The Value OF Clover.

The value of we'll preserved, clover as
food Tor cattle, is quite well indicate ed
by its value to growing aud fatten NO
stock when consumed in its, green and
growing state. IWhenJit is borne in
mind that in the curing process hay
gives off nothing but water, this water
being shown by careful analysis to con-
tain none of the Clements of nutrition
inherent in the plant from which it was
evaporated; it will readily be seen that
clover dried without damage must nee
essarily contain all the virtues of the
crop when eaten in the green and grow
ing state. -
4 One of the best methods for getting
profitable returns from clover, is to SOW
in connection with other grasses; for
instance, red top or herds grass. In
this way, two crops of clover are secured,
the second one heavy crop, provided
the conditions are made favorable. Aft
err that the other grasses obtain the as
tendency, the clover gradually disap-
pearing, leaving large amount of dead
roots, which have penetrated the ground
extensively to a good depth. not only
enriching the ground, but opening up
numerous avenues through which water
and air can enter. All the advantages
obtainable from clover are not secured
when the crop is pastured. When grown
for a full crop, to be cut for curing, the
roots multiply and extend deep down,
the growth of these keeping pace with
the development of the plant above
ground. Therefore. to secure the great
est advantages to the soil in the way of
enrichment, and through the disintegra-
ton OF its closely adherent particles, the
roots should be induced to go deep and
spread wide, by growing full crops for
the purpose Of curing
Experiments made in Germany have
shown that the roots and stubble OBJ
tanned from an acre of clover sod in a
depth of ten inches, had a weight of
nearly 5000 lbs. There is no other crop
that compares with it in this regard;
hence, when its great value as food for
cattle and sheep, for turning under in
the green state, is considered, and add
to these its wealth of roots left to decay
beneath the surface, putting compact
clays in the best possible condition for
crumbling to pieces when turned over
by the pillow, it is very evident that nins
farmers out of ten have not half enough
clover on their farms. If, in feeding it
out in winter, it be found that its rather
rank growth has rendered it so coarse
that stock show disposition TO select
the leaves and more delicate stems, the
whole may be cut, mixed with ground
feed, and moistened. So prepared il
will be found to be highly relished, and
will give good returns in growth and
flesh. -Ndti01laL Lice Stock Journal.

THE earliest honey of the season IN

The Importance of compacting or

newlY1set plants or over seeds cannot
be too strongly insisted upon. When
seeds are sown, the SOL should be well
patted down with Il spade or rolled, so
that the earth will come into close CON

etc, the soil should be pressed firmly

The St. Louis Republican says that
the wheat crop of Missouri this year
will be about 10000, 600 bushels, raised
on 100000 acres of land. In the best
counties farms are held at from S25 to
S35 per acre, but in others from S12 to
SIS per acre. BY this it will be seen
that the wheat crop of the State is
worth as much as the land it is grown
on.

GRAIN AND FREIGHT.

The great monopoly OF grain that is Sc
seriously interfering with steady trade is
bringing about a very peculiar state OF
things. The holding of wheat at Chicago
prevents the shipping in the Eastern ports
from getting cargoes. In consequence OF
this they desire to return TO their own ports,
but having no loads find it necessary to
procure ballast, as there must be some load
in ship to make it steer and run we'll.
Chicago kilograms contain the strange an
nouncement that these ships have applied
there for grain as ballast, offering to charge
nothing for it as freight to Liverpool. The
application not proving successful, offers
we're made to pay several cents a hundred
for it as premium for its use as ballast by
the four lines running between Boston ard
Liverpool. This would be fine chance for
exporters, of course, but the specuIating mo-
uopolists hold their wheat at 90 high a
figure that even such an unusual opportunity
cannot be made available. The New York
Bulletin, however, says that although offers
have been made to take freight for Liver
pool at very low rates, the ships had not
quite come down to rolhing. II is asserted
also that the railroads are DESTROYS OF seeing
a start in grain, and that some of them, spite
of the late solemn agreement and the forfeit
incurred, have offered "cut" rates. If 50, an
other railway war" may break out, which
would benefit nobody. The monopoly that
makes bread dear to the poor is disgraceful in
itself, it is causing much annoy ance, and is
a disturbing element in the commerce of the
county. Can no law be devised to clip the
wing Of such specializing cormorants

effectual purgatiye Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-coated. they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, will

keep the system in perfect order, and
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and
eficctual, they are especially adapted
to the needs of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements of which they prevent

the best and safest physic to employ
for children and weakened constitu-
tions, where a mild but eifectual
cathartic is required.
