The city government Of Bangor is a
sort of half and half body, as regards poll
tics, with democratic Mayor at its head.
There has been good deal of difference in
the views of the several members as to how
the affairs of the city should be administer
ed and considerable feeling engendered by
remarks of members at the several meetings.
This has virtually eliminated in dead
lock. The Wing says:
"For the first time IN her history the city
of Bangor stands in the humliating position
Of running with an empty treasury, and with
no present prospect of raising. by taxation.

rent year and the business of the city may
come TO a standstill, as did that Of San
Francisco, recently, under the action of its
democratic city council similar in effect,
though not in kind, to that Of our own city
council"

HI ANA Farm.
Use Of Clover.

Any one who knows the habits Oh
the clover plant, and has ever taken
the pains to examine vigorous old
clover roots, cannot fail to be sur
prised at the quantity Of black vcge-
table mould collected near such roots,
which is in great part decayed haulm'
This is even the case when the crop
of clover is produced for no other
rurpose thaa to be converted into
hay. The roots of clover go long
distance in search Of plant food, and
vegetable growth so promoted always
in,,res to tho benefit Of the surface
soil. I do not believe that | have
ever grown crop Of clover that i'm
royerishcd the soil in the slightest
degree; and always have some hopes
Of field on which can grow GLOVER
There is another direct advantage
to be realized from clover-the amel-
lorating influence exerted by the
roots upon the condition of the soil.
A crop Of clover aly s leaves the SOIL
more loose and porous than any other
crop and more easy to cultivate, and
clover sod is in fact not q sod at all.
If clover is give n its proper place. the
fertility Of the farm will stand re
reatcl attacks from ignorant hus-
tandry. In restoring wasted fertility,
the true value Of clover can be seen
to the best advantage when plowed
under aud allowed to de:ompose
This is Il most superior preparation
for fall wheat.
