there was an increased inquiry for empty cars.

About Glover.

Correspondence Country Gentleman.
A retired farmer living in our town. who has
made small fortune in dairy farming, says
that he credits the clover plant with 5000 of
his accum ulations. His rule for seeding during
many Years was fourteen pounds of clover and
fourteen pounds of timothy to the acre. The
growing clover was plastered at the rate OF two
bushels TO the acre. He used to the amount OF
ten tons of plaster in year. No wonder that
he was successful Another wealthy farmer, an
excellent manager of great experience, said to
me that whatever success he had attained Ia
farming to be attributed directly TO clover.
1t 10 singular fact that iuathe Immediate neigh
borhood of such intelligent, successful farmers
may be found those in great numbers who never
use more than two or three pounds or clover
seed to the acre. and who do not to this day
succeed in curing clover hay SO that their cows
will eat 10 with relish.
A peck of clover and peck of timothy sown
to the acre will secure good stand on land in
fair condition. Or course much less quantity
would do if it all grew. but with thin seeding
weeds of various kinds will fill the vacant space,
and iuflct positive damage by their worthless
growth. If the large clover is sown it will not
lose in value by over ripeness as readily as the
medium, but IL is good practice to sow one
quart OF the small kind TO Two of the large as
this will secure a quick start of aftergrowth for
pasture, and will also keep the ground fully oc-
cuped by useful plants. An acre can be heavily
seeded at EXPENSE of So. and he who tries to
save oney by scrimping in clover and timothy
seed does not practice true economy
Clover should be cut as soon as it is fairly in
blossom. A few days delay. especially with the
medium variety, will greatly lessen its value.
Begin cutting the dew 10 of and all
that can Oe cut before O'Clock may be cooked
the same day. AS soon it can be raked, and
while quite heavy and green, it can be cooked
safely If good hay weather follows, it may
stand two days IN the cock and be drawn the
third day. 1t ls sometimes necessary to turn
the cocks over SO that the bottom may be aired
for time, but usually it may De drawn without
In case of very hard rain it will BIS necessary to
spread out the cocks, but with only ordinary
showers they will dry without shs labor. If
clover is cooked the same day that it 10 cut, and
is cured without opening. 1t may be drawn when
quite heavy to handle and still keep perfectly
in the NOW. Such hay is of the highest value
for cows other stock, but over-ripe or moldy
clover is almost worthless. / like TO see the
clover blossoms retain their red color until they
are placed before the cows Such hay will be
greediiy eaten and there will be refuse to re-
move from the manger.

There is a movement on foot among Boston

particularly bitter since Boston began 60 get the
benefit Of the new short route to the Northwest,
meaning the 800" route The Journal says
that 1.-The New York; Chicago trunk lines natu-
rally suffer by the diversion of grain and other
traffic from the usual Chicago route to the sea
board and Boston gets the benefit of becoming
the export point os grain which formerly went
from New York. Boston dealers say that this
fact is the secret of the outcry IN which the
voice of Gen. James n Wileon has been so
prominent His patriotic protests against Ca
madam competition, it 10 asserted, are explained
by sbs nafural opposition of the Western lines

bringing to the attention of Congress and the
