Clover and Blue-Cirass.

Clover, like some of the weeds, is
hard to exterminate If allowed to go
to seed. If the seed are pl0wed under
six or eight inches, they will remain
in sound condition for years and
grow readily when brought near the
surface by deep blowing. Where
clover has ever been on the laud
clover plants will make their appear
ance every time the land lies idle.
Old bluegrass pastures and mead
Ows can be greatly improved by SOW
ing them, in February or early March,
in clover, at the rate OF one peck OF
seed to four acres OF land. Clover in
bluegrass pastures does not interfere
with the yield of grass, but in most
cases the yield of grass seems to be
greater when the clover is ia it, and
the clover is in no way hindered from
growing.
II some of the clover in pastures
goes to seed each year there will be
more or less clover every year, but IL
grazed close enough to prevent seed
ing it will be necessary to SOW clover
every two years. 1t is on old mead
ows that little clover makes a won
derful show. The two crops seem to
be an aid to each other. The yield
of each is in reased by the presence Of
the other. When we consider 1t Is no
trouble outside of sowing the seed to
get stand OF clover in old meadows,
the wonder is nearly all meadows do
not have some clover i'm them.
Red clover. when fed alone to
work stock, may be in many ways
Objectionable, but when fed in con-
nectiOn with timothy hay we cannot
see that any oh, ectiol can be made
to it. Much of the prejudice against
clover as food for work stock comes
from letting stock have too much.
But no particularly bad results have
been noticed from giving work horses

forgotten that meadows with clover

powers decreased; the, slave trade
has been made piracy, serfs eman-

out in our own county. The tele-

this century. The great benevolent
and fraternal movements have at
tained their greatest force in our
day. In our age, too. has begun the
emancipation OF woman from the
p1ejudices which limited her scope of
occupation and her right to COM

kinds of business and professions,
and the most splendid schools have
been founded for the benefit of her
sex. Political equality has in many
places, too, been conferred upon her.
The luxuriousness of modern travel,
also, is largely due to the feeling
that nothing is too good or too
