Ouit estimate of the importance of
clover as a regular farm crop has
been'growing until we have come to
a point at which we believe it to be
the farmers "mainstay." Because of
this belief, and because the time for
seeding it is about here, we devote
the greater portion of our space
this week to the reproduction of a
large number of paragraphs giving
the opinions and the ideas of many
of the best farmers of the country
upon the subject. For a majority of
them we are indebted an annual call
ed "T/ie Clover Leaf ," published b\
J. C. Birchall A Co., at South Bend,
Indiana.
THE Country Gentleman advises
thorough pulverization and inter
mixture of manure with the top soil
before plowing under, and recom
mends repeated liarrowings with the
harrow as a good way'to accomplish
the object. It claims that experience
justifies it in saying that this will
double the value of the manure. In
support of this position we remember
that one of the very best and most
successful farmers wc ever saw al
ways insisted that his manure should
lie spread witli great care, and was
never satisfied unless it was made
"fine and even."
Clover--ItB Value, and the Way to Secure
a Catch.
By clovcring land hundreds of
worn-out farms have been rescued
from dilapidation and ruin.
Many farmers sow in wheat so
early in the spring that when the
seed does start it is killed by the
frosts.
The decaying leaves dropped from
the growth of clover, and the abund
ant roots, contain, when dry, a large
pen cent, of nitrogen.
To make the best use of clover as
n manure it must be plowed under to
ferment and stimulate the soil and
furnish nourishment for the coming
grain crop.
After the soil has been cultivated
long enough to become worn, good
good farming can not be bad without
clover. It is a renovating crop, and
is a necessity.
Let our farmers save all the clover
seed they can, and thus help to make
thousands of dollars for the State,
now sent out each year for clover
seed to sow.
A good clover sod will furnish
enough plant-food for two crops of
wheat in succession in most soils. I
keep my land in good condition
with clover alone.
The large amount of nitrogen ac
cumulated in the soil by red clover
makes it especially a necessity in
preparing for the wheat crop, on long
cultivated and worn soils.
The interest of the farmer is cen
tered in fertilizers, without which he
could not keep up the productiveness
of the soil. One of these is clover,
and no other is so ciieap.
Without clover, the farmer would
be without one of the most valuable
adjuncts absolutely neeessnyr to suc
cessful farming, for there is nothing
which can fully supply its place.
When clover is fed of! green, the
roots do not develop to the extent
that they do when grown for hay and
seed, and consequently do not accum
ulate of themselves so much of nitro
genous matter.
Clover cleans the land by choking
down the weeds and nourishes it by
the rotting of great masses of roots.
This is as good as manure. The fer
tiliziug principles are-drawn princi*
pally from the atmosphere.
Sow the seed, and let it grow, and
that is the end of it. If it is possible
to keep stock off of it for a year, till
it gets well established, it is better.
Sow all the clover seed you can this
spring. You will never regret it.
In sowing clover, sufficient seed
must be used to fully provide a erop
that will be enabled to get the start
of weeds and keep them down and
destroy them. Thin secdings do not
have the advantage of accomplishing
this.
The farmer who does not supply to
liis land the matter taken off in his
wheat, corn, oats, etc., will find his
soil growing more and more infertile.
Clover will supply the most of this
matter and will increase the fertility
of the land.
The seed needs to be sown with a
grain crop, of which rye is the best.
Young clover requires protection i
until its roots grow deep enough to
support it and withstand drouth, i
which it gets from the grain, and
without it would fall to make a good
stand.
Clover exhibits so many direct
relations to the growth of vegetation
and to the wants and comforts of
man, why may we not look forward
to the time when clover will precede
and follow every crop, and when all
uncultivated lands will be sown with
clover ?
Clover is the foundation of suc
cessful farming. There is no other
source of keeping up the fertility of
the soils of our farms with so small a
cost. Hence any and all information
in regard to the successful cultivation
of this forage plant and fertilizer is
valuable to every tiller of the soil.
It requires a large amount of top
dressing to supply the demands made
by our broad fields and the question
of a supply is always a very impor
tant one. As a substitute for top
dressing, many bring up the fertility
of their lands by sowing to clover
and turning under the erop, and ex
perience lias shown that it answers
the purpose admirably.
The advantages of clover for pas
ture, for hay, and as a fertilizer are
becoming year by year,better known
and appreciated by the agricultural
community. The requirements of
j grain producing farms are that they
shall have such elements as will
maintain their productiveness with
the greatest economy. Clover is that
acknowledged element and is fast
taking its place as a regular farm
crop.
There are many of the soluble fer
tilizing properties of plant growth
that leach down with the rains into
the deep sub-soil. It is necessary
that tiiesc should be brought to the
surface to the vitalizing action of
light and heat. This is accomplished
by the long, penetrating tap-roots of
clover, wbicli go down branching in
every direction, loosening the earth,
taking up the soluble mineral ele
ments.
American clover-seed lias been in
troduced into Uermany in quantities, 1
but complaints are made that, on
account of its not being well cleans
ed, it docs not bear comparison witli j
the* French and other European seed, j
The quality of the American seed is j
equally good and the prices as low as I
the European, but the difference in j
cleaning makes a difference of about
$2.40 per centner in favor of the
European seed.
Hough new land should bosulKlued
by the use of large (some call it \
English) clover. Nothing so effect- j
oally rots out stumps and kills weeds |
and sprouts, and prepares the land
for the plow and good paying crops.
Wild, new lands Hliould always have '
it sown on the first grain crop down,
it saves a vast amount of labor, for |
in a few years it so tames the ground j
and clears it of enemies to the plow
that it works like old ground, and is '
good for full crops.
The idea that clover is necessarily I
a short-lived crop, and should be j
turned under in a year or two after
sowing, is n most erroneous one.
No opinion could be more erroneous. !
This debars you from its use as food
for stock, and the growth" of roots is
cut short, a source of much of the
benefit coining from cultivation of
the crop. Therefore we attribute
more value to it as a crop for graz
ing and soiling, and as a means of
reinvigorating tired lands, rendering
tougli clays porous, and thin lands
vigorous and productive.
The best way to get clover mead
ows or pßstures is to sow rye early
in August or September, the earlier
the better. This will supply fall and
spring pastures for stock. In the
spring sow the clover seed, and har
row in thoroughly both ways. It is
a mistake to suppose it is best to
leave the seed oil top of the ground,
which has lieen hardened by fall and
spring storms. The harrow will
cover the clover just deep enough,
and it will cultivate the rye, so as to
produce a heavy crop. Either clov
: er or timothy makes a belter start in
rye than any other grain.
Clover to pay you the largest
profit, should be used by grazing ani
mals, yet for those so situated as to
make it available in that way, to <?ut
and feed it in the manger In the
green slate, the largest returns are
obtained. IMrectl}*, because the
yield is very large from a given sur
face, especially valuable to raileli
cows kept in the stable or yard, and
indirectly because, when cut In this
way, the roots arc stimulated to an
unusnl growth, laying the foundatiou
in the land for great benefit to future
crops. The roots run deep and
spread wide, rendering the soil, at
their decay, very porous. The air
circulates freely through the toughest
clay and water finds its way among
growing crops that follow clover,
turned under by tho plow.
Most farmers regard clover as a
means of fertilizing their soils, and
they arc right, so far as the surface
soil is concerned, even if the hay be
sold and carried away; but this en
riching of the soil is at the expense of
the subsoil. Ked clover has a very
large root, which extends to a great
depth In the soil. The root of a
clover plant at maturity will weigh
about one-third more than the top,
mid only the top is used, leaving the
root, (which is as rich in mineral
elements as the top), to enrich the
soil. Hut the clover simply brings
up the p >tash and phosphates from a
depth in the subsoil, below the reach
of common Crops. If clover be fed
on the farm and the manure returned
to the fields, or if it lie turned under
as a green dressing, the surface soil
is enriched by the material that the
clover brought up from the subsoil.
•Leguminous plants, hut especially
the clover— the kiog of manural <trop
—draw their main supply of soil food
from the deep subsoil, and by their
growth and decay they accumulate
these salts in the surface soil. 1 call
them the noil pum/tt to pump the
resources of the subsoil up to the
surface soil, where it is stored for the
use of surface feeders cereals.
When the' clover is buried in the
surface soil it has added to this soil
mineral matter which was nut there
before; it affords a positive increase
to the surface soil not only of nitro
gen and other accumulated air food,
but also of potash, lime, magnesia
and phosphates for the use of subse
quent crops. This wonderful power
of clover to drink in from the air
nbove, and to pump up from this
deeper soil beueath, all the elements
so essential to the development of
cereals, and which they unaided are
so powerless to secure, explains why
clover is such an excellent prepara
tive for a wheat crop. .Much of the
lienefit is secured by what the scythe
leaves, viz.: the clover stubble and
roots;, but when the whole crop is
buried in the soil, the effect is aston
ishing.
I sow clover seed, after the soil
has fairly settled and in good order
to work, because I think the proper
time to sow any seed or grain is
when the season and the soil are in
the proper condition to germinate
the seed and give it a good, healthy
growth. 1 have no fear of frost kill
ing young clover, at least in the
sense that it kills beans or corn. 1
have known heavy frosts and freez
ing to raise it out of the ground
when the plants were just fairly up.
I once sowed a field of clover very
early, and favorable weather followed
so that the plants were up nicely,
and a heavy frost and freeze raised
the young plants up from three quar
ters to one inch, and after it thawed
out the young plants lay tint on the
ground, exposing their roots as above
stated. Hut a shower of rain and
favorable weather afterwards saved
suflicient of the plants to make a fair
stand ; but none were killed by the
frost other than by raising it out of
the ground, and I yet have to learn |
that frost will kill young clover in j
any other way. I have often exam
ined the young clover after severe i
frosts and never saw any frost bitten.
It has been the rule with many to
sow clover seed in the snow in Feb
ruary. The reason given for it is,
that when the snow thaws the seed
will sink into the ground enough to
secure growth. The practice is l>orn
of laziness, and not founded on good
reasoning and is wasteful. This
practice is followed by many failures
to get a stand. Should there be no
failure, however, the chances are in
favor of an early start, and that the
plants will be well advanced, so as
not to be killed out by the summer
heat and drouth. Every clover raiser
knows, though, that the most criticsl
period of the clover plant is just after
germination. If then a freeze comes,
the clover crop Is a failure. We
used to follow the custom of our
fathers in this matter, but after two
failures in three years we concluded
there must be a better way or a clover
crop was a most uncertain quantity?
Since adopting oar present time
and manner of sowing we have never
failed on a clover crop. We never
sow before the 10th or middle of
April. By deferring until that time
we avoid, first, the probability of a
freeze at the critical point in the life
of the clover plant. Uy that time
ttio wheat and barley land is ready
for the harrow. After it has been
well harrowed we have a nice seed
lied of fresh, mellow ground for the
clover and timothy seed, which we
sow together for pasture or bay-. On
this fresh seed bed we get a prompt,
even, vigorous growth, and we find
that by the last of May our clover is
as large and better rooted than that
sowed on the snow in February.
The clover comes up evenly if
sowed evenly. In the old way the
snow water might wash off a part of
the seed. In the new way one bush
el of seed to ten acres will give more
plants than one bushel to eight acres
in the old way. We have twice bar
rowed it in. We could see no differ
ence in the results. As to sowing
clover seed among tbe corn after the
last plowing, we should be glad to
hear from some one who has made
that a success. On good upland and
with a favorable fall it might sue
ceed well. On light soli, with a
gravel subsoil, the heat and drouth
of August and September would be
likely to finish the clover. If fall
sowing can be made A success among
corn, we have hero a cheap fertilizer
and easily appllad.
11 cows have warm, well ventilated,
roomy, clean quarter*, well lighted on
the south sido of the barn, they had
better be ajlowed to remain there
most of the time; though if confined
in a cold stable with a short supply of

cise and airing is doubtless a good
thing. If well cared for, L think cows
need but little exercise.
Catalogues, Reports, to., Received.
We are indebted to Secretary T. J. Kdipi
for a copy of the Third Annual Report of
the Pennsylvania Board of Agriculture.
Tho report i* long, covering nearly two
hundred and seventy-tlvn pages, and ex
ceedingly interesting. It not only gives
tho formal reports of all meetings held, by
the Board, but embraces a large number
of pupers prepured for and read before the
Board by its member* and by others from
diflercnt parts of the country who are emi
nent a* specialists in the matter* of which
they treat. At tho clo*e of hi* formal
report Mr. Edge *ay* :
In concluding this report we make use
of tho opportunity to cull your attention
to a few of tho proof* of the increased
value of our work a* shown by changes
since our first meeting, held February 1,
1877.
Then but fourteen county societies were
represented in our Board ; now thirty-two
are represented by member* who have at
heart the interest which they repreacnt.
Then a programme for future action was
prepared, but much was left for the devel
opment of the future. Now we have its
development, and a vista of new work open
ed which seeint limitless. Then none were
present but mem her* elect; now our local
and district meetings are attended by hun
dreds. Then there was no central office to
which our farmers could address letters of
now these letters come from
every county in the Commonwealth, num
bering hundreds monthly, and occupy no
•mall partof tho time of the Secretary in
their answer ; and though seemingly in
significant when considered as integers,
yet when taken ns a whole form a very
important part of thp work of the Itoerd.
Then the live stock of the Hlate was at the
mercy of an epidemic or endemic disease !
which might break out among them ; now j
any such outbreak is at once reported by ;
some of tho three hundred and fifty official j
reporter* named by your members, and a
competent veterinary surgeon is at once I
sent to the locality, and by this action j
alone thousands of dollars' worth of live
stock have been saved. Then no systemat
ic means was afforded for the analyst* of
lh. fertilizers in use among our farmers ;,
now without any ex|>cn*e to the State a
legal enactment makes a regular series of '
analysis possible and efficient; and by !
raising the average standard of this clu.s
of goods, and keeping fraudulent hands I
out of the market, will save to ourfarni'-r*
many times the cost of the Board each ,
year.
F. M. Hexamer, of Ivy-Hill Nurseries

Seeding Clover with Spring Grain. -
Many farmers have an idea that
clover should be sown only upon fall
sown wheat or rye. I have seen
equally good catches when sown with
oats, spring wheat or barley. When
intending to seed with spring grain a
leas quantity of the grain should be
sown, and if the ground is mellow
; sow the clover and go over with a
Thomas or brush harrow after drill
ing. If in a buckwheat-growing sec
tion sow the clover on previous to
the last harrowing, and as the buck
wheat will afford the young clover a
good shade from the heat of the sun
its growth will be rapid and aatia
factory.
"Tuic gist of scientific dissertations
upon manures may be formulated to
this : Plants that are grown for their
leaves, as cabbage, rhubarb, etc.,
should be fed with an abundance of
nitrogenous manures, such as is fur
nished by the barnyard. Plants
grown for their seeds, as peas, beans,
etc., are injured by this class of ma
nures, which causes them to rnn too
much to vine. Tbey should be sup
plied with mineral manures, such as
wood-ashes bone-dust, etc."—Garden
