BY this proving that while the first crop
from the Super Phosphate and Potash was
larger yet it left the land in better condition
than it was where no manure whatever was
applied. He asserts that if by chemical
meahs farmer can grow clover on SELL
which Otherwise would not grow clover, he
is almost certain 10 get good paying crop
of wheat, that the very best preparation, the
best manure, for wheat, is II crop of clOUer
But there are other points in this connec-
ton which challenge the attention of every
thoughtful farmer, Voelcker, has demonslra-
ted to his own satisfaction and TO that of the
leading thinkers upon agricultural subjects,
that clover is the best fertilizer when crop
pei for seed.
He admits that II is seems unnatural that
u seed crop should leave land enriched, but
asks every farmer if he has not positive evil
dence in his own experience that the best
crop of wheat is produced after clover is
grown for seed. lie shows that crop OF
clover is equivalent to u much larger guam
tity of manure, than the largest dose of
Peruvian Guino which farmer would ever
think of applying, examine this analysis
ION clover soil once mown and left for seed
the total quantity of Nitrogen calculated for
IL inches Of soil was sl26 pounds per acre,
ON that part mown twice for hay 52l9J
pounds per aero. AN excess of 3592 pounds.
This calculated as Ammonia, and costing ut
at price of the same IN Peruvian Guano,
| would be worth nine hundred ($900) dollars
Again, he has asctrtained That "when
clover is fed off by sheep when it is still
young, and everything is returned to the
soil as it is removed from it, the land is in
worse condition than when you take off
clover hay"
The reason seems to be found Ia the fact
that clover drinks in cnpious draughts Of
fertility from the atmosphere, and gathers
up by its roots the Phosphates and Potash,
and all are left in an available condition
near the surface, when the land is ploughed
The work thus done by clover being in pro-
portion to its growth.

Generals onslaught upon the whole class OF

Bowles, Lord High Steward Vcnable, and
the Count of Good-eatables, Byrne, and
were by them invited to dine with the
convivial prince of the Green Seal, whose
pleasant society was fully appreciated.
We shall long remember the suspicious
occasion, and anxiously hope for its re-

occasion toast which he said was origin
al with an American gentleman of Dutch
descent named, he believed, Rip Van

just sworn off, but as it was the Prince,
we didn't count that one and joined him
in the sentiment.
