Clever a. an Aooumulatos.

T. Greiner Of LaSalle, n. Y, has just
issued useful little book entitled
practical Farm Chemistry" from which
we republish the following passage
when we are told that clover is a
''renovator" of the soil, we would natur
ally feel inclined to ask What does it add
to the soil? Its mineral constituents
among them the potash and phosphorit
acid. cannot possibly be derived from
any other source but the soil. Like other
leguminOus plants, clover has the power
Of gathering and assimilating free nitro
gen from the atmosphere; but it cannot
possibly be enough to make up for the
nitrogen taken off in the hay. So We
see that the famed "renovator of soils
takes a good deal away, and returns
nothing but portion of the removed
hay harvested leave the land
poorer by SO pounds Of potash and p
pounds Of phosphoric acid; and II many
such crops are taken of, without return
| ing these mineral elements in some form
to the soil, it is very plain that the lat
ter must, in the end, lose its fertility
This explains why clover will not grow
on exhausted land, especially on thai
which lacks potash, for Of that substance
clover desires considerable quantity
1t further suggests the usefulness OF
potash on land intended to be seeded t.
clover, but shy to take While clover
thus fails to add mineral elements to the
sail. its services as an "aCcumulator' OF
available plant foods can hardly be ap
preciated too highly. From soil an6
atmosphere it draws its nourishment ant
stores it in its own tissues. The one
year old roots and stubs contain the
large quantities Of fertilizing substances
previously named; and when plowed in
furnish to the next crop liberal supply
Of food in most digestible form. Thus
clover helps along the crop or crops fol
lowing it; of course, at the expense o.
the fertility of the soil; and this agaiI
makes it plain why farmers like to plan
such crops as corn and potatoes on youpf
clover sod.

Apples Of any kind, ripe and sound.
are much liked by all animals. A horse
will come across 10 acre field for An
apple, while COW or pig will be
equally pleased. Sour apples are no
less nutritious than sweet ones. 1t is
an error to suppose that acids are
not useful as food. Some, as the
citric and malic acid of fruits and
the Tactic acid of vegetables, are indis-
pensable to health, and that common
disease of sailors, scurvy, is caused by
want Of these vegetable acids, and is
cured by them. Other animal diseases
caused by accumulation of alkaline mat
ter in the blood, chiefly soda and lime,
are prevented by using fruits which all
contain acids; and, as whatever con
tributes to health, hastens the fat
tening process, or the yield of
milk. sound ripe apples are useful for
fattening pigs and for mich cows. Being
easily and completely digestible, as roots
also are. there is no need to cook apples
but potetoes differ in this respect and are
better cooked than raw. Sound teeth
are not injured by the acid Of apples.
Apples may well be grown as feeding
crop for their usefulness.-NewY York

enduring things In literature have been
the capitalization OF years Of observation
and thought. Nearly every great move
ment for the advancement Of the race,
has been a long time in assuming final
| shape. Walter Besant recently told a
| writer for the Christian Union that he
had walked the streets Of London for %
years, keeping his eyes and ears open,
and jotting down at night memoranda OF
the things seen and heard. What espec-
cially impressed him and excited his
sympathy in the East End was the ter
rible sameness and monotony of the
| peoples lives there. That took hold on
him even more than the poverty. The
idea Of the Peoples Palace was his, but
the credit for working it out to success
he gives to Sir Edmund Currie. Con
corning that remarkable experiment he
says:
"Please understand this. The People $
Palace is not intended for the gutter
people. for the hopelessly morally and
physically unfit. You cannot touch the
hahitual criminals, although it is true
they come to the library and drop in at
the concerts yet you cannot really touch
them. When they do come. must do
them the Justice TO say they behave well

Currie ia the first person who has really
trusted these people. He will have no
policemen to interfere with them. They
only want looking after. | was dead
against the exclusion of intoxicants my
self. Let there be perfect freedom, ] ar
gued but we find that rs matter of fact
no one wants them at all nor do they go
out between whites for "nips.' We
have our own band, our own choir, clubs
without end we hope soon to have our
own dramatic society. and our own writ
ers for our own newspaper, and our own
teachers for our own schools. ! often

Club-s hundred and fifty of us. Per

all together. We do not indulge in little
hole and corner meetings of two. Then
the electric light in the Palace at night
s great help to us and to morality.
Let me speak plainly, it prevents vast
amount of misery"
Millions of people had seen during
those twenty years the same sights Mr..
Bessnt saw. but they failed to reflect
upon them or, il they did, their reflections
did not crystallize into practical philan
thropy. It remained for this strong,
earnest man, bordering for years upon
the ills Of his feliow-men, to evolve plan
for their relief whose benefits have been
iucalculable.

Walter Besant thinks that the greal
secret Of Generals Booths power Is per
sonal sympathy. He is confident thai
the general, In his great work for the
benedt of the poor and needy Of London
will succeed Ia rescuipg about all who
are worth saving" He says: II have

run down Booth and who basely insinuate

touch one penny Of his vast funds.
From the time General Booth started
10 this great work the JOURNAL has
expressed the belief that II
would be crowned with large
measure OF success. There is small
army OF sociological scientists who have
grown adept in pointing out the evils thai
exist in the social structure Of modsrf
society. So far as their work goes 1t /;
beneficial TO the race; but up to date IL
has apparently been woefuily weak IL

To General Booth belongs the credit Of
having brought forward the first practi

eauaiities. IL would be well for tbs
army Of critics who have assailed hin
TO see If they can give the world any
thing better. The general has plar
and, what is better is putting it into prac

that he il only the pioneer in many sim

Ia years to come. for the alienation o
