CLOVEE OH TEE FAJUL
Prairie Farmer.
No other thine on the farm so
thoroughly marks tho progress of
agricultures as tho rapidly incrcas
ing uso qt Ted clover. Tho two'
(old benefits 61 clover aro so ob'
vionsly manifest to every farmer
that tho incrcaso in its nso is not
surprising. Its wonderful yield
as a forago crop makes it ono of
tho most desirable to raiso vhetc-
or to bo fed green or cured in tho
shapo of rowen. So rapidly does
it grow that it is no uncommon
thing to cut thrco crops'during a
singlo season; and no farmer ovor
expects to cut less than two crops.
Should tho farmer chooso to turn
tho stock on tho field it seems al-
most to roplaco tho day's picking
Dy us growth at night. 'Xno Ocltor
way is to cut and focd it in tho
rack and a given amount of ground
will feed fully twico as many crttlo
as when allowed to roam over it.
A vory important valno of clo
ver consists howovcr in its great
efficiency as a means or recuper-
ating the land and hero is the main
evidenco that its increased uso
shows an advanced stago in tho
sesenco of agriculture first tho
nso of a fcrtilirer of any kind is a
confession that tho land is not as
good as it is in tho power of man
to make; and noxt too uso of
clover as a means of enriching tho
ground shows that farmers aro
studying economic management of
their lands.
It is claimed bv somo that no
farmer can afford to plow under a
good crop of clover as a fertilizer
but that it should be fed to cattle
and tho mannro from tho cattle put
back on tho land with tbo growth
of thoso cattle aro together of
moro yaluo than tho crop ot gooa
crcon manure. Admitting this
claim tho roots of clover whon
allowed to grow two or three
years will benefit tbo soil by pen
etrating perforating and aerating
tho subsoils so as to increase tbo
yield of a wheat crop that may fol-
low at least twenty-five and often
fifty por cent on heavy clay soils.
Whathvor view may bo taken of
lbo subject thcro is no crop that is
generally growing in favor wiln
tho gonoral farmer East West'
Uorth or South and thero aro few
it any. crops that will result in so
few disappointments as will the
common red clover. J. W
A BLACK KAN'S COUNTRY.
It is only too certain that tho
emigrant is noiwamou in mo iyuju
Colnnv. savs a correspondent of
Tho London Telegraph. It is tho
country of tho black man of that
scorncr of clothes 'the noblo sav'-
agc. White labor languisnes; en-
ergy fails at tho momont prospects
opon. Tho Boor tho most adhes-
ive of mortals rests contented with
a squalid homo and a prospect of
untitled acres moro oxtensixo than
iiis cyo can survoy. Tho truo co-
lonial instinct is wanting that
indcscribablo intellectual capacity
of taking root whero tho foot falls.
Ambition hero seems to impel a
man no further than a desire to
obtain money enough to enablo
him whether ho bo an Englishman
or a German to rcUrn homo and
stop thoro. A prosperity may
ariso that will bo as tho vino bush
is or the gum trco a pnro growth
of South African soil but with
antecedents with a beginning in
white bands. But down to the
present moment tbo systems arc
not thoso of a colonization Buch as
created a great republic across tho
western ocean sucn as has builded
an empire of cities and populous
towns in the distant Jfacfic. I say
it is a pity; for you cannot think
of tho mighty tracts of green and
beautiful country stretching in
mountains and valleys and plains
to tho cnuatori.il latitudes and of
tho dreadful poverty you see and
hear of and read about in London
and tbrouchout Great Britain and
Ireland without deep regret that
tho land should bo universally de
clared to offer no opportunities to
those in need ot bread.
AUGUST BOTTER
Wc aro often told'tfiat Juno and
July butler is primo when August
butter fails; thon it grows better
in September and so on. wny is
Juno and July butler belter than
August buttor 7 Because tho cows
have gono out in tbo fresh field and
liavo had puro gross in abundance.
Tho flow of milk is increased and
wo readily churn butter from it In
about ono-half tho time in July
that is required in the winter timo
or in other seasons. This is bo-
caqso of tho June grass. Tho last
of July tho feed begins to fail. June
grass has becomo too ripe anil
something elso not so good must
take its place. Tho dairyman
should havo a crop of winter rye
and feed that with his corn-meal
and csrry it through tbo month of
August
Cows fail in milk moro in the
montli.'of August than in any other
part of the season. In the month
of September tho cattle aro allowed
to sweep over tho meadows and
around tho corners of the fences
whero'lho mowing jnachino did not
reach. Tho remedy is to feed corn
meal during tho month of August.
It would cost a sriflo over ono cent
per pound for feed and extra
trouble but tho butter yield would
bo kcit up. If tho ryo gets too
npo beforo August havo a crop ot
clover for tho cattle. When tho
iyo gels nicely started cut it with
a mowing machine and a second
crop will soon bo ready.
Georgia Jaw allows tho ownor o
a cow which has been shot on land
not enclosed by a lawful fence to
rcccivo three times its valuo. In
Robcrtsvillc a cow's valuo is de-
termined by tbo number of quarts
ot milk sho gives at a milking
at the rato of 35 for each quart.

BXrUOTKO FOE FAEHEE3.
St. Louis Republican.
In view of tho extremely low
price of agricultural products the
ownor of n'farm who puts a now
mortgago on it for any ordinary
purposo is very rash. tie may
havo good reason to believe that
outlays in .barns machinery or
other improvements would be a
great convo'niSncoaml consider-
ably incrcaso tho productivo ca
pacity of his iarm but the hard
fact remains that few farms are
now paying moro than a small in
torcst on their cost and that unless
tho money which he might invest
in buildings stock or tools added
to tho yield of his land enough to
return a lair rato per cent upon
tbo sum so expended it would only
incrcaso tho difficulty ot ma kin
both ends meet.
In many parts of tho west and
south-west thoy aro still paying 8
and 10 per cent on old mortgages
amply secured and all over the
country tho rates ot interest on
farm debts arc in many instances
higher than thoso paid by other
borrowers who givo no hotter se
curity. At a timo when money is
vainly seeking investment in all
financial centers at extremely low
rates of interest and several Usucs
of bonds paying 3 per cent or less
aro being eagerly purchased it is
a great pity that such n state of
things fchould exist. Tho query is
prompted whether it is not teas-
lblo for farmers to follow tho ex.
amplo of states municipalities and
tho United States government and
rofund a largo part of their in-
debtedness with great advantage
to their financial condition.
If ho wero to borrow money on
a now mortgago ho would doubt
less mako a diligent ctlort to get
it as cheaply as possible but lie

terest upon amorlgagogivcn when

KEEP DOWN THE WEEDS.
This is the day and this is tho
hour. Tbo conflict is irrepressible.
It will probably nover end. And
yet each farmer and gardener can
wage tho war so closo that victory
will bo easy. Weeds aro most easily
killed when small the smaller the
better. But all cultivators of the
soil should have ono rulo which
should cover bo violated: Ucvcr
allow a weed to go to seed on tho
premises .Frequently an idle paten
of ground if it bo only one-fourth
of an aero will raiso enough to
seed the whole farm and have
enough left to supply tho neigh'
bors. Keep all of tho ground in
use cither in grass or under closo
cultivation. There is many a farm
or this year who has foul fields
caused by leasing it to a careless
and slovenly renter. Or moro pro-
bably ho is a sloven himself and
his farm has been crowing more
foul for several years nnlilho nor
any onoolse can raiso paying crops
It must bo redcemod or tho owner
will go to insolvency and tho land
becomo worthless eaten up and
poisoned by weeds. Tho farmer's
prosperity depends upon his con
stant war upon weeds and nover
Jet any go to seed.

of great towns arc invariably tho
"dangerous classes "of thoso towns
and if wo would clvilizo theso wo
mutt first banish dirt from among
them. Dirt forms no part of our
nature. It is parasito foedlng upon
human lifo and destroying it. It
is hideous and disgusting. Tiicrcn

whoro dirt is for dirt is indecency.
There can bo Iittlo purity of mind

ten controlled his soldiers alter ho
was dead. An incident is related
ot the time just following his death
showing the cfictt of his example.
A soldier approached a picket pro-
duced a pass which had been sign-
ed by Stonewall Jackson. The
guard looked at it for a momont
and said: "That would pass you
to heaven but not past this post."
Ex.
The arrest ot tho editors ol the
New York Volks-Zcitung for pub-
lishing a boycott notice as an ad-
vertisement will servo a good pur-
pose in making it plain that it is
no pait of a newspaper's privi-
leges to publish such advertise-
ments or to use its influence in fur-
thering such schemes ot intimida-
tion. There arc several St. Louis
editors who need education on this
point. St. Louis 1'cpnblican.
lioscoc t'onklmg is reported 10
havo said in 1880 after the Chiago
convention that a party should
alwnj-s nominate its strongest man
and that failing to nominate Grant
tho Jtcpublicans should havo nom-
inated Blninc. From Ins courso
in 18S1 however it seems pioha-
blc that ho was not very earnest in
the opinion imputed to him.
