TemperateMen in Demand.
I From the llaltliiiore AmorlcAn.
The work of today demands men
of clear brains for its performance.
It matters not whether that work be
in the oilice, counting room, the
legislative hall, the store, the shop,
the field or (he mine. The worker
who each morningbrings to his task
a strong mind and a steady nerve
will always find his services in de
mand, while tho onewhoallowB him
self to become the victim of an un
l)iidled appetite will soon discover
that, his place has been filled by one
who can do the work better than he.
Wliilo it is undoubtedly true that
excesses in the use of liquor are not
as common today as they were a
quarter or a half century ago, there
is still vast

for improvement,
and every effort in that direction de
serves tho encouragement of all who

Not a Bad Story.

Manchester Democrat.
Chaii man Shouts, of the Isthmian
canal commission, was praising a
foreign system of requisitions.
"The advantage of this system,"
lie said, smiling, "is that it works
both ways. It is like tho marriage
of the spendthrift poet.
"This poet made a great deal of
money, but, being extravagant, he
was always in debt. One August, at
the seashore, he wooed, won and
wedded a young woman of great"
wealth. Thereafter times were bet
ter with him.
"At breakfast, during the honey
moon, the bride said to the poet
tenderly:
'Does the fact that I have money,
dearest, make any difference to you?'
'To be sure it does, my love,'
the poet answered.
"She drooped a little, perplexed,
alarmed..
'What difference?' she asked.
'Why,' said he, 'it is such a com
fort to know that if I should die
y.iu'd be provided for.'
'And if I should die?' said the
bride.
'Then he returned, 'I'd be pro
vided for.'
Forgot What Electricity Was.
(From thQ Pvrtlftnd Orogoaian.)
A Denver newspaper devotes a
large space in an unavailing effort
to answer a correspondent's question
"Does anybody know what electricity
is?" As somebody has observed
that reminds us of a story.
There is now in Prineville, Ore.,
a lawyer who, some years ago, was
a college student back East. One
day in a class room the subject of
discussion was electricity. The
student had read all he could find
in his text book about electricity,
and considered himself primed for
the occasion. The professor opened
the ball with this direct question,
flashed peremptorily at this particu
lar student:
"Mr. Blank, can you toll us what
electricity is?"
Mr. Blank squirmed in his seat,
hemmed and hawed for a time, and
finally admitted:
"I did know, professor, but I've
forgotten."
The professor gazed at the student
with an expression of unspeakable
sorrow. Then he said sadly:
•'Mr. Blank, you do not know
what you have done Alas! what a
sad loss to science! You are the
only man that ever lived who has
known what electricity is—and you
have forgotton."

Compliments to Mr. Bryan.
An exercise in tho study ot style
and thought that sometimes affords
amusement is to choose a fine pass
age from some famous orator or
writer, suppress the name and sub
mit to the company the question,
"Who is the author?" We suggest
that those interested in oratory
and in the great topics of the time
should try this upon some passage
of a recent famous public utterance.
Take this for instance:
What is needed in legislation is
a vigilant and effective control of
corporation, so as to secure just and
equitable dealing on their part to
wards tlie public generally, toward
their smaller competitore and toward
the wage-workers in their employ.
Or take this:
The only way effectively to meet
the corporations is to give to the
executive department of the govern
ment a more direct and therefore
more efficient supervision of their
management.
Or again a third:
I believe that all corporations
engaged in interstate commerce
should be under the supervision of
the National Government.
MoBt people would say these ques
tions are from speeches delivered by
Mr. Bryan but they would be wrong.
They are extracts from President
Roosevelt's recent Chautauqua
speech.

Clover on a Run-Down Farm.
A Ulackhawk county, Iowa, sub
scriber sends tl.e following interest
ing communication: "I bought a
farm of HO acres that is all run
down and full of weeds. I would
like to have you tell me through the
columns, of the Farmers' Tribune
how to proc 1 to improve the land.
I have thought of sowing clover cut
the first crop and plow the second
crop under, but 1 do not know
whether it will pay to do this with
the present high price of ciover seed.
I don't like to sow mok-e than ten
acres each year, as clover comes
about the time when corn is ready to
lay by. Would it bo safe to sow
some clover on the oats stubble this
fall, and what variety would you
advise to sow? IIow should the
ground be prepared, and lioiv much
seed should be used per acre?"
Our correspondent will no doubt
be able to purchase clover r.eed next
spring at less than §10 per bushel,
but even if ho can not do so, we are
sure it will pay him lo sow ten acres
of clover each year with early oats
or barley as a nurse crop, or with
wheat if he experts to grow this.
Cut the crop of clover the following
year then plow it under in the fall
so as to get the ground in the best
possible condition for the corn the
following spring. In fact, wo would
advise our correspondent to sow
clover even if it costs $12 per bush
el. There is no crop that wo know
of which can be seeded in his locality
and which will bring up the fertility
of tho soil more qi.i kly than clover.
We would go farther than this, we
would advise him to
Beed
ten acres
in the way he mentions and in ad
dition seed ten acres or as many
acres more as convienent, and if he
can not make use of this for hay to
plow it up the first fall after seeding
iji the spring. Our correspondent
may be doubtful as to theeitmbrfiy
of this practice, but we have no hesi
tation in saying that he will oe
amply repaid for the trouble in a
greater yield of corn or other crops
in succeeding years.
About the best experiments we
have noticed along this lino were
carried on in Canada some years ago
by the Ontario agricultural" college.
An oat crop which followed a wheat
crop with which clover was seeded,
yielded 19 bushels and four poundE
more grain per acre than a crop
on similar land on which clo
ver had not been seeded. Oats
following barley and clover
yielded seven bushels and two
pounds more per acre than where it
followed barley without clover. In
another instance where oats followed
a different variety of barley with
clover the same results were obtain
ed. Oats with clover yielded ten
bushels and 30 pounds more grain
per acre than where it followed oats
without clover. In other words
there was an average increase in the
yield of the oat crop on the four
plots of over eleven bushels per acre.
Understand now, that the clover had
been seeded in the spring and was
plowed under with the stubble in
the fall.
The second year, after the summer
growth of clover had been plowed
under, there was an average increase
of eight bushels and 31 pounds of
oats per acre on the four plots men
tioned above. In other words, dur
ing the two years there was a total
increase of 20 bushels of oats per
acre, due to tlie plowing under
clover in the fall of the year that had
been seeded during the spring pre
vious as compared with land on
which clover had not been raised.
This to iia seems conclusive evidence
of tho great value of clover as a soil
improver.
Similar experiments were conduct
ed at the Ontario station in 181)3,
but on a larger scale. In this in
stance one-half acre fields were used
while the former results were obtain
ed on one-tenth" acre plots. From
oats on brome grass sod, on these
one-half acre fields, a yield
r,f
33
bushels and eight pounds were
obtained on pasture grass sod, ."ti
bushels and 10 pounds on pasture
grass with clover, 46 bushels and
four pounds and on pasture barley
with clover, 43 bushels and 28
pounds. In other words, there was
an average difference of ten bushels
and four poundB in favor of the crops
grown on the land on which clov
had been turned under.
Similar experiments were also
carried on with corn. The corn,
however, was used for fodder.
Where corn followed clover there
was an increase of JO per cent in the
yield in some instances and the
average of 18 experiments carried
on during three consecutive years,
showed an increase of nearly four
tons of green corn per acre per year.
If his soil is clean and it contains
plenty of moisture it may pay our
correspondent to disc his oats stubble
and seed clover this fall, but-the
moisture question is an important
one and milesscunditioni are almost
ideal he had better wait until next
spring and seed it with a nurse crop
as stateil above at tlie rate of from
eight to ten pounds per acre. If the
land lias grown clover before, eight
pounds will bo sufficient if it has
not, ten pounds is not too much. In
regard to the variety to be used, we
are unable to say, ns our correspon
dent lias given us no information in
regard to his soil. If his soil is
rather droughty and very poor, we
ivoulil advise him to sow mammoth
clover. If, however, it is simply
weedy and not particularly run
down and if it is well drained we
would advise him to sow common
red clover. If on the other hand
the land is rather low and poorly
drained, it may be a good plan to
suw alsike clover. In case alsike is
used, however, only one-half the
amount of seed per'acre is needed
as alsike clover seed is much smaller
than the seed of either of the other
two mentioned. As a fertilizer and
soil builder wo do not regard alsike
equal to either the mammoth or tho
common red variety.
While we have recommended
seeding clover and plowing it under
in the fall, wo do not consider this
the most ecnomical way of building
up the soil. We believe it is better
to allow it to grow for a year cut a
crop of hay off from it and perhaps
pasture the second crop somewhat
before plowing it under, but sinco
our correspondent does not want
inore than ten acres of clover hay
per year, he ought to treat part of
his land in the manner mentioned.
It is surprising that there are still
so many people who do not fully
realize the value of clover. They
realize that it is a good crop, but
put off seeding it for fear it will
freeze out once in a while. Even if
closer does freeze out during the
first winter once in five years, and
tho crop must be plowed up the
following spring, as can be seen
from the experiments reported above,
it will still more than pay for the
seed and labor of seeding it.—

The Difficult Peralmi Tongie,
Of the difficulties lu the language of
Persia a traveler writes: "The Mtords

ly different from those used conversa
tionally, aud those In an ordinary
prose history are again different. Then
It Is almost Impossible to distinguish
the tenses, and, lastly, the adjective
Is generally indistinguishable from the
substantive, and the link between an
adjective and the term which It quali
fies is the same as the sign of the pos
sessive. For instance, the text, This
is my beloved BOU,' may be read in the
Persian Bible 'This Is the son of my
beloved,' without the slightest violence
to the grammar."
