phate, and according to the published
opinion of Prof. Roberts, it was mostly
recovered from the subsoil through
the aid of the clover, and thus made
available for the use of the wheat crop
that followed.
This is scientific corroboration of
what many careful observers believe to
be true-that the growing Of a clover
crop does not diminish the available
plant food in the SOIL Although a
clover sod is an excellent preparation
for corn or potato crop, still it is not
necessary to plow and cultivate field
in order to receive the benefit of the
decaylng clover roots.
If field is seeded with six quarts of
clover seed and an equal amonnt of
timothy. clover will largely predomi-
nate during the first and second years.
Under ordinary management. the clio.
yer will mostly disappear after two
years, and timothy will form the main
crop. The decaying clover roots afford
nourishment to the timothy, which in
the two years from seeding has gained
full possession of the ground, and the
result is better crop of timothy than
would have been obtained the first year
if the field had been sown to that alone.
1t is also true that the field will con-
tinue to yield paying crop for as many
years after the decay of the clover as it
would if no clover had been sown;
that is, the two years of clover add by
SO much to the length Of time that

A Great Work in a Short Time.

A Great Work in Short Time.
The engilage society Of England, of
which Lord Walsingham is president,
reports that while the system was prac-
tically unknown FIVE years ago, yet in
1887 statistics show in Great Britain
alone 2,700 silos and l 800 stacks of
ensilage. .'Iu the present century,"
according to the words of the report,

such rapid and successful development
as that of ensilage" British steers are

roots. Pigs and horses are reported
there as doing well on remnants of

ewes after lambing. Our large West

British livestock breeders are loud in
their praises of ensilage.
Our Eastern farmers continue to
sleep and slumber like the FIVE foolish
virgins in the parable. Not a silo in
all this region. There is no excuse for
this since it has been ascertained they
are SO easily and cheaply made, the
filling is much simpler work than for
merly, and the ensilage far better when
preserved sweet by the late process.
By the method of slowly filing the
