Treating Poor Land with Clover.

Turning down clover as a green crop is
highly recommended, and no one can deny
that it is good. Our experience for more
than Il score of years has been that the
best way is to turn down the land after
a crop of seed has been taken from it. This
has been demonstrated also across the
water. Our practice has been to pasture
the land until June 18th, if in large
clover; if in Jane or medium clover, the
time WAS extended a week later 1--WE are
in latitude fDrtythree degrees) Plaster
is sown Immediately, which improves the
stalk and the seed, and of course the
root
When the crop is removed, there is not
apparently much sod or grass visible; but
the ground, which is more OF less bare,
is mellow. This has been uniformly the
.case. To put the plow in such land is
Nike putting it into garden soil. 1t is
mellow, and mellow deep down. If the
soil be drained, this mellow condition re
mains in the Spring, the land having
been plowcd in the Fall An early plant
ing and sowing was therefore available
We need not say that whatcvcr grain was
sown here grew well We have had no
better ground than this for barley or
Spring wheat. Oats would grow too
rank. and lodge unless in drouth in
which case no more remllncrativc crop
could be raised; but they left the land in
poorer condition than when barley was
raised. For corn it VAS also excellent;
,nd for potatoes it WAS only surpassed by
thick we'll rottcl sod, with clover roots
frrenilg part of the soil.
'Fhe advantage gained by using clover,
a.. ,lawiae after the seed crop is remoy
q: is, tia: poor land may be employed
tad nos only put in condition, but highly
.c;nuneratiyc crops may be realized for
At least Il couple of years both the text
are and the fertility Of the land being
improved at the end of that time A
single season of clover does all this There
are two crops realized of clover, and one
or more of grain, all good, and the land
left better at the end of it.
1t needs but ''catch" however poor
the soil may be, to realize this. Aided
byplaster, the ground being dry so that the
frost does not lift the plant, you are safe
for fair crop to cut, or for pasture, and
a crop Of seed to follow. We have found
IL pest 10 pow ithd IN thls condition
rather late in the Fall-thc later the bet
ter, if it is dry. In Winter, we have
turned it down and had our best crop.
But avoid wet blowing, especially Of clay
soil, for all the good done the land is
neutralized; this SO far as the texture is
concerned and thit is the medium Of
fertility. One wet blowing viii cffccilal-
ly do this, even when done in the Fall
Or Winter The old condition or worse
will be restored Where the land is rich,
IL black, sandy mold, with good drainage
less harm seems to result from wet plow-
ing. But your mellow sand and gravel

must be treated tendcrly We learned

How THE PREMIUM CHEESE WAS MADE.

How THE PREMIUM CHEESE WAS MADE.
At the late fair of the Kcnosha County
Society, the first premium on cheese was
awarded to r.. S. Huston, of Pleasant
Prairie. The following is his statement
in relation to its manufacture:
'',The milk that is brought in at light
is set in the vat to cool; before adding
warm milk, the milk in the vat is skimm-
ed; the milk is then heated to 81 de-
grccs, the cream that has been taken off
is made limpid by adding water, either
warm or cold, and returned to the vat
when sufficient rcnnet is added to coagu-
late the milk in from thirty to forty IN Il
utcs; colored with annatto to good but
ter color, when the curd is cut crosswise,
let it stand until it settles two or three
inches below the surface, then raise care
fully and run up the heat to 80 degrees;
then cut again to size Of corn; let it settle;
then raise the heat slowly to 100 degrees;
then let ii stand i'll the acid is sufficiently
developed, which is determined by apply
ing piece OF curd to IA hot iron, when il
will draw out in threads resembling fine
silk about an inch long, then we think it
