Glover is the cheapest and best man
ure that can be had. Nothing pays
better than a field of clover ploaghed un-
der. 1t enriches the soil quicker than
barn.yard manure, and puts it in better
condition. TO plough it down well, il
it stands thick and high, each morning
roller should be drawn over as much
as can be ploughed in a day, and a
weight should be fastened to the point
of the plough-beam to dragit into the
furrow. In this way it can be COM
pletely covered. Glover contains all
the elements needed to enrich the soil
for all kinds Of grain, and in larger
quantities than other manures.

How TO FIX A CLOCK When it
stops don't take it to the shop until YOU
have tried as follows: Take off the hands
and face, the pendulum and its wire,
remove the ratchet from the tick wheel,
and the clock will run down with great
velocity. Let it go. The increased
speed wears away the gum ard dust from
the pinions and the clock cleans itself
A tiny bit ofpure oil on the axles will do
no harm. Put the machine together,
and nine times 10 ten it will run as we'll
as if it had been in the shop. If in
stead of pendulum, the clock has a
watch escapement, the latter can be ia
ken out in a moment "itl'ont taken the
works apart, and the result will be the
same.

AGRICULTURE.

EARLY PLANTING.-As a general
thing, in an ordinary season, early plan
ting of cotton necessitates one more
working, and yields two more plcklngs'
The best planters testify, on the other
hand, that late planting saces 'corh'ng
Jut loses at least one picking.
2. The planter, whose rule is topIant
early, gets ready in time; but the late
planter falls very often behind hand and
never catches up. If a rainy spell
comes on about the middle of April,
the early planter quietly waits few
days. If dry spell comes on in May,
as it often does, the late planters cot
ton doesn't come we'll, if at all and it
is. too late for sufficient remedy.
8. We have planted cotton, and
watched the weather closely in April
aud May. Here is our observation
upon the majority Of seasons. From
the ten to the twentieth of April, it
is usually fair weather for plating
Heavy rains then set in aid if the cot
ton seed isn't in the soil, it can't be
put in, and there is idleness on the
plantation for ten days. Near the first
of May, it clears off, but it too often re-
mains for three weeks. We remem-
Der season of FIVE weeks dry weather'
1t is a decided risk, though we admit
that sometimes late crop, planted in
we'll prepared ground, and thoroughly
manured, seems to outstrip the early
crop. a
4. The fall and summer seasons have
power to iujure the earlier and harder
crop, in ordinary seasons. These are
exceptions. But what we state IS the
rule, deduccd from the nature Of things
and from personal observation.
Conclusion. Plant early; or at least
be ready to plant early, if feven the sea-
son should prevent. - WimnsJorO' Me~s.
