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 the commonwealth of Australia was noted in the cable dispatches a few days ago. The noble earl explains that he was forced to resign because he could not live on the salary of the office, which Is merely a beggar ly $50,000 a year.

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 Success. 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. >-0-4 Mr. Carnegie says that his plan of gifts to libraries is not one of phil anthropy.

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.
