BUR CLOVER A GREAT CROP t Has Many Good Qualities and N Bad Ones?Saving the Seed Crop. progressive Farmer. Please allow me to say a word abou >ur clover. In some respects it is th( nost valuable plant in the south, im sure if Its merits are ever gener illy known that everybody will gTov t extensively. There are so many good things t< ay about this plant that I will no ittempt to enumerate all of them fere are some: 1. It is a most excellent winte grazing plant. All kinds of stock wil sat it and thrive on it It will usual); >e ready to graze early in the winte: nd furnishes abundant growth till it eeding time in May. Sheep raisini vould be profitable when we grow bu: lover extensively. 2. It is one of the easiest plants t< >ropagate. It is a lazy man's clover fou may graze it all you please am lave seed left for a stand. It grow inywhere. Just throw the seed ove he ground and harrow lightly if yoi vish. Where you let the seed ripen >lant to any crop and in the fall a dm tand of clover will come. Buy you eed to start with and expense fo eed is at an end. An acre or twi vill furnish seed for a farm. 3. It is a paying money crop, am vill be for years to come. Last year ny first year in charge of Lethe Agri ultural seminary, we gathered fron ess than two acres over J300 wortl ?f seed. This year was too dry a eeding time, and yet we gathere< learly 1,000 bushels. Even thougl he price should be greatly reduced t would net more money per acre thai orn or cotton. 4. It is a nitrogen-gathering plant ,'orn or cotton or other crops plant d in May where clover has beer ;rows as if you had put a half toi if fertilizer to the acre. 5. It only occupies the ground hal ho war and that half when the lam s not generally in use. From May t< September you can cultivate in othei :rops, so long as you quit plowinj urly in September to give the clovei l chance to set again. These are a few good points. I here are any bad points I do no mow them. It is never a pest, beinj asily killed. The seed are gathered in May 01 une. We rake off the dead hay, the eed falling to the ground, then sweei hem up with street-sweeping brooms n cleaning we pass them over a fine nesh screen to sift out the sand, anc hen over a larger mesh to separate eed from hay, stones, etc. Our 1' oys and 12 girls easily gathered leaned and sacked 100 bushels a day nd most of them are small children H.

A list of killed, wounded and prisners on both sides in the great war ,-hich is said to have been reported t( he French senate, is obviously noi official," as stated, and there are reaons to believe that it is deliberate); added. The list is not official, beause the government's policy is one f reticence about its losses, and a toil of 460,000 French killed in actior r died of wounds is given. And thes( gures cannot be right, because the tritish dead are declared to be 180,00, and in parliament but the othei ay Mr. Asquith announced that the tritish killed in action or dead ol rounds were 61,384 up to July 20, inluding 7,929 casualties in the nava ervice. Should the prime minister's forma tatement not be convincing, it is aparent that if the British, who ir 'ranee are defending a comparativey short lino of intrenchments and an raging the Dardanelles campaign noi lone, but with the French co-operaIon, have casualties of 180,000 dead he French total should be very mucl reater than 460,000. When we com< o the wounded we find that the ratic o killed is considerably less than twe 0 one. The total for the wounded ol he Triple Entente allies is said to b< ,580,000, while the sum of the killec 1 put at 1,739,000 or only 850,000 lesj illed than wounded. The compare.Ive figures carry their own refutaIon. As to the total of 100,000 Turk! illed, that is wild conjecture. Beause the Anglo-French troops generlly have taken the offensive in th< )ardanelles campaign, and the lates London bulletin gives the British cas laities of all kinds, killed, woundec nd missing, at about 40,000. Turning to the losses sustained bj he Teutonic allies and Turkey in th< rar this "official" list "submitted t< he French senate," incurs even mori uspicion, for the killed reach the stu endous figure of 3,350,000; th< rounded singularly are only a litth ilgher, 3,885,000; while the "missing' r prisoners in the hands of the ene uy are 1,795,000, being actually 600, 00 more than the missing of th< 'riple Entente allies, exclusive of th< talians. Thus a grand total of 9, 30,000 casualties for the Germans tustrians and Turks is achieved, oi veil on to twice the losses of th< French, British and Belgians, whicl re estimated at 5,463,000. The com arative totals, if on speaking termi rith accuracy, would portend the in vitable and early collapse of the Teu onic campaign on all fronts. It lsn' asualtics set forth, because Petro rad ha* had nothing to say about th< aatter for publication.?New Yorl lun. HAYTI iomething About the Country Wher Turbulence Ever Reigns. There is only one country in th< rorld where a white man cannot hol< and, just because he is white. Thi s Hayti, heavenly by nature and a hel pot by the wishes of its inhabitants rhich the United States marines' ri les now keep in better order than i las known for a hundred years. Mexico's history has been a recon if peaceful development comparec vith Hayti, where every man is a sol lier and every soldier a general, am rhere as many as seven distinct revo utions have been known to be goini >n under the leadership of as man; 'patriots" at the same time. When President Guillaume exeout <1 150 of his political opponents am ras himself dragged from the Frencl mbassy, murdered, and his body tori o pieces, he was but following the an ient Haytien tradition of savagery. Hayti is far different from Suntc Domingo, the other "republic" which occupies the eastern two-thirds of the Z island called Haytl and sometimes San Domingo. San Domingo was a Spanish colony. 0 The Inhabitants are mostly negroes and speak Spanish. Here foreigners are tolerated, if not liked. The United t States runs the custom house, pays e the interest on government bonds and j turns the balance over to the govern. ment. f Hayti was a French colony. The French language is used. The coun3 try hus a color problem, but not of t wnue ana oiacK. mere j? nvuii; w tween the mulattoes and blacks. At one stage of Hayti's history the mur lattoes set up a government In the I south and the blacks another in the y north. r God has been good in Hayti. Cos lumbus found here a smiling island, g inhabited by 2,000,000 Indians of the r gentlest disposition. Fruit and flowers abound, making j life easy. The trade winds drop their rain plentifully. The climate for the j most part is even, the temperature in 8 the hot months being more bearable r than in New York, j But the indolent negroes have suf( fered the fine buildings of the French 'Q cities to fall into ruins and live in r most miserable shacks. The streets r and the sewers are identical. They dejj pend on the rains to wash away the filth and as a result all centres of popj ulation are pest holes where whites , soon take sick and die. Hayti is about one-third the size of ^ New York state. Vessels for the Pan1 ama canal from New York will mostly t skirt its coast, giving it the chance for j great development?a future which it u will surely miss unless some outside hand holds down the wild fighting j blacks. Hayti is nominally republican, but in reality it has been ruled by a succession of tyrants. However, the peo! pie seem pleased with this form of j government. The so-called president keeps the laws or breaks them, ac f cording to his whim. The difficulties j of carrying out a government in the American manner appear almost inJ superable when it is considered that many of the high officials can neither 1 read nor write. Their main idea is to fill their pockets and eventually head j a successful and bloody revolution. t But the machinery of constitutional government is complete; there are ' ministers, a senate and a chamber of deputies. These bodies simply carry out the wishes of the president. If they balk, } the head of the state promptly sup^ presses all symptoms of disobedience, j or tries to. If he doesn't succeed, it is called a revolution and Hayti has > a new president. Supreme power incorporated in a strong man appeals to the imagination ' of the ignorant, superstitious Haytiens. The man who knows how to make his will felt becomes their hero even if he is unspeakably vile, corrupt and cruel. But these negroes, who boar with incredible wrongs and tyrannies from 8 their Illiterate masters, resent the mildest sway by those not of their own race and color. The lowest of the , people are as frantically opposed to > annexation by a white power as are t the upper classes. The feeling is due to the belief that r the white men seek to enslave them. . They still remember their frightful 5 state under the French planters and . their glorious war for freedom with i Toussant L'Ouverture, a black of ge> nius, as their leader. ; There are courts in Hayti, but their . justice is" uncertain. Murderers are imprisoned a few days and then let j go, while for some slight offense, or r none, a man who has incurred the en. mity of those in power must languish I in jail for years. The nature of the Haytien mass is I no better mirrored than in the hide. ous religion of voodooism, which is i believed to have been brought from . Africa. Few white men have seen ; these dreadful rites and escaped, t In the middle of the forest, the . blacks gather at night around a naked , priestess, who holds in her hand the i sacrifice. This is sometimes a rooster ? and sometimes the "goat without > horns," or a live human child. > The priestess plunges her ceremot nial knife into the body of the sacrii flee and then the worshippers seize it 1 and tear it to shreds in their hands. i An orgy of the most obsence sort en. sues. Cannabalism is one of the . counts against the voodoo worshipi pers, according to a number of relia. ble witnesses. 5 "JOHN APPLESEED'S" MONUMENT t - Ohio School Children Honor Memory 1 of a Pioneer. At last the memory of "Johnny Apr pleseed," nature's hortoculturist, mini ister, wanderer, strange, lovable man, 8 is honored with a monument. It was 3 unveiled July 28, at Ashland, Ohio, as " part of the Ashland county home-com3 ing. Although famed in story, verse 3 and tradition, before this there had been no tribute to "Johnny Appleseed" more enduring than the printed page. It was the school children of Ash3 land county who, with their nickles, 3 paid for this monument. Ashland * county was near the center of "Johnny . Appleseed's" activities in Ohio, which r duted from 1801 to 1838. 3 "Johnny Appleseed." whose real 1 name was John Chapman, was born in Massachusetts in 1775. At the age of s 26, by some curious turn of mind, he - decided to go into the great wilderness - of "The New Purchase" (Ohio) and t plant apple trees. He would go to the cider mills in the east, and from the s waste matter pick apple seeds. These { he would carry to the fruitful valleys in Ohio, and after clearing fertile spots along the rivers would start nurseries. From these rude nurseries, near which he would live in hollow trees, or in the very rudest shacks, he furnished the new settlers who were then comine e into Ohio, with apple trees. He helped * to start many orchards in the 4G years H he gave to this work. He was always ' the settlers' friend, often aiding them ' against the Indians, whom he did not * fear, often being able to best them in t knowledge of the great forests. He took little for his trees and seeds, and 3 wore discarded clothing of unusual ap3 pearance, shaping for himself coats - without arms from the old coats given 3 him. At his camp he lived chiefly up on maize mush, and had as cooking ? utensils only a kettle, spoon and plate. y He was an ordained minister in the Church of New Jerusalem, but never - preached, contenting himself with giv1 ing religious advice. Physically he was i small, wiry, thin, and went mostly i barefooted. He died in Allen county, - Ind., where the growth of Ohio's population had driven him, at the age of 3 72.?Ashland, O., Dispatch.

College students, he said, lack definite aim, and without this the mere prolongation of general education was a waste of time. A GLOWING TRIBUTE Why a Grateful Lad Would Like to Resemble His Father. In the American Magazine a boy makes a splendid tribute to his father, part of which is as follows: "Because my mother knew that from the day he first met her until she died or for all the days in fifty years, she was the woman he loved. I should like the woman I marry to know the same thing of me, all our lives. "Because he was gentle. Because he loved all flowers, In cool woods and in sunny fields and by dusty roadHldes, and brought them home, gathered into clumsy bouquest 'for Mother,' if she could not go herself to see them in the places where they held up their shy faces. Because he loved all children and let them climb over his shoulders and pull his hair. "Because his eyes twinkled and his face was jolly. Because he smiled at us children even In days when he was hiding black despair in his heart. "Because, .although his work kept him away from home for so many weeks at a time, he wrote Jolly letters every day to mother and us, making jokes out of icy winds and beds covered with snow that had drifted in through farm house windows and of all hardships. "Because he was deep-chested and strong, and because his strength came from work in the fields in such days as he could find no work in his own profession. Because he thought no work of his hands beneath him if it brought us food and shelter. "Because he talked to farmers and carpenters and to learned men and to diggers of ditches and to little girls and boys and to presidents alike, and all loved him. "Because he wore his overcoats for ten years and his shoes for two years and ealled his coat "as good as new, with a little fixing of the lining." "Because he thought no sacrifice of any importance if by it we were made to love more truly whatever is good and beautiful and true in life. "Because he used to put his arm around mother and tease her until her eyes twinkled and she said, 'Go away, boy!' "Because everybody missed him! when he went away Somewhere Else? and will always remember him. "That Lb why I should like to be such a man as he was." A POVERTY STRICKEN COUNTRY Dvinsk Guards Roads to the Russian capital. Duenaburg (or DvinSk), the principal gate guarding the road from the southwest to Petrograd and the key to the defense of the great Dvina river, through which the Germans are apparently aiming at interior Russia and all the line of military industrial bases in the west, is described by the National Geographical society as follows: "Duenaburg, on the northeastern bank of the broad Dvina, is the heavily fortified front door to Great Russia, that division of Russia which stands in the same relationship to the empire that Prussia holds to Germany. It is situated where the Dvina makes a sharp angle toward the west, midway on the river's course from Vitebsk through marsh and lake land to the opulent commercial and industrial city of Riga upon the Gulf of Riga. Th? line between Riga and Duenaburg is 110 miles long. By way of the river, it is considerably longer. The line from Deunaburg, eastsoutheast, to Vitebsk is 162 miles. This line roughly divides Great Russia from White Russia. "White Russia, to the south of the Duenaburg line, is probably the poorest, most backward part of European Russia. While some 6,000,000 acres of swamp lands have been drained within its water-soggy surface, its general aspect is still largely that of marsh, swamp, lake and spongy meadow and forest land. In general, the peasants of White Russia are very poor, and have a severe struggle to wage for their existence. One writer says that the memory which he held most characteristic of this land was the picture of a weather scarred, gray headed peasant standing waist deep in the chill waters of the marsh cutting sedge. This poverty-blighted country, where no great commercial, industrial or cultural center is to be found, is that which now lies before the German armies. Beyond the Great Russian front door at Duenaberg lies the richer industrial and agricultural country of the central empire, while west from Lemberg and Kholm lie the rich agricultural lands of Little Russia, or the Ukraine, and the great city of Kief. "Duenaburg is a fortress of the first class. It is also a fortress with traditions; for here in July, 1812, Napoleon's headlong troops, under the command of Oudinot, hurled themselves again and again in vain against the strongly defended bridgehead. It was not until some weeks later that the town was captured by the French under MacDor.ald. The city was originally founded as a fortress, in 1278, by the Livonlan Knights of the Sword. It was mortgaged by one of the grand masters of the order to the king of Poland; was overwhelmed by the legions of Ivan the Terrible of Russia; retaken by Poland in 1582; held alternately by the Swedes and Russians during the 17th century, and finally incorporated in the Muscovite realm in 1772. "The city is situated at the intersection of two main railway lines and a very important branch. These are the Warsaw-Vllna-Petrograd lines, the Riga-Vitebsk-Smolensk line, and the branch to the fortified Baltic port of Libau, the only port that Russia possessed before the war whose roadstead was always open. The main features of the city are its fortifications. It has a population of about 75,000, about one-half of which Is Jewish. Its industries include sawmills, flour mills, brick kilns, match factories, distilleries, tobacco factories and tanneries. It enjoys a moderate degree of importance before the war as a commercial center, doing considerable trade in grains, flax, hemp, tallow and umDer." Against the Time of Need*?That a practice resorted to by the desperate and foe enveloped Southern Confederacy should be repeated In the history of a vigorous and resourceful nation like Germany would have seemed incredible a few months ago. The recent appeal of the German minister of the interior to the apothecaries of the realm urging the gathering of medical plants as substitutes for important drugs that had become or were likely to become Inaccessible, brings vividly to the memory of those who lived in the south during the Civil war groups of women and children gathering yellow jessamine, green hellebore, sassafras, oak and dogwood bark. Today the German apothecaries are following the example by order of the government to collect digitalis and belladonna leaves, arnica and camomile flowers and other plants designated by the minister of the interior, to be laid away in proper manner against the day of dire need that may come from the isolation of Germany by the Allies. That the methodical system and foresight of the Germans in the piping time of peace are matched in their activities in war is evidenced by their not waiting for the dny of need but preparing in advance of its possible approach. Herein our people may learn a valuable lesson in apparently small matters.?New York Sun. The Horse. Since the beginning of the war in Europe one year ago, 80,000 horses which had been shipped from the United States have been killed upon the battlefields. This terrible slaughter has inspired Katherine Lee Bates to write the following which recently appeared in Life: What was our share in the sinning, That we must share the doom? Sweet was our life's beginning In the spicy meadow-bloom. With children's hands to pet us And kindly tones to call. Today the red spurs fret us Against the bayonet wall. What had we done, our masters. That you sold us into hell? Our terrors and disasters Have filled your pockets well. You feast on our starvation: Your laughter is our groan. Have horses, then, no nation, No country of their own? What are we. we your horses, So loyal where we serve, Fashioned of noble forces, All sensitive with nerve? Torn, agonized, we wallow On the blood-bemired sod; And still the shiploads follow. Have horses, then, no God? ' PELLAGRA Expert Says Dread Disease Can b? Wiped Out "Seeing is believing," and It is upon this basis that the United States bureau of public health has instituted a campaign for the absolute eradication of pellagra at the Epworth orphanage, in Columbia, S. C., according to Dr. Joseph Goulberger, head of the department of pellagra research of that bureau, says the Savannah who is stoDoiner at the De Soto hotel. This work at the orphanage at Columbia will take the form of a demonstration to those who have tried for the last eight years to do away with pellagra at this institution and have not succeeded. Instead of decreasing the number of cases each year, there were more at the end of last year than at any other time, it is asserted. Naturally," said Dr. Goldberger, in speaking of the cost of this undertaking, "it is going to cost the government some money, but it shows, when we agree to furnish part of the diet necessary for the treatment ol pellagrins, how thoroughly we are convinced that the disease is brought about solely by improper dieting, and because we are positive that with a well-balanced diet pellagra can be absolutely done away with. The work will be begun about September 1. Pellagra Not Contagious. "I can not emphasize too strongly the fact," said Dr. Goldberger, "that pellagra is not communicable. Ol course there are a number of its phases that have led many to believe that it was contagious or infectious, but from our studies covering a great period of time and carried on under all conditions, we are certain that there is nothing of a communicable nature to pellagra. "To further clinch the argument that pellagra cannot be communicated from one person to another take the results of our experiments upon the monkeys we have at the hospital. "We have inoculated these monkeye with every kind of disease and thoj take it rapidly, yet when we inoculate them with pellagra they refuse to take it. Smallpox, whooping cough, measles in fact, almost.every kind of disease has been tried on the monkeys and kovo altxrnvH hM>n stiscentible. bul with the pellagra there is nothing doing. By the fact that they do nol take pellagra, while they do take other disease, it is proven almost conclusively that pellagra is not communicable." "Own a Cow," Still 8logan. Dr. Qoldberger visited Savannah this time for the purpose of conferring with Doctors Ridlon and Francit on the work done out by them in the study of pellagra, and the making oi their report on their researches which will form a part of the reporl to be made by the bureau of public health upon the pellagra question. "However," said Dr. Goldberger, "the government is not going to wall until its report Is issued, before it tacklos pellagra and checks it, but It has secured enough practical result* from the studies mado of the disease to enable the bureau to go ahead in its campaign for the eradication of this disease. "Own a cow," is still the slogan ol the department of pellagra research and if farmers can be educated to the point where they realize that by owning a cow, keeping it In good condition, and using the milk derived therefrom, they are lessening the chances of their getting pellagra because ol their one-sided diet, the department believes that it will have done something towards stopping the ravages ol pellagra. Of course milk alone will not prevent pellagra, but when the farmer has milk, and eats meat and eggs instead of selling them to the city folks, he will never have pellagra, the experts say. Government Proscribes Diet. In describing the work to be done at the Epworth orphanage, in Columbia, Dr. Goldberger said it would be nothing more than the feeding of the 250 inmates of the institution on a diet prescribed by the bureau of public health. This diet, which includes foods of a varied sort and of high nutritious value, is the one that has been * * a * * ? * ??. tnatitutlnna tried on inmates ui umci uniKuuuuo In the country with the result that after a time, pellagra had been wiped out entirely. "Of course," concluded Dr. Goldberger, "just because a man who has pellagra decides to eat a rational or well-balanced meal once in a while, Is no sign he is going to get rid of the disease. The idea is to feed the patient on the diet for a fixed period of time and let him have nothing but this diet. Then when the treatment is over, the patient will be free from pellagra, but as long as he returns to the foods that he had been specializing on previous to his being given the government diet, he will lay himself liable to getting pellagra again. "The best plan," said Dr. Goldberger, "is to eat plenty of meat and eggs and drink milk. Do not eat too much of Just one kind of food and you will never have pellagra. Animals are given balanced rations to make them healthy and keep them in good condition?why shouldn't the same thing apply to the human being?" The Complexity of Russia.?Lithuanian writers are insisting that the I restoration of Poland must not be made an excuse for the Polonizatior of Luthuania. They demand for theii own country the same autonomy thai is granted to the Poles, and protesl vigorously against being included a* a helpless minority in a reconstituted Polish kingdom. Their alarm seems rather needless. Russia will not go oul of her way to increase the strength of Poland, and thereby invite an efforl on the part of Poles to break awaj from the Russian connection altogether. But the point is interesting as one more evidence of broad and deep lines of cleavage in a population which the careless onlooker from a distance sup| poses to be of one blood, tongue and purpose. Russia is by no means the highly unified organization which some seem to think. Everyone knows there are Poles and Finns among the czar's European subjects. The protest noted above reminds us that there are likewise Lithuanians and Letts?each numbering millions. There are also T till. T"> 1? ??

WOMAN AND THE HOME i Fact, Fashion and Fancy Calculatad to Interest York County Women. So many women who take the i greateab^are of their table silver, neglect their kitchen utensils. It is true that the latter are not as expensive as the former, but nevertheless they do cost money and enough of it, too. I Steel knives and agate or aluminum pots are much too high-priced to neglect. Carving knives and forks, in | particular, are expensive and require a deal of care to keep them In good order. Kitchen knives of steel need attention as well. Long stripe of cotton or outing flannel should be kept in the kitchen drawer, in which to wrap the , steel utensils after they are washed. One slip of the flannel will protect a i dozen knives. All steel knives need protection from the moisture in the air as they rust very quickly. Oood knives may be ruined in no time by rust. There are several ways to guard steel against rust. One of the most efficacious is to keep a deep box full i of dry sand on the shelf and put the ; knives in this when not in use. This i will not only keep them dry but will ; scour them nicely as well. Another 1 method is to rub each blade with a , clean cloth with olive oil before put. ting them away. This will leave a light coat of the oil, which will shut out moisture. Jellied Chicken. Cold boiled chicken can be prepared as Jellied chicken. Put an ounce of any good gelatine in a pint of warm water on the back of the stove and ' occasionally stir it until it is dissolved, ' then add a pint of chicken broth or I bouillon to it, season highly with salt { and pepper and strain it. Meanwhile | cut all chicken off bones, freeing from skin and gristle; put in earthen or tin mould, press it down, pour the j dissolved gelatine into the mould, , taking care to saturate the chicken | completely. Set a flat dish or a piece of board on the chicken with a weight ( on it and let it cool. When cold re, move from mould, slice and serve , cold. * * Some Uses for Salt. ? ; Salt puts out a fire in the chimney. I Salt in solution inhaled cures cold > in the head.

A writer in the New York Times thus describes the death of spring and the advent of summer: The earth is In half-mourning for the spring. She died, they say, of love?poor little thing! And so the earth hath edged her coat of green With palest purple, that it may be seen She mourneth. 'Twlxt her and the sky of May She lifts her lilac sunshade, that the day Peer not too gayly in her tear-stained face. Upon her breast she pins a purple flag. Symbol of grief?for since the sun did lag And not assume the ardent lover's place As she expected of him her fair child? Sometimes so wayward yet sometimes so mild? Sweet spring, hath died, alas! alas! of cold. Shed tears, oh rain, that she was thus undone! Now, that most beautlous drees of white and gold, Prepared for young spring's wedding with the srun, Is put aside, and in its place the earth. Her mother, wears these mourning colors; mirui And singing of the birds console her not, And Joyous June, her god-child, Is forgot Veiled In wisteria, she sits and grieves And heedeth not the counsel of the leaves Or admonition of the violet That nestles close and begs her to forget Her disappointment, and the poor dead past For summer, summer, summer coines at last!
