THE remedy for the prevalent
crime OF embezzlement, if there be
one, will have to strike pretty deep
into human motives and pretty close
to the root Of all evil. The greed for
wealth is in almost any case the first
incentive Ii it is accompanied by
moral slackncss which will allow a
man to use, even temporarily that
which does not belong to him, it is
pitched to receive with open arms the
temptation to embezzlement The
slightly different phase OF this passion
for money. which is represented by
the gambling vice, is also a frequent
incentive to the larger offense. No
single law of prevention or punish
ment will etfectually relieve it. II it
is truly on the increase. it is because
American life is too exac.ing in its de.
mands and because men hold too
high that form OF public appreciation
which is to be bought with money.
When they add to this the conscious.
ness that successful steal will not
wholly ostracize them they find sew
eral reasons for proceeding with it
and only one. the fear OF possible
retribution, for desisting.

is imposed upon by those who have

THE record will show that large
proportion of our abest and most tai
ented men in all occupations, at home
and abroad, were raised on the farm;
and portion of them attended some
academy, and portion were graduates,
and this was accomplished by the strenu-
GUS efforts of their parents.
WHAT would be the result If a man
were to work until covered with per-

or in a cold wind? Any doctor will say
that this would be very rash aud fool
ish act, with the chances in favor of
permanent injury. The horse in SINH

like risk.
THERE was time when the best

aptness of knowing how aud when to

cess in the business the intellectual
man economses by the use of thought

WHILE the truth of the above state
ments cannot be questioned, the ex-
perience of many farmers, our own in
cluded, is that soil may be unable to
grow clover, however literally seeded.
On a piece so sown to clear clover by
us, the past season, the greater part
was a success; but about one fourth of
it, at one end, where the soil was lighter
and little higher, was an almost total
failure. The same thing can be
noticed on grain fields seeded with
timothy and clover. The "catch " of
clover will often be so uneven as to
give the appearance of the most care
less seeding-!arge spots having most
luxuriant clover, while other large
areas will be almost bare of it. Ex-
animation will show, on these spots
where the clover failed, that the limo
thy is also inferior-and yet in the pre-
vious applications of dressing, either of
dung or fertilizers, there was no such
unevenness. A very notable instance
of this is before our eyes as we look
out of the window. Across the road,
on neighbours farm, is field that last
spring was carefully and we'll fortified
with constable manure, put on by
Kemp Spreader. The grain crop (oats)
was excellent and remarkably even,
but the clover patch is just as "spotty 1"
as our own in some places thick
and rank, in others very thin, and
in others almost wanting. No such
great difference is seen in the grass,
yet it is clearly not so good where
the clover has failed. 1t would
seem that here is field for fur
Their investigation by our scientists. If
our scientific friends of the Vermont
or New Hampshire experiment sta
tons can aid in enlightening the public
on this interesting subject, we hope
they will not fail to do so. Any way,
it is matter we'll worthy of careful ex-

there is little difficulty in concluding
that the apparent mystery of clover
enriching the soil is explained; and

than when the timothy is sown alone,
is confirmed.

demonstrated that these minute ami

A CORRESPONDENT of the Southern
Cultivator calls attention to a matter
that we do not remember to have seen
referred to before, in saying" while on
the subject of the failure of the grasses,
am reminded of a certain kind of re-
lation which appears to exist between
timothy and common red clover, and l
illustrate it in this way: Choose two
fields of equal crop fertility, SOW the
one with the usual amount of timothy
seed and the other field with the same
quantity, with five to ten per cent of
red clover added; the yield of timothy
sown with the clover will be consider
ably larger Gin addition to the clover)
in growth and amount, and heavier in
weight, than where the timothy has the
monopoly of the land. 1t seems from
this that the germs developed on the
clover roots assist the timothy, and thus
endorse the new doctrine of plant nu-
triton"
