There is no crop raised on the farm
which tends more to the improvement of
the soil than clover, and as forage crop
it is equal to any other crop uuder culti-
walton. Though it is more difficult to
make into hay than timothy or herds
grass, yet if any part is lost in making
and gathering the hay, the soil will re-
ceive the enriching deposit.
Clover will grow in almost any soil
which is not too wet, but its tavorite is
deep, sandy loan, in which the long tap
root can penetrate way down. 1t borrows
more of its growth from the atmosphere
than most other crops. The tap root
draws most of its nOurishment from the
subsoil, and the tops extract largely
from the dew and the atmosphere, there
by greatly enriching the surfice-soil for
wheat and timothy. A good crop of
clover in full blossom, tops and roots,
will sum up in weight between eight and
ten tons of green Vegetable matter per
acre, to plow under to enrich and mellow
the soil; and where can be found a
cheaper manure to improve heavy soil?
Lime and clover are the cheapest means
by which to enrich the land for the growth
of wheat. Stable manure is decidedly
the best, but it is entirely too dear, and
farmers must retort to other means to
keep up the fertility of their land.
| have met with much success in raj
sing clover among oats, but the ground
must be we'll cultivated to insure good
growth of clover After the cat crop is
sown and well narrowed, next pass over
the field with drag to crush the clods
IL hn bo
six feet long, with a block nailed on one
of the hind corners underneath, by which
every "bout" will mark off land twelve
feet wide, which is the right width to
SOW clover, seed at two casts; and after
the clover is sown, harrow the ground to
cover the seed.
To SOW clover seed on winter grain,
March is the right time, when there is
snow on the ground. Take IA span of
horses to a sled, and mark the field off in
lands proper width to SOW by; then
let the sewers follow the sled. Clo-
yer can be sown much eveneT on the
snow than otherwise, because YOU can see
precisely if you are sowing if even or not.
In my opinion, clover is under estimated
by farmers, and should he much more in
cultivation than is general. A clover lot
near the pig pen can be cut four or five
times during the summer, if not left to
go to blossom, and it makes the most
economical feed for swine; and if it is
moved down about the time the blossom
begins to form. and slightly wilted and
free from dew and moisture, and packed
away with sufficient salt, the hogs will
relish it as much in the winter season as
cattle, and it makes good feed for sows
and pigs

Two petitions for license to retail
spirituous liquors in our city are on file
in the Mayors office; one from Mr. T..
Jones, and one from Mr.. L. Baker.
Neither complies with the acquisitions
of the law, but what is a matter Of aston
ishment to us is that they are signed by
so many white females. and by males and
females who are members of our various
churches Among them are Catholics
(though Plus IX has just sent his pontif-
cal benediction to the National Total Alb
stinence Union, which recently held its
session in Chicago) Methodists, Episcopal
lians, Preshyterians, and we believe
Baptists. Most of those signers we know
to be as much opposed to intemperance
as we are ourselves, but they justify their
action on the ground that the use of ar
dent spirits cannot be prevented by pro-
hibitory laws, and that it is better to Ii
cense retailers in order that the State
may derive some revenue. Holly Springs
South.
These people, whose action so amazes
and puzzles our cotemporary, no doubt,
remember that the only way to arrest in
temperance and stop the liquor bunsiness,
to correct taste and to reform conscience;
and that it is absurd for the government
10 be a partner in the manufacture of IL
quors and at the same time, undertake
10 make one mode of selling it penal
offence Moreover, they are not unin-
formed of the operations of the liquor
law in Maine and other Puritan States
where legislation for the prevention of
drunkenness has been thoroughly tested.
Il has been in existence there a quarter
Of a century with these results
Portland, the chief city in the State,
has grown in population 90 per cent
snce the law went into operation, and
the number of places where the prohib
ited liquor is sold has increased 200 per
cent Bangor has population of ID, 900,
aud 500 places where liquor is sold-be-
ing one salo to every 90 inhabitants
an uncommonly liberal allowance for a
people who do not allow themselves 10
drink.
Massachusetts, is another State where
the Maine law exists, and where the sale
Of liquor is theoretically prohibited. Its
effects there are scarcely less striking than
in Maine. The number of arrests for
drunkenness in Boston has increased from
$3.50 in 1856 to 1850 in 1870 The
arrests for drunkenness in that city aver
age one 70 every sixteen inhabitants,
while in New York, where is no prohibi-
tory law, they average one in twenty
seven, and in st, Louis one in forty-two.
From this experience, shrewdly OBJ
serves a cotemporary, it is evident that
Prohibition does not prohibit. and that
there is not so much in the course of the
male and female members of the churches
at Holly Springs to excite "astonish-
ment," after all

Rice Corn

The following paragraph was copied
into this paper yesterday, from the New
York Commercial Advertiser "a Geor-
gia planter drained his rice swamp last
spring. a hybrid crop is his reward, the
stalk, blades and cob being that of corn,
while the kernels on the cob are rice. A
gentleman in this city showed us an ear
of corn Yesterday which partakes strongly,
in appearance at least, of the hybrid char
acter described in this paragraph. The
grains were shaped somewhat like grains
of rice, but were thicker, and were Of al
most the exact color of rice. The seed
formally came from South Carolina. 1t
appears very probable to us that it is a
hybrid, and that it will develop more of
the nature of corn and less of rice each
year that it is cultivated remotely from
the rice field. Macon Telegraph ard

The Chicago Times. has had It's eyes
opened. For several months past il has
stigamtized the Patrons of Husbandiv ami
the members OF Farmers Club. as
"Texas steers, and all that sort of thing
In its issue of Monday II has the follow
ing:
"Those who laugh at the Patrons of
Husbandry, and effect to believe that
they are an insignificant power in the
land, will do well to study the statistics of
the order furnished by our Washington
correspondent. 1t seems that there are
in all 20, 800 oranges in the United States.
Iowa has the largest number of any State
-2,000. Indiana comes next with 1 ,99l,
and Illinois can boast of lob. 1t would
therefore appear that there are at least
three-ouarter of million of voters belong
ing to the order, and in every State in the
Union they doubtless hold the balance of
power between the two parties. If they
shou choose to act in body on political
questions could be absolutely the dietators
of the nation. 1t will not do, therefore,
to regard the order lightly"
If the farmers will adhere to their or
ganizations and cooperate with other
industrial associations, they will soon
have the power to redeem this country
from a large share of its unwholesome
laws.

eleven families, with the same number

Fashion and Society.

The last Partisan rumor threatens the

1884.
False hair isn't going out Of fashion as
reported. The information is from lady
who has a bald head and fifty dollars
worth of false curls.
Coupon tickets for weddings are the last
It wouldn't be bad thing to have such
tickets for the wooden, crystal, linen,
silver and golden weddings, but long be-
fore the wooden wedding time the bride
has generally snubbed all her husbands S
friends and quarrelled with all of her
own.
\ certain Episcopal Clergyman in New
York refused to allow a rehearsal Of a
wedding in his church the day before the
ceremony was announced to take place.

has grown to be very common. We are
