CLOVER-SkGK LAND.

Sir John Lawes ascribes what is call
ell "clover-sickncss" to the plant moi
having accumulated sufficient store OF
food in its roots during the first year OF
its growth. This, he explains, may
happen from variety of causes-such
as the roots of previous crops taking
some years to decay. and the want OF
sufficient alkaline salts in the subsoil.
He lays particular stress on the fact
that all our agricultural operations tend
to accumulate the food of plants close to
the surface of the soil, while it is only
such soluble salts as chlorides and nit.

in the drainage water. He also points
out the fact that the deep-rooting plant
like clover, feeding on lime, has little
chance against 4 creeping-rooted plant,
like coach-grass, which feeds on silica
far more abundant product in most
soils. 1t is TO be remembered, however
that there are many forms of "clovel
sickness" and probably as many diff
ferent causes. One form of it is due Il
a fungus, and "clover fungus" is more
common than is generally supposed
Some German observers hold tina
clover-sickness is due to parasites in The

evidence of this. As, however, "beet

GOOD FRUIT PAYS,


The value of crop of fruit depends
more upon its quality than its quantity.
No matter how large the general fruit
crop may be. nor how heavily the mar
ket may be "glutted," good fruit will
always sell readily, and at fair prices.
Nor can there be surplus grown. If
not sold Immediately the crops may be
dried, evaporated or canned, for there
will arrive a time when such will be in
demand. Too much fruit has not yet
been produced during any season.
When the blackberry was made a cult
waited crop it was predicted that, as the
fence corners and abandoned locations
had always afforded a supply, the intro
duction of large quantities of the cult
waited kinds would render prices too low
TO realize profits; but as the crops were
increased the berries were improved,
and demand was created that grew
with the supply, the consequence being
that although carloads are shipped to
our large cities during the fruit season,
the prices have been higher than at any
previous time. The same rule applies
to other fruit crops. As the supply in
creases, fruit-growers endeavor to adj
vance prices by improving the size and
quality of the fruit In venturing upon
fruit.growing, the varieties selected
should be those best adapted to the eli
mate in which they are to be grown,
the proligacy. hardness and quality be-
ing the chief consideration. And 1t
must not be overlooked that some varie-
ties require special cultivation, while
the character of the soil is an important
factor also. In marketing fruit some
thing depends upon the mode OF ship
ment, while the manner of harvesting,
ana the proper time for so doing, large
~ affects the keeping qualities. Like
every other pursuit, labor is necessary.

PROFITS OF BEE-KEEpING,


In proportion to the population the
number of persons who keep bees is
very small, yet there is no branch of
farming for it should be connected with
farming) more profitable at certain
seasons than the Keeping of bees. A
good, strong colony, in the midst of the
busy season, will collect and store four
or five pounds of honey daily; but the
amount OF work done by the bees de-
ponds upon the forage and the strength
! of the colony As soon ~ colony be-
comes weak and incapable of defense it
will be attacked by the stronger ones
and robbed. Hence, i'm order to keep
each hive up to its fullest capacity, the
beekeeper must provide plenty of comb
foundation in order to lessen the work
to be performed, and SOW such crops as
will afford honey later i'm the season,
when the flowers have finished blossom
ing.
The swarming process is nothing
more than the departure of the old queen
and her working bees, i'm order to aban-
don the hive to the younger queen and
bees. BY being on the alert and hiving
the swarms as they alight, the number
of colonies may be largely increased,
but the weak colonies seldom swarm.
The moth usually attacks the weak col
onies, and only the stronger ones are
able to pass safely through the winter.
The common bees may be gradually
replaced with the Italian or Cyprian
bees by removing the old queen and
substituting new fertilized queen of
either kind preferred. If she is care
fully guarded in small cage for few
days the bees will soon recognize her,
and in the course of n few months the
old bees will all be dead and the new
ones will be of the desired kind. The
queen is compelled to lay large num-
bers of eggs daily in order to supply the
great loss constantly occurring by the
destruction from birds, storms and other
difficulties. They should be left plenty
OF honey for winter supply, and the
hives should be we'll protected from the
storms.
What the beekeeper should aim to do
is to SOW such crops as will enable the
bees to lay IN large supply of honey,
and he can we'll afford to do so if he has
number of hives. At this season the
bees find plenty to do in working on
the flowers. but later the crop of buck
wheat affords ample forage while it is
in blossom. Enterprising beekeepers
combine beekeeping and poultry rails
ing, finding that small piece of ground
may in that manner return large profit
How to manage cannot well be explain
ed in single article. All who are in
terested should first make themselves
familiar with the details before begin

subject. That Bookkeeping is profit

monstrated satisfactorily to all SO en-

No Rate Cutting in England.


It is stated that there has been no rate cutting
on English roads for thirty years. Forty years
ago. when the principle of competitive railways
was adopted, the new railway and the old some
times had periods of rate cutting. For ex-
ample, in 184S-49 the Great Western and the
Northwestern had contest in the Shropshire
districts. The passenger fares between Well
ington and Shrewsbury were reduced to one
penny there and back again. When the Great
Northern opened from London to York it started
in great competition with the oldestablished
railways. Rates for 300 and 400 miles were re-
duced to shilings. This rate cutting was
ended by two agreements for pooling traffic, one
of which was settled by private arbitration by
Mr. Gladstone For many years peace and
equality of rates were secured by two instru-
ments, one called the Gladstone award the
other "the ten towns" agreement. Later, in
lS57-5S great competition took place between
the Great Northern and the Manchester Shelf
field g. Lincolnshire railway, whose united rail-
ways made the new route between London, Liv-
erpool and Manchester This led to more rate
cutting For some months passengers were
carried between Liverpool and London and back
for 5 shilings. Goods and cattle were carried
for something less than the working expenses
The contest ended in pool which brought the
rates back to nearly the normal amount
