Not suited to Our climate.

Excellent pianos may be bought in
Europe at perhaps two-thirds the cost
OF like instrument here, and even in
dividuals can import pianos to an adj
vantage in spite of the tariff. But a
fact that works pretty effectually to
protect the home manufacturer is that
either the American climate or the
usual steam heat tends to destroy the
imported piano, so that even the temp
tation of saving from 5000 to 800 on
the first cost does not induce many
persons to take the risk of an instru-
ment that cannot stand the climate.

Clover Farming.

The clover question is of vast
Importance now, for virgin fer
tility has gone from most of our
lands, and we must depend upon
artificial manure and rotation of crops
to keep things going on the farm, says
an exchange. There are thousands of
acres that formerly produced large
crops, but are now crying aloud for
good baptism of clover. 1t would be
well if the land could be turned over
to clover entirely for year or two,
and then this crop be kept growing in
rotation right along. But further than
this, we have lands that can not be
built up to clover alone. They have
been 'clovered" for years past, and this
very clover farming has been killing
them. Not that the clover is bad for
the soil, but the exclusive use of clover
is gradually extracting from the
soil all the potash and phosphoric
acid. Consequently each success
sive crop takes from the soil these two
mineral elements until the land gets
so poor that no crops will grow on 1t,
and yet it is being literally sup
piled with clover. The old lands in
this condition need clover, and they
need applications of potash and phos-
phoric acid. Even clover will decline
to grow on soil that is entirely robbed
of these two elements. In the east es-
pecially do we find land all but robber
of all the potash and phosphoric acid,
and yet the owners continue to grow
clover and wonder at their poor sue
cess. But there are still countless
farms in the west where clover can get
all the mineral elements that they
need, and clover farming there in its
primitive stages is attended with good
results. But where the crop refuses
to grow look out for mineral elements.
They are lacking generally in the soil.

The finest choir in the world is that

pope's choir. There is not a female
voice in it, and yet the most difficult
oratorios and sacred music are rem
dered in such a manner as to make
one think that Adelina Patti is lead
ing. The choir is composed of sixty
boys. They are trained for the work
from the time they get control OF
their vocal cords. At the age of II

Presently the fir trees at his back
