they go, few crops pay better than
clover. The second crop of red clover
furnishes excellent pasturage. Sheep
and cattle lay on fat very fast when
allowed the run Of a clover pasture
during the early part of the fall. A
| Wisconsin farmer who was very sue
cessful with sheep declared that two
acres of clover, the first crop being
cured for hay, were as valuable for pro-
| ducing fat as an acre of corn. his
practice was to SOW land-plaster on the
clover as soon as the first crop was cut,
and to turn the sheep on when the
plants had attained a good growth and
were nearly ready to blossom. At first
he allowed them the run of the field II
one hour in the day.
Clover of all kinds Is likely to fail or
to do indiferently we'll on soil deficient
in lime. Quicklimt. lime that has air
or water slaked, pulverized limestone
and land-plaster, which is a sulphate of
lime, are all excellent fertilizers for
clover. Some varieties of clover will
do well on any kind of soil, providing
it contains q sufficient mount Of lime
in some form. The common red clover
is best adapted to soils that are mod
erately high and dry, or somewhat low
grounds that are well drained. The
Alsike, or Swedish clover, does best on
tolerably moist land. 1t makes a SUI
perior hay and the stalks are not as
likely to lodge as are those of red
clover. 1t is a hardy plant and
better adapted to a high latitude. White
clover requires a soil tolerably dry and
well drained. 1t flourishes exceedingly
well on broken ground and on hill
sides. 1t will owe the banks Of RAJ
vines and the sides of road embank-
ments and will preserve them from
washing. Once introduced, it will re-
main in the soil often for a generation.
A few seeds dropped in favorable loca-
tions, or small pieces of turf carefully
transplanted, will be the means of in
PRODUCING white clover with very little
trouble OF expense. A single plant will
spread wei a considerable extent of
ground. Sheep relish white clover bet
ter than almost any forage plant that
grows. 1t affords large amount of
the choicest honey, and is consequently
in high esteem among bee-keepers.
Hogs can be kept cheaper on common
red or mammoth red clover than on any
food the farmer can produce. One acre
in clover will keep five medium-sized
hogs during nearly five months of the
year. A clover pasture that has been
occupied by hogs will rarely fail to pro-
duce a splendid crop of corn. The drop
pings Of the hogs and the clover roots
will furnish all the fertilizers necessary.

Concerning Clover.

Glover of any variety seldom attracts
much attention in a portion Of country
that has recently been settled. 1t is
generally introduced after crops of grain
begin to fail and a need is felt for more
fertilizing material than the manure
heap can supply. Red clover was not
introduced into England till the soil had
lost much of it's fertility by continual
groupings. 1t Immediately produced a
revolution in agriculture. Its first re-
suit was to increase the amount of stock
food. 1t was soon found that it's growth
prepared the soil for q crop of wheat.
1t now forms a part of every system of
rotation practiced in the country. AS a
forage crop it supplies much of the food
eaten by sheep, hogs, and cattle. Its
highest use, however, is as a %renovator
of the soil. Its abundant foliage casts
a dense shade which renders the soil
beneath it permanently moist. Its roots
penetrate the earth to a great distance,
pulvarize the hard soil, and bring near
the surface the mineral salts that lie
beneath the reach of the pillow. Even if
all the stocks and foliage are removed
from the soil the roots afford a large
amount of fertalizing material. Clover
is more difficult to cut and cure for hay
than most kinds of grass are, owing to
its liability to lodge. To obviate this
trouble as far as possible it should be
cut as 500 as it is in full blossom. It
is much easier to cut a field of clover
twice when the stalks stand upright
than once when they are lodged. Lodged
clover is not only difficult to cut and
cure but poor for feeding purposes.
The leaves are likely to fall off and the
blossoms to become blackened OF moldy.
Clover hay to be relished by stock should
be bright and fragrant. For sheep and
young cattle it has no superior.
Clover is an excellent pasture plant,
but care must be taken with its treat
ment. Stock should not be turned into
a clover pasture early in the spring,
while the ground is soft and the plants
small When animals are turned from
dry hay into a pasture of clover that is
immature they are likely to suffer from
the change. If stock is turned into a
clover pasture quite early in the spring
it should be only a few hours at a time.
Discretion should also be observed
about turning animals into a clover
pasture at any season of the year. FIRE.
quent cases OF bloat or hoven occur from
cattle eating too much clover after they
have been in u scant pasture, or been
kept for some time principally on dry
food. Animals are not likely to suffer
from eating too much clover when it is
distributed among timothy and other
grasses. If red clover is cut as soon as
it is in full blossom the second crop is
often as valuable as the first one. If
there is a scarcity of food for winter it
may be cut and cured for hay. It is
generally less difficult to secure the Sec
ond crop than the first, as the weather
is more likely to be favorable. 1t paws
to allow the second crop to ripen, aud

The Tussock Moth.

81 have discovered a new form of at
tack bred by the caterpillars from the
white tussock MOTH" said Prof. j. A.
Lintner, State Entomologist, as he held in
his hand q bunch OF elm twigs with the
leaves curled and dried. '.For two
weeks past people walking through the
streets have noticed the tops of elm trees
fall to the sidewalk in large quantities,
These, upon examination, are found to be.
little twigs from one to two inches, con-
tanning from four to eight leaves, and
constituting the growth of the season.
Close examination revealed the fact that
at the end of the twig the bark had been.
eaten off. These twigs have fallen off in
great abundance from some trees. lat
once referred it to these insects, and went
up or top of q house where Iecould in
spect the workings of whatever was the
cause, and there saw these caterpillars
in active work. The explanation for
this new method of attack, never OBJ
served before, was that the spring was
cold, a fact which delayed early vegeta-
ton. Then by the sudden advent of
warm weather the vegetation burst forth
at once, making livery tender. This in

more suitable to his taste than the leaves,
which he has hitherto mainly fed on.
In some streets-for instance, Lancaster
street-nearly all the new growth has
bean cut off"
Prof. Lintner showed pieces of short
limbs which he had gathered, and which
showed the ravages of the insect. Just
above where the new sprout Joined the
old limb the bark was entirely eaten off.
''The depredations. continued the pro-
fessor, a not confined to the city, but
other sections are suffering equally as
much. l trust the evil will not be seri-
Gus. The bark should soon tougher
enough to resist the insects. It is an
interesting phenomenon as illustrating
the new habits that insects frequently
take upon themselves. 1t is a question
in my mind whether or not the eating
of this young bark will be hereditary"

George Peck, the father of the " bad

past few years Peck has become one of
the most successful of professional hu-
morists. His income is said to he nearly
$4,000 a year. In 1871 he was re.
porter on The New York Herald. "sev.
eral hundred dollars worse off than
when he was dead broke" He left New
York with resolve never to come
back until / had accumulated S13."
Peck originated and grew up in Wis
consin. With Brick" Pomeroy he
went TO New York to start Democratic
paper. He was fortunate, losing but
S2,OOD-all that he had, however. After
reporting on The Herald for q short
time he returned to Wisconsin, and To-
eating ut La Crosse, started Pecks
Sun, which has brought rays of bright
ness to many households on dark and
gloomy days.
Five years ago he removed to Mil

tinuous success. A friend TO him told
me, few days ago, that he owned the
whole town. That's perfectly natural.

wit and humor. Peck does nearly all
the editorial work himself. His ex.
penses are light and his profits large.
