Cultivation of Clover,

!Sotcing Clorers.ed. If you have not sown
cloverseed upon your wheat fields you may
do so at any period during the current month.
But if we had our choice as to the precise
time when We would do 80 we should wait
until the frost was entirely out of the ground
and the soil become sufficiently firm not TO
be injured by the feet Of the horses. We
would then sow our cloverseed, harrow the
seed Lightly in with light harrow, and then
roll the field with heavy roller. Especially
would we subject the ground TO these opera
tious if the wheat crop showed any evidence
Of having been upheaved by the contracting
ana expanding powers Of frost and heat.
We are aware that great horror is entertained
Of pulling the wheat plants out Of the ground
by the teeth Of the harrow. In this horror,
howe yer, we are free TO confess that we do
not indulge The harrow we admit will pull
up many wheat plants in the process Of har-
rowing but theu most Of these will be re.
turned by tho pressure Of the roller. The
roller will not only return the greatest por-
tion OF the roots to the earth that may be
pnled up BY the harrow, but will also bury
many of the Joints of the plants, the most Of
which will take root and grow into wheat
bearing plants, ard thus, by encouraging
tilIering, will more than compensate for any
plants killed by the operation of narrowing.
We pSlSNc Lbut iui ONN' l'Ahb le'iSN Wy "
the harrow, the roller, by the buryipg Of the
joints, will cause two other plants to tiller
and grow. This is not all. The narrowing
destroys grass and weeds, opens the soil to
the genial influences Of the atmosphere, acts
as q cultivation to the wheat plants and gives
fresh impulse to their growth. These are
not ideal results-not mere theory-but are
justified by actual experience and practice,
the surest guides by which the agricultural
mind eau be enlightened.
Let us implore you, whether you harrow
and roll your cloverseed in or not, do not
omit to SOW the seed on your land in wheat,
as clover, in conjunction with lime, mari or
ashes, forms the only sure basis upon which
the solid Improvement of lands rest. Now,
if yoa should be afraid TO harrow aud roll
your cloyerseed on, do not on any account
fail to roll it in.
In connection with the sowing Of clover
seed, we would remark that the presence of
calcsreous matter 10 some form, in any soil in
which clover may be grown. is absolutely
necessary to its vigorous growth, and SO also
is plaster.
Quantity of Seed Per Acre.--A bushel Of
cloverseed should be sown over five acres Of
land that is, II lbs. to the acre.

can be preserved in the cellar in sand eighty
