Clover c Land.

Glover Sick land.
We used to hear much of land getting
clover sick, or so that while rich
enough for corn or most of the usual
farm crops, it seemed not to he suit
able for clover. Either the seed would
fail to catch OF the plants would die
out before they had attained size
enough to show them above the other
grasses. Perhaps on IL poor field near
by there would be n good crop of clover
growing, sown with seed from the
same bag and under the same condi-
tons of season. When we first noticed
this we saw that the farmers who had
used wood ashes on their fields had no
trouble in growing clover, and that in
pastures where bushes had been cut
and burned there We're often punches
of clover, most frequently of white
clover, that came in and remained until
they We're killed out by being fed too
closely. This led us to believe the clover
would be benefited by the use of wood
ashes or any form of potash. Then we
noticed that farmers who used a COM
mercial fertilizer in addition to their
manure had no trouble in growing
clover. Later studies showed us that
lime formed n considerable part of both
ashes and the superphosphatcs, and
thus we do not hesitate to advise any
u to apply lime where they wish to
grow clover, and to use acid phosphate
and muriate of potash when they sow
the seed. Or as topdressing %afterward.
We think these are a sure remedy for
clover-sick soil.-Exchange.

Burns Won the Dinner.

There is Il story told of Robert Burns
In his youth. Burns was living in the
town of Ayr, and though still young
had attained more than Il local reputa-
ton rs a poet. One day he was pass
ing through the main street OF the
town. and saw two strangers sitting ut
II of the inn windows. With idle Gu
riosity he stopped to look ut them.
Seeing him, and thinking that the rus
tic might afford them some amuse
ment while waiting, the strangers
called him in and asked him TO dine
with them. Burns readily accepted
the invitation, and proved IL merry, en-
pertaining guest.
When dinner was nearly finished, the
strangers suggested that each should
try his hand at versemaking, and that
the n who failed to write a rhyme
should pay for the dinner. They felt
secure in the challenge, believing that
their rustic guest would pay for the
meal. The rhymes were written. and
Burns read the following: II. johnny
Peep, saw two sheep; two sheep saw
me. Half a crown apiece will pay fol
their fleece, and 1. Johnny Peep, &C
free" The strangers astonislment
was great, and they both exclaimed

Winter Work.

WIZ
The farmer should rejoice Mt the al
proach of winter, not because it will be
Il season of rest, but because it will give
him an opportunity to do so many
things that lie has neglected in the
hurry of planting, cultivating and har-
vestins. There are many little things
for which there seems to be no great
haste. They can be done ut any time.
and that neal that they are eve
done, or done in great haste when they
reach the point where they must be
done. When we We're farming we used
the days when it was not suitable
weather to work out of doors in putting
all tools and machinery in good condi.
ton, including farm wagons and carts,
and they We're painted, if they needed.
1t, Which most OF them did even after
one years Use. The work might not
have been done very artistically, but
the paint served to protect the wood
from the weather. Then harnesses
cleaned. mended and oiled. and
repairs made on gates, fences, etc,
while during the pleasant days manure
was drawn out, and the ulnme wood
brought home. All this so helped when
the spring work began that III we de-
sired to go on q farm again we should
much prefer to take it in November
than March, unless we were SURF that
our predecessor had been one who
spent the winter days in getting ready
for the coming season.-Alncrican Cul.

Of his most persistent. but eve ILL.,

Sir John prided himself on his knowl-

debates on the commercial treaty with
France he made u speech exposing, as
he believed. a serious chemical blunder
in the treaty. Mr.. Gladstone followed.
"and o o turned me inside III in the

in relating the story, proving. as If he
