Few farmers will sow as much clover seed when it is bought at a high price, as when they have raised a good crop; either some field or part of a field that ought to be seed ed, will have to lie over, or if all land in proper condition is sown, there if often a rather light seeding—"it costs so much for seed." The greatneed of improving the soil, and the well known value of clover as a ren ovating crop, show that this is poor economy. There is more or less lost, in the quantity and quality ol the crops grown from such seeding; so that, to save one dollar in seed, ten dollars in products are often sacrificed. The best remedy for this is to grow plenty of seed: then, when disposed to seed liberally, the farmer will not be prevented by any draft on the poeketbook. Another good reason is that clover seed, if well managed, is a profitable crop—more so, in lact than most farmers appear to be aware of. They do not seem to consider that nsnal ly two crops are grown in a year—one of bay and one of seed: and that these crops are of ten of considerable value—say an average of H tons of bay. worth, at $lO a ton, sls, and ■jl bushels of seed, at $6 a bushel, also sls, making S3O to an acre in one season. And these are only ordinary crops; often two tons of hay and four or five bnshelsof seed—seven bushels have been grown in this way in this country— are strown to the acre, while prices are often much higher, giving from S4O to SOO per acre for hay and seed. This is the usual way of growing the small kind. The.ptber variety, being a larger and L;er plant, requires different management. There is not so much of this kind grown, but the price being higher, now and then a farmer makes it profitable. A friend of the writer is [uite successful with this yariety—his gener al average being five bushels per acre. Last season he grew forty three and one half bush els on eight acres—nearly five and one half bushels per acre. This seed has probably sold for some or-$0 a bushel, which, with the pasture—it is fed close up to the 10th of June, and the seed comes offeasly in Septem ber—makes it a very profitable crop: and this, too, it should be remembered, is grown with out any expense for fitting the land or other cultivation. How many farmers do a large amount of work, in fitting and cultivating land for grain crop>. that do not return half the money! And how few are the farmers that make their grain crops realize better returns! The one refered to is a full better farmer than the average, and grows more or less wheat, barley corn aDd oats: and it is very doubtful ■whether any one of those grain crops average as much money per acre, one year with an other, as his clover seed. And yet, while all of the grain crops are expensive for cultiva tion and seed, clover seed, in reality, costs nothing for either, the clover giving a consid erable profit in the second year's crop, and improving the soil over all expense for and use of land. There is, in fact, no cultiva tion required: making the land iu good condi tion for wheat or barley is the best preparation for clover seed. And then, there is no great difficulty in growing clover seed, although many fail, or come short of the best results, because the different operations are not attended to in their proper season. Farmers are careful to harvest wheat and other grain crops in their proper season; but leave clover standing un til it is convenient to attend to it. But there is often great loss in this way. Not that the seed that is lett is injured, but that a large part is shelled off the heads. The chaff shells off very easily: and when the farmer may think it best to wait a little for some of the later heads to ripen, he may lose a con siderable share of the earliest and best seed. If a good crop of seed from the small kind is desired, the first cutting must be early. When it i ■ as soon as the first of July, there will often be double the seed grown in the second crop, that will be secured if the first cutting is ten days later. Still but few farm ers take pains to cut clover hay early. Often, to save hiring a week or two, the clover ,tand3 until the tenth or fifteenth of July, when of course the following crop of seed n -t be light. Although the farmer thinks i: .le about it at the time, yet he has sacri ficed a large part of his crop of seed—per haps makes it so late that it will not be thought worth saving, and lost from ten to twenty dollars an acre to save a few dollars lor hired help. Each year's observation proves that this is often the case; and no doubt thousands of farmers in Western New Tork lose, or fail to realize, hundreds of dol lars each every year by such mismanagement with clover and clover seed.—F., in Country Gentleman. SALT FOR PEACH TREES. Downing, in his valuable work on Fruits and Fruit Trees, speaks of the application of to peach trees as a very effectual agent for the destruction of the peach-worm. He says: —"In a neighborhood where the peach worm usually destroys one-hulf the peach trees we have seea them preserved in the healthi est condition ly the annual application of a handful of coarse salt, about the collar of the tree at the surface of the ground." this tallies with my experience exactly. A few years since, having some young peach trees which (lid not present as healthful an appearance as desirable, and having a small quantity of refuse salt on hand, I resolved to apply it to some of the unthrifty trees. The change wrought in the appearance and condi tion of the trees to which salt was applied was very remarkable. The foliage assumed a dark green color, and the growth that fol lowed was very gratifying. Without being aware until recently of the suggestion of Mr. Downing, I continued the use of the salt, and with the same happy result, and am confident in the belief that peach-growers will find it to their advantage to adopt the method which 1 have found to operate so well. Whether the vigor of the trees is due to the destruc tion of the worms, or whether to the action of the salt, which experienced horticulturists tells us promotes the verdure and luxuriance of trees. I am not prepared to say.— Cor. Fruit Culturul. SHOULD A FARMER BE MORE THALF A FARMER. —We think he should.

The Machine wili thre.f, ard clean all kinds of grain generally thre.-hed w : th the common machine, and requires no more hor a power, but in many cases does not run to hard. It will apply very well to a two-horse rail way power. Now here is what the Farmer and thre-hermao wants, a Separator to go from farm so farm, to thrash grain, with more satisfaction than ',i* other separator now in use, and why i j; • cause this separator has a self regulating Bla p which prevents grain from blowing lot' -to. oh.ff and also has a self regulating feeder o te<-1 cleaner and it has roilers and combs the clean er which prevents it from choaking. Tthy me, this machine run so light, and give so little tr-m ble? Because there t less friction in the .Ic.r. nals, and the rake? and fan arc geared so that yon have no trouble wilh Beits breaking and dipping, causing dust to fall into tbe wheat. Why does It clean against the wind? Because the blast ha direct action --D tbe grain and the cleaner I well arranged that the wind has no chance u drive the dirt into the hopper. Why is it buik permanently ou two wheels and the fr. ni car riage separate, ready to attach when ne< ...,rv ? Because it is more convenient in the barn without the front carriage. You can turn tbe machine - run it from place to place more easily. Why has it not got Eievators like some other machin • Because llie Elevators carry the fifth back alter nately into the cleaner which must eventually .•, into the good wheat or in the chaff, and all know that filth should be kept separate for feed. 4e we might as well keep shoveling the Taihagi from under our hand fan into the hopper and ex- I>ct to get the grain clean. Why is this separa tor more cleaner and aatisfac iory to work a>. at than others ? Because the Fan and Trunk .-dies arc closed up to prevent the wheat chaff and dust from coming out and scattering over the S causing waist and giving much trouble with dir; and sore eves, Ac, Why do Threshermen : more work with tbe e separators than thev . with others? Because this separator has- alitht-j advantages and many more, which make- it a separator suitable and a pay'ng one f,r .. 1 farmers and Tbrashereaeu that have grain to thrash, whilst in in oft cases farmers uiu.-f suit themselves to the machine, because the machine will not suit Use'. to the farmer.
