FARM AND HOME.
Glover After Potatoes.

The Maine Farmer says: eve were
long since reluctantly convinced that clo-
yer will not flourish nearly as well follow
ing a crop of potatoes as it will after most
other farm crops. Experience has taught
us and-a somewhat extended observa-
ton has proven that our experience is not
exceptional-that well set, thick field of
clover is rarely to met with following q
grain crop after potatoes. Indeed, so fully
have we been convinced of this that we
have at times thought the statement would
be safe that such could not be found, The
results are different, without doubt, on
different soils, and on the same soil when
under different treatment; still the rule,
we are confident, holds good. Since our
attention was called to this matter we have
carefully observed results. We had un-
der observation last year large field of
uniformly strong soil, previously plowed
and MANFRED alike and at the same time,
all sown with wheat when seeded to clo-
vera part of which has been planted
with corn and part TO potatoes. When
the grass-mostly clover-was cut, that on
the portion where corn was grown was
Judged to be double that where potatoes
were grown. The past winter clover was
not Killed at all, and at the present time
the difference promises to be as great as
last wear.

Good Advice from a Farmer.

EDITORS CHRONICLE The farmers of
East Tennessee, can not be too often re-
minded that what we should aim at, is
fewer crops, cleaner culture, and a larger
yield per acre. The people of the United
States are great beef and mutton eating
people. Already large proportion of the
beef consumed in the Atlantic cities is
raised in East Tennessee. The price for
the moment seems to be low, but it will
not remain so long. The farmer that
raises good beef or mutton in East Ten
nessee, need mot fear that the half-wild
cattle of Texas will drive him to the wall.
There is no sort of danger. Unaided, ma
ture can not compete with agriculture any
better than the Indian can compete with
the Anglo-Saxon. Our population is rapid
ly increasing and the demand for meat will
continue to increase from year to year.
The demand is unceasing and he is a wise
farmer who looks ahead and quietly and
perseveringly improve his farm and his
stock. He is certain of his reward. Wool,
mutton beef, pork, cheese, butter, milk,
poultry, and all other animal products will
be wanted, more and more as the condition
OF the country improves. The point 1
want to get at is this. We have a large
country. Land is comparatively cheap
and labor is high, crops are large in extent
and small in yield and many of our farms
are getting more weedy and less product
I've. NOW, what we should ann at IS to
makeIthem cleaner and richer. We ought
to devote less land to the production of
grain that are sold and more to the pro-
ductiOn of such crops as are fed out to ami
mails on the farm. We all know that it is
better to raise 800 bushels of wheat from
ten acres than to pillow, seed and reap twen-
tyi or thirty acres to get the same
amount, we obtain no more money
for the crop in the one case than the other,
but the profits are quadrupled. To bring
this about we must SOW clover more FREE
quently and not sell pound of it. The
atmosphere always contains vast amount
of fertilizing matter, and clover is plant
that draws great deal of its support from
the atmosphere. 1t is a vehicle for con-
veying fertiliZing elements from the at
mosphere to the soil. The greater the
growth of the clover the greater the size of
the vehicle and the greater its work, and
after crop is cut and hauled away, even
the clover was sown. We must aim to
save labor, enrich the land, reduce the
area under tillage, and when it is plowed,
cultivate thoroughly to kill weeds and de-
velope the latent plant-food in the soil.
Plant-food is the farmers capital. 1t is
present in large quantities in most soils,
but great proportion of it lies idle. Our
profits will be in proportion to the amount
of this plant-food that we can render avail
able and keep in active circulation with
out allowing it to diminish faster than
fresh quantities are developed from the de-
composing action of the atmosphere.

An address on agriculture was delivered
in the court house last Saturday by c. w,
Charlton, after which the farmers Club
Rurdt Sun. LafH uRLGlI1b raised for the
sided oyer the Club meeting and r. J.
Allen and w. B. Scott, Jr. acted as Secre-
taries. A vigorous effort is to be made to
organize clubs over the county. The
farmers certainly need to organize and
work in harmony, buildingup the farming
interests of the county. They are the
bone, the sinew and the life of the coun-
try, and certainly need to bring about
concert of action, that their interests may
be advanced, and themselves elevated
to higher standard in prosecuting their
calling, it being a calling where success is
certain, if well followed, as well as the
most honorable of all professions.
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen
has passed an ordinance forbidding the
sale of watermelons within the corporate
limits. Last Saturday one of our good
farmer citizens drove up on the street with
his vehicle loaded with the delicious fruit,
when Lhe was Immediately waited on
by the Marshal who informed him of
the ordinance, whereupon the load of mel
ons was removed just outside the corpo-
rate line and rapidly sold out. The effect
was good one, and the town authorities
deserve much praise for this action, Here
tofore stale melons have laid for days,
while decayed rinds laying in the streets
and sidewalks have been a great nuisance
at times attracting an unpleasant number

How to Tell Pure Water.

An English technical periodical points
out an easy way Of testing whether water
is good and lit for general use. 1t says:
Good water shouldb be free from color, I'M
pleasant odor and taste, and should quick
1y afford lather with small portion of
soap. If half pint of the water be placed
in a perfectly clean, colorless glass stopper
ed bottle, few grains of the best white
lump sugar added, and the bottle freely
exposed to the daylight in the window of a
warm room, the liquid should not become
turbid, even after exposure for week or
ten days. If the water becomes turbid, it
is open to the grave suspicion of sewerage
contamination but if it remain clear, it is
almost certainly safe. We owe to Heisch
this simple valuable, but hitherto strange
ly neglected, test.

The Oranges Repudiating Politics.

OSHKOSH CITY, WIS, July 3O,-The Ex-

Dried Fruit,

In its report of the New York dried
fruit market, the american Grocer states
that dried apples have been almost entire
ly cleaned up in that market, for French
orders from Havre, which, together with
the prospect for a short crop, lead dealers

ers are holding a moderate stock, stored
partly in the fruit houses. Several small
shipments have been made to New York,

APPLES as Diet,

1t is stated that by a careful analysis it
has been.foundtha apples contain larger
amount of phosphorus, or brain food than
any other fruit or vegetable, and, on this
account they are very important to seden-
tary men who work their brains rather
than their muscles. Theya also contain the
acids which are needed every day, especi-
liver is sluggish, to eliminate effete mat
ter, which, if retained in the system pro-
duce inaction of the brain, and indeed of
the whole system, causing jaundice, sleep
mess, scurvy, and troublesome diseases of

Working Corn.

The Farmers Union says: 1.-THE great
evil to the corn crop in this part of the
West is, farmers will work it too much.
OF course, the weeds must be subdued, but
the practice of putting a shovel-plow into
the cornfield up to the beam, is a bad one,
especially after it is in the tassel or silk.
Before that time this kind of pillow may
be used with profit. The breaking off of
the roots of corn by blowing has tenden-
cy to put back the ripening of the crop.
New roots and fibers have to form, which
retards the growth of the ears and grain"
