Improving Soils BY Mixing.

There is large quantity of arabic soil
which would be improved and made capa-
bic of cheaper cultivation and the produc-
ton of larger crops, if it could be mixed
with earth of different nature. The far
mer knows the defects of his soil. 1t may
be stiff, heavy clay, and he wishes there
were more sand in it it may be the re-
verse, and clay the ingredient wanting to
perfect it. However desirable it would be
to mix soils, the great expense in most
cases, stands in the way of its accomplish
ment ii is only where peculiar ciTcum-
stances exist that the work can be done
with profit. Where those conditions do eX-
list, mixing soils is one of the most paying
improvements the farmer can make. We
sometimes find in loamy soils where the
subsoil is clay, knobs composed of quite
pure and barren sand-a poor, sandy
knoll, " the owner terms it, from which he
never gets produce enough to pay for its
cultivation, unless it is heavily MANFRED.
Manure on such spots does not last long,
as its virtue either teaches downward, or
is all required to make the crop which
finds little else to assist. The best inn
provement OIL such knobs, is to cover them
with clay soil, which can usually be OBJ
tanned near by. The best time to do this
is with a crop Immediately preceding
grass, as the clay helps form thick turf,
and thus makes vegetable matter. Just as
frequently do we see clay knobs in lands,
mainly friable and easy of tillage. Drouth
cuts short the crops on these, and makes
it exceedingly difficult to plow. The best
ingredient for these is muck, but loamy
earth or sand improves them wonderfully.
There are many instances of this land
where mixing soils would be practicable,
and prove remunerative. On general
scale we can not afford the expense of
mixing soils, but occasionally very decid-
ed Improvement may be made by bringing

Alsikc or AIsyke Clover.

This clover, which has attracted so much
attention of late, especially as honey pro-
ducing plant, we think ought to be more
generally experimental with. The Eng
Iish Farmers Diary for 1872 thus treats of
its history and qualities
Alsyke, or Perennial Hybrid Glover,
which takes it's name from Alsyke District,
near Stockholm, was first introduced into
Sweden. Within the last century, vast
improvements in agriculture have enabled
this valuable clover to be brought to great
perfection, and it IL now held IN high esti-
nation by the Swedish farmers, and eX-
tensively cultivated by the leading agrieul-
turists OF Great Britain and Ireland. The
root is fibrous, and the heads globular.
The plant bears q greater resem blance to
the white than to the red clover, and may
be described as thegiant white clover, with
fiesh-eolored heads. The advantage II pos
sesses over every other variety of clover
are It's perennial. or permanent charac-
fer. its greatest hardness flor no winter
will kill it,, its capability alike of resisting
the extremes of drought and wet, the
much greater weight OF heritage IT pro-
duces during the season, and the certainty
of q plant when other varieties fail from
fhe land having become clover sick, Its
powers of production are inexhaustible, as
Is proved by the wonderfully curious form
alton of the plant, from the single crown
of which innumerable heads are eontinu-
ally being produced all through the season,
and tillering out laterally over the ground.
The hardy nature of the plant is proved
by the fact of it thriving by transplanting.
A single plant may be taken up and divid-
ed into ten or more parts, the fibrous roots
Just cropped, and each part wall produce q
luxuriant plant; so that no farmer need
hereafter have a patchy piece of clover.

ficient 70 SOW an acre.

To-day some remarkable developments
were made in Broad and Wall streets re-
garding the present furry in the New

which the premium has been advanced by
shrewd spectators. The report, as circu-

sons who recently made the New York
money market so stringent, and who were
the subject of Congressional inquiry at
Washington, formed powerful combina-
ton in gold a few weeks since. Their first
sterling exchange on London to the ex-
tent of three million pounds, which was
sent out by special messenger two weeks
since. Last Wednesday, according to or
ders from the leaders of the New York
combination, a sudden demand was made
upon the Bank of England for half a mill
lion sterling exchange. AS this is the day
count for the coming week, the Directors
| Immediately placed their interest price

This fact was Immediately telegraphed to
New York, and gold advanced to S1.14I
Private London dispatches received to-day
say money outside of bank is now easier
at per cent, and the indications are that
since the plot of New York spectators
has been discovered the bank will soon re.
duce the rates again. 1t is said these gold
spectators are now endeavoring to sell
since their operations have been discover
ed, but they will hardly be able to do so al

Important Dispatch from Minister sehenek

An important special Cabinet meeting
was convened by the President last night
at the White House to consider the I'M
portant dispatch from Minister Schenck,
in which he stated that negotiations could
be resumed to save the Treaty Of Wash
ington, provided this government would
agree to supplemental treaty TO cover the
disputed indirect damages and TO provide
that neither Great Britain nor the United
States should be liable as neutral for con-
sequential claims arising out of acts done
by either as a neutral when the other be-
came belligerent.- Rather than let the
Treaty fail the President and Cabinet
agreed to this. The English Ministry has
acquieseed; and General Schenck has al
ready commenced arrangements to sus-
pend the Washington Treaty for the pres
ent, or until Great Britain and the Senate
of the United States can ratify the new
treaty. Granville and Schenck enterupon
the work at once; and it is believed that
the supplemental treaty will be here before
the Senate before Congress adjourns. II
not, the President will convene the Senate
in extra session. 1t is agreed that the Ge-
neva Conference shall meet only to adj
journ on the 10Th of June Wash. Cor

iicles ofbone, but in pasty condition, and
n excellent form to mix with muck, loan
or ashes. By boiling the shin bones ten
or twelve hours longer, they will also be-
come soft. This is an easy and cheap
method of reducing bones. If the farmer
will set aside cask for the reception of
bones in some convenient place, and throw
all that are found on the farm into it, es-
pecally il one or two dead horses come i'm
to his possession, he will be likely to find
valuable collection at the end of the year
which would prove valuable adjunct to
the manure crop.
