At an entertainment in Dublin a thought resder boasted that be could find a marked pin hidden by one of the audience.

There is some reason for believing that there is too much neg- lect in keeping abundance of humus in the soil, especially where the soils are of the character of that employed in this experiment.

All the clovers are richer in nitroge pous matter than any of the grasses. [It follows therefore that they make an especially rich manure. Clover alone makes a richer manure than will timo thy hay and corn. Clover is also rich in pineral fertilizers t is a lime plant, and for thig reason some of it cut up fine is excellent for laying fowls. 1t has been calculated that the manure made from feeding a ton of clover hay is worth §6 to $8 on the farm. It will cost as much as this to replace it froin city stables where the manure bas to be purchased and drawn any oonsiderable distance Clover should always be fed upon the farm. It brings less than any other and is better food for cows than bay of the grasses Some clover hay should always be given tocows that have corn ensilage as the Jarger part of their ration.
