Returning in the afternoon with my class

tinue the raid.
PoRT CoLBOURNE, May 30.-All fears of
the interruption along the canal have been
allayed. There are plenty of troops along

Clover, in enriching and improving the
farm, Is next TO barn-yard manue in value
and importance. Indeed, in many places
where winter wheat is largely grown, clio
yer may easily be made of more benefit
than the usual amount of manure made
and applied. For there will only be barn
yard manure enough to use on part of the
wheat and corn land, while the whole of
both crops may be made TO follow clover
Always sow clover with wheat, and
plough for corn before the clover is run
out; and then seed to clover with barley
or some other spring crop after corn. This
clover the next year or the year after,
will be again broken up for wheat. The
main crop will in neither case be ploughed
under. The one after wheat will be used
for hay and clover seed or pasture, as most
convenient. The crop seeded next after
corn will, if good, be moved early, and
the second growth, after starting month,
more or less, as may be convenient, can
be ploughed under for wheat.
