Clover and Its Use.

Allow me to make some suggestions
rs to the uses of clover. l will premise
by saying that clover is nOta hay or for
age plant; that whilst it may be used
for that purpose, its great use, in the
economy of nature, is TO restore the fer.
tility of cultivated lands, and to main
tain that nice adjustment of the atmo-
sphere which adapts it to the wants of
all living things.
In early spring. wheat fields, and all
fields of small grain, should be sown
with clover seed. 1t will grow with
the growing grain, and be a decided adj
vantage TO it, because clover draws its
food from the atmosphere, taking moth
ing from the soil required by the grow
ing grain, but absorbing the noxious
gases and fluids which cause rust, mil
dew and blight. After the grain is har-
vested, the clover will fully occupy the
ground, and ii of strong growth may
be pastured in autumn, but in the fol-
lowing spring should be allowed to
grow undisturbed until in full bloom.
Then the most economical use it can be
put to is to turn it under with the pillow
and plant the ground with corn, which
will produce full crop with but little
labor in cultivation. But when last
cultivated say in the month of July
the ground should be sown with clover
seed. which will grow with advantage
to the corn, will fully occupy the
ground and fert.lize it and take the
place of weeds and wild grass, which
would impoverish the soil.
When the clover is wanted for hay
and seed for, by n wise provision OF
nature clover makes two crops, the first
for hay and the last for seed-in har-
vesting the first crop, care should be
taken to cut and remove from the
ground all grasses and weeds. The
clover will Immediately grow and
ripen its seed before other plants will
fairly begin to grow, hence nothing
but clover seed is harvested. This
seems to be a provision of nature, to
keep clover seed from mixture with
other seeds.
If possible, clover should precede and
follow every crop. Every uncultivated
field and all unoccupied land should
rest in clover; and the wealth of the
country would be improved if the wild
grasses and weeds were forced to give
place to clover, for we know that ncx-
ious gases and vapors are continually
arising from the earth. Some of them
are from decaying vegetable or animal
matter and some of them are miasma.
All are offensive to the smell and iniu-
rious to the health of man Clover, by
means of its chemical powers, not only
absorbs these gases and feeds upon
them, but freely gives out oxygen.
which unites with them, and oxydizes or
destroys them, and in this way cleanses
the tainted air.
Because of this salutary effect of
growing clover upon the air, we say of
people who live in affluence and luxury,
g They lire in clorer. ~ ". McCuL-
Tough, in Western Farm Journal.
