Put Clover On Your Land.

An Ohio paper says that by cloverine
hundreds of farms that were about
worthless have been rescued from di.
lapidation and ruin. It is an accented
truism that as long as "clover will
catch" the farm can soon be restored to
paying fertility, and by good rotation
Is even getting more productive and
profitable for after some years of such
treatment the land will bear harder
'arming-that is, two or three crops
may succeed a good coat of clover be-
fore laying down to clover again. Rough
new land should be subdued by the use
of large clover. Nothing so effectuallv
rots out stumps and kills weeds and
sprouts, and prepares the land for the
plow and good paying crops. Wild,
new lands should always have it sown
on the first grain crop down! It saves
vast amount of labor, for in few
years it so tames the ground and clears
it OF enemies to the plow that it works
like old ground and is good for full
crops. One great error is often fallen
into, and that is following the old ira
dition that a bushel of clover seed win
do for eight acres. That NAV have
been enough to clover land partially
when it was new, but whoever aims at
getting up his land in a speedy and
profitable way. should SOW a bushel on
tour acres, SO that his landmay be thor
oughly sbaJsh.

that the Royal Agricultural Society has
issued an elaborate description of it and
its little ways.

Its ingredients are so skilfully COM

as to be harmless even to children, it is
still so effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which

Certificates attesting it's virtues have

Economics Of Coal Gas.

The electric light cannot thus far be
regarded as success i'll Itself, but by
putting the gas companies on their met
tle-particularly in Europe-it bids fair
to prove the means of developing the
full powers of gas, both as a source Of
illumination and in many other ways
Until quite lately, says Iron, gas has al
ways been consumed in a most unscien-
tific fashion. The excessive pressure,
for example, at which it has been used
not only wasted it, but has needlessly
reduced it's Illuminating power, and the
new burners and methods which COM
petition with electricity has brought out
have not yet got into general use. What
can be done in gas lighting, and eco
nomically, too, when it is burned on
scientific principles, may be learned
from the displays in many of the public
thoroughfares of London, and what has
been effected in the street may be pro.
titably initiated in the dwelling. The

stood to pay the whole cost of produc-
ton of the gas. 1t is evident, then,
that the application of the latter to
heating and cooking purposes, and as a
source of motive power, is only in its
infancy, and probably the profits from
these collateral uses and from the bye
products, would return handsome
dividend to shareholders, even if. as a
source of illumination, gas should ulti.
mately be wholly superseded ny cleo

The works at Cologne Cathedral

needs to be restored. Works of resto-

And thus in wrath our pulses stirred;

Depot and station.

Mr.. Richard Grant White says that
the words railway and railroad are
both used, the former generally
in England, aud the latter in this
country; that railway is certainly
right and railroad measurably wrong.
For way is that which guides or directs
course, or that upon which anything is
moved or carried. A road Is the ground
ridden over" But way is road and
q road is way. And railroad is the
ground ridden over, by means Of rails to
direct the train. .'But," he says, '.the
calling Of way . road is venial Of
Tense compared with that of calling a
railroad station ! depot. A depot is a
place where stores and materials are de-
posted for safe keeping. 4 lonely
shanty, which looks like a lodge outside
of garden Of cucumbers, staging Of a
few planks, on which two or three peo-
pie stand like criminals on o scaffold--to
call such places depots is the hight of
pretentious absurdity. But it is not less
incorrect to give the same name to the
most imposing building which is used
merely . stopping place for trains and
passengers. There is no justification for
calling such q place depot" Now o
depot is q place Of deposit, aud passen-
gers aud freight are deposited ut depot.
II it is ON objection to call its .'depot"
because . depot is place where stores
and materials are deposited. the same
objection applies to ''station," because a
station means place where materials
are stored. AS matter Of fact, how
ever, ''station" is growing more M more
into use.
