Time to Sow Ci.ovk.r.—There can lie
no iron-clad rulo for sowing clover seed.
Wo hove sown in February, March,
April and Wny. AtnUflirTOV, when laying
by corn, and wc have good sneoees in nil
these months, except in July, Vnlcss
tho fall i« more than ordinarily damp,
clover will not do well sown t hen. I ’lover
sown as noon as hard freezing is |*nst is
sown nt the right time, licit February,
March or April. Wo can not know cer
tainly when that time is. We have to go
by our judgment. Clover is easily killed
ifter it has germinated,
iger from early sowing.
On the other hnml, if ono always waits
until after tho 10th of April, when freezes
are generally post, ue may nave tus j
clovof burnt np in August, especially if j
ho lias sown among wheat or onts, which
come off tho ground Inter, exposing the j
teudnr clover smhlouly to nu intense
lioat. Our experience is that clover seed
sown oh early in the spring ns the ground
will pulverize nicely under the harrow, I
will lie the most certain crop. We usually
harrow the grain in early April, and sow
clover and timothy and orchard gross .on
a fresh seed lied, ami have a choice stnuo
that was never yet burned out We have
sown in March and February, on the
snow, nud seen it go off with a heavy
rain, aud the seed was washed away, or
into low places, and the clover stand was
irregular and most unsatisfactory. We
depend *0 largely on clover for pasture
and change of crop and rednufcration,
•YtoitMi* cithTnyKtforiTtR mnko'a failure.
Wo have thought it would be a more sure
way to sow ono way lightly in February
on a snow. Then about tho first week
in April, it the spring seems advanced,
cross sow it. Iu this case we would use
aliout two quarts to the acre at each
sowing. There is not much dauger of
seeding it too heavily. If ono aiming
hits we hnvo a crop, if both hit we have
an extra crop.—(’ineinnati Commercial.

Many farmers injure their farm, imple
ments more bv expoenro to the weather
than by the use on the farm. An imple
ment which with good care would last
twenty years, will, when exposed to tho
weather, become useless in five years or
even less. A farm cart which, with good
usage, would last almost a lifetime, will
ouly a few years, wlgpi exposed to tho
weather. The explanation of the reason
why turning does not pay with money is
found iu this neglect to take core of the
farm tools. All farm implements are
costly, and the farmer w ho has to buy
three or four times as many as liis
neigh bore because he docs not take caro
of them, of course will not find much
profit in farming. Tho same carelessness
in any other kind of husiuevs, would in
sure equally as disastrous results.

A Tunnel Through Gray’s Peak.
“ The grandest mining enterprise ever
projected iu Colorado” is to cut a tuuuel
at an altitude of 10,000feet “clear through
tho baokboue of the American continent,
os you would punch a hole through a
potato." The Leadville paper which
thus begins to tell about the project adds:
“The high range of mountains over
which tho cold, barren apex of Grays
Peak stands in its massive majesty is the
backbone of the American continent.
The Atlantic-Paeifio tunnel will cut clear
through this range, a distance of over
26,000 feet, about 4 8-9 niilos, all the
way crossing heavy veins of silver 010,
cutting them at right uuglea."

“ To povr oil ou the troubled waters,"
is a proverbial expression signifying to
restore peace and harmony where strife

ed on 11 popular belief that oil will in

Tin: Gulf stream receives its liamo
from the fact that, it was long supposed
to originate in the Gulf of Mexico. Ac
cording to Humboldt, it receives its first

northward, nearly parallel to the Ameri
can coast,until it reaches Nova Scotia and
Newfoundland, where one brunch runs
downward toward tho Azores, while the
other flows northward toward tho
British islands and thence to tho Polar

Tin: word “Nihilist” is derived from
tiio Latin “ nihil,” meaning “ nothing.”
Perhaps the best definition of Nihilism,
