Bringing In Glover.

WHITE clover will not come into any
soil by any process whatever where the
seed is not already sown. On most old
meadows and pastures the seeding has
been going on for many generations and
II is so abundant, that when the land is
laid down to grass, no white clover seed
is sown with the timothy and red-top 1t
takes care of ITSELF and is seen in the hay
and aftermath for several seasons, and then
disappears, 1t is highly esteemed for hay,
anu makes the boet of dairy feed This
very desirable feed NAV be secured in many
old pastures by sowing plaster at the rate
of bushel or two to the acre. The ac-
tion perhaps has never been satisfactorily
explained, but it does act, and the dormant
seeds sprout, and the field is thickly strewn
with clover blossoms the next season. In
many districts the pastures have been COM
pletely renovated, and are kept in high
condition by this cheap fertilizer Feeding
with sheep on some falms greatly increases
the growth of white clover. Spreading
stable manure, compost, or ashes, secures $
the same result. Burning over old pas.
lures, especially if infested with briars and
brush heaps, helps the growth of clover
and the grasses. Sometimes scarifying an
old moss-bound sod with harrow has an
excellent effect, and gives new start to
the grass Almost any pasture will i'm.
prove by close feeding, if the animals are
suffered to remain upon it at night

Democratic Designs.

THERE is said to be some good In the
worst of men, and we are confident that
even Frank Blair serves a valuable pur-
purpose in the politics of this republic,
through his possession of the virtue of
candor. The ulterior designs of the
Democratic party, under its present mana
gers are unquestionably no less than revo
lulionary. They embrace the notification
of the amendments to the constitution,
which are the best and most valuable
results of the war by which the Union was
saved. They are the best compensations
the nation has for its terrible losses of life
and treasure. But though it is the design
of the Democratic party to cheat the ma.
tion of these great compensations, it would
be impolitic to openly say so. A man so
sagacious as Senator Thurman, of Ohio, or
Governor Hoffman, of New York, might
even wish that this were not the design of
the party. He would at all events conceal
it. But Frank Blair does not possess the
quality of reticence. He is irrepressiable
in speech, and, knowing that he represents
the dominant sentiment of his party, he
even seeks to add to his popularity therein
by the constant uterance of his views
Now it was this same Frank Blair who
proclaimed revolution in 1868. He pro-
posed then to forcibly nullify the acts of
Congress upon reconstruction. In re-
cent letter TO an Alabama journal, Gen.
eral Blair again proclaims notification
as the true policy of the Democratic
party. The reconstruction acts, he
says, and evidently includes therein
the constitutional amendments, must be
put out of the way. "All the contrivances,"
he expressly says, "by which the Radi.
calls have sought to trammel the people
that is the rebelsl, and fortify themselves
In power, must be swept away"
This then, is the design of the Demo
cratic party The good that Blair does is
to expose it so promptly and squarely that
the purpose cannot be accomplished The
people of this Union will never yield up
the fruits of their great victory in war.
The party undertaking such scheme must
inevitably fail. But we call attention to
the scheme, aud beg the people to under.
stand at once that the contest OF great
principles, which has been so long waging
in this country, is not yet ended. The
enaalies of freedom do not yet yield the
victory to their opponents. They will be
all the more disastrously defeated in 1872
because Mr. Blair has divulged the design
of the party so early in the campaign

How to Fatten Poultry.

TIE mode of fattening fowls practiced
generally in France is given in the follow
ing translation, taken from the Journal d
Agriculture:
1.-THE best nourishment for fattening
poultry Is oat meal or fresh barley soaked
In milk or warm water. One ought to
give shut-up fowls three meals a day the
first at day-break, the second at noon, the
third at the time they are going to roost
There is no advantage in giving them more
than they can eat after they cease eating,
the remainder should be picked up and
given to other fowls, for If it is allowed to
remain II will become sour, and therefore
no longer fit for them. The vessel in
which they are fed should be cleansed
thoroughly every day, with warm water.
In addition to their food, they should be
supplied with an abundance of fresh water,
daily; also, some gravel, for without the
latter the action of the gizzard becomes
more or less inactive, thereby impairing di-
gestion, A little green grass, or chopped
cabbage, or even turnip will not be bad.
In order to excite the appetite of the
fowls, their diet should be varied by giving
little grain occasionally; some allow
grain to remain in the feed vessels all the
time. A little mutton suet mixed with
their meal will aid very much in produc-
ing the desired fatness. BY this method
fowls can be fattened perfectly in two OF
three weeks, and as soon as fattened suf.
ficiently should be sold or killed, for if one
tries to keep them in this state for long
time, and continues to feed them in the
above manner they will be seized with in
flammation. One should cease from feed
ing them from twelve to fifteen hours be
fore killing. In places where Indian meal
is cheap, one can substitute it in place oi
cat meal with very good results.
