The chief value of clover is that it
collects nitrogen from the air, but
there is another reason that makes it one
of the best fertilizers that farmer can
secure. The clover plants grow great
many roots that are strong and fleshy,
which not only gather food from the soil
but store up the valuable nitrogen
which is taken through the leaves of the
plant from the air. When crop OF
clover is turned under and these roots
decay it can readily be seen how they
not only increase the humus in the soil
but greatly increase the amount of avail
able plant food as well. 1t is only
these leguminOus crops such as clover
peas or vetches, that are capable of col
lecting nitrogen in this manner. And
in places where manure is plentiful, as
well as in those where it is scarce, the
farmers should be Just as sure to 70
tate their fields, having clover as one
of the rotating crops, as they woulc
to manure their land before planting
their money crops. - New York Weekly

Glover seed is now in the market. al d
the forehanded farmer will soon be max.
ing his purchases for the spring seeding
In this connection some figures sent out
bv the Vermont experiment station will
be interesting: Out of many samples of
clover seed bought last year In Vermont
markets and examined by the Experi-
ment station, 81 per cent were below the
official standard of purity. Some sam.
pies were seriously of color. This is a
bad showing and calculated to make the
farmer scratch his head and think The
worst feature of the case is that what is
not clover seed is apt to be largely weed
seed. Some of the worst weeds which
the farmer has to fight are bought at the
store in the package with the clover seed
and cost him Sc a bushel There may be
thousands of weed seeds in every pound
One sample sold in Vermont last year
contained the enormous number Of o.
80 weed seeds to every pound Of clover
seed The weeds most commonly pur-
chased in this way are green fox -tail,
pigweed, redstem piantan, smartweed,
English plantain, sheep sorrPl, and curled
dock The only way TO be sure of get
ting good clover seed is to examine it
with a magnifying glass. One can see
most of the weed seeds with a small
hand lens. Or a sample may be sent to
the experiment station, Burlington,
where such things are examined free, as
far as possible.

A certain farmer, whom we know, has
made success in fruit growing. lie
has spent time and money, and learned
some things which are worth almost as
much to him as patent in some lines
of trade. One day merchant, in a
nearby town, drove out to the farm and
left this word for the farmer: "The
next time you come to town | wish you
would come to my store. want to talk
with you about business" The farmer
went out of his way to call at the store,
and found this cuisines" proposition
awaiting him:
"Now Mr.. Farmer, | expect to set
out about 500 fruit trees next Spring,
and | want you tell me what varieties
to buy, how to set them and how to
take care of them. Tell me the whole
story Thanks Have cigar
The farmer gave the information. He
got home so late that his chores drag
gcd and his wife scOlded him. As ne
MIXED the last COW this thought ran
through his mind: " Suppose | had sent
word to Mr.. Merchant that | wanted
to see him at the farm on business.
He comes expecting to sell good Dill Oh
goods and say to him:

as to get the trade of my neighbors'
