THE Country Gentleman advises
thorough pulverization and inter
mixture of manure with the top soil
before plowing under, and recon-
mends repeated harrowings with the
harrow as a good way.to accomplish
the object. 1t claims that experience
justifies it in saying that this will
double the value of the manure. In
support of this position we remember
that one of the very best and most
successful farmers We ever saw al
ways insisted that his manure should
be spread with great care, and was
never satisfied unless it was made
"fine and even"

Many farmers have an idea that
clover should be sown only upon fall
sown wheat or rye. | have seen
equally good catches when sown with
oats, spring wheat or barley. When
intending TO seed with spring grain q

sown, and If the ground is mellow

Clover--Its Value, and the Way to Secure
q Catch.

BY clovering land hundreds of
worn-out farms have been rescued
from dilapidation and ruin.
Many farmers SOW in wheat so
early in the spring that when the
seed does start it is killed by the
frosts.
The decaying leaves dropped from
the growth of clover, and the abund-
ant roots, contain, when dry, large
pen cent. of nitrogen.
To make the best use of clover as
manure it must be plowed under to
ferment and stimulate the soil and
furnish nourishment for the coming
grain crop.
After the soil has been cultivated
long enough to become worn, good
good farming can not be had without
clover. 1t is renovating crop, and
is a necessity.
Let our farmers save all the clover
seed they can, and thus help to make
thousands of dollars for the State,
now sent out each year for clover
seed TO SOW.
A good clover sod will furnish
enough plant-food for two crops of
wheat in succession in most soils. |
keep my land in good condition
with clover alone.
The large amount of nitrogen ac-
cnmulated in the soil by red clover
makes it especially q necessity in
preparing for the wheat crop, on long
cultivated and worn soils.
The interest of the farmer is GEN.
tered in fertilizers, without which he
could not keep up the productiveness
of the soil. One of these is clover,
and no other is so cheap.
Without clover, the farmer would
be without one of the most valuable
adjuncts absolutely necessary to sue
cessful farming, for there is nothing
which can fully supply its place.
When clover is fed off green, the
roots do not develop to the extent
that they do when grown for hay and
seed, and consequently do not accum-
ulate Of themselves SO much of nitro
genous matter.
Glover cleans the land by choking
down the weeds and nourishes it by
the rotting of great masses of roots.
This is as good as manure. The fer
tilizing principles are drawn princis
pally from the atmosphere.
Sow the seed, and let it grow, and
that is the end of it. If it is possible
to keep stock off of it for year, till
it gets well established, 1t is better.
Sow all the clover seed you can this
spring. You will never regret It.
In sowing clover, sufficient seed
must be used to fully provide a crop
that will be enabled to get the start
of weeds and keep them down and
destroy them. Thin seedlings do not
have the advantage OF accomplishing
this.
The farmer who does not supply to
his land the matter taken off In his
wheat, corn, oats, ETC., will find his
soil growing more and more infertile.
Glover will supply the most Of this
matter and win increase the fertility
of the land.
The seed needs TO be sown with O
grain crop, of which rye is the best

Catalogues, Reports, Co., Received.

We are indebted TO Secretary T. J. Edge
for a copy of the Third Annual Report of
the Pennsylvania Board of Agriculture.
The report is long, covering nearly two
hundred and seventy-Hve pages, and ex-
ceedingly interesting. 1t not only gives
the formal reports of all meetings held. by
the Board, but embraces large number
of papers prepared for and read before the
Board by its members and by others from
different parts of the country who are emf
nent as specialists in the matters of which
they treat At the close of his formal
report Mr.. Edge says:
In concluding this report we make use
of the opportunity TO call your attention
10 few of the proofs of the increased
value of our work Us shown by changes
since our first meeting, held February !,
1877.
Then but fourteen county societies were
represented in our Board now thirty-two
are represented by members who have at
heart the interest which thcy represent.
Then programme for future action was
prepared, but much was left for the devel-
opment of the future. Now we have its
development and vista of new work open
ed which seems linlitless. Then none were
present but members elect; now our local
and district meetings are attended by hun
dreds. Then there was no central Office To
which our farmers could address letters of
inquiryS now these letters come from
every county in the Commonwealth, num-
bering hundreds monthly, and occupy no
small part of the time of the Secretary in
their answer and though seemingly in
significant when considered as integers,
yet when taken as a whole form very
important part of the work of the Board.
Then the live stock of the State was at the
mercy Of an epidemic or endemic disease
which might break out among them now
any such outbreak is at once reported by
some of the three hundred and fifty official
reporters named by your members, and r
competent veterinary surgeon is at once
sent to the locality, and by this action
alone thousands of dollars worth of live
stock have been saved. Then no systemat-
ic means was afforded for the analysis of
the fertilizers in use among our farmers /;
now without any expense 10 the State a
legal enactment makes a regular series of
analysis possible and efficient; and by
raising the average standard Of this class
of goods, and keeping fraudulent hands
out of the market, will save to our farmers
many times tho cost of the Board each
year.

Comparative Vnluc Of Woods.

1t is a great convenience to know the
comparative value OF different kinds of
woods for fuel. Shcllbark hickory is re-
gardcd as the highest standard of our fores!
trees; and calling that 100, other tr. .es will
compare with it for use rs fuel for house
purposes as follows: Shcllbark hickory,
100; pignut hickory, %; white oak, 81;
white ash, n; dogwood, rs; scrub oak, rs;
white hazel, 70; apple tree 70; red oak, e.;
white beach, SO; black birch, 50; yellow
oak, GO; hard maple, 60; wild cherry, So:
yellow pine, 81; chestnut, 50; yellow pop
lar, 81: butternut and white birch, 49,;
white pine, DO. 1t is worth bearing in
mind that in woods of the same species
there is great difference according to the
soil on which they grow. A tree thu.
grows on wet, low, rich ground will bc
less solid and less durable for fuel and
therefore OF less value than tree of the
same kind that grows on dry and poor soil.
10 the ordinary purchaser, oak is oak, and
pine is pine, but for house use the tree
grown on dry upland, a d standing apart
from all others, is worth great deal more
