FERrLIZINe VALUE OF CLOVER SCp.--
The great fertilizing value contained in a
good clover sod does not seem to be appre-
ciated or believed by farmers generally.
According to experiments and analysis
made in Germany TO determine the num-
Der of pounds of roots and stubble con
tanned In an acre of clover sod to the depth
Ot ten inches, 1t is shown that there were
1921 pounds, which contained 19l pounds
of nitrogen, beside considerable potash
and phosphoric acid. The l9l pounds OF
nitrogen at 20 cents pound would be
worth $500. Undoubtedly the acre OF
sod which contained roots enough to afford
such large amount of nitrogen was pro-
duced on land in high state OF cultiva-
tion; but suppose that an acre of sod con-
tanned only one-half as much nitrogen, or
50 pounds, worth $l9. How could the
farmer supply an equal amount of fer:Iliz
ers to his soil SO cheaply and so easily ss5y
clover ralslngR The clover root is rich in
nitrogen, q fertilizer which is the most
costly OF any element of plant food offered
in the market 1t is just the fertilizer
needed for the growth OF wheat anG corn.
A crop of wheat yielding twenty-five BUSH
els of grain contains In the stem and
grain about sixty pounds of nitrogen, or
only about one-thlrd the amount found TO
be contained IN an acre of good clover sod
in Germany. Hence it would be inferred
that clover sod would be an excellent
preparation of the land for a wheat crop,
and this has been found in practice to be
the case. In England much dependence
is placed upon the clover sod as prepara-
ton of the soil for the wheat crop. The
clover sod is equally valuable as O pre-
paratlon Of the soil for corn crop.
Glover raising can be made to do great
service In enriching sarms and renovating
worn-out land. More clover should be
grown, and the land seeded with it oftener
DR.. Voelcker, In England, found that the
clover sod was most valuable as fertilizer,
after having been mown two seasons for
hay. The roots then had attained their
full development and We're then richest in
fertiiizing elements. What farmers need
todo, IN order to avail themselves OF the
full advantage of this crop, is TO turn the
sod under when full of roots, raise a crop
of grain or corn, and seed to clover again.
Cut the clover two years for hay, turn
under the sod, SOW to grain or plant corn
and seed TO clover again and so ON, turn
ing under q good clover sod every three or
four years until the land Is renovated.
Whatever barn manure or other fertilizers
can be spared for use on the land Will
hasten the process"

who were seeking Government posi-
tions; "Why do you permit your
selves to be placed in the ignomini-
Gus position Of coming here, Begging

there are thousands ready to crowd
you to the wall and fight you for
every favor that you ask? You all

90 out and learn TO become cooks,
housekeepers, chambermaids, if you
please, and then you will be certain
OF a good home and independence.
People will then be running after
you instead Of you running after
them, and the position of a respecta-
BILE servant in a good family is one
infinitely to be preferred to tha, OF
hanging to some beggarly office, de-
pendent on the within or will of some
bureaucrat." The ladies are said to
have bounced out" when the old
