Sow Glover.

Do not forget to SOW few acres
in clover this very spring. The
seed is low. Prepare the field for
the pillow, and SOW the seed as early
as you can. 1t will make good pas
lures, good hay and greatly enrich
the soil. Clover is the salvation Of
farming. It's value cannot be esti-
mated. We must put our farms
into such shape as to make farming
easier and more profitable. We
must put the product of our farm
into fat stock, that can be got to
market at little expense. More pas
ture laRd on our farms is needed.

Good Seed.

1t hardly needs to be said that if
the seed is not good no good crop
can be hoped for. The necessity for
selecting seed with care has been a
maxim of agriculture for thousands
OF years; it is a good plan to SOW
at least a small strip in the field
with the best seed to be procured,
upon ground prepared in the best
way. and cut by itself at harvest
and thresh it at once for seed. But
if this pays. why not grow the whole
crop in the same way? A good
farmer should have no grain that he
cannot use for seed; none that is
peor, light, shrunken. or mixed with
cookie and garlic.

How to Apply Manure to Trees.

This rule should be observed in
planting trees, shrubs and vines:
Place no manure in contact with
the roots. Many persons think they
are doing nice thing for their trees
to sprinkle manure among their roots
in the progress of planting, but in
stead they do harm. If you put the
manure above the roots when the
holes are nearly filled, so that when
the dirt is replaced it will be fairly
covered, good will result from the
application. Cow manure or well
rottened stable manure is used with
succ ess. To prevent injury from
severe frost, and also to benefit the
trees by enriehing the ground
coarse manure. containing consider,
able straw, may be spread over the
ground, rather thick, around the
stems or trunks, as far as the roots
extend. RuraI World.

Here is a way we see suggested to
destroy stumps: Bore hole with
a twe-inch auger to the depth of six
or eight inches into the stump TO be
operated on, and place therein two
ounces OF saltpetre; then Sill the
hole with water and plug it perfect
ly tight. Then after four or five
months take out the plug. pour in
gill Of kerosene oil and set it on fire.
The stump will be entirely consum-
ed. even to the smallest roots, TINS
doing away with the trouble of re-
moving the debris. which would be
scattered about by the other method.

A REMARKABLY CASE.
A Marshall County. Ky, EIope-
ment---A Young Physician
is asked to Give up
His Wife.
From the Paris (Tenn.) Gazette.


MURRAY, KY, March 16, 1878.
At Oak Level, a small village in
the western part of Graves county,
Kentucky, occurred one OF the
strangest cases of abstract love and
its results Of which we ever heard.
The facts as reported to us by a
gentleman who lives in the neigh
borhood, are substantially as fol-
lows:
In this village there lives a DR..
Cornelison who came to this place
some two years ago. with his wife,
most beautiful young woman, about
twenty-one years old, to whom he
was married some four or five years
ago, she being the daughter of Mr..
Peter Riley, now the Sheriff Of one of
the counties of the tar and turpeH-
tine States, and very respectfully
connected in all her family c1nnec-
tions.
The Doctor was commanding a
good practice in his new home, and
all was moving on well, until a few
months ago, when young mau by
the name of Baker, came TO the
Doctors to study medicine, and act
as clerk in a drug store that be-
lOnged to his (Baker's) father.
A fondness sprung up between
Baker and Mrs. Cornelison, which
attracted the attention and caused
some remarks by the neighbors, who
wondered where it would end. The
usual expectations Of family rows,
pistols and bloody heads, was great
Iy disappointed, however, in the
most rare aud remarkable culmina-
ton of the case, which occurred last
Saturday morning, making a nine
days wonder for the villagers, one,
indeed. they will never forget. On
that morning Baker, unable longer
to control the passion which con-
sumed him, addressed a note to DR..
Cornelison and told him all, stating
the case in detail, his undying love
for his wife, and her reciprOcation
of his ardent affection, and asked
him, in as many words, to give up
his wife, threatening to commit sui
eide in the event of a refusal. The
Doctor, though COMPOUNDED, amazed
and erieved, at length granted the
request in case his wife could prefer
another man to him she had vowed
eternal love and duty.
The wife corroborated all Baker had
said, and told the Doctor that she
had once loved him but now she
loved Baker better than any man
before She said that she and the
Doctor had lived peaceably togeth-
err, and now she desired TO go "with
a handsomer man." which he gave
and Baker and Mrs. Cornelison pro-
cured buggy and rode off in the
presence of quits number of spec
tatots.
Before they left, however, they
requested the Doctor to meet Baker
at Benton, the county seat, on Mon'
day, Circuit Court being in SESSION.
to give his consent for divorce,
that Baker might marry Mrs. Cor
nelson, and go to Texas. Accord
ingly on Monday Baker, went to
Benton, and the petition for divorce
was fled; but DR.. Cornelison was
not present, and Baker left without
his divorce. and neither he or the
woman have since been heard of.
The Doctor certainly acted with
more GOODNESS in the matter than
most ef men would have done. He
is very popular among hiG neigh
bOrs who deeply sympathize with
him in his troubles. TRAVELLER.

other States follow with from 700 to

COMMENTS ON RUSsIA'S POLICY
FROM ST. PETERSBURG.

ST. PETERSBURG, January (. A semi-oficial
Russian agency says
The reply to the British inquiry on behalf of
the Porte stated that the decisions and acts of the
imperial policy are still guarded by the paramount
considerations OF putting end to the constantly
recurring disturbances and avoiding complica-
lions by respecting the ntere Is of third parties
Assurances satisfactory to the British govern
ment and people were given concerning English
Interests, Immediately after they were made
known.
These interests are no moGe menaced now than
then, for although Russia then reserved the con-
tingency of being compelled by military necessi-
ties to obtain peace under the walls of Constanti-
nople, it depends upon England to avert this by
diyesting the Porte of any illusion respecting Eng
lsh support.
1t Is evident if the Turkish people have reason
to hope that the entry of the Russians into Con-
stantlnople would cause England to intervene,
they would do everything they could to bring
about that contingency by refusing any conditions
OF peace.
LONDON, January 1. A sem-ohicial despatch
from ST. Petersburg, says Rus,ias policy still is to
avoid complications interference with third par
ty interests. 1t now depends upon England to
undeceve Turkey as regards the latter govern
ment relying upon England Tor assistance, and
not compel Russia to dictate peace at the walls of
Constanunople.
A despatch from Syria saws that Tricanpio, the
creek minister OF foreign affairs, has demanded of
the power. OF the admission of Greece to a Con-
gress, preliminary to the conclusion of peace.
1t Is SAID that Lord Derby has recogn zed as

states are admitted Italy has likewise replied
iavorably.

fairs, has sent note to London protesting against
