A New Clover.

Mr.. Patrick Sheriff, long promi-
nent Scotch farmer, and who made an
agricultural tour in this country up
wards of forty years ago. is still rs deep
ly interested as ever it seems, in his
favorite pursuits, Notwithstanding his
advanced years. The Haddingtonshire
Courier says In the spring of 1872 a
plant of clover was picked up by Mr..
Sheriff, growing in a passage leading
from the Haddington Corn Exchange
to garden behind. Few situations
could be imagined more unfavorable to
the growth of a plant of this kind, the
passage being little more than ten or
twelve feet wide, bounded on three
sides by very high wall, open to the
south, and admitting the sun to shine
on the plant for fifteen minutes each
day, but in a great measure shutting
out rain and dews. The plant appeared
remarkable for the strength, height
and number of offsets; and having
been noticed in flower the year before,
IL cannot be less unan nve years Ola,
and has borne five crops of seed The
crop of 1872 was LOST without having
been gathered that of the following
year was sown by Mr.. Sheriff i'm gar
den in Haddington, and about 100
plants have been transferred from the
seed-bed. The original plant contin-
ues strong and healthy. Its height on
the 4th of September last by actual
measurement, was three feet eight
inches, the new clover has every indi-
cation of being perennial. Should
such be the case, and the plant retains
its gigantic habit, it is needless to add
that Mr.. Shcriirs latest discovery will
prove an important addition to British
agriculture, both with respect 20 saw
ing of seeds and increase of fodder.

ers live and labor are all changed. The
soil no longer possesses the power to
return heavy crops of all kinds for the
sowing of seed and scanty culture with
out the use of fertilizers. The pastures
carry less stock and do not fat 1t as
well. The springs are lower and fail
sooner, showing less moisture in the
soil. The taxes are higher. The hab-
its of the people in dress, display, ways
of living and doing business, have APP
preached to extravaganza and the
prices of farm crops have not advanced
to a point to correspond with the other
changes.
These considerations suggest to the
minds of those who study to solve the
problem of making farming remuner-
alive, the inevitable conclusion that
there must be more thorough and
systematic effort on the part of farmers
to increase the productiveness of the
soil both of mowings and pastures, and
to consume the forage and grain crops
of the farm with greater economy.
The farmers who, because labor has
been disproportionately high, have got
along without farm help, doing what
they can and letting the rest CO." have
invariably run behind. If they have
not contracted debts which they can
see no way of paying, they have done
n thing that will, in the end, prove
equally disastrous if persisted in; they
have drawn on Mother Earth without
making adequate provision TO meet the
draft. Their account in the farmers
safest and surest bank is being steadily
over drawn. The rate of discount OH
their drafts is runously high, and the
day Of protest is approaching.
The remedy for this unhappy condi-
ton of things lies in more thorough
farming, and IL attainable by every
farmer.
A correspondence of the New England
Farmer who has expended all his cap
ital for large farm somewhat run out,
with small stock and necessary farm
ing tools, narrates his difficulties and
says: Nov, what | wish to know is,

Gus expenses? l don't like to feel dis

Seeding Apples.

We lately received, from A. ]. Kel-
sey and son of Salisbury, number OF
Seeding apples that, for fine size, beau
tiful appearance, and good quality, ri
val the average of the gratis in general
cultivation, while some of the best OF
them are equal to the best of our graft
ed fruits in the respects named. One,
a very large and handsome sweet APP
pie, of superior quality, is certainly
one of the most promising sweet apples
we ever saw, and should the scions,
when grated OH other stock, prove as
hardy and thrifty as the present seed
ling appears TO be, and it proves TO be
good bearer, it will certainly prove q
great acquisition. So large n number
OF fine looking, promising seedlings
from one lot of seed sown, is certainly
rare.
