GROWING CLOVER.

~ ksAse
Hon. 7. 3. Terry, Hudson, Ohio.
Thirty odd years ago, I went on %
: farm ii Ohio, 90 run down that Il
would scarcely grow weeds. One acrs
yielded forty bushels Of big and little
7potatoes mostly little. The previous
years. corn crop Vas not worth har-
vesting. My first crop Of wheat went
eight bushels to the acre; and my
neighbors called It q good crop"
Yet, in ten or twelve years we were
growing per acre from 80 to SO bushels
Of wheat, 200 to $50 blshels of mer-
charitable potatoes and from four to
five tons of clover hay, in two cut.
tings. These were larger crops than
the soil had ever produced. BY acci-
dent some clover seed was sown the
first spring; and @ the season proved
to be wet, there was fair stand OF
clover. When moved, we got more
hay to the acre; and when fed to the
COWS, We got more milk. Later on I
discovered that corn would grow on
this clover sod, yielding equally we'll
with thinIy MANFRED timothy sod.
This, then, was the result of growing
clover: more hay to. the acre; better
hay,-the COWS said so-and increas-
ed fertility afterward. !;
At considerable risk and expense l
arranged my land for rotation OF
crops in the following order, namely,
clover, potatoes and wheat; continu-
ing this rotation for many years.
For three or four years the gain was
slight; in six or eight years We were
pretty we'll satisfied; but with each
successive period of rotation the gain
continued until we were actually grow
ing as large crops as could stand on
the ground.
Now, how was this done? There are
three principal elements needed to in
crease soil fertility, namely, nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash. If you
burn anything, like brush or stubble,
the nitrogen goes into the air, while
the phosphoric acid and potash re-
main. The air Is great storehouse
of nitrogen. Thousands Of dollars
worth at market prices il over every
