Growing Glover too Coarse.

IL is sometimes objected OF clover
that it il too coarse as feed, tins being
the case where it ~ grown ON strong
ground, making II large stalk. This
can be rcmcdied by sowing thick, and
thus getting n fine stcmmcd crop, and
shorter in length, the stalks varying
from fifteen to twenty-five inches, nc
cording to the quality Of the land, the
season, and weather plaster has been
used but the point is to SOW thick,
from ten to twelve quarts per acre,
evenly scattered ON mellow soil and
brushed in if sown with spring grain.
This forms II close growth, and must be
cut before it lodges much, and this is
generally the time Of Towering. Else
if lodged badly, and permitted to re-
main for some time, it will partially rot
and lose some Of its quality AS u feed.
But harvested in time and well cured,
| there will be no deterioration of the
high value which this plant has OBJ
tanned among our best dairymen. Three
tons per acre may be thus realized and
if the season is a good one, the amount
may be doubled by two cuttings, and
clover should always be cut twice, each
time mt the %blossoming period. The
medium clover is earlier and finer stem
med than the large kind, and less apt to
lodge, and always permits of two cut
tings. On poor land clover may be
grown successfully, improving the land.
But it may be raised ON the richest of
land with the most gratifying results
only get it close so as to have it fine
stemmed, and cut in timc.-OhiO

Wheat and Physical Vigor.

Nothing is more sure in the chcmis-
try of life than that grcnt- eaters are
the great thinkers, or that the phospho-
rus which wheat contains, in the outer
kernel, Immediately beneath the huBk,
il the feeder Of brains, and the material
substance which provokcs to thought,
study, reason, and all the forms of ner-
vous energy. There are psychologists
who attribute the remarkable success of
states like Ohio, Indiana and Illinois to
the bounty and perfection of the wheat
crop, and the intellectual stimulus, or
rather food, which it afford, the brain.
Certainly no commonwealth in the
world has ovinccd n higher sense Of law
and order, or more rapid developed n
social system which has hardly IN equal
in the world. The constitution of In
diana, for instance, the very center of
the wheat zone, is beyond comparison
the best in the Union, and produces the
highest results in our civilization.
There il II southern wheat belt, which
includes Australia in part, south Africa,
New Zealand, and n part Of South
America, where u civilization equal to
that of the central north of tho United
States il growing up.
But the full value of wheat ~ u civil
zer will never be fully realized Until
wheat-meal takes the place of bottled
flour, and the people learn to make
bread without yoast or risings. Good
bread is ompbaticalIy the '"stan OF
life :" but tho commercial article il the
way to dyspepsia and premature death.

AGRICULTURAL.
Profitable Farming.


There are too many men who put
their all into n single venture, and if
that fail are utterly used up. There is
perhaps no business wherein 1.-TWO
strings to ones bow" are 30 important
as in farming. Other pursuits have
certain rules which have been founded
on experience, and which the shrcwd
nan Of business car take advantage OF
with an almost assured certainty OF
success. But we can not do this. We
can not tell what will happen to our
crops. Sometimes it will be over-dry,
sometimes over-wet sometimes we are
plagued with swarms Of insects at
other times We are afflicted with blights
and molds. Against none of these
things do we ever get the slightest hint.
Bnt We have dwelt on this recently, in
speaking of the value of diversifying
our products. Trouble never strikes
everything alike. Some will succeed.
But, independently Of all this, the young
farmer should never be cast down by
misfortune. II is here whore SO many
fail. We knew one, once, who had
made by city work some $4,000. He
had originally been brought up on n
farm, and had always made up hismind to
return to il ~ soon M he had accumula-
ted enough to warrant him in making n
start. But he put away two thousand
dollars, and invested only six in the
farm and stock. IL 30 happened that
the next two years found HIM in terri
bic losses; but they brought expert
cnce, and he fell back on his small re-
serve, and this, with his new experience
gave him a new and good start. 1t is
not 30 long ago, but he now considers
himself worth about twenty-five thou
sand dollars, and is one Of the most mr.
dent advocates of the proposition that
farming will pay.-Gcrmantown TGic-

the Habit of Reading

81 have no time to read, is the com
mon complaint, and especially Of women,
whose occupations are such ms to prevent
continuous book perusal. They seem
to think, because they cannot devote as
much attention to books as they are COM
PEELED TO devote to their avocations, that
they cannot read anything. But this is
a great mistake. IL isn't the books we
finish ut n sitting which always do us the
most good. Those We deyour in the
odd moments, half n dozen pages at Il
time, often gives us more satisfaction,
and We are more thoroughly digestcd
than those we make n particular effort
to read. The men who have made their
mark in the world have generally been
the men who have in boyhood formed
the habit of reading at every available
moment, whether for five minutes or i've
hours.
IT is the habit Of reading rather than
the time ut our command that helps us
on the road to learning. Many Of the
most cultivated persons, whose names
have been famous rs students, have
given only two or three hours II day TO
their books. If we make use Of spare
minutes in the midst Of our work,
and read a little, if but n page or para
graph, we shall find our brains quick
cned and our toll lightcned by just 20
much increased satisfaction as the book
gives rs. Nothing helps along the mo-
notonous daily round so much as fresh
and striking thoughts, to be considered
while our hands are busy. A nGw idea
from a new volume is like oil which re-
duces the friction of the machinery OF
life. What we remember from brief
glimpses into books often serves as II
stimulus to action, and becomes one OF
the most precious deposits in the trea-
sury Of our recollection. All knowledge
is made up Of small parts, which would
seem insignificant in themselves, but
which, taken together, are valuable wea-
pons for the mind and substantial armor
for the soul. "ltead anything continue
ousIy," says DR.. Johnson, "and you
will be learned" The odd minutes
which we are inclined to waste, if %carful-
ly awaited of for instruction, will, i'll the
long run, make golden hours and golden
days that we shall be ever thankful for.

AFTER trying nearly all the oils and
lubricators for boots, harness, carriages,
etc, II correspondent of the German
town Telegraph gives castor oil the pre-
ference. He says; 1--WE have had
boots n year old that we oiled with it,
and the leather was soft, smooth and
waterproof to the last time they were
used. We apply it clear, without heat.
A little lampblack might be used on old
leather, : but is seldom necessary on
new, ~ the oil itself seems to keep the
backing on, and renders tho leather
black and of fine appearance. For
wagons and buggies we use but very
little at once, but enough to cause it to
run of and catch dirt at the ends of the
hubs, and find that it is in every way
superior. 1t will wear longer, lubricate
better, and is the least Objectionable of
any thing We know of.

AIR IN DIFFERENT LocALIrIEs.-An

interesting paper, valued in a physio-
logical point of view, on the quality OF
air taken from various localities, was
lately read by DR., Sigerson, at Dublin
before the Royal Irish society. In air
from IN iron factory he found, on exam

substance was in the form Of little hol-
low balls, each about two-thousandth
Of an inch in diameter, the iron being
80 thin that the light passed through it.
IN satisfactory air were found flaments
of linen and cotton. Anthony, from
type metal, probably, was discovered
in the air Of printing-rooms. Stable air
was found TO contain. floating hair and
scales and in the air through which to-
bacco smoke was passing nicotine, the
poison Of tobacco, appeared in little
globules.

Fish and Tea as Food.

The London Times sharply contro-
verts the assertion made by DR.. Edward
Smith to the British association, that
fish is rather n relish than food, and con-
tnlns little more nutrimcnt than water.
AS opposed to this statement, the inves-
LEGATIONS of M. Payen are sited, who
proves that tho flesh of fish on the nv
erage does not contain more water than
fresh beef, and has ns much solid sub
stance as tho latter. For instance, the
flesh of salmon contains rs. 70 per cent.
of water, and "a. 207 per cent. solid sub
stances, while beef (muscle) contains
75.SS per cent. water, and 2i.12 per
cent. solid substances. The flesh of her
ring contains still less water than that
of salmon, and even fiat fish are M rich
in heterogeneous substances M the best
wheaton flour, weight for weight. An
other statement made by DIR. Smith,
that the amount of nutriment contained
in an of tea is inlinitesimal, is met
with the assertion that, while ten is no
"nutriment' in the ordinary sense, the
individual who takes tea after HIS meals
feels, without being able to define it,
that tea has n favorable effect upon GER
tain highly important functions in his
body, that digestion is accelerated ard
facilitated, and his FRAMEWORK benefited
thereby. Though not nutriment, tea is
thus alleged to possess n really higher
value, in medical properties of n pecu-
liar kind.

Test OF THINKING.-The test of real,
vigorous thinking, the thinking which
ascertains truths instead of dreaming
dreams, is successful application to
practice. Where that purpose does not
exist to give defininiteness, precision
and ineligible meaning to thought, it
generates nothing better than the mys-
tical metaphysics Of the Pythagoreans or
the Vedas. With respect to practical
improvement, the case is still more ev-
idcnt. The character which improves
human life is that which struggles with
natural powers and tendencies, or that
which gives way to them. The self
beneitting qualities are all on the side
of the active and vigorous character. -

RAILROAD AND WAREHOUSE COM.
MISSION,

Under its new Constitution the State OF
Illinois provided for the appointment of a
commission to supervise its system of rail-
roads and warehouses, so as to protect the
rights and interests of all parties by wise
regulations and prompt remedies where
injustice might be done. The greatest
interest is felt by all classes of business
men and producers in these appointments.
The powerful agricultural and mechanical
organizations are putting forth special
efforts to secure representation. The Chi
chago Inter Ocean says that this can be ex-
planned only upon the ground of the public
Importance of the thing itself, to which may
be added that the farmer class in general
for it is to the farming class we refer
are showing a disposition to grapple
with the social and economical ques-
tons affecting their interests, as unprece-
denied as it is hopeful. It is hopeful, be-
cause it indicates the presence among them
| of a disposition to help themselves-a dis
position to put forth effort to secure their
own good, and to have a hand and q voice
in the correction Of evils affecting them in
common with others. What the farmers
want, and what they can justly demand, is
q representative who shall, in the largest
and best sense, represent them. 1t is not
the highest qualification of such a repre-
sentative that he is a farmer, nor is it a
sufficient identification of a candidate with
this class that he has been or is q member of
an agricultural society; but it should APP
pear that he will carry into the Board a
] knowledge of the wants and wishes of
the agriculturists, from actual contact
with them and from experience like theirs.
And the further evidence should appear
that, while qualified thus, he also possesses
sufficient grasp of mind and honesty OF
purpose and judgment to duly weigh and
regard the wants and rights of all classes
With a commission drawn from the
best men representing the leading inter-
ests of our State neither the public nor
the railroad and warehouse interest would
be likely to suffer. It would at least fur
nish a fair test, under the law, Of a plan
which seems the only alternative short Of
placing railway transportation entirely un-
der government control.
