Clover and Grass.

Many farmers have correct notions
rs to the value of clover and grass
which grow in sight above ground, that
may be cut for hay or eaten by stock,
who have never considered the worth
of clover and the stems and crowns
just above, nor Of the roots of grass
from which mainly rich turf is form
cd. A few scientific men in Great
Britain, Germany and France have in
vestigated this matter, and find that
while healthy clover plants in good
soil are forming one hundred pounds
of stems and leaves that will make hay,
the roots below, Invested of dirt, will
weigh fifty-six pounds, allowing two
years for growth and three cuttings of
the clover, two the second year and one
the first Clover roots and stubble
more than pay the cost of production
as manure to the land, whether you
iertilize for a crop of wheat. corn, or
cotton or tobacco tits good economy
20 sow about one hundred pounds of
land plaster to the acre Of clover, to
augment the crop.
To make good firm turf. ona past
urc or meadow, is more difficult than
many suppose. To form a nice green
sod in lawn, one should sow a plenty
OF grass seed in autumn or winter with
top dressing of manure, narrowing
the ground well before seeding, and
rolling it afterwards. For field graz
ing, mixture of blue grass redtop,
and orchard grass yields excellent feed
on fair land. Prepare the ground first
rate. and then sow az least half bush
ell of each kind of seed on the same
acre, and three pecks or a bushel
would be better. The high price of
orchard grass seed is absurd. There
Is altogether too much gambling in
seeds. Farmers should turn over a
new leaf. and give more attention to
the production of all needful seeds
From seeds to turf there is but one
step. A turf that has grown four years
has been worth six tons of hay for
manure, or six good crops before the
sod was exhausted.
10 cover the ground with n firm
thick sod, and fill the soil with a mass
of grass and clover roots is to make
land that will pay fair rent to the
owner. Such sod, summer fallowed,
brings great corn tobacco or cotton.
One must learn how to make fertility
grow on thin land drawing agricul
tural salts from the deep subsoil in
water that rises to enter the longest
roots of clover or COW peas. The water
evaporates from the leaves of the
clover, grass, peas and corn; but the
fertilizing salts do not. These may be
used to feed and fatten hungry soil
Poor land may grow to become fat in
sod and in manure as easily as poor
pig gains in flesh Small seeds, like
those of clover and grass, may do most
of this work. See how easy it is tC
make clover and grass labor for the
thinking husbandman.-IHe Nutiond

A Few Words to the Girls.

a pastor of n church in one of our
large cities said to me not long ago :
4 have officiated at forty weddings
since | came here. and in every case,
save one, | felt that the bride was run
ming an awful risk" Young men OF
la1 habits and fast tendencies never
marry a girl of their own sort, but de-
mand wife above suspicion. So pure,
sweet women, kept from the touch OF
evil through girlhood, give themselves
with all their costly dover of woman
hood, in the keeping of men who, in
base associations, have learned to un-
dcrvalue all that belongs to them, and
then find no repentance in the sad
after years.
There is but one way out of this that
/ can see, and that is for you to re-
quire in associations aud marriag es,
purity for purity, sObriety for sobricty.
and honor for honor.
There Is no reason why the young
men of this Christian land should not
be just as virtuous as its young women.
and if the loss of your society be the
price they pay for vice, they will not
pay it.
This is plain, sensible talk. and Just
such as ought to be needed by all our
boys aud girls, until the much needed
reformation is fully established. Toe
much of the happiness or misery of our
children depends on this for it to pass
without producing deep reflection and
action in the right direction. We
have never made suggestions fraught
with greater Importance.

Wagon Grease.

Much is lost for the want of atten-
ton to wagon axles. They should be
examined at least once a week, if in
constant use, and properly oiled
Lard is not suitable. for it penetrates
through the hub and loosens the
spokes. We know of nothing better
than castor oil, and a rancid article
which can be had at cheap rates, at
the apothecary's, is just as good for
this purpose as the best. A small
quantity applied upon the bearings OF
the axle is just as good as to oil the
whole surface. If the oiling is neg
lected there is much friction, which
has to be overcome by the increased
exertion of the team. The boxes and
axles both wear away ore rapidly
and there is soon need of new vince
and axle. A good wheel-jac will
greatly facilitate the oiling process
With this implement one man can oil
the wheels of a lumber wagon as rap
idly as two without it.

Cuban Sugar and Tobacco CrOp.

The Havana Diario de Ia Marina
under date of January 22d, contains
the subjoined editorial avowed con-
corning the sugar and tobacco crops
for the current year: "A deliberate
perusal and reflection of all the reports
TO hand from the growing districts
through trustworthy sources, leave no
doubt in our mind that, on account of
the protracted drought and other sour
ees of injury. the yield of the present
sugar crop will fall short by two hun
dred thousand tons, or thirty per cent.
from the usual average compared to
that of 1875. With regard to tobacco.
we are constrained to consider the
crop entirely lost from the lack of
timely rains. In view of these unto
ward facts, it behooves us now, more
than ever, to concentrate our energies
and resources, and by unity, economy
and discipline TO enable our govern
ment to surmount the enormous diff
culties it will have to encounter dur
ing the course Of 1876"
