Raising Glover Seed.

A very intelligent farmer, born and
raised in a district where clover seed is
a leading crop, writes to the Country
Gentleman:
A point here is worthy of special re-
mark: Where the land was rich, plaster
used, and the season a growing one, so
that the clover grew rank and lodged
badly, the seed did not seem to suffer,
but yielded a good crop. The only OBJ
lection was the moving. This trouble,
however, only happened when plaster
was used. It seemed to add vitality and
give han diness to the plant. There was
more substance" it was thought
certainly more seed. The yield was
generally from two to five bushels per
acre and upward, depending much upon
the thickness of the stand and the ma
ture of the season. Those who did not
spare their seed Gin sowing) were the
fortunate ones. Those who had a thin
stand, and neglected sowing their plas-
ter in time, or omitted it altogether,
were among the unfortunate ones.
The medium clover has almost super
seeded the large. Instead of pasturing
the land, it often, with the medium, has
crop taken for hay this is done in
time to have the field clear at the pro-
per period-sbout the goth of June.
Pasturing, however, seems to be best !;
but it wants to be close, which is never
an advantage to stock. Hence the
scythe is now mostly used. Plaster, an
avoidance of the hot sun and the frost
at the blOssoming period, and a thick
stand, are the three requisites that are
indispensable to success in the raising
of clover seed

The Cattle Trade at Wichita.

A correspondent of the Chicago
Times, writing from Wichita, places
the number of cattle that have come
over the trail up to the LIST at 50, 90S
head, as against A, $50 head for the
corresponding period last year, showing
an increase thus far for the present sea-
son of S,O72. It would appear from the
foregoing figures that the drive this
year will be larger than last year, but,
from the best attainable data, it will
not be over one-half as large as L. st
year. The drovers all started earlier
this year than last, and the drOvers all
concur in saying that there will not be
more than half the number driven out
of Texas that were driven last year.
The best posted cattle men do not
place the entire drive for the season at
over 100, 600 head.
Old drovers say that cattle never
come over the trail looking so we'll as
they do the present season. The APP
parent smallness of the drive will not
make much difference in the price of
beef cattle. Some of the drovers say
there are as many good beef cattle
driven this year as last. Fully four
fifths of the cattle driven this year are
beef cattle, and most of them are in
better condition than the cattle that
were wintered in Kansas. This is due
to the fact that the range was better
during the past winter than at any
time within the memory of the oldest
Texas cattle man.
There isn't as much anxiety among
holders to sell as in former years at
this time, but some cattle are changing
hands. Several large shipments of
through cattle have been made within
the last three days, and shipping will
go on busily from this time forward.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN STORMS.
Have they Any Eject on the Weather
and Harvest OutIOOk3


and Harvest Outlook!
The current Weather Review just
published, contains data of last months
weather. interesting and useful in the
crop calculations of the season. The
very valuable chart, showing the dis
tribution of rain proves that the pre-
cipitation in May was in a manner re-
markably complementary to that OF
April, the districts flooded in the for
mer month escaping excess in the lat
ter month, and those suffering deh-
cheney before were generally replen-
ished. The southern and interior dis
tricts, whose wheat crops ripen early,
had no wetting and destructive " ather
to rot the harvested grain, while the
rainfall on the seaboard has been very
nearly Just what the crops need.
The reports show that in the interior
of Virginia, Wisconsin, Iowa, and In
diana the month was dry and the tenn
perature high, but that heavy dews pre-
JAILED, so that no detrimeDt to the
crops is complained of. These are IA
vorable returns from the agrlcultur-
ist, especially when combined with the
thermometric data for the same pc
Rod. The isothermal chart reveals a
decided superabundance of ~tempera-
ture in the interior and grain growing
states. which, as we know, has been,
since May closed, extended over the en-
tire seaboard.
The electrical phenomena have been
peculiarly violent and frequent, and on
Pixies Peak for twelve days, N the lat
ter half of the month, they were among
the most interesting and instructive on
record, being almost daily attended by
hail storms and thunder storms. We
might, therefore, very properly inquire
whether the prevalence of these violent
thunder storms in the Rocky mountains
toward the end of May does not explain
the similar phenomenon over the east
ern side of the country? And, If so,
would not the indications from Pixies
| Peak furnish an intimation to the west
ern farmers of the coming tornadoes
and hail tempests? The summer wes-
! terly winds, which do the work of con-
| densing the clouds and squeezing out
| their vapor on the soil of the interior
and seaboard states, come largely from
/ the Rocky mountains. They travel, in
the high aerial regions, with twice the
velocity of an express train without
| stoppages, and transport sthe thermal
/ condition eastward with marvellous r.
| Pidity. With a little study of the tri-
/ daily data from which these monthly
summaries are made up we doubt not
the private citizen, the farmer and
steamboatman could gain great adYan-
tages in their respective occupations.
