WHY CLOVER IMPROVES THE
SOIL

Professor Vcckler thus explains the &C
ton of clover increasing the fertility of
soil:
"All who are perfectly acquainted with
the subject must have seen that the best
crops of wheat are produced by being pre-
ceeded by crops Of clover grown for seed.
I have come to the conclusion that the
very best preparation, the best manure, is
good crop of clover. A vast amount of
mineral manure Is brought within reach of
the corn cop which otherwise would re-
main ia locked-up condition In all the
soil. The clover plants take nitrogen from
the atmosphere, and manufacture it into
their own substance, which on decomposi-
ton of the clover roots and leaves, pro-
duces abundance of ammonia. In reality
the growing of clover is equivalent, to a
great extent, TO manuring with Peruvian
guano."
Take, for instance, red clover, the best of
all green manures. The great English
chemist, Prof. Way, of the Royal Agricultu-
raj College at Cirencester, made psrfect
analysis of dry red clover, and found every
one hundred parts to contain as follows:
Silica. ................ O.50
Lime. ..........sss....ss ........s 'zz.oZ

The Mo.n ana ,hc weathor.

After testing the question again and
agaih, modern meteorologists have come
to the conclusion that the moon has no
sort ofinhuence over the weather, agree
ing with the Iron Duke, that it is pom.
sense TO place any faith in her as q
weather predictor. Time was when she
was thought absolute mistress OF the sea
sons. PliHy has the following weather
wisdom: Fine weather, wind or rain
may be looked for according as the moon
rises with pure white, red or swartby
light II, at full moon, half the
disk is clear, fine weather is be
tokened; If red, wind; if black,
rain. If at the rising of the new
moon the upper horn is obscured, there
will be prevalence of wet when she is
on the wane; if the lower horn is OBJ
scured, there will be rain before she at
tains her full; if both herns appear OBJ.
tuse, frightful tempest is near; il they
are sharp and erect, high winds may be
expected. Darwin declares it as sure
sign Of coming rain when the moons
horn is hidden in haloes. A correspon-
dent of Notes and Queries says large
circle round the moon, with north or
northeast wind, predcates stormy
weather; if the wind comes from any
other quarter there will still be rain but
less of it. ala

From the Richmond Dispatch, 1Sth.l
The duel between w. Page McCarty
and John B. Mordecai has caused great
excitement in our community, and all
day Saturday on our streets might be
seen groups of young and old men dis
cussing the causes which led to this
much to be regretted event, and asking
the condition of the wounded. Both OF
the principals are young men highly
respected, and the sad occurrence has
cast gloom over not only the friends of
the parties, but the community gen

at which time challenge passed be-
tween the parties, when mutual friends
interfered, and the matter was adjusted,
as was then thought, amioably. ~

men, and it is reported that a fight OF
short duration was the result when the
parties were separated.
From what we have been able to
gather,

chosen being Colts navy pistols, at ten

placed in position, and the words we're
given, "Gentlemen, are you ready2--hrel

we're fred, but neither party was hit. The
seconds then stepped forward and asked
each of the gentlemen tr'
