something about churns. In the reports Of

barrel churn as being the best, but l 6ud
nothing about the construction Of it nor how
il operates, where it can be had, or the cost
can any one give me more light about itH
Can any one that is not interested, and that
knows, tell me whether the Blanchard churn
is inferior to the Fyler or notP Intending
to make change l wish to get as good a
one as there Is. Will some one oblige q

telling you how much like your paper, it

For tho amusement of children between

vice is recommended. Spread on the floor
of the playroom your largest newspaper,
take little stand or table and spread II
paper ON that also, and then allow tho little

and shovel out their paths, or make drifts

toys into. tho meal without injury. Their
cars can be blocked up and need to be res
cued from their peril, or their little people
and animals can be nearly buried in it, and
all sorts of exciting adventures happen out
of that meal. OF course, cakes can be made
by filling tins, but it is better not to allow
any wetting of the meal, rs that Injuries it
for their plays, and is cold to the hands of n
delicate child. After the allotted hour or
two hours of meal time, brush it into n box
and put it out of sight, in reserve for the
next unoccupied day.

HOW TO GET RID OF MICE.

notice in the FARMER Of Feb. 9th that
Laurs b. Boyce wishes to know how to get
rid of mice without poisoning the family, so
I will give q little of our experience
About year ago our buildings were in
tested with mice, and, as we had little
faith in cats and less in poisSns, my son
bought wooden mousetrap with wire
springs, baited it with pumpkin seeds, and
wherever their tracks were seen the trap
was placed, and "A a little while he caught
more than one hundred. Since that we
have been troubled but little with them.
We have tried batting with cake crumbs and
cheese, but prefer pumpkin seeds brokon in
two, as they seem TO scent them better.

ALSlKE CLOVER.

1t is still an unsettled question depending
upon further experiment whether the Alsike
clover is to come into general cultivation for
hay and pasturage. Its first introduction in
to the state was about fifteen years ago, and
it seems little strange that the question Of
its utility has not been more generally can
vassed. About fifteen years ago the secre-
tary Of the State Board Of Agriculture OBJ
tanned small quantity Of the seed from
Sweden and distributed it among the differ
ent members Of the Board for trial, but 30
far as can learn few if any Of them ever
really tested its utility. There was about it
a very interesting oddity,--a very fragrant
long extended bloom, which both in green
and cured state gave delicious bite that all
farm stock were eager to taste, and yet there
was something in its delicacy that seemed to
the farmers more like the flower garden than
the clover field. The difficulty of getting
the seed in large quantities was another bar
rier in the way of seeding down large fields,
but from all can learn every one admits at
once the superior quality of the hay, and
mono can say why il may not on the whole
be better variety to cultivate than the
common sorts now in use. About the time
of the immigration of our Swedish colony
here it began to receive more serious atteu-
tion among our stsck-raising farmers, and
frOm present appearances it seems likely be.
fore long to come into general cultivation.
1t was always hard to get any marketable
hay on our new land from our Northern clo-
yer. 1t grew so rank sAat before it could
be cured the leaves were gone, leaving bare
seed-bol|s sometimes not worth ssving On
this account the Southern clover was exten.
sively used, giving often two light crops oI
better hay; but in comparing crops the AL
sike is fully equal in bulk aud far superior
in quality. Its habit Of continuing to grow
on the same stalk with new shoots and new
blossoms will keep the hay green and swee
when seed is ripened sufficiently to thrash.
The long, slender stalk is inclined to Lodge
down like the white clover, and there il
probably needed very smooth bottom t
get the hay upon. How it will do or hole
out for pasture We have not yet learned, mol
do We yet know how often it may need sow
ing in The hay field. 1t seems inclined t
grow and continue in bloom much like 'th'
common white clover, aud will most likely
be found favorable for second cropping.
is said that nothing equal to it was ever in
trodueed here for pasturagc. Its fragrant
blossoms are scented long distances by thu
bees and every other insect in search of tn,
same food; we do not expect the farmer
not interested in bees to make any sacric
in their hay crop to feed our bees, but if thu
Alsike clover will improve their hay ant
pasturage is will be no stealing for our bee
to save what would go to waste on the scent
ed air, and even their instructive decision 0
what is good is worth knowing.
