The Abuse Of Clover.

The abuse of clover consists in growing
it for the sole purpose of hay or grain to
be sold off the land. The use of it con-
sists in growing it for storing up nitrogen
in the soil in a form available for other
crops, which, in turn, should be fed out
on the farm, and the manure restored to
the soil. BY using clover, without abus-
ing it, it is possible to increase the supply
of nitrogen in the soil to almost any ex-
tent, and at the same time maintain the
other elements. These elements in their
available form are constantly Increased
by the liberatipg OF the nitrogen i'm the
soil itself through the action of frost,
water and tillage; and hence the use OF
clover will enable the farmer to keep his
land constantly in very high state OF
fertility, while the abuse of it will enable
him 10 make it more absolutely and ut
