This clover which has attracted sc

honey producing plant, We think ought
To be more generally experimental
with. The English Farmers Diary fol
1872, thus treats OF It's history and
qualities:
".Alsykle, or Perennial HybHial clover
which takes it's name from Alsyke dis
trict, near Stockholm, MAS first intro
duced into Sweden. Within the last
century, vast improvements in agrlcul
ture have enabled this valuable clover
to be brought to great perfection, ano
it is now held in high estimation by
the Swedish farmers, and extensively
cultivated by the leading agriculturists
of Great Britain and Ireland. Tht
root is tibrous, and the heads glohulm.
The plant bears a greater resemblance
to the white than TO the red clover,
and may be described us the giant
white clover, with flesh colored heads.
The advantages 1t possesses over every
other variety of clover are It's peren-
mai character, It's greater hardness,
(ior no winter will kill it. It's capnbil,

drouth and wet, the much greater
weight of heritage it produces during
the season, and the certainty OF II plant
when other varieties fail from the land
having become cloyer-sick. Its pro.
duction is meXhaustlble, as is proved
10y the W 1nderfully curious formation
of the plant, from the single crown OF
which innumerable heads are continu.

season, and tillering out latorally owe,

plant is proved by the fact of it's thirty
ing by transplauting. 4 single plant
may be taken up and divided into ten
or more parts, the hbrous roots just
cropped, and each part will produce Il
luXurant plant; so that no farmer need

4 Merimac County, \. t., farmer,
who makes farming pay, says he shall
have no pigs about his premises this
year. Says he can fat ten calves at a
profit with his skim milk, while the
pigs would not pay for their keeping.
BY feeding calves with about rs much
skim milk as they will take--giving it
morning, noon and night-they grow
rapidly, and in "A few weeks make cX.
cellent veal that always commands a
price, which pays him ii good profit for
his milk He buys calves MI through
the spring and summer for this plw-
pose. Sometimes he has some extra
nice ones, which are always sure to catch

men who are willing TO pay extra prices
for them to raise. . And when you
have no calves, what do you DO with
the milk and Stops that accumulate IN

them to the cows, " he replied. He said,
when COW or colt once learns to
drink milk they viii take all they can
get. He also feeds his hens with sour
curd After milk sours he places it
upon the stove and heats 1t until q thick
curd is formed and the whey separates
from it. This curd he feeds tothe hens,
and lie considers 1t a superior egg
producing feed. Without being sub.
jected to the heating process, ne con-
siders it of less value, as the whey EIakes
too much liquid for tbe fowls. This
curd he considers the very best feed for
young chickens and turkeys. Fed in
these ways to his animals and fowls, he
is confident that he gets fair price for
his milk, while feeding 1t to pigs he
would get nothing, for 1t would require
more meal to fat them in the fall than
their bodies would bring in the market.

that pork is to remain Iowa suppose

Curculio on pi,,ms.

\ writer in the Germantown Tele-
graph says:
| have seen various methods for keep
ing these insects OFF plum trees, but
none SO simple, nor yet so etfectual,
as the following Soak corn-cobs in
sweetened water until thoroughly sat
urated, then suspend them to the limbs
of the trees little while after blossom
ing, being sure To burn the cobs after
the fruit ripens, as they will be found
full of young insects. \ good plan is
To change the cobs every few weeks.
Ny theory Is this, that the insects
deposit their eggs in the cohs IN pre-
ference to doing SO in the young plums.
The first season / tried it upon one OF
two only, and in the summer was re-
warded by good crop of rs fine plums

Plaster has not been much used for q
fertilizer for the potato in tie newly
settled portions of the country, because
the new soils would almost always for q
few wears raise excellent crops Of pota-
toes without IT, The past season has
however demonstrated the beneficial
effects resulting from its use ia an I'M
expected manner. The potato bug
made its appearance early in the season
ami plaster was applied to tie vines
quite generally as a remedy Except
Ing when used with Paris green. it had

OF New York. we take the following,
which will be found valuable and time
":
After all, plaster is the main depend
ence of the potato grower, help on
which he may rely with the utmost con-
tidence Astonishing results are OBJ
tanned from its use, when applied in n
: proper manner. The writer has seen a
( field, all of the same soil, all prepared
alike, and al planted with the same
variety at the same time, on one-half
of winch, that had no plaster, the yield
was but sixty bushels per acre, and
many rotten the other part, to which
/ plaster was applied in the manner
hereafter explained, yielded three hun
dred and sixty bushels per acre, and
not an unsound one among them.
I 1t is said that plaster Is CT most
/ benefit in yet seasons; such IS not al
ways the case. 1t is certainly beucfi-
clal to clover, wet or dry; so Of pota-
toes. \ few years since, when the
drouth was sointeuse III this section as
to render the general potato crop almost
total failure, the writer produced
plentiful crop by the use of plaster
alone. On examination at the dryest
time the bottoms of the hills were
| found to be literally dust, yet IN this
dust the tubers were swelling tiuely;
the leaves and vines were OF rich,
deep green, and remained so until frost
while other fields III sight, planted
with the same variety, but not treated
with plaster, were brown, dead, and
