FERTILITY FROM SHADE.
A Large Factor In the Enrichment
of Soil by Glover.

OF SOIL by clover.
Several years ago, perhaps twenty.
book came into my hands the title
Of which was Farming With Green
Manures." in which | remember an In
teresting paragraph about an English
farmer who inadvertently left for some
months barn door i'm his fallow field,
the crops were particularly luxuriant
where the door had been lylng-so
much so that one would have said that
some rich manure had been applied to
that spot. have long since concluded
that shade Is one of the main factors
in clover's enriching soil, for there is no
crop we grow which shades land more
perfectly than clover under proper
management, especially the mammoth
clover, which makes n very large and
heavy growth. l attribute the benefit
of the shade to the chemical action
which is induced in the soil by 1t.
Boards shade it more thoroughly
when they lie fat on the ground and
also kill out the weeds and cause the
tops and roots of the weeds TO decay,
but to shade the land with boards is
too expensive and troublesome to be
practicable. | have concluded that the
shading with clover is not only just as
good, but even better, because the
roots of the clover will favorably af-
feet the mechanical condition Of the
soil and by their decay will add plant
food. The weight of the roots of clover
has been shown TO be greater than the
weight of the tops. This was ascer-
tanned by digging up square yard.
washing and drying the roots and then
estimating the amount of both tops
and roots per acre.
Fine Effect of Mammoth Clover.
There is no crop that ! am familiar
with that affects the soil more favora-
bly, than clover and no growth which
enriches the land so much.
The first mammoth clover / ever saw
was exhibited at our county fair some
! forty years ago. 1t had grown on rich
soil and fallen down; then it was
pulled up by the roots and tied in
bundle and measured six feet In
length. As the mammoth clover al
ways lodges, it produces much more
dense shade than the medium, and as
| it is usually cut with u raised sickle
so as to leave a large percentage of the
haulm on the soil the shade Is cOntin
ued during the entire summer, even
after the crop has been removed.
have grown both mammoth and me-
dunn clover on my own farm now for
a quarter of a century and have reach
ed the conclusion that the expense Of
growing the mammoth clover Is very
much less than that Of the medium
from the fact that perhaps a fourth of
the amount of seed will give as good n
shade or possibly better than Of me-
dunn used at the rate of a bushel to
| ten acres, which is the usual seeding

Sabbath and Temperance.

Hon. w. ]. Bryan is one of our
public men who, in his worldwide
travels. as did General Grant, has
made himself known as a Sabbath
keeping and temperance man. He
recently declined dinner to be
given in his honor on the Sabbath
day, saying: II am sorry. but it's
Sunday, and go to church. Won't
you GO with me?" Such man does
much to raise the Christian stand
ard wherever he goe S. Happy
would it be for our nation If all our
public men were actuated by such
principles.

were invited into the large dining
room and after quite a number had
been seated around the heavy-laden
table the good old Doctor stood at

then the work began. What was
done to that dinner was enough.
1t consisted of all kinds of nice veg
etables. boiled ham. tried chicken,
salads, pickles, preserves. pies, GUS
tards, ice cream and cakes. After
80 had dined to their hearts con-
tent the gentlemen sought til e

dies remained indoors, except few
of the Younger set who spent the
afternoon in driving until about 4
o'clock. Then we were all invited
into the parlor and with Mrs. Thea
Terrell at the organ aud quite a
number assisting in the singing we
spent an hour very pleasantly lis
tening to the beautiful songs sung
by those Christian people. And
then came the hour of parting.
