of soda, we must Just bit upon the right
point when it will be beneficial to the
growing crop. If there is not sufficient
rain or water to wash the nitrate of soda
into the soil, it does no good, but rather
may do harm by burning up the land.
If there is too much rain. it may pass into
the drains. Nitrate of soda is not retained.
by the land-not even by clay soils. II
passes through them as through a sieve;
therefore, it is the most precarious kind Of
manure that you can use. 1t is well il
you can hit upon the right time and this
you must find out for yourselves. BY OBJ
servation you will find out the right time
in the particular locality where you are
placed. You may 60 wrong once, but for
a number of years you will generally hit
upon the light time. Speaking generally.
l would say that about the middle of Feb
ruary, in most localities, is the right time
for the application of nitrate of soda; but.
useful as nitrate of soda may be in some
special cases, think the less you use it on
poor soils the better. l should like more
indirectly to accumulate nitrogen on my
land, and not 60 to any great expense in
buying nitrate of soda when my land is in
poor condition. 1t is we'll if you have very
good land, but under ordinary circumstan-
ces it is perhaps better not to rely upon
this source of supply.
Nitrate of soda may readily be washed
out: but you will notice that the benefit
that you obtain from clover roots is. that
you have continuous source from which
nitrates can be produced. It does not
matter if some of the nitratcs pass away
in the drain ; you have an enormous ac-
emulation of decaying organic matter.
The clover roots and leaves are not all at
once changed into ammonia: but there is
a gradual transformation Of the organic
matter, first, into ammoniacal salts, and q
gradual change from ammoniacal salts into
nitrates, and you have complete series OF
chemical transformation which is highly
conducive to the gradual development Of
the plant. Whereas, by using nitrate of
soda, you run the risk of getting it washed
away into your drains. Thus, there is
more certainty of growing good crop Of
wheat through the instrumentality Of clover
than through the direct supply Of the nj
trate of soda. These, then, are the chief
points which have been established, be-
lieve, by my chemical experiments in the
laboratory with respect to the chemical
history ofthe clover srop.-JOpr"al ~ y.

A WORD FOR OLD BACHELORS

An excellent and sensible article APP
peared in your paper, last week, Mr.. Ed.
itor, on the subject of "Old Maids"
The writer very properly said to the la
Dies Be an old maid, if fortune throws
not in your way the man Of your heart"
This is well expressed but in the con-
clusion of the same article the writer
says:-" For well-to-do old bachelors ve
have no sympathy. They ought 70 ba
taxed nine-tenths Of all they are worth 70
support women and children" What IN
atrocious sentiment! Why should noe
the same privilege be accorded to gentle
men as to ladies', to remain single if they
chose, i" if fortune throws not in their
way the woman of their hearth" Many
of them have been looking for that iden-
tical woman, for years and if they have
not found her, it is probably more the
fault of the women than the men. Hap
iness is the end and aim of all, and every
body should be permitted to seek for it in
their own way. If the old bachelor has
not met the lady capable of inspiring him
with the tender passion, would you have
him to degrade himself by forming q
union without love? The bachelor is not
unsusceptible to the charms of woman.
Why, then. has not some fair one brought
him to her feet, with her battery of bright
eyes, and all her wealth of woman's
charms? 1t is woman's fault, not his.
He would love and wed, but not without
finding some one whose witchery he can
not shake off. He is fair game; bag him
ladies', who can. If you cannot, blame
yourselves, not him. The old bachelor is
a wary bird, and not to be caught with
chatf; aud this is the nature of so much
of the bait thrown in his way, that he
will not fall into the net. But try hinl
with pure grain without the chaff Let
some pure-minded, artless, high-souled,
intelligent, loveable, trustful woman,
come in his way, and we shall see
how soon he is shared. There is no dis
count on q we'll to-do old bachelor they
are always above par. They can take
care of themselves, snap their fingers In
the face of fortune and whistle care to the
winds. Girls don't turn up your pretty
noses at old bachelors; but melt the in
crustation about their hearts with your
sunny smiles, and make their bosoms glow
like Etna. There is feeling and sym
pathy, and love there, if you can call il
into activity. AN OLD BAcHELoR.

THE LITTLE PEOPLE.

A dreary place would be this earth
Were there no little people in it;
The song of life would lose its mirth,
Were there no children to begin it.
No little forms, like buds to grow,
And make tn admiring heart surrender
No little hands on breast and brow,
To keep the thrilling love cords tender.
No babe within our arms to leap,
No little feet to ard slumber tending;
No little knees in prayer to bend,
Our lips the sweet words meekly lending.
What would the mothers do for work,
Were there no pants or jackets tearing?
No tiny dresses to embroider?
No cradle for their watchiul caring?
No rosy boys, at wntry morn,
With satchel to the school-house hasting2
No merry shouts as home they rush,
No precious mCrscl for their tasting?
The sterncr souls would get more stern,
Unfecling natures more nhuman,
And man to stole coldness turn,
And woman would be less than woman.
For in that cline to'ards which we reach,
Through Times mysterious dim unfolding,
The little ones with cherub smile
Are still our Fathers face bcholding.
So said His voice in whom we trust,
When in Judea's realm a preacher;
He made child confront the proud,
And be in simple gulse their teacher.
Liie's song, indeed, would lose its charm,
Were there no babies to begin it;
A doletul place this world would be,
Were there no little people in it,
