Clover in the Western States is
coming into almost universal use, and
is now considered as an indispensable
adjunct of good farming. One great
reason why this product has been so
slow in taking the first rank in pas
ture and meadow as forage crop has
been, the high price at which the seed
was held and the consequent difficulty
in obtaining it in sufficient quantities
to stock The farm, The seed is SO easy
to raise that the farmer should be no
longer dependent on four or five East
ern States for his supply. He cannot
afford to send abroad for it and pay
tho enormous prices at which it has
been held. lie must raise his own seed.
This he can do cheaper than he can
buy it, even if he had to resort to the
hand scythc and the old fashioned fail
to procure it. We hope our farmers
will look 10 this matter of saving seed
this current season. 1t is poor policy
to send out Of the State thousands of
dollars for an article of seed which
our broad, fertile acres can produce at
much less cost.-kdnsds Spirit.

If Won are lean. cold restless and nsr.

If you are lean, cold restless and ner-
vous, the body needs carbon for the
lungs, heat for the system and fat for
the fiesh-only, however, in such guam
tity as will be thoroughly digestible,
or, in other words, only SO much as is
easily and fully adapted to it, and de-
signed for its use through the blood,
bone aud muscle. These carbon.mak-
ing foods are fat meats, good butter,
sugar, molasses, corn diet, rice and
potatoes.
If, on the contrary, you are becom-
ing, heshy, listless, deficient in mental
power aud desirable energy, then less
carboniferous and more heterogeneous
food is called for; such as lean beef,
southern corn, beans, peas, oatmeal,
pearl barley, fish, cheese and milk.
When the system is overcharged with
alkaline impurities, it calls for acids,
which are useful in eliminating the
useless and therefore harmful Gle.
ments. They are to be found in the
juices of all the fruits and some vege.
tables. Oxalic acid is obtainable from
garden rEubarb, citron, shaddock, and
in connection with malic acid, in the
currant, strawberry, cranberry, rasp'
berry, cherry, bilberry and tamarind

The farmcrs of Kansas have comcnc.

The farmers of Kansas have comenc-

houseplant my experience is limited
to one vine. which have growing in

flourish. Naturally they grow on
marshy soil, and holding considerable
moisture aud l would therefore sug-
gest to those wishing to cultivate the
vine for q honseplaut that they procure
soil of the character mentioned, and
keep it moist. The vines will take
root and grow if only stuck in the

The proper time for budding ex-
tends from the middle Of July until
the first of September. Whenever the
bark separates easily from the wood,
the buds may be set with fair chance
of success. The outfit for budding
consists of narrow strips of bass mat
ting, such as comes on the inside of
coffee bags, and a pocket knife with a
single blade, and a small piece of ivory
is used to raise tho bark up Oh either
side, so the bud may be pressed into
place. The buds to be inserted should
be cut from young, healthy trees, and
always of the present years growth,
those that org most natural being Sc
lectcd. The leaves may then be clip
ped off the branch of buds, leaving,
say half an inch of the leaf stalk at
tached to the bud. Then with II keen
edged knife cut off each bud separately
from half to thrce-quarters Of an
inch In length, leaving thin slice of
wood back Of the eye or bud. These
should be moist and protected from
sun or air until set; exposure, even
for short time, may prove fatal.
When the whole top or any part of
it is to be budded over, select the spot
for each bud in smooth part of the
limb, not too large, say from one to
two inches in diameter. On this part
make an incision through the bark in
the form of the capital letter i, and
raise or separate the bark from the
wood with the ivory on the handle OF
the knife. The bud may then be
pressed into place. Cut off square the
portion that goes above the cross in
cision. Then with strip of the bass
mating, wrap firmly around the
bran Oh, above and below the eye, fas-
tening the end of the strip by a slip
knot.-Scribner.

The prudent farmer will not permit
the manure that is made through the
winter season to go to waste and II
he 10 very wise, he will not be content
with simply hauling out half dozen
loads, when, II it is carefully saved,
he might have twenty loads or more
to put on his land.
Simple as the above may seem, it
contains enough to make poor man
rich. Manure is what every farmer
wants to make his land produce; with
out it, in como form, he may labor in
vain to get ahead; with it, he can build
fine houses and barns, keep his fences
in good repair, his land in the best
cultivation, every acre producing to
its utmost capacity, yielding q profit
that enables the owner to enjoy the
comforts aud Injuries so necessary to
ones highest enjoyment and great
good.-Rural World.

To destroy bugs on squash or Gu
cumber vines, dissolve a tablespoon
full of saltpetre in pailful of water !;
put one pint of this around each hill,
shaping the earth so that it will not
spread much, and the thing is done.
Use more saltpetre if you can afford
it; it is good for vegetables but death
to animal life. The bugs .burrow in
the earth at night and fail to rise in
the morning. II is also good to kill
the grubs in peach trees-only use
twice as much, say quart, to each
tree. There was not yellow or bis
tered leaf on twelve or fifteen trees to
which it was applied last season. No
danger of killing any vegetables; q
concentrated solution applied to beans
makes them grow wonderfully.-Os-
