THE Missouri Legislature is tryiug to pass a bill punishing tram robbers with death. That would be a good law.

TIIK judiciary committee of the Indiaua Legislature made a mistake wheu they reported adversely on the bill making the penalty for carrying concealed weapons $'•300, and from ten to thirty days in jail. Three fourths of the murders committed occur because a man is carrying a revolver, and then when suddenly provoked or in the heat of a quarrel kills a man and then regrets it afterward. Our present law is not enforced vigorously enough.

AMERICA'S LEADING REVIEW

To read The Forum is to keep in touch with the best thought of the day.

THE FORUM will take UP for discussion, during 1895, an unusually "wide range of timely and important topics by the most eminent writers in tlie fields of Politics, Finance, Sociology,

Literature, Religion, Art, and Science.

To be without The Forum is to miss the best help to clear thinking.

A catalogue of tlio writers "wlio liavo contributed articles to THE FORUM In tlie past would embrace practically every man of eminence in America, and most of those in JMirope. A list of subjects treated would cover in tlie widest degree all topics of contemporaneous interest.. THE I-'ORUIH is therefore of inestimable value to any one who desires to liecp closely in touch with the best of current thought.

THE FARMERS INSTITUTE.

SOME SPLENDID AND PROFITABLE SPEECHES—A SYNOPSIS OF T. B. TERRY'S SPEECH ON

CLOVER.

The Farmers' Institute is well attended this year, and Wednesday morning J. F. Coffin, the President, called the meeting t: order and a cordial address of welcome was delivered by Mayor Geo. W. Duncan, which was responded to by ex-Senator J. A. Mount, of Shacnondale, in his usual excellent and happy style

The Institute then adjourned until after dinner. The first address was by T. B. Terry, of Hunson, Ohio, a practical and successful farmer. He gave a speech on "Treatment of Clover," which was highly appreciated by those present, and said to be one of the best and most beneficial speeches ever made in this county. For the benefit of our farmer friends we give a synonsis of Mr. Terry's speech, bringing out some of the tin points, which, we feel will be of great benefit to our farmers if followed out.

Tlie Treatment of Clover.

I sow clover seed early and whenever conditions are favorable, that is when the ground freezes during the night and thaws the next day. I commence sowing as soon as it is light- enough to see, sometimes sowing twelye acres before breakfast, always doing my own sowing, never trusting any one else to do it. While the ground is in that condition the seed will settle so deep that it does not sprout so quickly, and after it does come up it is not so easily killed by the frost. I sow six quarts per acre and use a machine that sows a space twelve feet wide. I sow the little red clover when I want the best returns then I get three returns: Hay, seed crop, aud also the fertilizing properties. The English clover I sow for seed and fertilizing alone. Never use it for hav, as there is too much woody fiber in the stalk that is indigestable. I tried an experiment on a team of horses that had been fed ou grain and timothy hay. It took about one month's time to change them to clover hay alone, and they have not been fed any grain for several years, and have kept in good flesh, (weighing 1,300 lbs each.) We always watered them well and gave them plenty of time to eat —about one and a half hours in the morL" ig, one hour at noon and give all the hay they would eat up at night. One pound of good clover hay contains as much nourishment as one of oats, and the benefit to a horse is the same, but it takes more time to digest the hay.

My neighbors used to steal into my barn to see if I had fed my team some grain. They doubted my word, so I put up a purse of ijjioOO.OO for any proof that I had fed graiu, and I never had it to pay.

Clover hay too ripe does not give good results in feeding, as ripe clover is not as good as 1 timothy cut at the right timeDusty hay will give a horse the heaves. Springliug is a great help. -I began raising clover twenty-five years ago on a farm (Buck and White Oakland) so poor that a young man would not take it as a gift from his father, and am now raising from 45 to 50 bushels of wheat per acre, and §120.00 worth of potatoes to the the acre. Have cut the crops of clover off of my land in one year and by feeding it have realized $100.00 off of one acre.

Mv plan of rotation is this: I turn under a clover sod for a crop of potators, plant an early variety—Early Rose or Beauty of Hebron—harvest soon as ripe, then cultivaee the soil into the best possible condition, then sow in wheat, the Old Fulse variety, then sow in clover again. I raised 50 bushels per acre without any mainre when my neighbor raised only 45 bushels per acre on the same kind of soil, plowing under a timothy sod with 25 loads of manure to the acre.

A good crop of clover fertilizes the soil as much as one and ont-half tons of high grade fertilizer to the acre. Timothy ed a oge her off the soil. It takes $5.20 worth of fertilizer to replace the plant food that timothy takes off one acre. Clover feeds olf of the air and the mineral in the sub-soil. I do net believe it pays to sub-soil in plowing. Never knew any one to keep it up very long. I believe in plowing a littie dteper each year until you get to a repth of ten inches. I have been in Delaware, where they raise crimson clover. It is a winter crop. Can cut off a crop in the spring and then raise acorn crop. I will tell you how I harvest my hay. Cut it before it gets ripe with a mower that cuts a wide swath commencing about 2 o'clock iu the afternoon, letting it lay until the next afternoon, then raking it up one swath at a time, going the same way the mower went, lor it leaves it lving in better shape 1 to dry out, leaving it in winrow over night and turning it over as soon as it is dry on lop. My way of testing it to see if it is dry enough to put in the mow, is by taking up a few straws, say seven or eight, and twisting them as hard as I cau If 110 sap oozes out it is ready for the mow. I haul in as long as the hay is dry »ud wiirm and then quit for the day. After it becomes cool or a little damp it does not, dry out right. I close my barn up tight every night while fillingthe mow to keep the cool air out, the heal rising off the hay corning in contact with the cool air causes a moisture to settle on the hay, sometimes going clear through it, eausuig it to mould. I never tramp it down while tilling the mow. Have men to throw it back tightly.

The above is only a synopsis of the many good things said by Mr. Terry, aud best of nil it was but a history of what a fanner can do thut works with his bead as well as with his hands. He says that (he only good outlook for the farmer Is to Ki'ciw lHrger crops at less cost of produc-

INFLUENCE OF FIRE.

THE EFFECT IT HAS UPON WILD BEASTS AND BIRDS.

Used by Hunters and Travelers as a Protection—Darwin's Experience With the Monkey and the Candle Birds Fascinated by a Campflre.

While it is impossible to ascertain what various animals think of fire, if they think about it at all, there is no doubt that they regard it as containing bo element of danger to themselves. In every country where fierce carnivorous iinals abound the hunter understands it his surest protection from their ry is found in a bright lira In one of (Jorrlon Cummings' books of hunting adventures in South Africa he relates a story of the death of a native who was killed by a lion. The man, with a companion, was making a journey through a district where lions abounded and noticed that the twain were being tracked by a giant king of tho forest and his mate. Knowing the habits of the lion, aud that the animal was very loath to attack by day or when a fire was burning, the travelers, when they halted for the night, built a roaring fire and agreed that one should stay awake to keep it burning. They had no firearms, and their condition was perilous in the extreme, for by the light of the fire they could see tlie eyes of the two lions like glowing balls in the forest near by, but so long as the fire blazed the animals came 110 nearer.

Toward morning, however, the one whose duty it was to feed tho fire, overcome by weariness, fell into a doze, tlie fire burned low, and as soon as its flames ceased to flicker there was a rush, a bound, and the lion carried away his companion, grasping him by the shoulder, throwing the body over his back and galloping off like a cat with a mouse. Tragedies of this kind are numerous in Africa and Asia, but everywhere result from carelessness, lack of fuel or abscnce of firearms, for neither tho lion, tiger, panther nor any other animal of thg cat tribe can bo induced by hunger to rush into a bright light after its proy. No doubt the dislike of light has something to do with it, for all these animals are nocturnal, but the fear of firo is probably quite as potent a faotor.

The curiosity of the monkey ia forever gotting him into troublo. He will investigate anything, no matter what, and in his pursuit of knowledge will just as quickly and readily put his fingers into tho firo as into the water. Darwin tells of a monkey with which he amused himself by encouraging the animal to imitate certain actions of his own, tho results of which he knew very well would be disastrous to the simian. Tho naturalist lighted a candle, and in the presence of the monkey, snuffed it with his fingers. Leaving the candle burning, Darwin went away to a place whence ho could watch tho animal's actions without himself being observed. The monkey of course snuffed tho candle and burned his fingers, but could never bo induced to repeat the experiment, and indeed, after that occasion, could with difficulty bo persuaded to remain in the room with a lighted candle, seeming to regard it as a sort of malevolent fetich or demon that was called into existence for tho special injury of monkeys. It is said by naturalists, however, that not all monkeys liavo this extravagant fear of firo. In the forests of Africa monkeys have often been seen 011 cold mornings warming themselves at the embers of fires left by travelers, and apparently greatly enjoying tho genial heat of tho coals. Glad as they were to avail themselves of tins warmth, however, they had not sense enough to understand that the fire could be kept up, and though material in the shape of dried branches and fallen wood was abundant in tho immediato vicinity they made 110 effort to collect fuel und maintain the firo.

All kinds of birds are attracted by fire and light. I11 Herudon's "'Valley of the Amazon" there is a queer paragraph detailing the effect produced on the feathered inhabitants of those tropical forests by the campfires lighted every night by the party. Traveling as they did for a considerable part of the time through an uninhabited jungle, it is quite possible that most of the birds had never before seen the light of a fire, and as soon as the blaze began to shino through the leafy arcades the birds, and particularly the parrots, dropped everything and camo to look into tho matter. They came in thousands, tho trees in the vicinity were loaded down with them, and scores of throats poured forth opinions 011 the subject, all offhand and purely extemporaneous, but none tho less voluble or loudly expressod. Tlie uproar raised by tho parrots was sometimes deafening. They camo as close as they dared, formed a circle in tho trees at a few feet distant aud shouted to ono another about the matter until sleep for the party was out of the question. Shooting at them and killing a few of the numbor were triod, and with good effect, for the rest scattered instantly, but only to return in ten minutes and renew tho discussiou as vociferously as ever. Tho party could not sta}' awako all night to shoot parrots, and so it became necessary after the meal was cooked to let the firo go down as low as possible and sot sentinels to guard against the approach of wild beasts.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
