! An Illinois farmer began business
in 1861 CT land from which he could get
only twenty-five to thirty bushels of corn
per acre and other crops equally poor.
The same soil during the past five or six
years has yielded from fifty to eighty
five bushels of corn. and yet he has
bought no commercial fertilizer, and his
supply of stable manuse has from the
first only sufficed for the garden and po-
tato patch. His mainstay has been
clover. and by its use the land lhas been
growing better instead of worse.
