BT JUDGE ISAAC H, CXRI8TIAN. , ,
A word, if joo please, about clover'aod
howtoget fnd. It is everywhere
cfDceded that the cheapest manure is
clover with plaster, where gypsnm is not
bundant in tee soil. Bat we hear it of.
Md "It ukos ROod ,and 10 8row clo
ser," 4o. Now this is so if you seed it
D w beat or oats. It is smothered aod
tr0gg!es for eziateno in the first
BjODibB.tnd the weeds aod grass start
ifter the wheat or oats with equal ohaoca
witb the yooDg clover, and thus .we. wait
eighteen montbafor the olorer to mature.
jf0w clover will grow; as well on poor
lnd, cot too light, aa wheaT'Or Oats, if it
U ntlt oa the , laod itQi; Itself aad -will
- makft its full growth in lit Same fmTas
wheat. It will grow as well; after earn
,gwbeat will. Bat it will not, " on any
bat rich land, grow after wheat, follow,
ing earn, for two reasons The corn and
wbeat (xhaost the laud, end 1 the wheat
crowds out the clover. . - (
What's the remedy, then ? Seed the
clover in the corn on the fresb land after
lyicg by tbe corn. It oatches oertaiu,
od, shaded by the corn, grows off at
once. .'
It is thus seeded is tbe "West, but I
- bare not seen it dona in this seotioD ex
cept by myself. I seeded five acres in
my corn last July, and that five acres is
tbe only clover I have seen tbia spring,
and it ia a good stand; is far in advance
of tbe whtatnear it, and will mature
for the snmmer fallow. The land is
poor; I have do other sort, bat I expect
b right good fallow from the five acres
Tbe oorostalks will have fallen down, or
o&n be plowed in with the olover, and
tbe land being friable, rested and clean,
ODght to make a crop of wheat.
By this method yoa save the oatting
iod carrying off corn for wheat with
doabtful chance, except on very rich
laud, of making any, and still more
doubtful chance of making any olover
after it. This would work under the
four-field system after started. Two
fields would be in clover, one in oof n, and
ooe in wbeat,
I see from one of the Agricultural Re
ports, 1869, I think, that at an agricultu
ral dab meeting in Ohio they called op
an old man by the name of Jones for a
ipeeob, aDd asked bim to tell them how
be made himself rich. He answered:
"By attending to my own business."
"Well, now, tell us bow yon made your
laodncb?" 'Oh," said be, "that's easy
enough clover and plaster. I pat all
the manure I can get on my corn field.
I teed clover in tbe '' corn at laying by,
aod fallow it tbe following, cummer. The
plhgter ia put in tbe corn-field before tbe
clover, sod that's the way 1 made my
laod rich. I have never failed to get a
itaod."
This ia nearly what he said, and it im
pressed me that I ought to profit by it.
The result was a little experiment, and
now where I seeded thirty acres in clo
ver in the usual way last spring, after
wbeat, I have not one spire that I see,
and tbe five acres seeded in the corn is
growing, even in this baokward season.
It is true that the laBt was an exception
ally bad Beason on young clover, but
this often occurs, and a farmer cannot
afford to lose one olover fallow, for it is
tbe loss of a crop of wheat.
Ooe other thought in this conneotior-
Farmers in Eastern Virginia cannot af
ford to cut down and carry off trortt for
wbeat, for by the time tbev Jo it it is
too late to pat in the - wAeat to make a
fall crop, but thej console themselves
that it prepares for olover. Well, how
about tbe clover that follows t U it not
tbreo times in seven a failure? Iam
not much of a farmer; it is not my trade,
bit I lore to read about itaod talk
about it. See what I saved by-reading
what air Uorton Haxallsaid about wheat
chaff in the "Planter and Farmer" in
logttst last, I think. He advised the
avicg of the wbeat Chaff, bearded ai
well as smooth. Well, I took : tbe hint,
put mine all away in a house,' Jand have
Dearly fed it all away to stock lof all sort,
and find it just as good as sbucka. Sol
aayed that much feed in the long hard
winter by reading. So! somebody may
be profiled by my talk about clover.

LIMIT YOVR CHOPS.
As the time fof planting and sowing is
at. hand, we wish again to oantion' a class
of farmers who bave large farms, against
tbe temptation to put more acres in plowed
crops that can be got in season, and 1 calti
vated while growing, or if tbe soil is thin
plowing and planting more laud than can
he pnperly manured to insure a fall return
for labor expended. This kind of enter
priie and industry is not directed by good
judgment. A small acreage well cultivated
and planted in proper season yields more
bushels tban a much larger extent badly
Prepared, planted out of season, and but
indifferently cultivated while tbe crops are
growing, in one ease the farmer drives
hia work aud makes a profit; inT tbe other
tbe Work drives bim, bis yield is generally
poor, and be can scarce make both ends

then they may be ploughed under in June
and after allowing euffioient time to

other crop may be sown, which may be
either ploughed under in the fall or al
lowed to lie upon the ground. I do not
know of any better forage crop for stock
of all kinds tban pea hay properly cUred
and properly prepared for stock food ;
and even where the hay is cut, only leav
ing the roots to fertilize the soil great
improvement results. Where peas are
sown for the purpose of hay, it is desira
ble, I think, to mix with them corn or
millet. These give a support to the
trailing pea vines and improve the quali

DOES FARMING PA Yt AND IF NOT,
WHY NOT
Farmer'a Monthly:
One ot your intelligent correspondents
proposes the above very important ques
tions for discussion in your col a man, and
band and l eooald take tbe qaatioas ia
eery readernveetigate them very closelj
q o til be is inlly posted in regard to every
thing, both direct and indirect, that has a
bearing on tbe subject. Tbe farmers of
tbis section, witb very few exceptions, bave
not succeeded well since tbe war, aud there
are several reasons why they bave not. Id
tbe first place, they bad no money to oper
ate witb at the cloBe of tbe war, and were
compelled to boy. on time, with no voice in
tbe matter as to terms, consequently they
bave bad to- pay such high prices that a
bare living is about all they oan get out of
the year's operations; whilst tbe merchants,
lawyers, dootore, te, ar making it pay
tbem on a grand scale. Tbia state of things
made large crops of cotton necessary,
which caused tbe farmers to -neglect other
erops, with tbe hope of making enough
cotton to get out of debt once more, but
which very few have succeeded in doing,
and tbey are generally about as helpless
they were at tbe close of the war, and it is
quite common to bear them say, "Farming
don't pay." Bat it doee paji though
owing to tbe dependent positions the farm
ers occupy, tbey do no get" their just share
of the proceeds. J 18 d fficult for farmers
to extricate tboelves from this deplorable
condition, bdt close application to business,
scient)3 d systematic management, and
tr strietest economy, will relieve them
Ooe of tbe greatest obstacles to success, in a
large msjanty of eases, is tbe lack of
information on tbe part of the farmers,
very few of whom avail themselves of tbe
teachings of good agricultural publica
tions, and are unfortunately ignorant of
tbe fact tbat tbey stand in . need of any
further information in relation Fo their
occupation. It will require a long time
to remove tbis obstacle, and tbe main re
nance is tbe present readers of such pub
lications, who, by tbe proper effort, migbt,
in tbe course of time, bring their unfor
tunate friends to a knowledge of tbe worth
of good agricultural publications, and in-
duoe them to become subscribers. If
every reader of good agricultural journals
would enlist in tbis work la good earnest,
and religiously perform bis whole duty
towards nis nnfortunate brethren, mucn
good would be accomplished without ma
terial cost to any one . it is often truly
said tbat agriculture is tbe most honora
ble occupation, but at present the remark
is not applicable to a large majority of
those engaged in the oecupation. IS very
member of tbe agricultural fraternity
ought to exert himself to tbe utmost to
elevate those who are engaged in this
honorable occupation to the honorable
position wbien tbey ought to occupy, aod
tbsre is no better way to accomplish tbis
desirable objtet tban that of placing good
agricultural publications into tbe bands of
farmers generally. H M Zellmeb.

Rimidt fob Cabbaob Wokms Cut This
Oct. Of all tbe many remedies that bave
been tried for tbe imported cabbage worm
since it first began to spread over tbe
o inntry and to play havoc with our cabbage
fields, says tbe American Entomologist, few,
if any, bave given entire satisfaction. It is
safe to say tbat the most satisfactory
remedy so 1 far discovered is in the use of
pyrethruna. We were tbe first to apply
tbis iu 1879, but did not care to recommend
it until further experiment bad been made.
These we made the present year, and
caused to be made by a number of oor
agents and correspondents. Tbe general
experience is most favorable, and we un
hesitatingly recommend it for all the differ
ent worms affecting tbe leaves of our cab
bage plants.

Wx take the following extract onMcorn
culture," from the Planter end Farmer.
It shows the great advantage in careful
selection of seed. It was written by one
of Virginia's progressive farmers:
"About twenty-five, years ago I oom
caenced to pick out a small quantity of
the best ears of corn when housing.
The corn thus selected was planted to
itself, and bad a better yield than the rest
of the field. Every year since I have been
saving more each year, picking out when
the corn was busked, aod spreading it
in a large barn loft until spring, when it
is sent to filt orders in many States. I
bave sometimes saved from 400 to 500
bushels, and than n Ti nt. Annnln a W .-A

years I have had 285 ears to make a bar
rel The corn is white, flinty, and
weighs over 56 pounds to tbe bushel .
M.y farm is rolliog upland."
Says the Columbia .Register: "The
amount of corn and hay brought to this
State from other States for consumption
here would astonish a great many people
if tbe whole amount could be ascertained:
M.r Gibson, who has a mill constantly
running in thisity, taking the last two
months as a basis, will handle 280 000
bushels of corn tMs year, a largo part of
which be grinds for bis oustomers.and all
of which is brought from other States and
used in this StTate. He has also brought
into the State already this year thirty
carloads ot hay besides a large quantity
of wheat bran and other feed. Mesera
Lorick & Low ranee' s mill doubtless im

tbe smaller mills and dealers."
Colts ebonld be accustomed to tbe har
ness early in life. It well trained tbey will
never need "breaking." Gentleness and
kindness should always be shown a co'.t,
and tbey will be found better tamers of
horse flesh than whips and brutal treat
ment. In training a oAt one should show
bim what is wanted of bim, and if tbe
trainer fails in tbis be is to blame and not
tbe colt. It would be folly to abuse tbe
colt because be did not understand what
an ignorant traioer wanted bim to do.

can I?" she asked, "don't you see I'm basy
baking these pies?" "Well, you might say
Charley, won't you have a pie?' That
would be very funny for your.'-?' '.
Quarrels would be short-lived if the
wrong were only on one side.
Let us not forget tbat every station in life
is necessary; that each deserves our res
pect; that not the station itself but the
worthy fulfillment of its daties dees honor
to man.
Stories first heard at a mnthor' tno.
are never wholly forgotten, a little spring
mat never ones up on your j mrney through
scorching years.
It is as important that we should have
good books as tbat we shonld keep good
company, as the one will make tha
other.
The Human Fiqurb. The height of the
human figure is six times the length of
the feet. Whether the form is slender or
plump, the rule holds good; and deviation
from it is a departure from the highest
beauty in proportion. The Greek m H a
all the statues aopording to this rals. The
lace, irom tne nigbeat point of the fore
head, where the hair begins, to tbe chin,
is one tenth of the whole stature. The
hand, from the wrist to the end of the
middle finger, is the same, from the top
of the ohest to tbe highest point of the
forehead is the seventh. If the faoe, from
tne roots oi tne nair to the chin, ba divi-
j - ' . Ymlw fcue -
vision aetermio.es tha nl&na hM tha
eyebrows meet, aod tbe seoond the
nostrils. The height from the feet to the
top of the head is the. distance batwaan
the extremities of the fiagara wlna the
arms are extended.
Pzbpitoal Pasti Dissolve a teaspoon
fal of alam ia a qaart of warm water.
When cold stir in as much fburaswill
give it the oonsisteooe of thick cream,
being particular to beat up tbe lumps; stir
in as muoh powdered resin as will lie on a
half-dime, and throw iu half a diziu olores
to give it a pleasant odor. Hve on the
fire a teaoup of boiling water ia a saitable
vessel, pour the fl jar mixture iato it, stir
ring well all tha tima. Ia a few minates
it will be of the consistence of porridge.
Pour it into aa earthen or china vessel, let
it eoolj.lay a cover on; aad put in a oaol
place. When needed for use take out a
portion, and soften with warm water.
Paste thus made qao be kept twelve
months. It is better than gum, as it doss
not glous the paper, and oan be written
on.
Oae of the best things ever tried for
keeping tins bright is water-lime. Tnis is
a soft, brown substance that polishes metals
without scratching the surface, and is vary
cheap. Also rub your tins with , a damp
oloth, then take dry flour and rub it on
with your hands, and afterward take an
old newspaper and rub the fl iur off, and
the tina will shine aa well aa if half an hour
had been spent in - rubbing them with
brickdust or powder. Another good thing
for brightening tinware is common soda.
Dampen a cloth and dip in soda and rub
tbe ware briskly, after which wipe drv. and
it will look eqaal to new To prevent the
rusting oi tin run iresn lard over every
part of the dish, and then pat in a hot oven
and heat it thoroughly! Tom treated any
tinware may be need in water constantly
aau remain orignt ana free irom mat.
