The two special fertilizers for clover
are lime and potash. When the land
ie occupied by wheat nee potash liber
ally, and the young clover must com
sate with the wheat (a securing a sup
ply. Tbe first growth of tb. clover
after it is seeded I the most important,
for aa early start and rapid growth
places It more securely beyond the ia-
Jury of drought later ia tbe season.
Tbe food ssost . suitable for young
"lover should be that which is soluble,
so as to enable tbe young pleats to lev
avsdlataly pse it. Lime, ' therefore,
should be applied fa a form that Is
sol able, keace pUster answers the pur
pose. Wood ashes provide potoab
ready for tbe raia to 'dissolve it. If,
them, aa application of 100 poands of
piaster aad 600 poands wood ashes be
spplied o. aa acre, tb. mixture will
greatly aid the young clover, as well i
as assist the growing wheat to push

this Is a pertinent subject for discussion,
end we give the views asd experience
of Prof. Roberts, of Cornell University,
who thinks it pays to grow roots to
feed stock. Hs rays It needs a rich,
mellow soil, well cultivated, so as to
make a proper seed bed. Last year ne
grew a crop of about three quarters oi
an acre of beets. Making liberal al
lowaoce for erpeaditores of all kiods,
be finds tb. cost to bare beea 970M

cause, If put ia at a later time, tbe
ground ia liabl to be so dry as to great

season was vary wet, and so favorable

- The Lee Aialaa.
Harper's Weekly, in an article oa
the eauestrian statu, of Oen. R. E.
Lee, which is to be unveiled in Rich'
mond, Ya., on the 20th of May, says
"The horse which Lee bestrides in
Morale's statu has all four feet on tb
ground, but Is in the act of walking
slowly. A fore foot is planted In ad
vanoe, and the hind foot on tbe s.tm
aid is about to follow suit, but has not
yet entirely quitted the ground. ' The
head is bent a little to one aide, and the
tail just swings clear of the flanks. The
General's dress is simple to severity,
characteristic found among tbe com'
menders on both sides, who commonly
avoided tbe trappings and pomp of
war. He is girt with a sash and wear
tbs ssrord of a commander of cavalry
No epaulettes appear, but tbe coat
aleeve bears on the forearm an orna
ment In broad braid. He holds bis bat
in the right hand hanging by bis side
and tbe reins in tbe left. Tb feet are
tipped into tb stirrups, and are not
perfectly oo a line, tb right foot being
lightly in advance. Calmness and de
termination are shown in tbe bearded
face. He seems to be reviewing bis
troops, and we may seppose that tha
moment chosen is that In which he ex
amined tbe Army of Northern Virgin
ia before pressing onward to eta fate
at Gettysburg. There is great repose
In this statue, but of dullness or heavi
ness not a trace. The horse is not
alive, yet ba the minimum of liveli
ness. Tbe figure is posed . easily and
naturally, without that grip of tbs
knees which horsemen talk about, but
