CRIMSON CLOVER.
Information About Preparation of
tlie Soil, Seeding, Etc.
Crimson clover can be sown dur
ing the late Bummer or fall, either
by itself or at the last working of
corn or ootton, Advantage should
always be taken of a favorable sea
son for seeding this crop, as it
sprouts very quickly and easily.
When sown by itself, it is better al
ways to prepare land intended for
Crimson clover as early as can con
veniently be done, and then wait for
a good rain. As soon as practicable,
after a rain, run a light harrow over
the ground to break the crust of the
soil; then sow the seed and oover
with a smoothing hsrrow, brush har
row or roller. A great many of our
truckers make it a rule to seed Crim
son olover on all vacant land as soon
as the orops are taken off. It is not
at all neoessary to replow for Crim
son clover; in fact, it is better not, if
the land is reasonably clean and not
too hard or oompaot. Running a
cutaway or sharp-toothed harrow
over the land will, a* a rule, give
sufficient preparation on land where
orops have recently been taken off,
and better stands will be secured
than if the land is freshly plowed.
One of the principal reasons why
OrimBon clover sometimes fails to
give satisfactory stands is on ac
count of being sown on freshly
plowed land, which does not seem
to be oompaot enough to proteot the
little rootlets against the hot, dry
spells whioh we sometimes experi
ence in the late Bummer fend fall,
and on this account it is much bet
ter to seed on land that has been
plowed sometime previous to seed
ing.
In addition to its great value for
pasturage, early green forage and
hay, Crimson clover is unquestiona
bly one of the best Boil improvers
the farmers oan use. It not only
adds to the fertility of the soil, but
puts the land in excellent condition
for the orops whioh are to follow it.
It also prevents the winter leaohing
of land, conserves its fertilizing con
stituents, and will increase the quan
tity an'd quality of crops following
it, wherever it is grown. Its use is
increasing very rapidly, and it is on
ly a question of its merits becoming
fully known, when it will be appre
ciated and considered as one of the
most* important orops for farmers
everywhere.
The value of Crimson clover for
pasture alone should comnr end it for
universal ubo, as it furnishes more
and better pasturage during the late
fall, winter and early spring than
any other crop. Wherever sown
largely for pasturage, the sowing of
rye or barley with it will prove of
deoided benefit. The crop can be
grazed during the winter, the cattle
or shedp taken off at the end of
Maroh, and a full crop made after
wards, which oan also bo used for
hay or green feed, and then it will
leave the land in very muoh better
condition than before the Crimson
. olover was sown.
Sow at the rate of one peek (15
pounds) to the aore, and, where
practicable, sow at different times
instead of sowing the whole orop at
one seeding, as in some seasons the
earlier seedings give best results,
while in other years later seedings
do the best.. It can be seeded from
first of July to middle of October,
making its full orop early the fol
lowing May, so that the crop can be
taken off or plowed under and fol
lowed by corn or other summer
crop, the yield of whioh will be very
muoh increased when following a
crop of Urimson olover. The seed is
low in price this year, and as it costs
very little to seed per apre, it should
be more largely used than ever be
fore.
The resignation of the Earl of
Hopetoun as governor general of

What Credit is Based On,
Many young men, beginning a
business career for themselves, make
the mistake of supposing that finan
cial credit is based wholly upon
property or capital. They do not
understand that character and relia
bility combined with aptitude for
one’s business, and a disposition to
work hard, are far more important
assets to have than millions of dol
lars. The young fellow who begins
by sweeping out the store, and who
finally becomes a clerk, manager or
superintendent by his energy and
reliability of character, does not find
it difficult to seoure a credit to start
in business for himself. On the oth
er hand, jobbing houses are not in
clined to advance credit to the man
who, though he may have inherited
a fortune, has shown no capacity for
business, and is of doubtless charac
ter.
The young men who start for
themselves, on a small scale, are
more energetic, work harder, are
more alert, are quicker to appreciate
the ohances of the market, and are
more polite and willing than those
with large capital.
The credit men in jobbing houses
are very quiok, as a rule, to see the
success qualities in prospective buy
ers, and seldom make mistakes in
their estimate of what credit is safe
to extend.—O. S. Marden, in May

The Population of Cuba.
Ouba has a mixed population. The
latest census of the island was taken
in 1900 under the direction of the
United States military government.
The total population was return
ed as 1,572,797, including 815,205
males and 757,292 females.
There are 447,372 white males
and 402,926 white females of native
birth.
The foreign whites number 116,-
760 males and 26,458 females.
There are 111,898 male negroes
and 122,740 female negroes. The
negroes constitute, therefore, but 31
per cent of the population.
The mixed races number 125,500
males and 145,305 females.
There are 14,694 male and 103
female Chinese.
Of the total population, according
to citizenship, 20,478 are Spanish,
1,296,367 are Cuban, 175,811 are in
suspense, 79,526 are of other citi
zenship, and 616 are unknown. The
Spanish by birth number 129.240,
Of the children ten years old and
over, 49,414 have attended school.
Of the total population, 443,426
oan read and write, and 19,158 have
a superior education.
Any girl desirous of achieving
fame and riches can do so by fol
lowing the example of Miss Sallie,
Heard, of Thomasville, who is doing
both in fashioning ordinary corn
shucks iuto hats. Her hat has been
patented, and iB now on the market
in Georgia. The hats are manufac
tured in Thomasville by girls and
women, and give employment to
some fifty workers at present, while
the demand is rapidly increasing,
and Miss Heard and the enterpris
ing manufacturers bid fair to make
a big hit and financial success with
these hats.—Exchange.
The Way cross Herald sounds this
note of warning: “The end of the
world may be nearer than we sup
pose. We ai’e no pessimist and do
not hunt trouble, but it may be that
the whole business will be blown
sky high in less than a week. In the
meantime wouldn’t it be a good
idea for delinquent subscribers to
pay what they owe the Herald?
Don’t let the end of the world find
you indebted to the long-suffering
newspaper man, for then it might
go bad with you.”
During last year the American Bi
ble Society distributed more than
,700,000 Bibles, the majority of the
istribution being in foreign lands.
The society is eighty years old.
Since it began the great work it has
distributed nearly 71,000,000 Bibles.

his proposition agrees to give about
twice as much as he does, and that

ATLANTA SUNDAY JOURNAL.
Another Pieoe of Superb Enterprise
on the Pure of the Great Atlanta
Paily—First Appearance
June 1st.
The Atlanta Journal announced
last week its purpose to begin on
June 1 the publication of a Sunday
morning edition. This announce
ment carries with it the assurance
that the Sunday Journal will be one
of the most complete, comprehensive
and attractive papers published in
the entire country—for it is well
known that whatever this great
southern newspaper undertakes it
executes perfectly.
The Journal argues that the pub
lication of its Sunday morning edi
tion is made necessary by the grow
ing demand for the Journal on Beven
days of the week instead af six—in
other words, a demand for a news
paper that gives all the news all the
time.
The Journal , has gone about the
preparation of its Sunday edition
with the same spirit of enterprise
and liberality of expenditure that
has made the Daily Journal the
most popular and universally read
newspaper in the south. It has not
only installed a new $42,000 press,
but has at enormous expense sup
plemented its already magnifioent
news service (that of the Associated
Press, admittedly the best on earth)
with the special cable service of the
New York Herald, the most perfect
foreign news servioe in existence, to
gether with all of the best special
Sunday features of the Herald, the
same to appear simultaneously in
that paper and the Sunday Journal.
In addition to this its own corps
of special writers will embrace some
of the best known names in the
country; among them George Ade,
Peter Finley Dunne, Bishop Cand
ler, Sam P. Jones, Mrs. Felton, Rev.
George G. Smith, the historian, and
nuinerms others. Its social news
and religious departments will be
special features, while its colored
comic supplement will be the equal
nf any, and the first ever issued by a
Georgia Newspaper.
I? be Sunday Journal will be sent
t • regular subscribers of the daily at
12 oents per week—or for the small
additional cost of 2 cents per week.
Or it 'will be served by newspapers
at 5 cents per copy.
It goes -without saying that this
new piece of enterprise on the part
of the Journal, meaning, as it does,
greatly increased service at a mini
mum of increased cost, will largely
increase the circulation and useful
ness of that great newspaper.
The mother who would be horri
fied at the thought of letting her
daughter wander away to a strange
country without guide or counsel,
yet permits her to enter that un
known land of womanhood without
counsel or cauntion. Then, in uttor
ignorance, the maiden must meet
physical problems whose solution
will affect her whole future life. Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription has
been well named a “God-send to
women.” It corrects irregularities
and imparts such vigorous vitality
to the delicate womanly organs as
fits them for their important func
tions. Many a nervous, hysterical,
peevish girl has been changed to a
happy young woman after the
use of “Favorite Prescription” has
established the sound health of the
organs peculiarly feminine.

21 one-cent stamps to pay expense
of mailing only. The same book of
