MANAGEMENT OF CLOVER AFTER HAVING -
A second or seed crop of clover should not
be taken from field of clover that is cut or
pastured the first year after it is seeded down.
Ii 1t is cut for seed the first year, the clover
viii not last more than one or two wears ;
while If 1T is not allowed to ripen seeds till
IN its second year, having then well estab-
ilshed its roots in the soil, it is likely to last
longer and yield better crops, After clover
mas been cut the first year, the field should
be shut up and allowed to regain a growth
before being pastured; but if it is a second
year crop, and to be cut for a second or seed
crop the same year, stock may be allowed n
1t for two or three weeks after having, before
1t Is shut up. A dressing of plaster or ashes
or superphosphate, at the rate of n,bsskael
per acre, given about the first of August
VIII be great bel p towards making a growth
OF second clover crop. After a crop OF seed
has been taken from a field of clover, it is
seldom worth cutting for hay again so that
1t is rarely done except where it is intended
to turn the land to pasturage, or break it up
the following season, as the clover usually
shows signs of running out after it has been
50 g, severely taxed to produce seed crop.
Clover seed at best is very troublesome and
uncertain crop, rarely yielding more than
three bushels of seed to the acre, and costing
nearly all it is worth to obtain it. On farms
where there are a number of grown-up
boys, and very little stock is kept, it may
pay to cut second crop of clover for the
seed alone. But the best farmers would
rather buy what seed they need than deprive
their stock of so large an amount of autumn
feed.
If it is cut for seed it must get SO ripe that
the stalks are of little value as fodder for
stock; but when it is cut early and cured prop
erly for hay, second crop of clover makes
excellent fodder for cattle and sheep and is
much less exhausting to the soil and the
plants than if allowed to ripen its seed -

EFFECT OF FORESTS ON HEALrH.--It
| seems to be generally understood among sci
entifc observers, that forests, and even a
few rows of trees, often have great effect in
checking miasmatic vapors 1t has been OBJ
served that a screen of trees in certain local
tiles in Italy protected the inhabitants from
fevers which were prevalent on the otheS side
OF them. Certain commissioners in Tuscany
advised the planting of three or four rows of
white poplars to intercept the currents of
air from malarious localities Lieut. Manry
believed that few rows of sunAowers plant
ed between the Observatory at Washington
and the Potomac marches had saved the in
mates of the Observatory from the inter
mittent fevers to which th9y had been form
erly liable, and large plantations of sunAow-
ers have been planted in the alluvial soils in
Italy with favorable results in preventing
the spread of noxious exhalations from the
marches. 1t is supposed that the plants or
trees not only act mechanically to check the
unhealthfuI currents but also chemically to
render the noxious effiuvium harmless by
decomposing it.

WHEAT IN CALIFORNIA The wheat crop
the present season, in the extensive valley OF
San joaquin and Napa Valley is almost a
total failure. This | am satisfied after the
most careful inquiry, is largely owing to the
shittless manner of farming and putting in
crops.
During the season of the summer months.
the ground intended for the next wheat crop
is left undisturbed by the plough. When a
few inches of the surface soil have become
moistened by the first fall rains, the gang
ploughs are started with sewers affixed, thus
slightly covering the seed scattered over the
untitled ground. These valley lands in their
virgin state, it is true produce remunerative
crops with no better tillage than this. Is it
at all surprising that under such system of
farming, if system it can be called, short
crops IN these valleys are now the general
complaint IN this valley of drought? The
best wheat lands of California, we presume.
contain an almost inexhaustible supply of
mineral elements; but even these soils, like
those of Petaluma, will cease to grow the re-
munerative crops of former years, unless
timely precautions are used to keep up the
necessary supply of organic matter.-Cor

How TO GET WORK Done ON FARM-Eyery
farmer is at times oppressed with sense of
the overwhelming number of things that re-
quire to be DONE We have seen a nervous
man in such circumstances commence one job
and before he had got fairly started, abandon
it for something that seemed more pressing,
merely to leave this in the same unfinished
state, and when night came he had accom-
plished little or nothing, and passed hours
tossing about on a sleepless bed thinking
what he should do on the morrow. A young
farmer could not adopt better rule than
TO repeat to himself every morning, I" What
soever thy hand iindeth to do, do it with thy
might, and act upon it. When job is com
menced, finish before beginning another; but
if you happen to get behind, strike lively
gait, do one thing at time, and when it is
done, take little rest by Immediately COM
mencing another in this way you will pull
through in good time. American Agricuittr-

LITTLE BROTHERs.-Sisters, do not turr
off your younger brothers as if they were
always in your way, and any service which
they might ask of you were a burden.
Perhaps the hour may come when, over q
coffin that looks strangely longer than ~
thought, and over pale brow where often
half unwillingly and perhaps with a petu.
liant push, you parted the hair you send
with binding tears and sobs that shake
your very soul while remorsefui memory i
busy with the bygone hours. You will
wish then, that when he came and asked
you to help him in his play. or to lift him
on your lap because he was tired, or take
him out because he wanted to see, you had
laid aside your book and made the little
heart glad.-Aikman's Life at Home.

SWEET OIL FOR POIsoNs.-A plain farmer
says: 1t is now twenty years since | learned
that sweet oil would cure the bite of rattle
snake, not knowing that it would cure any
other poison, both on man or beast think
no farmer should be without a bottle of it in
the house. The patient must take spoon
full of it internally, and battle the wound for
cure. To cure horse, it requires eight
times as much as it does for man. Here
let me say, of one of the most extreme cases
of snake bites in this Observation-Disclosures
years ago this summer-where the case had
been thirty days standing, and the patient
had been given up by his physicians. heard
of it and carried the oil, aud gave one spoon
full, which effected cure. 1t is an antidote
for arsenic and strychnine. 1t will cure
bloat in cattle caused by eating too freely of
fresh clover. 1t will cure bites of bees. spi-
ders or other insects, and will cure persons
who have been poisoned by low running
vine in the meadows, called ivy.

FRUIT AND FEGETABLEs.-The great abun
dance of fruits and vegetables this season
should be a matter of congratulation anc
| thankfulness to Providence, and people
should avail themselvs freely of the bounty
Every one has his favOrites among these pro-
ducts TO which he ascribes health-giving
and restorative qualities. Some say eat mel
ons, others commend peaches, tomatoes.
onions, berries, and SO on. We had cnce a
medical friend who devoured a large water
melon each day through the season, under
some extrayent notion of its sanitary effect.
but setting aside notions and hobbies which
generally have some hints of truth in them
there can be hardly doubt but that various
vegetable juices and acids were intended to
serve valuable part in the animal economy,
and that we do wisely to surrender freely to
the suggestions of appetite. a strong crav-
ing for these natural products is not to be
cUniounded with the vicious appetite for ar
tIhcIal compounds like candies, pastries, etc,
and 1t may usually be taken TO indicate what
the health of the body requires Yet this
should be juidiciously corrected by what a
person finds by experience to be the result of
indulgence, and by the refusal of unripe fruit
and unsOund fruit. Ii must be remembered
also that one mans experience is not always
the true guide for another The old dread
OF fruit as being unwholesome, especially in
children and invalids, is passing away, much
to the advantage of the public.

PERFUME OF FLOWERS HEALTHFUL.-
An italian professor has made researches
which lead him to assert that vegetable per
fumes exercise healthful influence on the
atmosphere, converting its oxygen into ozone
and thus increasing its oxidizing influence.
The essences that develop the largest quantity
Of ozone are those of cherry, laurel, palma
rosa, cloves, lavender, mint, juniper, lemons,
fennel, and bergamOt those that give 1T in
less quantity are anise, nutmeg, caJeput and
thyme The flowers of the narcissus, hya-
cinth, mignonette, heliotrope and lily of the
valley, develop ozone in closed vessels. Flow
ers destitute of prefume do not develop it,,
and those which have bat slight perfume, de-
velop it only in small quantities. As cor
ollary from these facts, the professor recon-
mends the use of flowers in marshy districts,
and in places infested with animal carnations,
as the powerful oxidizing influence of ozone
may destroy them The inhabitants of such
regions should surround their houses with
beds of the most odorous flowers.

FEEDING THE AFTERxATH.-There is unqnes
tionably a good excuse this season (if there
ever Isl, with its burned up pastures and short
feed, for feeding the aftermath The stock
must have something to eat and those who
unprovided with an abundance of corn
millet or other fodder, must look to the after
math, but it must be remembered that the
grasses need food, and secure protection from
the rigors of the coming winter, and if the
fields are eaten down, as they often are, great
damage must be the result What with
close moving, a dry summer. and close crop
ping, the grass will have a hard pull through
the fall and winter, any way, and it should
be treated with as much consideration as the
exigencies of the season will admit of-Mass.
