Drainage helps clover. As land
grows older its need Of underdrsinage
increases. and clover will not thrive in
q sodden soil nearly 80 well as some Of
the grasses that root near the surface.
An application Of ashes to an old soil Is
usually q short road to clover. The
ashes contain potash, which the plant
may need, and then lime In ashes IL
peculiarly effective. Where ashes can be
gotten at q moderate price they shonld
&c tried il clover is not thriving. Much
old land has some free acid in it-a fact
easily determined by q simple test. A
few cents will buy . supply Of blue lit
mus paper at drug store, aud this
paper has such properties that 1t turns
red when brought into contact with an
acid. BY placing slip Of this paper
in mOistened soil the presence Of acid
il easily detected. Plants like COW peas
thrive in an acid soil, but clover does
best In . neutral, or alkaline, soil. Lime
takes up this acid. and partly for this
reason an application Of lime to land IL
q tolerably sure way Of securing clover.

Country and City Population

The rural population Of the country
has little more than doubled during
the last half century. In 1850 1t was
20, OOO, 900; according to the census Of
1900 it was AZ, OOO,O 900. There should be
deducted from these latter figures s.
OOO, 900 people who do not work at ag-
riculture, as they live in the towns aud
villages. This would leave the rural
population ut 43, 100000 But in 1900.
as compared with 1850, there was pro-
duced four times as much corn, six to
eight times as much wheat, five times
as much oats, eleven times as much
barley, eight times as much cotton, six
times as much wool and from twenty
to one hundred times a. much hay,
pork, mutton, beef, chickens, butter
and eggs. There are only twice as
many farmers as in 1850 and yet the
value and quantity Of produce have
been twenty times greater.
Since 1850 the cities have multiplied
by ten, and the farming community
by two; yet we can readily understand
why % many men can leave the farms
and live in the cities. working in fac
tories or at other occupations, and still
the fact not prove an injury to the
farming interests. Modern ingenuity
has devised machinery of greatly d.
versified description which takes the
place of manual labor, and mankind
| generally has been benefited thereby.
