Clover.

One of our best farmers called upon
us, the other day, and requested us to
call attention in our paper to the fact
that among the tame grasses none was
as profitable as clover. 1t grows so
rank that crop of it, plowed under, is
of more value as a fertilizer than good
coating of ordinary manure. Its roots
strike so deep that it hourishes well on
dry land, and yet it grows better and
stronger on moist land as do nearly all
grasses. 1t is of such rank growth,
that, of itself, it overpowers and drives
from the soil the weaker grasses and
weeds. Sorrel, great pest to soil, is
said to be etfectually driven out by it.
If farmers would make a good sward
they would do well to apply small
coating of plaster of Paris early in
the spring. This is an excellent
absorbent, and retains escaping
ammonia better than almost any
other cheap fertilizer. For a. summer
and fall feed it grows more rapidly and
keeps green later than any other grass.
Those who would have short winters
can make them comparatively so by
leaving field of clover for fall feeding.
The frosts come to it later, by reason
of the thick leaves that protect the
stalks, than to any other grass Cattle
will not only thrive but fat on it. But
ter made from milk of cows kept on
this feed is equally as rich and sweet,
made in November, as upon ordinary
feed in June or September. Recently
we saw an article in an agricultural pa
per where farmer IN southern Ohio
recommended clover pastures for hogs
He said that two acres OF clover were
of equal value to one of good corn
kept the hogs healthy, growing and fat,
all the time The strong roots kept
the ground loose, and the hogs would
work among them and so find THEN
food above and below ground. 1t is as
essential that hog should have
= place to use its shout, and mire

what IA Boy Can Do,

We recommend the following, which
we copy from the Waukesha Plaindealer,
to those boys among our readers who
have arrived at the age when it is nee
essary that they should prepare for the
stern duties OF manhood
"Our local readers will doubtless
recollect Philip Stein, younger brother
of Charles Stein, who grew up from a
boy in Waukesha, and is now a promi-
nent lawyer in the city OF Chicago
Young Stein instead of loahug about
the streets, like many boys, attended
school regularly, and from here went to
the University at Madison, where he
graduated with distinguished honors.
From there he went TO Europe and
finished his studies, and soon after
opened law Office Ia Chicago III COM
pany with Adolph Moses, ESQ, OF that
city, where, by his studious and indus
trious habits has controlled a large
business, and become qt,lte eminent IN
his profession We notice now. from
his card, that Mr.. Moses has retired
from the firm, and Philip is managing
the business alone with good success.
He is now only about % years ct age.

A New Disease among Horses.

Our attention has been called to q
new disease that has broken out quite
extensively among horses in this city
and vicinity Its indications are first
a small eschar on the heel, about the
size of fve-cent piece. 1t sits into
the foot much like a sit-fast. There IS
but little Inflammation, pain or lame
ness. The tissue decays with great
rapidity, so much so that the diseased
surface will be three inches in diameter
and one or two inches deep IN forty
eight hours. The hoof will slough of,
and the entire foot will ultimately drop
away.
Scores of horses and mules in this
city have been affected by this disease.
It's nature and origin were for some time
unknown; but careful microscopic OBJ
servation demonstrates It's origin to be
parasites. They seem somewhat allied
to trichiad, and may be introduced to
the tissue by the manure, as it Is al
ways the heels that are affected
Diluted carbolic acid has been used
with great success. We present this
matter to our readers, so as to put
them on their guard, and 1T will be well
to have earbolic acid at hand, it is easy
and safe in it's application, and not apt
to injure if not used too strong. A
drachm of acid to a pint of pure water,
will be about the right strength. -

$50. 900. 900 Paper Collars.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin says
the paper collar business grows in i'm
portance yearly. The production IN
Boston in 1860 was $4,000, 900 collars
in 1870 it was $4,000, 900; and the rate
for 1871 is 80, 900, 900 The profits do
not participate i'll this increase. On
the contrary, the competition is so
close that it is only in improved ma
chinery and prudent close working of
stock that a per centage is secured
One OF the largest manufacturing deal
ers asserts that if he could save one
eighth of an inch to each collar, on his
waste of paper, beyond the savings OF
any other maker, he should consider
that one-eighth of an inch sufficient
profit in his business.
When paper collars We're first intro
duced they were in boxes of one hun
dred at s.. Subsequently, to secure
the public interest and a general trial,
they were tied in punches of ten, ana
sometimes afterwards put up in round
boxes for the accommodation of tray
elers. y 1t was at this time that the
novel advertisements made their ap-
pearance, reading, 1T costs IS cents a
dozen to wash linen collars, which, at
seven collars week, is Is cents, or s22
a year; 365 paper collars are sold tor
50 The recent perfection of linen
finished collars has increased the sale
OF fine goods very heavily. Hence the
incentive to dress nice stocks III hand
some boxes is legitimate, whilc, at the
same time, 1t affords to the manutac-
turer better margin for profit. Inc
price for collars now ranges from 81 TO
$50 per 1000. The amount of capltai
invested by eleven New England man
ufacturers is about 50, 900, 900, varying
IN individual cases from $50, 900 10
$500, O0o.

to wallow in, as that it should
have proper food. In clover fields or
dinarily all are found Glover can be
put IN with wheat, buckwheat oats,
and almost any crop that is scattered
broadcast. Cattle should not be turned
upon it the first year. If one would
only SOW clover for the purpose of
growing hay it is well to SOW both
timothy or herds-grass, and red top
with it, Timothy comes in best about
the second year, and red top the third.
For stock that is only kept for work or
growth, probably either are as good as
clover. The great advantage that the
farmer in cultivating this kind of grass
will find will be in the fact it grows a
heavy crop--is good late, is excellent
for mich cows and growing stock
and is the best food for sheep and
young cattle in winter. 1t makes the
soil rich if plowed under. Exchange.

A Minister Stricken with Death While
Addressing the Congregation.

The Rev. Benjamin Eaton, first and
only rector of Trinity Episcopal
Church, Galveston was stricken with
Death while standing in his pulpit last
Sunday. The Galveston News, thus
describes the affecting scene
HE assembled the pulpit. Announc-
ing his text, There is yet room all
trembling beneath the weight of his
last message, he referred to one after
another of the friends of his YOUTH
and the communicates OF the church
that had gone before. He painted
Death entering the church door, pass
ing up the broad aisle, laying his hand
to the right and to the lett, breathing
his cold clammy breath on the cheek
Of beauty, and waiting the silver hairs
of age Now touching the father, then
the son here the mother; there the
daughter AS the specter so plain to his
entranced vision advanced to
the chancel-rail, and as he saw
that his time had come, his
words struggled for utterauce. He
faltered. HIS weakened limbs stag
gered. A gentleman who advanced to
his assistance was waved back. For
ten minutes more he spoke, his words
only audible to those near him. The
excitement of the audience was fearful
Three times he struggled to continue,
saying: Il am very sick, but / must
say Again he staggered. He fell
into the arms of Mr.. G. B. Hughes, as
he raised his hands to pronounce the
benediction. Like Moses, that other
servant of God, he was too weak to
hold up his hands, which was done by
Mr.. Hughes AS he said his last words,
TO God, the Father His tongue
refused to speak further; his hands
dropped" He was carried to his rec
tory, where he died.
AFFECTING SCENE AT THE FUNERAL.
A correspondent of the Banner Of
the Cross, writes of the funeral
"Seldom has funeral so impressive,
so beautiful, so sublime, been witness
ed by any community The good man
was buried in the place which he had
selected, and which was prepared at
his own direction when the church was
built, under the chancel floor, at the
right of the altar The crowd in at
tendence was immense Four hundred
Sunday-schoo children filed the gal
leries-all robed IN white, with black
scarts. When one of them threw a
flower upon the coffin, there was in
stantiy shower of blossoms, and the
grave was filed with flowers. Four
clergymen, all from q distance, were
present, and participated in the exer-
cises-the Rev Messrs. Rucker, Trader,
Phillips, and Rainey. When Mr.. Ruck-
er committed the body to the tomb,
tears choked his utterance, and the vast
assembly wept aloud. The choir sang
sobbing. The whole church was draped,
the chancel windows covered, all bust
ness in the city suspended, and the
bells of all the churches tolling

A VALUABLE railroad train signal

A VALUABLE railroad train signal
light has been invented. In the centre
of the roof of the rear car of the train,
over the rear axle, is placed a square
lantern with alternate panes of red and
white glass. The lantern is connected
by means of shaft with one of the
axles IN such q manner that eight rev
olutions of the axle produce one of the
lantern. When the car stops the Ian
tern OF course ceases toreyolye. Upon
each side Of this main lantern are two
others. also connected with the axle in
such way that when the train IS move
ing forward solid red light is display
ed, and if backing a solid green light.
The engineer Of train coming up in
the rear can thus tell, by observing
these lights, whether the train before
him is moving or at stand-stll aud
il moving, in which direction.

A Clever Trick.

Our very pleasant contemporary,
Hearth and Home, tells its young read
ers how to take a coin out OF water
without wetting the hand. and this is
the method Fill plate with water
to the depth of about a quarter of an
inch; coin is then placed in the wa
ter; piece of paper is then lighted,
and put, while burning, on the surface
of the water, and covered with tum-
bier. As the paper burns under the
tumbler, the water will rush under the
lumber, and leave the coin in the
plate, when it may be lifted without
wetting the fingers, This is a very in
teresting experiment, as it affords a
good illustration of the expansive power
OF heat, and Of the pressure of atmo-
sphere. But we Will tell our young
friends of more wonderful and equally
simple method OF doing the same thing
Suppose you were required TO take a
coin from the bottom of deep jar, OF
even q pail OF water, without wetting
your hand. and suppose further that
your naked hand was thrust through tine
water how do You suppose 1T could he
done Simply by shaking a little
lycopdiumi substance that may be
procured cheaply at any drug store),
over the surface of the liquid Then
plunge your hand boldly but steadily
into the water and it will not wet you
in the least. The cause of the water $
not wettlng the hand is the same in
principle as that which causes the dew
drop to stand III spherical drops on the
cabbage leaf, and the water to roll of
the ducks back without wetting it. BY
somewhat similar power, spiders and
other insects walk on the surface OF
water without wetting themselves, and
without sinking in the liquid to any
pereptible degree.
