EvThe Rural New Yorker says that
ten acres of good clover are worth more
than so much wheat, if the value of what
is left in the groun by the clover is ta-
ken into account. When crop Of wheat
is taken, the ground is exhausted of 80
much of its fertility and is carried off 10

taken, the soil is actually in better con.
dition than before, anG is good enough

EF Fresh manure produces but little
effect when applied to crops, but when
it is we'll rotted it then contains much
valuable soluble matter, absor5able by
plants. In fresh manure the most i'm
portant constituent of its soluble pol-
ton is potash, and it contains but small
proportions of ammonia and phosphoric
acid. Rotten manure, on the contrary,
yields to the solvent action of water
large amounts of nitrogen and phospho-
ric acid.

Day before yesterday the little infant
son Of Adam Gillespie. Of this town, was
accidentally scalded in such . nan.
nsr that he lived but a few
hours. It happened about ten
o'clock In the forenoon. The mother
was preparing to wash the kitchen floor.
and had set q large pan with hot water
In IL upon the foor and stepped out for
. moment for q pail OF cold water
TO temper II With, when the screams
Of the little fellow brought her back
In . hurry. He was not quite two
years old. and was toddling along
backward. dragging a little cart when he
tripped against the side OF the pan, sit.
ting directly into II. When the mother
came TO the rescue, he had got out OF
the pan. and she stripped of his cloth
ing Immediately, but the skin
pesling of, showed that the poor
little fellow was very badly scalded.
Everything that medical skill could do
or the closest attention and nursing OF
the grisf.stricksn parents could accom-.
plish or suggest was done, but the in
jury. a. well as the shock to the delicate
nervous system was too much, and at 2
o'clock next morning the little one quietly
6rsathed his last. The funeral took
place this afternoon, and was we'll at.
tended by numerous sympathizins
friends. This IL the saddest accident
which has happened in Gold Hill for
many o day.
