How CLOVER IMPROVES THE Soil

How CLOVER IMPROVES THE SOIL
Prof. ToeIcker thus explains the action
of clover in increasing the fertility of
soils "All who are practically ac-
quainted with the subject must have
seen that the best crops of wheat are
produced by being preceded by crops OF
clover grown for seed. I have come to
the conclusion that the very best pre-
paration, the very best manure, is a good
crop of clover. i A vast amount
of mineral manure is brought within
reach of the corn crop which otherwise
would remain in a locked-up condition
in the soil. The clover plants take
nitrogen from the atmosphere manufac-
ture it into their own substance, which,
on decomposition of the clover roots
and leaves, produces abundance of am
monia. In reality, the growing of clover
is equivalent, to a great extent, to
manuring with Peruvian guano; and in
this paper of mine I show that you OBJ
tain a larger quantity of manure than in
the largest dose of Peruvian guano
which a farmer would ever think of APP
plying. 1t is only by careful
ly investigating subjects like the one
under consideration that positive proofs
are given showing the correctness of
intelligent observes in the field.

CouaDse of the Nerves.

There is nothing more disheartening than ner-
vous debility. In extreme cases of this class the
sufferers do not care whether they live or die. a
feeling of hopelessness comes over Lhem. and in
some instances where the threatening symptoms
are not met by prompt and proper treatment, Iu-
macy or idiOcy ensues Yet nervous debility is not
a dangerous complaint if wisely dealt with. A
medfcated stimulant is the remedy needed, and in
Hostettor's Stomach Bitters this specific for the
complaint is presented in its purest and most po-
tent form. Nervousness is usually compIicat ted
with other ailments. It frequently involves bill

Breaking Land.

The Southern CztltiUGto7' favors US
with the following pointed hints The
present and the next month are apt to
be rainy, and the land in consequence,
not often in condition to receive the
pillow. We urged our readers IN the
autumn months to press forward their
blowing. If they do so, we congratu-
late them now on freedom from the har-
RAISING apprehension that if they wait
for land to get in proper condition they
may fail to finish up before planting
time; or, if disregarding the condition
of their lands, they push on, many find
them, after the winds of spring have
passed over them, in worse condition
than if they never had been touched.
To those who have been so unfortunate
as to be caught between the two horns
of this dilema, our advice Is, Take the
chances of getting through in time, and
plough only when the land is sufficiently
dry. See the plough gear, the double
and single trees, and the ploughs them
selves, in the best possible condition, so
as not to lose a moment of precious
time; Provide extra ones of such things
as are liable to get out of order, and be
on hand yourself to repair every breach
promptly. Look we'll ahead, and dur
ing wet weather do all necessary work,
as milling, hauling wood, sending to
blacksmith's shop, and other avoidable
things, so that none of these may claim
attention in fair weather. Substitute
mani cement for routine, and you will,
in all probability, come out right in the
end.
Stubble and rested land should re
ceive attention first. Instead of plough
ing these in lands Is or 20 feet wide, it
is decidedly better to lay off the rows
and bed up regularly. It is easier to
run the level on the smooth surface be-
fore ploughing, than on the rough one
after Besides, the laying off of guide
rows can be done Ieisurely during wet
times, whereas, if delayed till spring,
time is apt to press heavily. But the
! greatest advantage is, that lands thrown
up in beds, does not become so badly
''water sogged" as that lying fiat, and
the healthy action of the atmosphere is
very much greater in the former than
the latter

RoOTs AND On CAKE FOR SHEBP.-If
growers of combing wool should raise
sheep primarily to produce mutton !;
should attend to the breed, and keep
their sheep ell fed, and care for them
generally, and should also try and ma
ture them early, so as toseII the carcass,
we should have wool from well-fed,
young, healthy, strong well-bred, fat
sheep, which is just the wool wanted
for combing and delaine purposes.
Farmers cannot keep these large sheep
on lean pastures, with but little care of
them, and have good wool And the
great reason combing wool sheep run
out when brought from England or
Canada, is that they do not get the same
care and treatment they had in those
countries, and are often kept soil
they are not adapted to, and are not fed
sufficiently. The wool from a Leicester
sheep that has been in the United States
two years is generally hsrsher, lsaneT
and worth much less than it would have
been if the sheep had stayed in Canada
or England. Now this will not always
beso, for growers viii yet learn that these
large sheep need more to eat than the
small merinO, and their food should net
consist of Indian corn, but they should
have some roots, mangel wurtzel and
oil cake. When sheep are fed on corn
they are too hot and feverish, and the
wool becomes harsh and brittle, while q
proper supply of roots and oil cake,
with other food, viii produce soft, sound,
elastic wool. -FarHser' AdVOcdte

The New Gables


one OF the new cables is thus de-
scribed in the World Two thousand
five hundred and sixty-seven miles of
the new cable that is soon to connect
Old England with the Dominion of
Canada is now on board the Great Eas-
tern, at present anchored in the estuary
OF the Midway, where she will lay until
about the Doth of May. This cable will
start from Germoe, on the north side of
Mounts bay, Cornwall The bay is
especially adapted for such a purpose,
being sheltered from the heaviest seas,
protected as it is from twenty-five points
of the compass, the remaining seven
covering an area in which no great run
of sea can be got up. The shore is also
suitable, forty fathoms of water being
reached in about four miles. The de-
scent into the decentralization bottom
is also much less abrupt than on the
Irish coast. The cable will be landed
at Fresh-water cove In Halifax harbor,
on a piece of land in the occupation of
the English war Office. There will then
be laid branch cable from Freshwater
cove to and around Montauk point.
Long Island, landing on Hog island,
and from thence to New York city by a
land line. The line is to be put down
by the same company now owning what
is called the French line, and as they
have working arrangement with the
other lines, the public are not likely to
derive any immediate advantage in the
shape of cheaper rates. The Halifax
and Hog island section and the shore
ends viii be conveyed in threeFvessels.
The Hibernia of 1000 tons, Edinbul oh
of 5000 tons and the La Plata of about
1900 tons and it is hoped that if moth
ing goes wrong the cable will all be
laid and in working order to this city
by the Goth of june. The new cable
differs somewhat from any of those hith-
erto laid, either across the Atlantic OF
elsewhere. There are seven No. Is
gauge copper wires twisted in a spiral
and weighing 800 pounds per nautical
mile, and these are covered with four
coats of gutta-perch with thin layers of
Chatterton's compound, this amounting
to 400 pounds per knot. The diameter
of each wire is about O48 inch, of the
strand 0.146 inch, and of the wire and
gutta-percha compound O.464 inch.
This core is served with hemp, and the
hempis again protected by ten wires
drawn from homogeneous iron, each
wire being swathed in fine yarns of ma
Mia hemp laid on spirally with a tarry
compound to preserve it. So far the
cable is not dissimiIar to those of 1866
and 1866, and is almost identical with
that of the French cable of 1868 but il
is sensibly larger, and the difference is
owing to two servings of jute yarn
wound on in contrary directions and
covered with two coats of Latimel
Clark's preserative compound. The
cable weighs about 200 pounds per knot
more than the previous cables, but it is
even stronger in proportion and is cal
culated to last at least twice as long
under the same conditions.
