Clover and Clover Seed.

For the great majority Of American
farmers the clover plant affords the
cheapest and best means for renovating
exhausted land. II Is not now neccs-
sary to inquire whether clover actually
increases fertility or makes it more ca
silly available for the present crops.
Years hence this will be an interesting
question, but for u long time q come all
that farmers need ask is, how to make
the soil produce maximum crops Of
grain and grass. Whoever does this
need net fear that the grain will not
sell for enough to supply the waste Of
fertility which they When this
time comes, rs il never will, no skill in
farming a make the business profit
able. In other words, the men who
supply the world with bread. will only
partly earn their own, and make up
the deficiency by e~xhausting their capt.
tai. The bare statement Of such u po-
sition carries with II the best refutation
Of fallacy. Looking at The condition Of
farming through n period Of twenty
five years, l lind that whenever good
farming has been practiced, there has
been q decided increase Of fertility, that
larger crops are grown than 10 or ~
years ago, and that good farmers are
yearly becoming less dependent on the
season for profitable results. Most Of
this Improvement is due to the use Of
clover; other influences have helped,
but without clover all the manuring and
undertaking that have been expended
on land would only suffice to maintain
fertility. without perceptible improve

aud that the bodies cannot be neglected
or ~mismanagcd without showing at no

which they have been subjected.
Very little inquiry Is necessary to es-

physical exercises, and the pursuit of
anything like regulated gymnastic work,
In the exception, instead Of being the
rule. in girls schools. Even those
''calisthenic" exercises which with girls
are supposed To tvke the place Of gym

Ut being vigorous, we'll strung, and

The condition Of affairs Is partly the
result Of = fear that girls may grow up
up to be hoydenish, and that they may
lose SONS OF the sweet grace and mod
esty which are so exquisite when they
exist In girlhood. Partly also, the alb
stinence from physical exercise has been
the result Of dislike Of trouble on the
part Of those who have charge Of young
girls. The daily walk In procession BY
two and two Is a performance not Diff
cult to regulate, and external order is
easy To keep.
Again, games would necessitate play
grounds or play rooms, aud schools are
often far too limited in space to allow
Of such luxuries. II Is also a matter by
no means TO DO ignored that the fash
