Rod Clover.
OF the thirteen elements necessary
for plant growth, the farmers usually
need take but little care, excepting in
the supply of potassium, phosphorus,
and nitrogen, and Of these three nitro
gen is the most precious and costly to
obtain. All agricultural plants draw
much OF their food from the atmos-
phere, and Of those used by the farmer
probably none are much exceeded by
clover in the large proportion of nutri-
ment thus derived. In this respect
other leguminous crops are much like
red clover. Glover seed is the best
manure that farmer can use. Glover
has been called a trap for nitrogen,
as it collects and presents large guam
titles of combined nitrogen in a form
ready to nourish growing crops. In
the words of DR.. Kedzie, With an
adequate supply OF combined nitrogen
all the other chemicals of agriculture
become active. while limited supply
OF active nitrogen correspondingly
limits the action OF the rest. For high
farming or the raising Of exceptionally
large crops, the great want is an
abundant and cheap supply of am
monia and the nitrates. An acre of
good clover will make 5000 pounds of
hay, containing 2S21a pounds of min
ersl matter or ash. In the ash will be
SIR pounds Of potash. Sc pounds Of
lime. 3412 pounds OF magnesia, and 2S
pounds of phosphoric acid. The hay
will also contain los pounds of COM
biled nitrogen. The roots and stubble
contain fully as much of these ele-
ments as the hay.
J. 3. Lawes found that in autumn
after the last crop Of clover was cut,

This was between three and four
times as much dry matter as the resi-
due OF the barley. In the words OF
kedzie, THE clover hay, or sod, con-
tains enough phosphoric acid for more
than double an average crop, enough
nitrogen for more than four average
crops, and potash for more than six
average crops of wheat! If any person
were preaching the gospel of agricul-
ture. he well might hold up the triple
leaf Of the red clover as the symbol OF
trinity OF blessing to the farmer,
furnishing for his cereal crops, from
otherwise inadequate sources, a suffi-
cient supply Of potassium. phosphorus.

over the face Of the empire many OF
them being rich and enjoying official
positions. Although opposed to the
main features Of Christianity, the Mo
hammedan faith is not entirely with
ont its advantages to the work Of the
Christian missionary. The denuncia-
ton of all idolatry, the worship Of
the true God the observance of the
MJhammedan Sabbath, and the teach
ing Of certain theological terms are all
aids to Christian preaching. On the
whole, however, most missionaries

CHAPTER XLVI.
Chimes of Wedding-Bells.

chimes OF Wedding Bells
There were the chimes of wedding
bells, sweet and low, with a strain of
plaintive music ever and anon re-
curing in the jubilant sound-wed-
ding-bells from the church of the
little town of st. Norman, where Ethel
was married.
They had wondered why she wished
the wedding quiet-why she almost
prayed them to let her be married in
the silence OF the early morning, with
out ceremony; but Lord st, Norman
would not consent.

to be married to a man whom | think
a hero, to desire a quite marriage!
cannot agree to it. The traditions OF
the Gordons forbid it.
So the marriage was grand and
magnificent Honored guests, both
rich and poor, were hidden to the feast.
Once more Ethel stood before the
altar. This time she carried no
passion-fowers in her hand; no Grim
son CLEAN from stained-glass windows
fell over her. Her husbands heart
gloried in her beauty, and on her fair
face there was no shadow of the past.
People said afterward that It was the
most beautiful wedding they had ever
seen, for it was all flowers Look
where the spectators would, there was
nothing but flowers. They said, also,
that so fair a bride had never been
seen. The wedding-vail fell in grace
full folds to her feet, the wreath OF
orange-nowers crowned her like
queen, and the face that shone beneath
the vail was most exquisite with its
dainty flush and tender light. Child
rem srewed flowers beneath her feet;
people wished the newly married joy;
the wedding bells chimed merrily; the
air seemed filed with sunlight and
music.
Lord ST Norman held his daughte'
in his arms as he wished her good-by.
