Children as a. Help to Enjoyment OF
ana ''2 Country Life. y

A LADY overlooking with love for
flowers and fruits writes a plea for the
children:
"We talk of adjoining our houses and
our grounds, but nevermention those dear
creatures without whom no home is com.
plete. One may spread the velvet lawn
around the house, but it looks naked and
cold; may set up cleaning marble carved
IN the human form, but never can chisel
give it life; and the pretty hooks among
the greenery are ever unfinished the
vine clad arbors have empty seats; smo Doth
gravel walks show no little footprints,
while the house, that should be home
but is not, is always in order-painful
order. Not q book that you can take up
readily, for they are all behind glass, bought
for show and not for use. When all Is
carried out, as far as the architect and
landscape gardener can go, and the precise
woman of the house has placed each little
statuette on its appropriate bracket
Strengthened each chair ndcurtain; hung
all blank spaces with furniture-with nice
regard to size, and no regard to light or
shade; then master and mistress survey
their house and grounds, with an inward
satisfaction at having displayed their
money at so nice an advantage, but take
their seats at the table, looking in each
others eyes, each asking with silent lips,
Why this chill? why this unfinished look
in every thing? If one were to tell them
it is little children needed to complete this
picture, how their eyes would open.
+" Just put a troupe oflittle, rosy checked,
fat-fsted ones in such o house, let them
pull atablerspread away, leave doors open,
throw picture books on the carpets, and
pull flowers to pieces on the door steps,
then there would be some comfort for the
wife, for she would have something to
occupy her mind and hands too. OH!
those women know not what life is, with
no silvery voice ringing through the
house no little feet pattering on the stair !;
no little one to hug and kiss; no happi-
ness; no home-I almost say, no heaven"

!, All of the rest comes either directly or
indirectly from the air, and the difference
In the amount of atmospheric matter as
simulated by meadow-grass and by clover
is the difference between 977 and 987. OBJ
viously,. then, the argument. in favor OF
clover, that it derives most Of its nutri-
ment from the atmosphere, applies with
equal force to every other crop. ''fJ d,
The beneficial effect of clover must be
sought in some other circumstance at
tending its growth, and, so far as science
has been able to discover the difference
between it and many. of our other crops,
its advantage lies, first, in the fact that it
has exceedingly strong tap roots, which
strike deeply into the subsoil and extract
from it mineral food, which Is either out
of the reach OF the roots of many other
crops, or exists in the soil in condition
not easily available by them; and second,
in the supposed, perhaps in the demon
strated, power of clover to absorb nitrogen
directly from the atmosphere Whether
clover does really absorbthe pure nitrogen
of the air or not, it is q well. established
fact that from some source, even when not
MANFRED with heterogeneous manures, it
very readily takes up large quantities of
nitrogen and stores considerable proper
ton of 1t in its roots. 411.a :.
Therefore, when clover. or clover stubble
is plowed under, the roots and what is left
of the plant itself, being mixed with the
soil on its decomposition, yield ammonia
and mineral matter in form and in a sit
uation best suited to the needs of succeed
ing crops grown. +,
In addition to this the long, stout roots
have very great effect in ameliorating
the tenacity Of heavy soils, and the decom-
position of the lower ends of the roots,
below where they are cut off by the pillow. 4
