rlnwlug Young. Clover.
It is always a mistake to plow the
clover seeded a year ago nuleRS it is
late enough for tho plant to get into
blossom. There is little plant food iu
the early watery growth. It lacks nu
tritive value also, as is shown by its
rejection by all kinds of farm stock.
It is possible that by delaying plowing
until nearly June the clover will begin
to head out then, anil it may be plowed
under in time for a late crop of pota
toes. But that is wasteful of the
clover, as its lnnutirial value after be
ing cut and fed is very nearly as great
as that of tho green herbage. It also
wastefertility, for after the clover is
cut its second growth develops soil
fertility much more rapidly than did
the first. This leaves, to make the
most of the clover, only the olternative
of cutting two crops of clover the sec
ond year of growth, and plowing tho
stubble iu spring for corn or potato
ground, as is the general practice
among the best farmers.
flood Itoacln.
It is now becoming evident that the
farmers and others interested are be
ginning to move in the right direction
to secure for themselves good roads.
In some States, especially the newer
ones, in order to guard against ap
propriations by their State Legisla
tures to railroads and other internal
improvements which may have ouly a
local value, the constitutions are
framed to prohibit expenditures for
such purposes.
In isconsiu the prohibition seems
to include public roads of all kinds.
It is now proposed by some of the As-
Bemlilymen, iu order to meet the needs
and demands of the farmers and others
for good roads, to have the Constitu
tion of the State so altered as to make
an exception iu tho prohibition of
State expenditures iu favor of "wagon
roads designed to be used for free pnb-
ho travel.
If this change should be made it will
allow State appropriations for this pur
pose, which will no doubt inaugurate a
new system of road making in this
State, that will, if wisely adjusted, soon
lead to constructing good roads where
in the citizens are willing to join iu
helping to bear the expense.
New Jersey has tried the plan of aid
ing in the building of roads when peti
tioned by tho property holders along
and adjacent to tho road to be built,
these paying ten per cent, of the cost,
aud the State the larger part of the re-
mainuer, tne county being taxed for a
small portion. This legislation is in
the right direction, and although it
may not be fixed on any fast lines by a
statute applicable everywhere, yet it
may be so modified by other States as
to suit circumstances so that farmers
may alwaj-B expect State and county
assistance iu their earnest efforts to
make good roads.
It is said that tho farmers in New
Jersey are enthusiastic iu favor of ex
tending this system, which has been
so successful iu their own State.
In this connection it should be re
membered that the cost of building
roads has been greatly reduced from
what it once was, aud from what it
would be to the farmers if they should
undertake it alone. Machinery for
digging, for scraping aud for placing
the dirt for the road bed in place has
been invented which works like a
charm, under the operation of steam
or horse power. Besides stone crush
ers aud methods of handling the
crused Btoue have made all this work
easy.
Finally steam rollers have been con
structed and successfully used, which
will make the road solid and ready for
use in a few days, leaving it as smooth
as a race ground. All this machinery
cun bo secured by the State or county
at a comparatively small cost, and will
enable them to build good roads at a
fraction of what it would cost without
their use. With State or county
ownership, these indispensable helps
can be used anywhere.
Tho ball seems to be starting to roll
iu the right direction; let each ruie in
favor of good roads help to push, and
it will soon roll over the w hole coun
try and leave good roads everywhere
in its track.
It will be worth many millions of
gold aud silver to us as a people to have
good wagon roads everywhere over the
country.
Iu some counties of Northern Ala
bama, aud iu North Carolina where
good roads have been made, farmers
now haul ten bules of cotton with the
same team aud with less trouble than
they could haul two bales before the
roans were improveil. Their voice is
now for good roads, aud so it will be
everywhere where a change has been
made iu tho right direction. Farm

Ill making home gardens in the
yards of the city houses or iu the
grounds of the suburban houses the
first thing to do is to prepare the earth
wnere tne seeils, bulbs aud potted
plants are to be planted.
The city yard is so bhuped that it is
always laid out iu borders round the
centre grass plot aud iu narrow beds
running round the yard against the
fence. All these beds should be filled
to the depth of a foot with good earth.
hat is kuuwu as a rich garden mould
is the best, reoplo make a great nns
take in thinking any earth is good
enough for grass. You want as rich
soil as for pluuts. Huve the loam well
sodded and seeded and rolled. Keep
tne grass well watered. Muv, from
the first to the last, is a good month to
sod aud seed the grass plot. The first
week in April is the time to get the
earth ready. Phosphates aud other
uoniposts bhould be freely used, ltoses
require strong fertilizers. All the
aui th in flow er gardens should be light
aud friable, so the water will filter
through easily.
After the earth is all fertilized,
spaded, mellowed and raked it must
lie exposed to the influence of the sun
ami air till it is thoroughly warm be
fore the seed are pluuted. If seeds
are put in before tho first of May they
are apt to decay and not germinate.
Sweet peas should be planted first,
and they may be put iu if the weather
is very warm in tho latter part of
April. Seasons vary in this climate,
and ono vcar seeds will germinate if
planted as early as the middle of April,
but it is always safe to wait till the
first of May.
In vards surrounded by high walls
and where the modem extension is
built, where tho sun gets little chance,
tho best plants for borders are bego
nias, fuchias and ferns. It is better to
buy these plants potted, as they de
velop quicker. Remove them from
the pots, dig a hole in the earth and
set them in in tho early evening. Do
not pack the earth too tight rouud
them. Water them well. If these
plants do not blossom their foliage is
decorative and luxuriant.
There is not much use in trying to
grow tlowering vines on I lie walls or
fences of city houses. For walls,
fences and racks, where there is suffi
cient light and air, the best hardy
vines are clitnbiug roses, honeysuckles
and tho different varieties of clematis
and convolvulus.
Plants to bo grown from seeds which
are prolific in flower are the mignon
ette, portnlacea, candy tuft and sweet
alyssum. These are suitable for both
city and country gardens, aud the
seeds should be put in early in May.
Later in May, or the first of Jnne,
plant balsam seeds, then plant them
successively for two or three weeks;
then yon will have blossoms all the
time. Verbenas, heliotrope, monthly
roses, geraniums aud pansies are all
desirable flowering plants for home
gardens, and it is best to put them in
as small potted plants instead of seeds.
May is the month for planting them.
Select pansies with a view to making
an artistic color display. Nothing is
more beautiful in a garden than a bed
of tastefully-arranged pausies.
Salvia is a lovely garden plant, a lux
uriant grower and flowerer. It may be
raised from seed or plants; the best re
sults are from small, sturdy plants.
Set them out late iu May. Set ont
verbena plauts in the middle of May.
Select them with a view to color, so
the variety may be as large as possi
ble. Bulbs of gladiolus and tuberoses may
be plauted in succession from the
middle of May to the firRt of August.
The first year you plant your gar
den watch closely conditions and re
sults. Tho plants which grow the best
should be renewed the following year.
If a certain plant docs not grow well
in one part of your garden, try it in
another next year. City gardens need
more frequent watering than suburban
ones, as the soil is not so deep. Add
fresh composts when needed to keep
out the weeds. Turn up the earth
lightly round the roots often and the
result will be sturdy aud countless
blossoms. Gilmore Clurke, Florist, in
New York Journal.

Failure of Aluminum,
After various investigations and
tests of aluminum for mechanical pur
poses, says the Engineering Magazine,
aluminum bronze it found useless for
bearings, valves, etc., ou account of
the rapid wearing away, but bus proved
useful for various pans of machines
where friction is not an important fac
tor, and also of course, where light
weight is uu object. Furniture made of
this materiul shows decidedly too lit
tle reistatice, requiring ulso frequent
repainting. Aluminum exhibits, fur
t ei niMi , but slight resistance to sea
water, thus making it useless for the
walls of vessels. It is believed, how
ever, that a ten per cent, aluminum
bronze Htauds a fair chance of being
employed somewhut freely as soon as
the price of the urticls can be reduced
sufficiently to approach the value ol
cast steel.
HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
Brightening Carpet.
When a carpet comes to be laid
afresh, the colors are apt to look some
what dingy and certainly not so bright
as was expected. To remedy this use
a pailful of warm water containing two
or three tablespoonfnls of household
ammonia and a soft flannel aud two
soft cloths for rubbing the carpet dry
Bfter it has been washed with the first
flannel and water. This treatment
will, when the carpet is quite dry, bo
found to give a most effectual renova
tion. But it must be remembered
that certain greens will not bear am
monia; in such cases clear warm water
will freshen and help tho carpet very
much. New York Suu.
Preparing Chocolate.
In preparing chocolate a paste
should first bo made. The proportion
in making chocolate is one square of
chocolate to ono tablespoouful of hot
water. This is stirred smooth iu the
double boiler, chafing dish, or what
ever utensil is used for making it, and
then the milk or milk and water
added. Tho proportion of half water
to the chocolate, makes it more digesti
blo. Allow one cup or one-half pint
of liquid to tho square of chocolate.
Tho water is first added to" the paste
and well cooked. There is not the
oiliness to the chocolato, and it is
much more delicate if the milk is not
cooked after being poured in, but
merely allowed to become thoroughly
hot. No scum arises on the chocolato
when the paste is first made. The
paste is convenient. It can be mado
and kept on hand, packed in a small
china vessel, for two or three days,
aud used when desired. The choco
late should be well beaten with an egg
beater, the dish being placed on the
back of the ran go if convenient, before
serving. To give additional nourish
ment the white or the yolk of an egg,
well beaten, can be stirred into the
chocolate. New York Times.
The Choice of Floor Coverings.
For housewives of moderate means
with one servant, living iu a small
houso or apartments, rooms can be
kept clean with less labor if the floors
or margins of them are stained and
the contre covered with a rng, which
can bo lifted every few weeks aud
taken to the yard or roof aud shaken
and thoroughly brushed. A good
Smyrna rug will stand hard wear for
ten years longer than tho best carpet
will present a rospectable appearauce.
For bedrooms, whether for city or
country, it has long been conceded
that matting is the best, cheapest and
most sanitary and artistio substitute.
Good matting will give satisfaction for
throe years if turned once during that
time aud wiped once a month with a
cloth wrung ont of warm water con
taining a little soda.
It is more than possible, however,
that matting, which has so long held
the field, will bo superseded by a com
paratively new material called "floor
fibre." It is as flexible as the best
Chinese matting, is neat and unob
trusive iu design, comes iu many soft
colors, and can be sewed together and
bound like carpet. It forms one of
the best backgrounds for rugs, and, it
is said, will be largely used for dadoes
as well as for ceiliugs. For hammock,
floor aud piazza cushions it is cool,
durable and unrivalled from any point

think, on thochaii'Te In tho popular estimate
of drinking. While there is still a great
consumption of ardent spirits, ani a fairly
good patronngc of the numerous "drunk
cures" with which tho country Is dotted.
It certainly is not as fashionable as It was
twenty years ago to drink to excess. Dur
ing the war and for some venrs thereafter
it was scarcely considered disreputablo for
gentleman to get drunk on occasion; but
it certainly Is so considered now. Wo find
this view of tho matter Indorsed, substan
tially, by the Uoston Transcript which re
produces most of the Grocer's article and
days:
"Hard times mny have a slight-effect
upon the drinking habits of the people and
there are things, notably the bicycle, which
axert a beneficent Influence; but we believe
flint the habits of the people aro vastly im
proved upon what they were only a few
years ago, and Immensely better than they
were twenty-live or thirty years ago. The
fact Is, as it scorns to us, that tho trend of
sentiment nnd of practice Is toward absten
tion from Intoxicants. There Is still liquor
enough and more than enough drunk by
our people, but it is as nothing to what
they used to Imbibe."
The Cuute of Untold Misery.
The stream of horrible profits which
drunkards pour into tho enormous reser
voir of the drink trade is a stream swollen
by untold misery to the innocent, and a
Stream which everywhere leaves the slimo
Of Its overflow over devastated areas of so
ciety. Hut, apart from drunkenness and
all Its ruinous iucubus upon the well-being
of tho country, the amount of hopeless
waste caused by the drinking habits of our
poorer population is tho main cause of
fiauperism aud demoralization with which,
or so many weary years, the best liavo
atmggled lii valu. If there were no other
and deeper grounds for temperance efforts,
they would be amptly justified by the lin
mense prosperity which tho working classes
might achieve for themselves if they would
divert into the channels ot useful trade the
vastness of wealth amounting, according
to some calculations, to .(30,000,000 a year
which they spend on an article of eon
sumption which Is not good but a needless
stimulant, and which even In measures
that are deemed moderate is to large
multitudes of men a source not of strength,
but of weakness; not of health, but of
widespread anguish and disease. Canon

Iii the "cheeso regions" of Switzer
land it is tho custom to present to a
newly married couple a "register
cheese." On this cheese the whole
history of the family is carved, such
as births, marriages, deaths and other
incidents which it may be desired to
make matters of record. Some of these
old Swiss family cheese records are
said to date back to the middle of the
seventeenth century. At the agricul
tural fair annually held at Oressenay a
prent. many cheese records have been
exhibited which were known to be
from 180 to 200 years old. The oldest
