tho business Of the concern shows gratifying
and legitimate growth in all departments. We
say this much Of the past. that our friends may
know how pucrilc has been the opposition Of

White Clovor.-An exchange says "thcrc IL
a wonderful conversation Of ways and means in
nature. II has been several years since there
was n much white clover TO DO seen there is
this season. For the past three or four years
there has been but very little Of H. In fact IL has
scarcely been noticeable for some seasons back.
This year there l. a large amount oft. Thcquery
Il. where did IL come FROM or rather where did
the seed come from In many fields and gardens
that have been regularly cultivated for long
time and where no white clover was seen, recently,
the ground Is well Sc, with the plant. Do the
seeds remain in the ground uninjured and ready
20 grow under favorable circumstances NIL this
time II would appear 50 thus showing the con-
scrva,ive powers Of nature in preserving such
small seeds. The seeds Of white clover are not
much larger than grains Of gun powder. and II !.
n marvel how they are preserved and held in
readiness TO sprout and grow where the proper
conditions are supplied. There Is no other way
to account for the appearance ut irregular inter
walls Of an abundant growth Of the plant. No
care Is taken TO preserve or propagate the white
clover and yet IL comes 10 the front whenever the
season suits II. This fact ought TO give come
idea Of the necessity Of destroying the seeds Of
foul weeds. as rag weed. ox-eye daisy, moth null
len and others. II tho farmer does not see to de-
stroying them nature will sec TO their prescrva.
ton, and will send them out 10 plague the care
