A Straw Ride Extraordinary.

The boarders of the Averill Park Ho'
tel at Sand Hill were treated to straw
ride Saturday evening. A large wsg-
on. thirty feet long, was arranged, and.
with a load ofhay and straw placed up
on it, it was ready to receive its pre-.
cious load. Will Sitter, family driver
of the tally-ho, with six good horses.
came to the door at 1880 O'Clock. ana
the loading then began. A tackle and
blocks had been arranged. and as each
lady made her appearance she was gent
ly and softly hoisted to the top of the
load of hay. About thirty were thus
raised, and the happy party was driyen
away amid shouting, singing and laugh
ter, going at a good rate through the
several streets, and then on to Glass
Lake, Crooked Lake, stopping to call
on the landlords of the several hotels.

81. A good crop of clover removes
from the soil more potash, phosphoric
acid, lime and other mineral matters,
which enter into the composition Of
the ashes OF our cultivated crops, than
any other crop usually grown in this
country.
SO. There is fully three times as

"3. Clover is an excellent preparato-
ry crop for wheat.
-. During the growth of clover a

"5. Thi, accumulation, which is
greatest in the surface soil, is due to de-
caying leaves, dropped during the
growth of clover, and to an abundance
Of roots, containing, when dry, from
one and half to two per cent. of nj.

&c. The clover roots are stronger

In consequence, more nitrogen is left
after clover-seed than hay.

have been allowed free growth, it Is
