cause for that which I have not noticed. 
It does not seem to require any prepara¬ 
tion ; as far as I can see it does exactly 
as well whether the land is plowed or not. 
Where a seed falls you get a plant. 
Seeding itself this way I suppose you 
would get a good many seeds to the acre, 
but if I let it alone it would soon take a 
whole farm. On our farm, when in 
bloom, you could hardly force your way 
through the clover. Some places where 
it is doing well the soil is light sand. I 
should say it would grow anywhere. We 
have no clay on this farm. It is spread¬ 
ing very rapidly, notwithstanding the 
fact that the farm needs lime very badly. 
Our farm is in Lake County, Michigan, 
so you may feel sure it will do well in 
Michigan on the light soils. 
Michigan. H. w. MARSH. 
It. X.-Y.—Such a plant ought to he of 
great value to Michigan, and we hope 
Mr. Marsh is not mistaken in classing 
this as an annual Sweet clover. It may 
be that the new growth does not come 
from seed, but from the roots of the first 
year’s growth. The Michigan Agricul¬ 
tural College is investigating it. 
A MELANCHOLY looking man entered 
the establishment of a photographer. “1 
should like a picture of myself weeping 
beside my wife’s grave,” he explained. "1 
fear I have not the necessary accessories 
here,” said the photographer. Then he 
added facetiously: “Couldn’t we ar¬ 
range to have the portrait made at the 
Ifraive itself?” “Xo.” said the man; 
“that’s in New York State. It would be 
too expensive to go there. Just you fix 
up some kind of grave here in the shop. 
I could weep on that. It's no trouble for 
me to weep anywhere.”-—Everybody’s
