Farm Notes.


1t has long been lSno En that heavily
stocking an old garden with red clover,
allowing it to remain two years with
out blowing, will bring the soil back to
its fertility and vigor.
Asparagus is greatly benefited by air.
which should be given whenever the
state of the weather and the atmos-
phere of the frame permits. At night
preserve an equable temperature by
covering up the frames with litter.
In transplaating trees all the roots
which may nave become bruised or
broken in the process of lifting should
be cut clean away behind the broken
part. as they then more readily strike
out new roots from the cut parts. In
all such cases the cut should be a
clean. slipping one, and made in an
upward and outward direction.
Any farmer can try the experiment
of innoculating the soil " tn the nee

growth of Il crop Should the soil
seem unadapted to clover 1t will be
found OF advantage TO procure a few
bushels of earth from a field upon
which grew 4 luxuriant crop of clover,

and seeding to clover. the possibility
being that a good stand Of clover will
be obtained.
