a complete fertilized. If clover is seeded with wheat that nasi received a dressing of potash or phosphate fertilizer often a better crop of clover results, and thui ad ditional value is secured front the fertilizer. In the building up of old wheat lands the.-first thing is to determine by trial on a small iscale the extent to which commercial fertilizers increase the yield. In case the increase is sufficient to pay for the fertilizer -it should be used, as the influence upon follbwiner crops will be more than sufficient to pay for the labor. commercial rertiiizers be used in connection with crop rotation, farm manures and : clover - production rather than as the only means of increasing fertility. When jtadici- e r recorded a more unusual occur rence than the one the facts of which are related below. Early in the spring a mule belong ing to Mr. T. B. Wall, who lives six miles north of town, was injured in some way so badlyj that it has not since been able to do work of any sort. The mule was an excellent an imal arid Mr. Wall has taken good care of it, hoping that it would re cover sufficiently to be worked. uesday morning Jackson Allen, col ors!, who works for Mr. Wall, went to the stable where the 'mule was kept to water the animal. The mule, while coming out of the stable tell on the -threshold of the door, .its head and forelegs being on the out- de of the door and its hind legs in the stall. The mule not being able to rise, Allen and Sid Mask, another colored man who lives on the place. attempted to assist the animal to its eet. After several efforts with this end in view Allen started to walk around the mule's head when, just as he raised his right foot from the ground, opposite its mouth, the ani mal made a vicious lunge at him and seized the bottom of his right foot in its mouth Allen was almost thrown to the ground by the force of the impact. but the mule held on until he had bitten off at least half of the bottom of the man's foot. The mule did not spit the-fjesh out of its mouth but ate and swallowed it with apparent relish. The mule has never before shown any signs of being vicious, and after he had bitten the man thexpression out oi us eyes was as benign-and in nocent as that of a lamb.

Nineteen series of experiments with fertilizers on wheat were made in different parts of the State. In 11 of these an increase of from 2i to 9 bushels per acre was secured from the use of 320 pounds per acre of an acid phosphate fertilizer, costing $2.56. An increase in yield of at least 3 to 4 bushels per acre is neces sary to pay for the fertilizer; in 8 of the tests such an increase was secured. In 10 of the serial tests muriate of potash gave an increase. Tho Knock-out Blow. The blow which knocked out Corbeti was a revelation to the prize fighters.

Garfield, Arthur, and Har rison, who had been 1 residents in his lifetime. With him the list of ex-Presidents ends. Before he became President Mr. Cleveland was Governor of New York, and while Governor be was chosen to the Presidency. Before he was Governor he was Mayor of Buffalo, and while Mayor he was chosen to the governship. Thus !he directly.stepped from the mayoralty into the governorship and from tjhe governorship into his first Presi dency. Before he was Mayor he wa Sheriff of. Erie County but sevcial years elapsed between the shrievalty and the mayoralty, and between t is two Presidencies four years, the tef-m of Benjamin Hanlin, intervened). Mr. Cleveland was elected Shef ff to restore to public respect an offi e that had fallen into corruption by a conspiracy or interest and purpose between the leaders of both parties in Erie County.
