Nest Way TO Sow Clover Seed.

Glover is undoubtedly the most
economical and valuable fertilizer that
can be used in the West. We fire.
quen'ly hear of farmers sowing clover
seed, but they complain that it don't
take, SO they lose their seed; conse-
quently, they becomes discouraged,
and discontinue sowing their land,
saying that they cannot afford to sow
seed to be lost.
The price for seed is now high. The
times are said by many to be hard.
S" let us economic. If we should
leave the corn and wheat which we
plant and SOW, lying or top of the
ground, without covering, they would
not take neither would our cobbages
or radish, and other seeds which we
SOW in our gardens, If left in the same
way. @ fh $3.50 IS
Sow your clover with Spring barley
or oats (the former is better immedi-
ately after narrowing the last time.
which should be thoroughly done, to
have the ground we'll pulverized. In
stead of the harrow, cut large round
brush, (honey locust is good lop the
inside limbs to make all bear alike on
the ground, and brush your clover
seed in the same way as you would
harrow your barley or oats.
One bushel Of seed sown in this
way on nine or 10 acres of ground,
will make your clover thicker than
the same quantity on seven or eight
acres of wheat ground left exposed to
the drought, and to the chances Of
falling into the cracks, into which half
Of it finds a resting place.-COr. CIa.

Never Plow Wet Soil.

We have often urged the attention
of the farmers to this subject as one
of great importance. Any traveller
among our farming districts can sec
large tracts of land that have been
plowed when wet and unfit to be
worked, by observing large, heavy
clOds of earth, which, in the hot sea.
son, becomes like heated brick, burn
ing all the roots Ofgrain or other pro.
duet near to it. Besides this evil NO
seed can vegetate and grow well upon
soil thus cultivated, nor can that soil
give back as much nutrition as il
plowed when in right condition and
upon warm and sunny day when
light and warmth can penetrate into
the soil, and thus greatly benefit it.
We are confident that farmers lose
from ten to forty per cent. of their
crop by inattentiOn to this matter.
by little care at the proper time to
pillow, by examining the soil and Sc.
lecting good sunny days, the soil will
send up its voice in halo of dewdrop
clouds that vii, wreatlie the plow-
man with its approval Of his good
sense.
As with farms, SO with orchards,
vineyards and gardens. No soil
should he worked when wet and
soggy. Ii the soil continues wet long
drain it well, and soon it will be in
working order, out never attempt to
pillow, spade, or work it unless in good
cOndition.-ColitorRia Farmer.

Horse Gears.

There is a great deal in gearing q
horse OF mule so as to enable the ami.
NAL to work easy, and use a certain
amount of power with comparatively
small animal force. Much depends
Oil long or short leverage. The draft
may DC too high or too low the one
will draw too heavy on the top of the
neck, the other will choke the animal
The collar may be too large or too
small-eitber of which will cause sore
shoulders. A tender mouthcd horse
should have large smooth bit. and
not be reigned up too tight, or the
mouth will become SO sore as to lose
its sensitivencss to gentle draw of
the rein. Every part of the harness
should be as complete fit as a dandy's
coat, touching everything and pinch
ing nowhere.
The harness should he kept clean
and soft. There are several prepare
tions made and sold for this purpose,
but the misfortune is, they ale too
little used. The money paid for and
the labor spent in using, is not spent
i'm vain. When the harness gets wet
as it sometimes will, by being caught
out in the rain, straighten it out to dry
before it is hung up or it viii curl out
of shape. 1t should be put through
a course of greasing and handling be-
fore using again. Examine the face
of the collar every time it is used be-
fore putting on--see that it is clean
and smooth.-Stock Journal.

Bots In Herscs-A Certain Remedy.

In the past Ii or 20 years l have
cured great many horses, in fact, for
sometime have kept about 70 in my
stable at once, and during the time
/ have never lost one with bots in
him. have pursued the following
course whenever l suspected their
existence: et.r.
! Fill an ordinary junk bottle half full
of molasses then fiji with sweet milk
shake well and drench; follow the
above in about an hour with q bottle
of strong sage tea, made of our ortii-
nary garden sage; next day give that
horse q bait of rough rice and the
dead bots will come with the rice.
Ny theory is that tie milk and mo-
lasses being sweeter than blood, the
bots turn loose to eat it. The, sage
tea will kill them, and it is the only
thing I ever heard of that will do il,
without injury to the horse. The rice
will cut out the dead bots better than
salts; in fact, if you will give horses
feed, Of rough rice every two weeks,
/ do not think there is the least dam
ger from bots; at least, such is my ex.
perience.
Asa proof of what ! have written,
get two sage leaves, dip them in hot
water, lay one down, but a lively bot
on it, then cover him with the other
aud he will die instantly. I. Sage tea
l have also found very Beneficial in
collie, and is perfectly harmless, if it
