Glover for Fertility.

The ever urgent problem with the
farmer is how best to increase the fer
tility of his land. This is especially
so at present, since prices of farm pro-
duce are so low as to make all but the
largest crops Improbable. If we are
to 90 on competing with the pauper
paid labor of Asia, as well as of Eu-
rope, in food production, it must be
by better systems of farming. We
shall not and ought not to accept the
low remuneration for labor that is
paid in densely-settled countries. Thus
the wages of farm help are kept up.
But owners of land, farmers who till
the land they own, are in direct COM
petition with men who work for eight
and ten cents FER dayin the Old World.
Perhaps there is slight difference in
cost of transporting wheat in favor of
the United States against India, but
for the far-western farmer even this
difference, if it exists, must be very
slight. Our only hope, then, in grow
ing wheat is in getting enough better
crops to make good our inevitable ex-
cess OF expenses per acre.
Glover is without doubt the best
means of making and keeping soil fer
tile. How it can best be used for this
purpose is an importantquestion. Clo-
yer as green manure is necessarily
coupled with exhaustive grain crop
ping, which takes from the soil plant
food nearly or quite as rapidly as it Is
placed in it. Wherever cloveris plow.
ed under the use of the land is lost
for one year. This almost necessitates
growing and selling all the grain pos
sible. If clover can be proftably fed
to stock it will be possible also to feed
much of the coarse grain, and this,
with the working up of straw as bed.
ding, will make large amount of very
rich manure. Farmers must sell
something to defray necessary expen.
ses. If clover cannot be turned int
money. all the more grain must be
sold. and thus much of the benefit
from growing clover will be lost.
Growing clover for feeding, both for
its nutritive and manurial value, is
steadily growing in favor. Glover will
not yield as many tons of forage as
will corn fodder, though on rich soil
and with several cutting large amounts
have been produced. But it makes a.
lone more nearly perfect ration than
corn, and is valuable for supplement.
ing corn, whose excess of starch and
deficiency in albuminoids is one of the
greatest drawbacks to its use. Glover
with corn fodder is great improve
ment for any kind of stock. 1t is this
deficiency in albuminoids in corn that
will cause hogs fed on this grain to eat
greedily of clover grass, or even clover
hay, when the green herbage cannot
be had. But it is in the manure pile
that the advantage from feeding clover
is most apparent. Clover hay makes
much richer manure than corn,
richer by two-thirds than timothy or
other grasses, and richer even than
oats or wheat. By carefully prepared
tables it is shown that ton of clover
hay is worth for manure 1864, of
meadow hay $6.43, corn meal $6.65,
wheat $7.0o and oats $7.7O. Only le-
guminous grains, beans and peas make
richer manure than clover hay, and
they are more expensive to grow for
feeding.

farmers' Column.
The Horse Stable.

None of our domestic animals are
more entitled to the care of the farmer
than the horse, and yet, how frequent
ly it is found to be a fact that the care
zof valuable animals is left almost en-
Stirely to the supervision of the hired
help, who too frequently neglects his
charge when his own convenience is
involved. In allusion to the care OF
the horse while in the stable, Mr.. E.
T. Roberts, in the Maine Farmer, Of
fers some hints that every owner Of a
horse should give heed to at this sea.
son. He says that an opening direct
ly above the horses head into the hay.
loft makes it extremely and incessant-
ly uncomfortable for the horse in win
ter. There is constant current OF
cold air descending through the open
ing provided for supplying the rack
or manger with hay; and every parti-
Gle of air warmed by the breath or by
contact with the horse is forced up
ward or out of the stall in some direc-
tion by the colder heavier air of the
stable. On visiting, last winter, q
horse barn at Madison. Wis, | found
the horses shivering in their stalls,
though we'll blanketed. | examined,
TO learn where the cold air came from.
The walls were excellent, and quite
impenetrable, and the doors were as
well fitted as sliding doors can be.
saw that the stalls were furnished
with iron hay racks placed in the ex-
treme top of the stall, the top of the
rack being on a level with the floor a.
bove. l stepped under the rack, and
found there vas strong current oil
air was passing down the opening, and
it was no wonder the horses were shiv-
ering. The racks were wide at the
top, and sloped to the wall. 1t is i'm
possible for horse to eat from such a
rack without getting dustan seeds in
his foretop. Such an opening makes
good ventilator for summer, but it
is always Objectionable to have the
ventilation through the hay. A sta
bic needs ventilation summer and win
ter, and it can be had in better ways.
The old fashioned open manger is
also Objectionable in more than one re-
spect. The horse stands continually
with his head over the manger, and is
always breathing on the hay whether
eating or not. What hay he does not
eat Immediately is very distasteful,
and he will only eat it under compul-
sion of hunger. 1t is easy to under
stand why the hay is made distasteful.
In human respiration the breath ex-
pired contains 400 parts of carbonic
acid gas in 1000. This is sufficient
to extinguish the light of common
kerosene house lamp, if expired where
the air enters the burner, the entrance
of pure air to the burner being pre-
vented bya cloth on the opposite side.
Even if there be no larger proportion
of carbonic acid gas in brute aspira-
ton, we can easily comprehend why it
is often necessary to throw good hay
out of the manger and replenish with
fresh hay. When fed on the bare
ground out of doors, animals will eat
their fodder up clean, because the ex
pired breath is Immediately carried a
way. This is the reason why sheep
will eat more hay when fed on clean,
affrrslzzsa ground than when fed in racks,
especially If given large quantities at a
time.

FILLING UP THE RIVER.
RsiIrOad and City Officials TO Com
Ger To-Day About The NIaIInr

The grading that is being done by the
Burlington d Northern railroad along the
edge of Dayton's bluff has attracted good
deal of attention, and is bitterly opposed by
a number Of citizens of the Fifth and
Sixth wards. 1t was claimed that
the work was an obstruction of the
rivers channel, and the attention
of Maj. Mackenzie. the government
engineer was directed to the matter.
1t was evident, however, that there was no
obstruction 10 navigation, as where the ill
ing was being put in was inside the bend at
that point of the river and was some dis
lance away from the channel. The rail-
road is filling across this bend, which will
have a tendency TO assist navigation by the
increased depth of water, resulting from
the securing out Of the channel. but are ac-
curing made ground along the river front

property owners have called the attention
Of the city council to the matter. 1t was
referred TO the committee on streets. who
in turn referred it 10 the city engineer, city
attorney and Chairman johnson of the
street committee. What action is proposed
TO be taken cannot be ascertained. A re-
porter of the GLOBE called upon Chief
Engineer Upham of the Burlington IL North
ern railroad yesterday for an expression of
his views. but he said the company had
nothing 10 say on the matter. 1t owned
the land along the river front there. and
was making the necessary road-bed for
their entrance into the city. He under
stood the matter was before the council

could interfere at all. a conference will
be held to-day between the railroad officials

did not see any necessity for park in that
locality. Still. If one was desired, he was
willing to sell his three lots. He considered
them worth about $500. The park mat

FROM THE MERCHANTS.
Gay Masquerade by the Employees
OF the Hotel.

The masquerade bail given by the en-
plOyes Of the Merchants hotel last evening
at Market hall was a grand and complete
success. 1t was the fifth annual affair Of
the kind given by the attaches Of this hotel,
and was attended by fully 800 merry
maskers and fully that many more specta-
tors lined the sides of the large hall and
filled the galleries. The costumes worn
represented almost every conceivable char
acter and inclined largely TO the
groiesque and absurd. In many
instances the characters were well sus-
tanned by the maskers, and the merTiment
reigned hilarious until II o'clock. the hour
for unmasking There were no attempts
made at elaborate or costly costumes and
but few were seen. 4 sample worthy OF
mention was blue sailor costume Of silk.
with white stripes of satin running up and
down the skirt, worn by an attractive young
lady. The music was furnished by the
First Regiment band and the dancing was
continued until the morning hours. The
affair was as enjoyable as any that has
been given under the same auspices. The
hall was under the management Of Mr.
George Allen. who attended faithfully 10
the interests of the hotel employees and
quite a snng sum was Melted as the result
