How TO SAVE COVER SEED.-One of
our best clover seed savers is Just at our
/ elbow, and he says "Tell them the
second crop is for the seed, and is really
fit for no other purpose, rs it salivates
/ the stock fed ola it that the best time
to eat for seed is very nice point to
determine. 1t should be cut when IA
majority Of the beads turn brown and
before any begin to shed off the little
seed pods, each Of which contains a
seed. Cut the second crop of clover
just as though it were for hay, rake it
into windows and let it lie and take
one or two showers then put it into
very small cocks while damp. about
one good pitchfork full in place, and
/ when 1t Is dry put into stacks and cap
with something that will turn water
or what is still better, if YOU have a
shed or barn, put it there and let it re-
mann uutii you can get Il huller to take
! 1t out for you. There are hullers
enough now in the State to hull all the
seed needed for home use, and the
owners of the hullers are willing and
anxious to 90 to any section where
work can be had. Let our farmers
save all the clover seed they can, and
thus help to make thousands of dollars
! for the State, now sent ont each year for
clover seed to sow.-R,Uai Sun.
POTASH FOR VINES. The necessity of
potash for vines has been demonstrated
III France by an elaborate series of ex-
periments extending from 1870 to 1873.
\ hundred plots, each about y feet
spare, with Il single variety of vine
apiece. Every year all were treated
alike except as regards manure. One
plot was constantly enriched with Il
complete manure made up of several
ingredients; while from each of the
others was successfully eliminated one
of the constituent elements of the man
ure in question. Thus, while one plot
received the complete manure, nitrogen
was taken from that applied to the sec
Ond, phosphate from the potash from
the fourth, lime from the fifth, and so
on, while one plot was left altogether
mmanured The result showed that
where potash was applied and the other
4 elements successfully eliminated, the
growth of the vine and the yield of the
crop presented no sensible difference,
proving conclusively that potash is in
/ dispcnsble to the vine. Despite the alb
sence of other substance the vine will
/ flourish, but if the potash be omitted and
other fertilizers abundantly supplied,
not only will the vine fail to produce Il
/ crop, but in course of time the leaves
/ will become few and so weak as not to
/ be able to resist the action of the wind
or exposure to the sun, and consequent
/ ~ fall prey to mildew Similar ex-
/ periments were made with reference to
potatoes, with like results. The use of
wood ashes which contain Il great deal
of potash is, therefore, excellent both
for vines .and potatoes. Rmal Ne,p

makers differ widely in their views of
methods and appliances i'll the matter

can settle these differences in the minds
of all, nor can all be expected to adopt
