RED CLovER-Probably there is no
other plant that combines so much val
ne to the farmer as food for stock, and a
renoyator of the soil, as red clover. 1t
is one of the best fertilizers of worn
ont soil that exists. Where manures
are not to be had in sufficient quanti-
ties to keep farm in good condition,
red clover may be used to good advan-
tage. S. +. Todd, in discussing this
subject at late meeting of the New
York Farmers Club, said: .--s .a..
Animals are formed with stomach
and digestive apparatus within, while
plants, like red clover, have tho diges-
tive powers on the outside of the root $,
which digest coarse and barren parti-
cles of earth, fitting them for the produc-
tion Of cereal grain or vegetables for
culinary purposes In many parts OF
the older States, red clover alone has
maintained the fertility of the soil for
more than sixty years. Without it the
proprietors of these farms would have
been obliged to dispose of their homes
as best they could. and migrate to the
fertile plains of our western world,
where at present the cultivation Of red
clover is not necessity. Yet the day
is coming when red clover will be call
ed il, requisition in the West, where
manure aud fertilizing matter are things
of indifference. On the heavy soils of
the slopes of our Northern lakes, the
production of red clover is of inealcula-
BILE value in renovating and changing
the character of soils, rendering them
more productive from year to year. Cn-
der the ameliorating influences Of q
crop of red clover, farms that produced
scarcely a remunerariye- crop when the
virgin soil was first turned up, now
yield annually heavy crops of choice
wheat or other grain. The distinguish
ing characteristic of red clover as q rem
ovator of the soil, it TO produce vege a.
BILE mould or hnmus. Where humus
abounds in large quantities in the soil,
red clover is not the fertilizer required.
But where the surface is not covered BY
a stratum of fine mould red clover eau
be raised with eminent satisfaction and
profit. The most extensive Pennsylva-
MIA farmers understand and appreciate
the excellence and efficiency of red clov-
er. Almost the entire country has got to
renovate with red clover. Old and i'm
