Glover Seed.
From the State Register

FROM Tue bthIe Register
The high price Of clover seed is
the greatest impeachment to its more
general prevalence on farms for pas
ture, hay and fertilizer. 1t is the
greatest rcnovator Of worn out soil,
and must come into more general use
as our soil becomes older and more
cnfeebled. The seed is produced
from the second crop, the first being
only valuable for hay. An ordinary
crop is from three to five bushels per
acre, sometimes seven bushels. At
the lowest product, if clover hullers
were to be had like grain separators,
it would be more prof table than small
grain. BUTT is almost indispensable
among good farmers that some clover
should be sown, and it would be well
for more cooperation among farmers.
One huller would do the work of a
dozen farmers, and if bought in part
nership would bear lightly on them
individually. In the older parts of
the United States, where it is impos-
sible to get along on the farm with
out large proportion devoted to this
fertilizer, jobbers go about the coun-
try threshing and hulling clover, as
they do wheat in Iowa. 1t may be
such is the case in parts of this State.
But where the farmers cannot avail
themselves of such advantages, they
should combine and purchase a
neighborhood machine. Glover is
indispensable to a prudent and profit
able management of a farm, but it
will never become as prevalent rs it
would be until farmers can get the
seed more easily than at present in
many parts of the State. Oul prairies
are well adapted to the growth of
clover, and its presence on the farm
is evidence that the owner not only
wishes to prosper at present, but that
he desires to transmit a valuable farm
to his children or posterity. This
winter is good time to talk this
matter up Iii neighborhoods. Many
would SOW clover that do not, if they
could see how they were to have their
seed hulled. But they must see to
that themselves. No jobber will come
into neighborhood where no clover
is raised, and where there is no bnsi-
ness for such machine. We have
bought Pennsylvania and New York
clover seed long enough.

The Crop Prospect.

The Chicago Inter Ocean of last Satur- day reports from 400 towns in the north west, giving the account of the eL Lndition of crops in Missouri. Wheat and oats are badly eaten by grasshoppers, and fears are entertained that in the large breadth plant ed much grain will be destroyed by them. Fruit is uniDjured. In Wisconsin, winter wheat is slightly injured, spring wheat is planting and fruit is somewhat injured. In 1udiara wheat has been badly injured by the cold weather. Rye and barley will also be short crops. Oats will not yield more than half crop and the fruit crop will bc almost a total failure. Corn planting Is de- layed on account of the frost. In Kansas the season has been favorable. The large aress of wheat and oats sown are in a fife condition. In Michigan the season is backward, wheat is badly injured by the frost and in many localities the farmers are turning it but. Oats and corn as we'll as most small fruits are killed. In Nebras- ka the prospects for all grains and fruits are f1attering In Minnesota the season is backward. The average breadth of spring wheat is sown. The winter wheat is unin- Jured and small fruit promises well. In Iowa little more than the average amount of spring wheat is sown and will yield well. But little winter wheat is sown and that is uninjured. Fruits will be an average crop. Oats and barley are badly injured. In Hi nois the prospects for winter wheat are very discouraging. Where large areas are usually sown there will net be over half a crop. Many wheat fields are being plowt d for corn. Spring wheat and oats are dam aged, as are also rye and barley. Some fruits are. generally destroyed,

 We are not dead or sleeping, but on the contrary are equally as frisky as usual, if not little more so. We have been wait ing silently and mournfully for grim old winter to let go his iron grip on gentle spring. but at last give it up in despair: she has struggled violently with the hideous old tyrant with only now and then temporary success, and the indications are strong that she will take her'ext as she had begin ming in his icy embrace. MT. Weller, the elder, would think, very appropriately say here, "I'm afcered Sammy that rayther vcrges on the poetical." Well if it does, Mr. Editor, you must excuse it this once and not allow yourself to be forced to a conclusion that your correspondent is hope lessly insane, but be more charitable and attribute that poetical touch to temporary insane impulse. and will give bond for future good behavior, not to make public exhibition of any more idiosyncracics un- der penalty of being sent to !unatic asy- lum. ...... Work on the new town hall is pro- gressing. About half dozen stone masons are daily at work in the street fashioning into proper form huge rough blocks of stone, for such parts of the building as the specifications require, and by their click, click, click make quite refreshing break to the monotonous stiffness which usually pre- vails... MT. I. N. Bartram is erecting a large addition to his building on New street, which has been already leased to MT. Tut tie of the Amenia Hotel, Amenia, N. Y., who proposes, understand, to open first class hotel here with special reference to city boarders. He will supervise the man. agement of both houses, and having well deserved reputation of one out of many that can keep hotel, we trust he will be equal to the emergency and show that he can go one better and successfully keep two hotels. s.....Mr. Myron Whitney is doing a surprisingly large business in horses this spring. He has just returned from the west for the third time with a large num- Der of very superior horses and if report is true they are going off like hot cakes. .. MT. George H. Chase, has already procured his ticket for the great centennial exhibi-- ton next year; or at least if it is not tick ct pro formo it ought to be good for the admission of himself and friends Cyou see I am fishing to get in on that ticket my sel). It consists of five dollar note in perfect state of preservation, payable in Spanish dollars, and issued by authority of the Continental Congress on May 9th, l776.

Obituary.

The death oc Charles Culver of this place (Millsrton) which occurred April 10th, was very sudden and severe shock to this whole community. The bereavcu parents and sisters have the heartfelt sympathy of all neighbols and friends. They have the consolation of knowing that Charlie died trusting h Jesus. His parents hardly thought it possible to live without him, as he seemed 10 be growing more and more necessary to them from day to day. and they had looked upon him as their earthly support in their declining years. With the early sprng he has taken his last farewell. Dear friends Charlie is s'not lost, tut gone before." Methinks l hear you ask, And can it be that we n ver shall hear the mu-- sic of his voice again never meet the lov- ing glances of his dear eyes? In vain you will listen for the lght, busy footfall in valn watch fer the coming of him whose presence diffused such bright, glad suh- shine around you. The house seems SO still, and though its threshold be still uod- den by friendly feet, it is as if empty.
 There are his clothes, there bis books, there
 his hat and cane. there his ever vacant seat at the family hoard. During his sickness you had not so much noticed these thir gs,
 for you hop, d he would use and occupy
 lhem again, but now you know it cannot
 be, and you deeply feel your inexpressible
 loss. A lonely and cherished tl0wer-God
 hath transplanttd him in a higher and ho- Tier sphere, and we shall often shed tears
 of sadness when we think that he will come to us no mere. His youthful years were bright and promising, and hope with its fondest anticipations chrered bis pathway into opening manhood. The grief-stricken
 mother sad to me the day after the funcr- al: 'Oh, dear L--! what shall do without my Charlie ?" What answer could give, but to send her to her Savior for comfort and consolation. who is "able
 and willing to bear all cur burdens for us"
 and ''afflicts not willingly, but for our good" Mourn not, fond parents and SIS
 ters, for your loved one is freed from 6 thousand ills that wait on life's unwary path. He has gone to rest with Jesus. We can truly sympathize with you in this be reavement. God once took from us be-
 lovtd child. We had never loved any earth ly object SO tenderly. It was merry,
 bright-eyed boy, just as beautiful as ever came from the hard of God. And, Oh,
 how we miss him, now that he has gone from us. The little chair is empty, the crib at our bedside tenantcss- All his little
 garments, the silent playthiugs, and the 1 crumpled shoes, are reminders that 'little Bertle" is gone. We miss his smiles and
 kisses when we awake, and now, alas ' no | little head is pillowsd on our breast at night. Blessed are the homes to which
 these treasures,have been given and blessed
 too the home from which they have been
 taken Our bereaved hearts are drawn up
 ward by the treasures in the heavenly
 home. May we ever be enabled, by the grace of God, to say ''The Loid hath given,
 and the Lord hath taken away! Blessed | be the name of the Lord" Not my will,
 but thine, Oh God, be done. E.L.

Sheffield.
 It is with sadness that I write of the death of our friend and neighbor, Mrs. David Pratt. After an illness of but one week she died April 2srd, leaving large circle of friends to regret her loss. Her disease was typhoid fever. Mrs. Pratt has been resident of this town for 40 years, and her life has eyer been one of usefulness and christian charity. In her death we lose kind neighbor and sympathizing friend. She has ever been consistent christian woman, and for her to die is but 10 pass through the eternal gates, to rest and joy beyond, where she will meet her waiting husband. Many will long remember David Pratt as 2 man much loved in this commu- nifty. and as his loss was much lamanted, no less will Mrs. Pratt be missed. No one spoke her name but to praise her, and her memory will eyer be bright in the hearts of those who knew her best. Her funeral was attended at the Congregational church on Sunday afternoon. LUNA.
