SOWING CLOVER.

The Advantage of Growing This Plant on
Farms Devoted to the Cultivation OF
Cereals.
Experience and science are agreed in
regard to the advantages of growing as
much clover as possible on all farms
where wheat, barley, oats and other
cereals are the main object of the agri-
culturist. AS long as land will grow
good crops of clover. we need not fear
exhaustion of the soil. But clover Oft
en- fails, and the evil is increasing. In
many cases this is due to the difficulty
of getting 'good catch" The seed
fails to germinate. Occasionally this is
attributable to poor seed. 1t is much
more likely, however, that the trouble
Is in the soil. The longer our soils are
cultivated, and especially when little
manure is used, or green crops plowed
under, the poorer the soil becomes in
organic matter We see no special
diminution in the yield of grain crops.
This is because we cultivate better-but
at the same time there can be no doubt
that the mechanical condition of the
soil is less favorable for the termination
of small seed, like clover. The soil is
hard and the surface less mellow and
loose than when it was full of decaying
leaves and other organic matter.
When we SOW clover and grass seed
on spring crops where theland has been
recently plowed or cultivated and har-
rowed, the soil is, or may be, sufficient

termination of the seed. But when the
seed is sown in the spring, on winter
wheat or winter rye, the soil is often as
hard and dry on the surface as barn
floor. In such a case narrowing before
or after sowing the seed is decidedly
advantageous. We might harrow be-
fore sowing the seed and roll after
wards.
Many of our farmers sow timothy
grass seed with the wheat in the au-
tumn. and the clover in the spring. In
such case narrowing is apt to pull up
or smother some of the young grass
plants, and the only means likely to in
sure a good catch of clover is early SOW
ing. In such case, the old practice
of sowing in the spring, when there is
a light covering OF snow on the ground
or when the soil is frozen hard enough
to allow the sower to walk comfortably
over it, is a good one. When the frost
is out of the ground or the snow dis
appears, the clover seed will sink into
the soft soil and germinate. Our own
practice is to sow about six quarts of
clover seed and four quarts of timothy
seed per acre. Many sow less clover
seed and more timothy seed. Much de-
pends on the condition of the land

The Washington Monument.

The critics are making fun of the
Washington monument. OF course be-
cause it is plain. Oscar Wilde made
fun of certain tower because ii was
not plain, The Pyramids are plain.
ANY ornament on them or on the WASH
ington monument would have been a
mark for time to work at with storm
and frost. The monument sought to
express three ideas: strength, visibility
and power to endure. 1t secures these.
Decorations would have been triiing,
and in perishing would have ruined the
entire surface. Much of European ar
chitecture is ruined or injured by the
old zeal for ornamentation on exposed
surfaces. Current

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

Wire covered with good paint has
been found to be much more lasting
than galvanized wire, although farmers
ordinarily pay cent per pound more
for this latter. The zinc coating on the
galvanized wire becomes removed from
places when the iron rusts very quickly
in consequence of the electric currents
that are developed by the two metals.

The only safe way when weed
seeds abound in manure, says The An9-
eyi:ona C1ztivator, is thoroughly to COM
post it until their vitality is destroyed.
Turning the heap over at least once,
to get the outer edges of the first heap
in the middle, is necessary. in order
that all the seeds may be exposed to the
heat. If we'll done, so as not to burn
the center, the manure will be all the
better for the operation, as the plant
food will be more soluble.
Orange Cake: Six eggs (reserve
two whites for the icing), two teacups
of sugar, three teacups OF flour, one
teacup of cream, two teaspoons OF bread

one heaping one of cream of tartar).
Season with little of the orange juice
and bake in ielly-cake pans. Filling
To two unbeaten whites add the juice
of one good-siZed orange, beat for few

Orchard grass is robust grower
and very tenacious of life. 1t masses
its roots so as to resist the encroach-
ment of other grasses, covering much
OF the ground with its large pendant
leaves that spring out near the base of
the plant, to shade, nourish and enrich
the Soil not occupied by the plant itself.
This, perhaps, accounts largely for its
ability to endure excessive drought. 1t
will produce two large crops of good
hay on rich ssoil, and submit to more
abuse than any other forage plant,
except blue grass, which is of little
value in a very dry season. Prairie

1t is matter of economy as well
as mercy to properly mate horses that
have to work side by side through the
siege of hard work during the spring.
While two horses may be about the
same size and appearance in their gen.
eral makeup, one may not be able to do
near the amount of work without in
Jury than the other can do with ease.
Every farmer should know enough
about his horses to know how to avoid
this trouble, if possible, by placing
horses of equal endurance in the same
team, or by equalizing their labor in
some way in which they are attached to
the burden which they are to draw

The cANkER WORM.
Some of the Creatures Habits and How
Its Work Can Be Prevented.

Some of the Creatures Habits and How
Its Work Can Be Prevented.
The first warm, pleasant day. after
the frost is out of the surface of the
ground the grub of the pest of the ap-
pie orchard will appear on the trunk of
the trees. 1t the trees have been sup
piled with patent protectors it is i'm
portant that they should be carefully
examined to see that the troughs are
tight, and that there are no open spaces
between the protectors and the trunks
of the trees large enough for the grubs
to pass through. The troughs should
be well cleaned out and filed with oil;
if this work be properly done at the
right season there will be but little
danger of the trees being injured by the
canker worms, providing the protectors
are occasionally examined to see that
the oil has not leaked out or been
bridged over by the dead bodies of the
dead grubs.
Trees that have not been provided
with protectors should be at once pro-
vided with strips of tarred paper, at
least one foot wide, around each trunk;
this should be covered with some sticky
substance. Tree ink is usually used,
but sticky substance may be made of
linseed oil and resin that will last
longer than tree ink. Whatever sub
stance is used should be applied as
often as it becomes hard enough for the
grubs to pass over.
If there could be united action among
the people, the canker worm could be
killed out in a few years, but so long as
a few will allow their trees to become
covered with worms, so long will the
more careful have every year to fight
the enemy. Until within few years
it has been supposed that the only rem
edy was to prevent the grub from as
cending the tree to lay her. eggs, but
recent experiments prove that, even
after the worms are hatched, they can
easily be destroyed by Swinging the
trees with water that has Paris green
mixed with it, at the rate of one tea
spoonful to each two gallons; the water
is sprinkled on with small garden
syringe; the work can be done very
rapidly. The only objection to this
is the danger of such free use of dead
" poison; it should never be used when
there is any possibility of its falling on
growing lettuce, dandelion or any plant
the leaves of which are to be eaten. 1t
is very easy for very serious conse-
quences to occur, by very little care
lessness in the use of a poison of so
deadly nature as Paris green. When
one first begins to use very dangerous
article, there is usually caution enough
used to prevent injury, but after one
becomes perfectly familiar with the use
of a dangerous poison, or explosive
compound, caution is in measure for
gotten, and carelessness takes its place,
which is too often followed by fatal con-
sequences.
We feel it to be our duty to frequent
y caution farmers not to become so
familiar with the use of Paris green as
to forget caution, in fact, to use it only
when itseems to be absolutely necessary.

The dairyman who sells his calves
early may imagine that he effects a
saving from the sale of the milk which
would otherwise be required to nourish
the calf. But it is well established
fact that the Srowth of a calf is very
rapid as compared with more advanced
stock, therefore, it is not always the
most economical method to dispose OF
the calves at too early an age. Every
pound of milk applied to a growing
calf can be sold at profit in the shape
of veal, and the cost of the veal may be
further Iessened by feeding in connec-
ton with the milk other suitable food
which may not be SO expensive. -Bos-

A Plea Addressed to Those Who Indulge
in the Use of Tobacco.

A Plea Addressed TO IhOse VINO 1nuulSS
in the Use of Tobacco.
Probably, even to the most inVeterate
smokers of tobacco, the recollection of
their initiation is among most disagree
able memories. The distressing nausea
in most cases would be sufficient to
warn the sufferer from the things which
produced it. And the warning would
be needed if it came from anything else
than from tobacco. But the neophyte
sees other men who have overcome the
first horrors of the weed enjoying its
after use, as if the burning of tobacco
under the nose were one of the prime
luxuries of life. And to very many
persons, no doubt, it is such luxury.
From luxury it may become at last q
necessity, or is so deemed by the serv-
ant of habit. He has SO surrendered
himself to the use of the weed that he
can not command his thoughts or cen
tralize his energies till he has breathed
the fragrant incense.
1t is not to the purpose of these re-
marks to enter into the merits and de-
merits of tobacco, its good or its evil eff
fects upon the person who uses it. Of
its excessive use no one disputes the
harm, and even the danger. Experience
and fashion are having their influence,
and, perhaps, abating the evil. Once
almost every man had his snutf-box in
his pocket. Ladies, even, and espe-
cially the elder ones, had their boxes
by them as they sat at their needle
work In those days the following
quaint lines were published, and could
be appreciated:
Knows he who never took ~inch-
Knows he the pleasure thence that fows2
Knows he the tittilating JOY
Which my nose knows?
The snutfers have retired. The chew.
ers are following. The smokers have
the field, and the point of this plea is
addressed to them. Remember what it
cost you to learn to smoke, and remenl-
ber that non-smokers. especially women,
suffer more or less from your cigar or
pipe the same nauseating sensations
which you once went through Though
you do not spare yourself. spare them;
and never let your present pleasure mar
the comfort of others. Philadelphia
