Prolific Clover.

We recently counted sevcnty-six
stalks springing from a single root of
the common red clover. 1t grew upon
a reclaimed muck swamp and was very
rank. One can see from this instance
the enormous productiveness of single
seed of this plant, and its great advan-
tage as green crop for turning in to
.ameliorate the condition Of the SOIL
Every one Of the myriad leaves draws
carbon from the air, and furnishes it
to the soil in it's most available form.
Clover with plaster is an indispensable
crop in tho rotation adopted by many
of the Pennsylvania farmers. 1t pre-
cedes the wheat crop, and secures that
fine filth, which is found to be so i'm
portant in the cultivation of that GER
cal.
The roots Of the clover plant are
much larger than those Of the common
grasses and extend deeperinto the sub
soil. The decay of these roots, lcav-
ing the vacant spaces for the passage
Of air and water, must have a consider
able influence upon the mechanical con.
dition Of the soil. As a forage, clover
is undervalued. The yield is not only
very large, but the quality, as tested
by experiment, stands among the best.

TOMATOES.

For several years past I have boon
in the habit of trimming up my toma-
toe vines pretty closely. After as
much fruit is set as will ripen before
frost, l 60 among them with n pair of
shears, cutting off the tops and all young
shoots, to prevent any more fruit being
formed. In this way they grow larger,
talrer, and ripcn much earlier, think.
Without thinning out, the suns rays
can hardly reach them through the
rank growth of leaves. have recon-
mended this plan to some of my neigh
bors, but as they have seen nothing of
the kind Sin the books" they cannot
venture to cut off "such beautiful
branches" though they see my toma.

MUSiy Grain.

Persons having musty grain are apt
to estimate it too low-as being worth
less. 1t is generally supposed the
,nusty flavor pcrvadcs the whole kernel
when, in fact, it rarely pcnetrates
through the coat or bran covering.
If corn, wheat or other grain is
musty, immcrsc it in boiling water,
and let it remain till the water is cold
The quantity Of water should be double
that Of the grain. In thus immersing
it, all the dccaycd or imperfect kernels
will rise to tho surface of tho water, and
can be removed, and that remaining is
efcctually purified.
On removing it from the water the
grain should be dried--and if it is in
large quantities it will pay for kiln
drying.
The operation is beneficial in several
respects. 1t separates the rotten and
imperfect kerncS--rcmoyos tho smut
and washes out all other finland
will improve it most decidedly.

Ike MarveI'S Address TO Farmers.


Donald G. Mitchell (Ike Marvcl) re.
Gently delivered the annual address
before the Connecticut State Agricul-
tural Society. From q condensed rc-
port in tho Hartford papers we select
the following admirable closing para
graph:
"Buttherc is something worth living
for besides money. That's very good,
but is not all. With the rest, let US
raise crop of good ideas. While you
arc farmer, remember that you arc u
man, with duties and responsibilities.
Live down the old brutal notion that
farmer must be uncouth, uncducated
and unthinking-a mere ploddcr.
"You are brought into immediate
contact with great heart of civilization.
You cannot get out of the buzz of the
toiling world. The thrill of the won
der working wires and the rumble of
the locomotive (tho thunder threat of
nations) come to your once secluded
hill side.
Move towards a better life. Do
not keep your boys Smelling in the
long winter evenings. Make your farm
place that your sons and daughters
cannot help loving. Cultivate the
trees-they are Gods messengers
Don't say that you care nothing for
looks. You do care, else why did you
build that two story white house, with
blinds, and cupola into which you
never go? Or why did you, years
ago, carefully brush your coat, and
pluck up your shirt collar, when you
were starting, on Sunday evening,
to visit the good woman who now shares
your home
Care much more for books and
pictures. Don't keep solemn parlor
into which you so but once month,
with the parson, or sewing society
Hang around your walls picures which
shall tell storicsof mercy, hope, coura &C,
faith and charity. Make your living
room the largest and most cheerful in
the house. Let the places such that
when your boy has gone to distant lands,
or even when, perhaps, he clings to q
single plank in the lonely waters of
the wide ocean, the thought Of tho still
homestead shall come across the desc
lation, bring light, hope and love.
"Havc no dungeon about your house
no room you never open--no blinds
that arc always shut.
" Don ttcach your daughters French
before they can weed flower bed or
cling to side saddle; and daughters
do not be ashamed ofthe pruning knife.
Bring to your door the richest flowers
from the woods, cultivate the friend

levels his murderous gun at the blue
