more gouerally smong American fasntafs,
for nothing is lhsttor calculated {, enrich

crop for the purpose in this county is clio.
ver,, which grows luSniant blth ahove
aud below tho spriaeo, The roots ramilying
in every direction, aud penetrating as deep
into tho subsoil as tic na,u of The ground
will permit A crop Of rcd clover
turned under tho second season of iis
growth, afterit has attained 30 majority in
size, but before the scods begin TO ripon,
will rapidly decay and ho moro scrvicabc
TO the soil than an amount of manure cost
ing ten times tho money. Whcro funere

be scarcely taken into account we strong

Tho vaiiio of gtecn manure will Ieadly
be undcrstood, when wo state the fact that
ninoiy PR cont, or moro of tho food OF
plants is derived from lilo atmosphere.
Now, when we return crop Of clover to

which il Inns derived from tho soil, and IN

mombercd that tho roots oi plants, cspcci-
nlly vigorous growers like clover, penetrate
deep into the subsoil and draw from thence
such f1od as is htlcd 10 tho growth OF
plants, and IN green manuring this also Is
added to, aud does much to cnric the sur
face sol.
There arc various crops beside clover
that can he grown TO advantage as a green
manure. Thus turuipB, rye, and accession.
ally pcas, arc used for this purpose, but
red clover ia by far the bCst Of anything
that has bccn yet tried. In England Sow
eral species of plants arc used, among
which tho most common ono is spnrry, three
crops OF which arc often grown and turned
Nndcr IN Que season. The great difference
uf climlto makes il doubtful whether this
plant wouhl succeed here. Tho white lu-
pin is also successfully used in tho north
Grn part uf Europe. Wctrust experiments
