SEE TO THE CLOVER,

Mr.. Curtis, before the Farmers Club,
says: "Hogs can be wintered on clover hay
cut green, if IL is steamed to a pulp, with
out any meal or bran being added"
Cattle reducing 1t to a pulp, by mastica-
ton, get similar effect. We know lead
ing farmers who keep their diaries during
the winter on clover hay alone, or clover
and eoTDstslks. This till the COWS are
turned to grass, and they go into pasture
strong and good flesh, giving large yield Of
milk at the same time. This being fact,
and it is demonstrated yearly, why are we
feeding grain? Simply because we neglect
or diregard early cutting, fearing we cannot
cure our hay in this early or green stage.
1t is more an excuse than any thing else.
Others DO it, cut early, and cure fair to
well. Have the hay cap, and there is no
danger OF spelling. Use the tedder freely;
which will expediate drying. By cutting
the first clover early, when Just in blossom,
the second crop may be cut, and in good
time leaving tine enough for an after
growth for protection.
Here ara two crops; and as clover can be
made to yield well with comparatively lit
tie expense, we need not call attention to
the benefit derived in this way. Plaster
now, bushel TO the acre, determine before
hand that you will make the test and make
it. LfnOt on a large scale ct least on a
small. Have the hay caps ready; there is
time for that now. What we need is test
ing fairly. If the best farmers are reaping
an advantage here, why not we all have il?
Clover is the farmers plant of profit, and
those engaging earliest in it fully, will get
the most of the benefit Utica Herald.

APPLES In NEW YORK AND NEW
JERSEY.

Toe apple crop of New York and New
jersey is said to be unusually large this
year, thousands Of bushels going to waste.
The New York Express says that in
Orange and Sullivan counties, and also in
New Jersey the trees in the orchards are
fairly bending beneath the weight of the
fruit, and tie farmers are obliged to prop
up the overburdened boughs. Good apples
are selling on farms at twenty-five cents per
bushel, and the best can be had for fifty
cen. s-yet in the city the price is well kept
up. There viii be plenty of cider this win
ter. Already the mills have commenced
running, and are likely to be kept agoing
long time. That favorite drink cover in
Jersey"-and which can seldom be obtain
ed good outside of that State-apple jack,
viii be produced in abundance, and of bet
ter quality than usual. There is an i'm
rnense demand in the country for barrels in
which TO put apples, aud parties are buying
them up in New York by wholesale for the
purpose.

CROPS AND COMMERCE IN ENG
LAND.

pertaining to crops aud prices in England,
in summing up the harvests, says: 81 am
% alarmist but 1 believe that we shall have
ID pay for foreign corn wheat in quaint
ty and price fifteen to twenty million ster-
ling more than in a good wheat season"
The annual importation of breadstufs is
equal to about seventy million bushels Of
srain. If partial failure of the potato
crop, and short grain crops compel the dis
uursement of seventy-fve to one hundred
million dollars more in the next twelve
months, it cannot fail to affect injuriously
the manufactures and commerce of the
Kingdom. In France commercial affairs
seem to be progressing more fayorably than
IN the other siie Of the channel; and in
Germany, trade and commerce appear to
be in a flouIishing condition, new enter.

Fews. lie was for ever unwilling to let this i'm
portent occasion pass without putting himself
on record upon the question Just discussed by the
gentlemen who had preceded him. He was in the
lste confederate army four years, and when the
confederate flag went down had the honor to be
IN permanent command of all the Tennessee In
lantry In the army OF Tennessee and claimed the
right to speak for himself and his late compan-
Ions IN arms, and thought he knew the spirit
anu temper Of the gallant soldiers who had dis
tlngaished themselves in so many engagements.
Since their return home they had been as re-
narkable for habit Of order, sobriety, industry
ana all that constitutes good citizens as they
were brave and sacrificing on the field.
AS TO himself, he had not only accepted and
regarded his parol in form but in spirit. When
he returned home from the army twas with the
honcst intention to feel an interest and attach
ment for the government in which his parol
contemplated his citizenship, had cultivated that
feeling without hesitation, and had endeavored
TO impress the same upon his fellow soldiers. He
felt assured that military force was not now the
best means of preserving the peace of the land,
and hoped the Legislature would so consider the
question. He referred TO the memorial Just sub
mitted as q better statement OF his position. .

THE DAIRY KING OF NEvADA.-In the
year 1855 or 1856, or Whereabouts, says the
Grass Valley Union, We knew a man in
Nevada City who MIXED two or three
cows, and who used to walk around the
town and sell the lacteal fluid. He carried
two cans on a wooden yoke, which was
placed on his neck and shoulders. He has
tlourished since then, and now has lands and
horned cattle in Monterey county. He is
now engaged in milking 1900 cows, and he
makes butter and cheese. Next spring he
will milk 900 cows. His COWS are of ex-
cellent stock, consisting OF Devon, Short.
horn and Alderney blood. The name of
this successful milkist and ex-Nevada City
man is S. G. Abbott. His property is as
sessed this year at 100000, and we
doubt much if be would sell out at that
figure.

Mr. .. J. Thomas, the distinguished
pomologist, has cultivated the Howell pear
twenty years, and says that it possesses the
following desirable points. l. Handsome.
thrifty, strong growth, usually straight and
erect, although in some localities the trees
ara somewhat irregular and crooked. In
our own nursery rows they have always
grown as handsomely as the Bartlett, with
stronger stem and shoots. 2. Productive
ness, even whenthe trees are young. 3.
Fair, smooth fruit, of good size and attrac-
tive appearance. In this respect, the Howell
is fully eqal TO the Doyenne Boussack, If it
It does not exceed it. But there is ore
drawback, the flavor is not as high as we
should like it-although this deficiency is
compensated for in great degree by the
very Juicy character of well ripened speci-
mems. Take il altogether, there are very
few pears that can equal it for orchard
planting. - .-
