Bringing in Clover.

White clover will not come ihlo
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 it Is 30 abun-
dant, that when the land is 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 sea-
sons, and then disappears. 1t is
highly esteemed for hay, and makes
the dairy feed. This very desirable
feed may be secured in many old
pastures by sowing plaster at
The rate of u bushtl OF two to the
acre.
The action, perhaps has never been
satisfactorily explained, but it does
net, and the dormant seed sproui
and the field is thickly strcwn wi
clover blossoms the next season. II
many districts the pastures have
been completely renovated, and arc
kept in high condition by this cheal
fertilizer. Feeding with sheep OF
some farms greatly increases TIT
growth of white clover. Spreading
Stable manure, compost, or ashes, SC
cures the same result. Burning Owe
very old pastures, especially if in
tested with briars and orush-heaps
helps the growth Of cover and tn
grasses. Sometimes scaritying a
old muss-bound sod with q harroy
has an excellent effect, and gives
new start to the grass. Almost an,
pasture will improve by close feed
ing, if the animals are suffered t
remain upon it at night.--AmeTtco
AAlicMlLNrist.

Don't TANNER with a Cough.

Perhaps in the whole category Of diseases
which humanity is susceptible, the cough is
lost neglected in its early stage. A simple
cough is generally regarded as q temporary af-
Aiction-unploasant and nothing more; but to
those who have paid dearly for experience, 1t
is the signal for attack for the most fearful Of
all iseases-Consumption. A cough will lead
to Consumption-if not checked-so sure as the
rivulet leads to the river; yet 1t Is an easy enc
my to thwart, if met by the proper remedy
| Aliens lang Balsam is tho great cough remedy
| of the age, and it has earned its reputation by
merit alone.

"A DANGEROUS DISEASE FOR HORSES.
"A new and very serious disease,
which has for y couple of years cX-
listed among the cattle and horses on
Long Island, has made its appearance
in tbs city. The Second Avenue
Railroad Company have about seven
ty horses now under treatment, and
scverol have died within q few days
of tho disease. PoSt-mortemS made
on come of those by the Veterinary
College surgeons show that the dis
case rauscs inflammation of the brain
and spinal marrow, and is in most
casec fatal in n few days. What is
the immediate cause of IL tho sur
geong have not been ableto determine.
BIT now that the warm weather is
core, great care should be taken not
to c7erdrivc or overwork horses,
especially railroad stock. The dis.
ease may not be contagious, and it
ma. he, too. Owners, take care

MitraiIIeuses OH Horseback

1t is in contemplation to mount
mitrailleuses on the backs oil camels
and work them in that novel position.
1t is almost needless to say that the
experiment has been tried in England,
for what experiments have they not
tried? But camels in England are not
readily obtainable, and the ordnance
committee therefore selected one Of
those jaded old asses which form 80
common feature in the landscape at
Erich and Woolwich. The animal
quietly permitted itself to be used in
the service Of science till the critical
moment. The weapon on its back had
been loaded and pointed at the butts,
when it suddenly occurred to one of the
committee that the pulling of the Ian
yard might disturb the aim. 1t was
therefore suggested that the discharge
should be effected with a lighted fuse.
But the unpleasant fizz OF the latter
appliance was too much even for the
patience Of a donkey. The creature no
sooner heard the unusual sound than
he sent up his heels, and turning COM
pletely round, pointed the mitrailleuse
among the members of the committee
The panic which followed can be better
imagined than described, but fortunately
everybody got out Of harms way, and
when the discharge took place the
wretched ass turned a complete somer,
sault. After such eontretemps we
shall surely hear no more about bat.
