Oxen VS.. Horses.


A WINTER in the Hearth and Home says
"Hill farms are worked most advanta-
geously with oxen; the plains with horses.
Upon prairie grain farm, unobStructed
by stick or stone, the OK can be spared as
a worker, after the last natural sod is
turned. He may have halfholiday life,
for which he is we'll fitted by nature lin
view of his chances of making "holiday
beef') in assisting and supplementing the
horse in the hurry of seed, time and har-
vest. Unless the French SdudRS give us
all relish for horse soups and roasts, the
OK may remain in his character of meat
producer, with working possibilities, on
many smooth farms; especially such
smooth farms As lie adjacent to hilly
country. His position is the more secure,
as there is yet no adequate supply of
horses bred purely and simply for heavy
work.
The different periods in the growth of
country are attended by change in the
working-cattle. In clearing timber land,
tho OK is indispensable. When the
"stump period is passed, and the soil is
adapted to easy tillsge, horses multiply

Alsike. or Swedish Glover.
1,Ifalhen R.6rlfrm.-A PsrennIal


ALsKE CLOVER is hybrid between our
common Red and White Clovers. 1t has
of late attained very high reputation as
one Of the best olovers for forage and is
quite an acquisition to our pasture plants.
The blossom of this clover is half white
and pale red, and about half the size Of
Red clover blossoms Mixed with grass,
it Is cultivated with great advantage on
permanent grass land, whether employed
tor pasture or moving. Alsike has de,
rived its name from the parish of Alsike,
in upland Sweden, where il was first dis
covered, and where ii grows in great abund-
ance, IL is found growing wild In Sweden
and Norway, where it proves hardy and
productive Itwas notuntii the beginning
Of the present century that this clover was
brought into cultivation. IL was intro.
duced into England in 1884, and since
then has spread into the different German
stsiss and other parts Of Europe, and this

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 077 and 0S7. OBJ
viously, then, the argument in favor OF
clover, thatit derives most of its nutri.
mont from the atmosphere, applies with
equal force to every other crop.
The beneficial effect of clover must be
sought in some other circumstances 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 II
has exceedingly strong tap roots, which
strike deeply into the subsoil and extract
from il 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 absorb the pure nitrogen
of the air or not, it is a well-establshed
fact that from some source, even when not
manfred with nitrogenous manures, it
very readily takes up large quantities of
nitrogen and stores considerable proper
tion of 1t in its roots.
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 heavysoils, and the decom-
position of the lower ends of the roots,
below where they are cut off by the plow
opens inviting channels and new fields of
exploration to the more delicate roots of
those plants which succeed them-AmCri-

preventing Weeyn in Wheat.


IT is said by those who have tried it,
that they never lost any wheat by weevil

the wheat 10 put away, is dry, by follow.
ing this method of sailing, the wheat is
sure to keep well. Wheat, when put up
ia the usual way, will always diminish in
bulk as it gets old, and many persons CON
slider that it will not yield as much, or as
good flour, as when it was fresh from the
field. BE this as it may, the diminishing
in bulk, to which wheat is subject, is pre-
vented by sailing, in the manner above
stated The best salt adapted 10 this pur-

ClOycr-How it Benefits the Land.

THE reason generally given. for the
beneficial effect of clover is that it re-
ceives most of its nutriment from the at
mosphere, and that, consequently, when
either the whole crop or the heavy roots
and stubble left after moving are plowed
under and allowed to decompose in the
soil, this matter, taken from the atmos.
phere, adds to the resulting fertuizing ele.
ments.
This is perfectly true, but it is also true,
aud true IN almost equal degree, of every
plant that grows. In How Crops Grow"

under the head of green fodder, is given

letter to President Grant, dated June

person, all the settlements where In
dian enormities were recently com
mitted, and has ascertained that more
than thirty persons. In all, have been
killed. Agent Hoag places the num-
Der at about twenty. At the time of
the outbreak, four surveying parties
were In the field, all of whom had re
turned. Two of them report that they
saw no Indians. The third party say
they were attacked by a small baud,
which fed after the surveying party
had fred four or five shots. All the
surveying parties were frightened, and
decline returning at present.
The Indians are not combined, and
do not intend to bring on a regular
war. There are several small bands
securing in the country. and intend
to kill and plumber without taking
too many chances. Settlers and trains
are in great danger from these par
ties. Gen. Schofield has comparatively
but few troops for so wide an extent
of country. The Governor of Kan
sas therefore asks the President for
additional troops. If they cannot be
furnished, then he requests the au
thorities to raise a regiment Of volun-
teeTs, and Surveyor General Babcock
joins in the request.
