Growing Clover Seed.

Upon this subject, Birdsdale, ia his “C'!c
vor Leaf, sajs:—“It requires some skill in
growing clover for seed, to understand how
Lug to pasture and when to mow the first
crop. Of course the season has much to
d i with filling, yet the crup can b • materi
ally helped, if managed as it should be
The large kind, if saved for seed, can be
pastured till the 14th of June, and very
chir-e, then give it a ciat of piaster so as to
give it a good start. The medium or com
mon c-lover should be pasture 1 till the loth

ho sure and get. it oil' July 1st. Yo i can
then look for a good yield of seed, and if
later your crop will not pay for handling.
Hive it a coat of plaster, and you will find
it very beneficial, and particularly cn light
soil and if the season is dry. Be sure aud
keep your stock out of the clover saved for
seed, as they spoil the young plants. In
catting the seed do not let it stand till dead
ripe, as one third will rattle off aud he
wasted. Cut when the head is handsomely
brown and the stalk not quite dead, there
will then bo scarcely any waste, and the
seed just as plump. .Many people, in gath
ering elo.cr seed, waste at least one-fourth,
in allowing it to stand too long beiore cut-
ring it. But with mower or reaper—a
mower is preferable, attaching a drag apron,
and throw off in buches of medium size
and in winrows. Turn it over when the
dot: is on, so as not to rattle off the bolls.
When thoroughly dry you can thresh im
mediate !y or put it away where it will keep
dry, as damp clover is very difficult to hull,
and at the same time impossibV to get all
the bolls from the straw.
Stawberry Fertilizers.
The following receipe was first tried
years since with apparantly, high satisfac
tion. The growth was vigorous, the crop
abundant, and the berries large. It was,
therefore, very highly commended as fitted
to secure admirable results. Old beds,
under the treatment suggested, are said to
be even better than new. The proportions
are for a bed thirty by forty feet. Ujm-
mcnce using the fertilizer wh n the new
leaves are being put fotth, and apply it to
wards night three times, at intervals of a
week between each application. It -hould
im dissolved in thirty gallons of rain or
river water. Indeed, if'any be varied from
ibis, let the proportion of water be larger

ir of heaven, and the sun
xygen are there awaiting for
inver any dimunition of this
supply. There is oven room around it for
imuambered millions of its kindred plants
to grow and flourish. The air and the soil
ia liic nat iral growth of plants—that is to
say, where the crop ripens and dies on the
ground—are always giving and always r
oviving. Not a plaut. that decays but re-
-tores in its ashes, to the soil some portion
nl : hat which it bad received from it, wit i
i i.; lurther addition of what the plant had
I'runn Iron: the atmosphere.
It is different in the case of cultivated
..hints in their relation to thesoil The food
it i raws from thesoil is carried off in the
crop, and the soil become by so much the
Hirer. If this process is carried on year
aft- r vear the soil becomes exhausted of
fertilizing constituents, aud barrouue.-s en
sues. The deeper then that the roots of a
plant have power to penetrate the soil and
the greater freedom that it gives them to
extend through the soil laterally at the
creased depth, the more gradually will he
the process of exhaustion ia consequence of
the larger store of plant food thus reach
"fiho
tillage, deep plowing and sub-
-oiling arc therefore the sheet anchors of
good farming. By thorough tillage :he
soil is kept opcu to the influence of air aud
water, aud by deep plowing a .d subsnilin
the soil retaius a larger supply of moisture
that becomes available in dry seasons, while
the roo's thus find a larger supply of pi
food. Two things are therefore essential
to ho observed in good farming,
when the laud lies wet and cold, it should
he uiidcriraiued; uext, it should be deeply
plowed, and also sub-soil d when the und
soil is of such a character as to render it
beneficial.
Every farmer must be his own judgi
Lite necessity of underdraining. It will cost
but little to try the experiment where the
hind lies low and water either accumulates
on the surface or penetrates the hard soil
hut slowly. All such soils will yield three
fold by underdraining.
The advantages arising from judicious
uuderdraiiiiug are thus set forth by im old
and experienced writer on agriculture, and
in the views which he expresses we so he
lily concur that we reproduce them as
fitting close to this article :
1. Kemoving the water from the pores
admits the air, which is essential to growih
of the roots
2. The roots extend further and deeper
’into thesoil, get a firmer hold upon it, and
draw nourishment from a larger area
3. The air discomposes vegetable matter,
aud thus furnishes organic food for the
growing p’aut.
4. The air aud other grasses decompose
the earthy parts of the soil, and thus pro
vide new inorganic food.
5. The free circulation af air in the soil
carries in ammonia, and other fertilizing
substances to the roots of the plants.
0 The prcsouoo of water causes soils to
hake, :o as to render them hard to work,
and also to prevent the free growth ai d ex
pansion of the roots..
7. When all excess of water is reino.ed;
compact and clay soils become light aud
pulverized by working them.
S. The free excess of air renders poison
ous compounds of iron, magnese, etc., in
ert, and clover and other deep rooted crops
will not be killed, but they will continnc to
grow and flourish from year to year.
9. The depth to which the roots pene
trate in soils, freed from poisons and filled
with air, secures to the plant sufficient
moisture to withstand the surface effects-of
drouth.
10. In hot weather, the circulation of
warm, moist air through the open mouth
drains and the soil condenses moisture in
the cooler soil, and furnishes additional se
curity against drouth.
11. The air circulating in the soil, de
composes acids and. removes sourness.
12. The removal of the standing water
allows warmth, which cannot descend
t-her iuto the soil.
13. By causinpjthe water to descend in-
1 to the drains, instead of evaporating from
■ the surface, another chief source of cold
ness is removed.
14 Bains in descending through the
ground, carry the heat ol the atmosphere
with them, und thus warm the soil and
roots of plants.
15. Draining by rapidly removing the
water in the spring, and alter heavy rains,
and by warming the soil, is cquivolent to
lengthening (he season, and gives-a wider
range of cultivated plants, and a longer
time for plowing and working grouud
1G. Land freed from excess of moisture,
expands much less iu freezing, and the
roots of wheat, clover and other crops re
maining in the ground over winter, are not
destroyed by winter kill.
17. Water by sinking through the soil
into drains is prevented from washing the
surface into gullies, and from carrying away
into streams the rich soluble portions of
soil and manures.
These reasons we believe are sufficient to
induce farmers to inquire into the condition
of their soils, aud to try the experiment of
dra uing upon at least a small portion of
their wettest lands The experiment need
not he on a large scale. A single acre well
drained will suffice to show whether this
means cf improvement ni'y be profitably
extended.—Maryland Farina-.
For the Maryland Farmer.
Small Farms Best.
“ldang your pot upon your own hook,”
seems at this time to be the cardinal maxim
of t’-e American mind. Aristocracy aud
partnerships and consolidations in arts,
trades, cmntKcrce aud agriculture are be
ing swept away before the march of demo
cratic ideas. Partnerships have been tried
and found wanting; and again the old fash
ioned notion is beginning to prevail that
every tub upon its own bottom must stand.
Phis is eminently the case iu agriculture.
Big firms, big ships, big trades and big na
tions may all he well enough iu their place;
but big hums are utterly impracticable.—
Since all men have been made “free and
equal,” it is a disgrace to be servauts and
underlings. Hence the owners of big farms
who are rash enough to dare assert their
rights soon learn to sing
pic Cane. All the above kinds should be
planted either a’oug fence rows, or. far bet
ter, lay off a square plat expressly for them,
and plant them in rows six by five feet apart,
and three or four iu a hill; cutting thorn
down to a few inches of the groand when
planted. After the plants get np about
three feet high, nip off the top buds, and
they will throw out laterals, .which must
also be nipped when they are about 18 inch
es long.
The following spring, early, drive down
a stake near each stool, four feet loDg, and
tie up the cancs loosely to it. and clip off
any straggling vines; then plow your ‘patch’
nicely as you would so muoh corn, and as
often as you can before the leaves come
fully out. Your yield will average a quart
to the stake. If you have plenty of waste
straw (never nse hay,) it would greatly in
crease the quantity and quality of your
frnit if you would scatter it all over the
ground and under your vines, at the last
plowing, several inches deep. Don’t plow
within half a foot cf any of the vines.
For currants and gooseberries, get of the
former 50; half each of Red Dutch and
White Grape, and 20, half each of Hough
ton’s and Downing’s, and plant them four
or five feet apart, around your garden fence,
on a North or West line; keep them trim
med and mulched; and my word for it, your
family will feast right royally ou good things
from the middle of May until larger fruits
come to tempt the appetite, and luscious
melons freight the market stalls.

“We
uarclis of all we survey.
Our rights there’s none to dispute:
All around from the land to the sea.
We are lords of the fowl anil |the brute,”
Bat nar’ry a servant hath we!”
Yes, big farms are going, going, gene,
knocked down to the lowest bidder; cut up
into small plots, and sold eff like hot cakes
to live men whose maxim
“A little farm well tilled;
A little house well filled:
A little wife well willed.”
Thus the world moves on; and those who
“dance their own jig” upon their own
broad acres begin to s : ng, “ten acres
enough” “five acres too much,” “our farm
of four acres,” and, would you believe it,
some cry out, “two acres enough.” Well,
by and by some one will say that, “half an
acre is enough,” or a quarter of an aero is
enough,” till at last we shall fiud that it is
not worth while to have any laud at all!—
People will go to extremes. Few have the
good sense to hold fast “the golden mean.”
My advice is that auong the big farms,
and little farms, and no firms at all, you
take the little farms—those often, twenty
thirty or forty acres. Those huadred acre
farms are too much for one set of muscles
to cultivrte properly, rnd the halfarce farms
are most too small for the expansive geni
us of an active brain, too coufintd ratler,
lor good breathing room. My motto is
small firms and thor .ugh culture; diver
sified crop.-, securing home products and
home pleasures; time for recreation and so
cial enbiyments; a union of inter.sts : and
—a fig fir aristocracy and lordly estates.

Heglnnluir the Year.
A friend said to us the otiier day:—“Do
you know that I am beginning the year as
I never begau it before? I have made up
my mind neither to buy without paying,
nor sell without receiving, cash or its equiv
alent. Th' truth is, I fiud that trusting
other people eats up the profits, because I
lose a large per. cent., of what I trust. And
I fiud that what ever I buy, and get trusted
for, of a man who knows bis business, I
have to pay more than if 1 pay cash. So
the profits of my business go from me both
ways.”
This man has learned an important les
son. The drain upon a man who adopts
any other than a cash system iu his dealing,
is enormous. He may sell more, but be
gets less pay for what he sells, lie mav
secure more comforts about him by runmnu
iu debt; hut lie gets less comforts out of
them and pays more for what lie gets than
when be does without until he can pay cash
down. It is no benefit to a man to use
credit in the long run. It is pleasant to
possess credit; hut is always best to retain
it by not using it. It is most profitable to
dost). A cash paying customer always re
ceivcs ht-nefi s which aud equally responsi
ble nan who has an account cuneut does
not. Every through-going business man
acts upon the painciple that a bird iu the
baud is worth two on the bush. And this
is t ie sure principle. If a man has 1,000
bushels of corn which he can sell to a spec
ulator for $1,000, half cash and half credit,
it by no means follows that he had not bet-
sell fiir $750*cash. In the long ruu he will
make more money by the latter course. He
then takes no risk, has the cash to use, and
knows that lie has a sure foundation upon
which to base future operations.
It is a safe rule to adopt—neither to ask
nor give credit. —Rural New Yorker.
From the Home Fanner’s Journal,
flow to have Small Fruits.
No home is complete without a good gar
den—no garden is complete without small
fruit—such as strawberries, currants, and
oosebei ries. Nothing is more healthful
or delicious—coming, as they do, so soon
after the cold of winter, when the system
teeds a vegetable acid to revive the circu
lation of the blood and to cool th- human
frame. Their culture is so simple, and the
reward of your labor therein so certain and
speedy, that I often wonder why any one
who owns even a front door yard, will con
sent to be deprived of them; and I marvel
that man y who own hundreds of acres, will
often trust to the market gardener for their
supplies, rathe- than raise them at home.
If, therefore, you would supply your own
table from your owu grounds, procure about
1,000 strawberry plants; of the following
kinds: Say 250 each of Downer’s Prolific,
Wilson’s Albany, Green Prolific, and Chas.
Downing. Make your ground rich and
loose, aud set the plants two feet apart,
each way; just before they bloom, in early
April, or last of March, if the weather is
fair, cut eff every blossom the first y'ar, as
this will give all the strength to the plants.
Keep the soil rnelhw by frequent hoeing,
and every runner cut off, and early in De
cember throw over the entire bed—plants
and all—an inch dtep of long wheat or rye
straw, aud early the next spring rake the
straw from the crowns of the plants only,
and let <t remain round them until after
fruiting—at which time you must remove
the straw or spade it in, loosening np the
round and keeping down weeds and run
ners as before; and so on for two or three
years, when it will be found best to make a
new bed some where else, allowing the old
bed to be pnt in some root crop.
For raspberries, get about 50 or 75 each
of Finland, Philadelphia and Red Ant-
werps, of red kinds; all of which sucker a
good deal and grow from the stools, and for
black caps, get Doolittle, Mammouth Clns-
Frmt aud Floral Exhibition.
Would tint every town and county
throughout our broad domain took more
pride in these exhibitions. They have
benificidl effect on communities, teaching
them in most beautiful language of the ex
istcnce of an all wise Creator, and His
goodness to us:
Our people are too much taker up with
their wild chase after fortunes—they look
too much to the “will it pay in dollar and
cent system” to stop long enough to take
breath over Flora’s or Pomona’s beauties
and productions
AYe like such exhibitons if carried out
in the right spirit, as they t ud to biing
neighbors together in a social way, each
learning from the other new ideas, and
gathering information of new fruits and
flowers, and it always gives us pleasure to
read in any of oar exchanges descriptions
of snch gatherings. Let each one try and
do their part to make such a success and
to add to it all the show and beauty they
can. Make them attractive—a perfect
little paradise, and then coax those “dollar
and cent business men” in to “just take
one bok ”—The following we clip from
The Salem Observer, of Mass., as illustra
ting our idea of “fixing up:”
“The Hall was beatifully decorated with
garlands of evergreen, hanging baskets and
mottoes. On either side of the entrance
was a table, one bearing the name of “Flo
ra”'worked in flowers and everwreeD, the
other that of “Ceres,” appropriately
wrought in seed, grasses and grains. Op
posite the door was auother, which bore
the name of “Pomona,” curiously interwov
en with the smaller fruits - From the ccn
ter of the ceilinff, whence the ropes- of ev
ergreen started, hang a large evergreen
bell, and directly beneath this stood a lofty
circular stand, filled with wild flowers
whose apex nearly reched the bell. This
was one of the most beautiful sights and at
tracted much attention. Two long tables
ran down the hall, separated by the circa
lar stand, which were filled with choice
garden flowers. All around the room, in
and out of the cosy alcoves were arrmged
tables or rather one long winding table cov
ered with white cloth and bearing the
choicest specimens cf fruits and vegetables
as the representatives of many gardens in
and around our city. Great golden pears
set off the red cheeked apples; the peaehes
were beauties that needed do adoroiDg and
the many tinted varieties of grapes made a
picture worth looking at. One stand con
tributed by Mr. Upton, ofDanvers, deserv
ed and received especial attention In a
dish that was raised from the table were
grouped bunches of grapes of seven or
eight different varieties and as many colors:
around the centre dish was eight smaller
ones boldiog deep purple and delicate
green and white graps. Mr Plnmer eon
trihuted over twenty-five varieties, conmtCD
cing with the Rogers No. 4.
Around the stand in the centre oi the
hall were arranged bouquets and baskets
and pot plants, in the most systematic, sweet
confusion. Ouc bouqaet, sent by Mrs
Horner, contained one hundred and four
varieties of wild flowers.
At the entrance of each alcove stood a
table bearing either a choico boubuet or
basket of flowers, a fernery or a Wardian
case, groups of plants in pots or choico flow
ers which had been gathered front the gar
den. One tabic presented a display of
G1 dioli, which attracted much attention.
The whole appeannee of the Hall was a
most attractive OLe, look which way you
looked the vis'a that presented itself was
beautiful. The whole was so beautiful
that you hesitated before examining the
parts, and then yon found that the whole
wa= made up of its parts.
Clover and Grass Land,
If more of our iarm land were kept in
clover and grass than is usually the cose,
and a greater quantity of stock than is usu
ally the oase, we should not only hear less
frequently of the exhaustion of the soil
bat should feel tolerably certain that with
ordinarily good farming it was in a fair
way of yielding large crops of cereals an
nually on a smaller extent of land. It is
the manure that is made upon a farm that
constitutes the primary source of profit to
tho farmer. It is the rapid exhaustion of
farms and plantations by hoed crops, corn,
tobacco, &e —Dot only in consequence oi
the immense amount of phosphates which
they extract from the soil bnt also by reason
ol the exposure of the soil itself in its
light condition to washing rains and too ar
dent summer heat—which has thrown out
of cultivation in this and other of the older
States so many fields that were once fer
tile, bnt are n )w filled with sedge grass and
ragged and unsightly gullies aad ravines.
Soils in onr climate need to be kept cover
ed in clover and grass to ns great an ex
tent as is consistent with good husbandry.
They improve under the shade of clover,
because this dense covering prevents evap
oration, and becanso also the long tap roots
of this fine forage plant penetrate deep
down into the snbsoil where they rot and
famish aliment foo sncceeding cro :8. A
good crop of clover tnred in is equivalent
moreover to a good drressing cf barn-yard
manure, for it contains all the constituents
in which the cereals delight. Grass lands
for similar reasons when not too closely
cropped improve the soil, inasmuch as they
not only prevent .evaporation and add veg
etable matter to the soil by the decay of
their under leaves, bnt they also leave many
tons of vegetable matter to the nnder
soil by their close net work of fine fibrous
roots wheD the land is again brought under
the plough.
In renting our farms in England so well
is this understood that stipulations are en
tered into between the landlord and his
tenants with regard to the number of acres-
that shall be kept constantly in grass and
tho quantity of stock of various kinds that
shall be maintained on the farm. Nor is
this stock in itself unprofitable apart from
the addioional amount of manure which is
thus furnished. The dairy and the fatten
ing annually a greater or less number of
head of beef cattle, is more remunerative
provided the market be - not too far distant
than hay, soldoff the iarm;whilst the in
creased yield of the cereals—wheat, oats,
barley and rye—amply compensate for the
smaller amount of land that if bronght un
der the plough. By per persuing this sys
tem lands which were originally only of or-
dinarp fertility have been made to produce
remarkable heavy crops, and what we call
“exhaustion the soil,” is a term which
with them is only known theoretically.—

Messrs J. 8. Bones «t Co:—Bear Sirs:—I hare given
the 16 inch Mill (Coleman's) bought of you, a thorough test,
and can best express myself perfectly satisfied.
The Power applied was tie running gear of my Gin,
which, although in very bad order, was sufficient to grind
ONE BUSHEL of Gorn, (by the watch), in ELEVEN
MINUTES.
I find it no trouble to do all my grinding before breakfast.
Several of my neighbors were present at tho time, and alt
were perfectly satisfied with tho result, and astonished at
tLe quality of meal produced in so short a time. I prefer
the meal to any Steam Mill meal.
Respectfully yours,
U. H. MILLEP..
P. S.—The second 16 inch Mill I bought of you for the
Foster iarm, since the above was written, has been tested
and works *aa well, or better, than the first. It is a com
plete Mill.
