Clover as a Fertilizer.
The value of clover as a fertilizer is
not generally fully appreciated, Be
si: 1 0 s its great value in procuring ni
trogen from the air, it can by means of
its long roots penetrate deeply into the
earth, bring up potash and phosphoric
acid and other elements lying out of
the reach of the roots of our cereals.
Tliee elements, after a time, become
available by the decomposition of the
clover roots. It has been estimated
that the weight of the roots of clover
exceed the weight of that part of the
plant which grows above the surface.
Their decomposition consequently
adds a large amount of humus, or de
caying vegetable matter, which is es
pecially valuable in lightening and
loosing heavy soils and also enables
heat, light and air to penetrate the
earth and affords a means of drainage
for surplus surface water. It must
1,0 borne in miml that heat, light and
air are essential for the germination
and growth of all seeds, and that no
seed can germinate and grow in abso
lute darkness. This explains why
seeds will germinate at a greater depth
in loose than iu heavy and compact
soils.
Clover plowed under makes the soil
richer than it was before, but rye or
any other non-leguminous plant plowed
under only returns to the soil what
was taken away from it in the growth
of that plant. They have a beneficial
effect, however, in supplying humus to
the heavy soils. It has been estimated
that corn on clover sod xvill yield an
average of twenty bushels to the acre
more than on old land, for the first
crop, and fifteen bushels more to the
acre for the second crop. The order is
sometimes reversed, because of the
more thorough decomposition of the
clover roots the second year.—C. C.

Connecting Pump to Windmill.
It often happens that a farmer
wishes to operate a pump by wind
power when the pump is at a distance
from the windmill. Sometimes the
pump is at the foot of a hill, while the
mill must be placed at the top, or two
pumps could often be worked by one
windmill if there was any way of
transmitting motion from one to the
other. It is a matter of little trouble
and expense to construct an arrange
ment for this purpose. Get a black
''lnith to make the device shown at a,
which is to take the place of the usual
pump handle. The device, b, which is
¥ \ D'H JrT Wi Purrm
ll ? \ *‘'Q*' l *ecrntf
WINDMILL AND PUMP CONNECTIONS.
somewhat similar to a, is bolted on a
post at the windmill, in such manner
as to have the reciprocal motion of the
mill applied to it. The two devices are
connected to each other by wires fast
ened in the holes in ends of each arm.
"the motion of b at the windmill tow
er is therefore communicated to a on
the pump standard, which may be at
any distance from the windmill. The
holes in each device can be about two
feet apart. When wires are to be run
au extra long distance, or over very
uneven ground and other obstacles,
they are supported by posts on which
are bolted movable arms similar to a
or b. By using long posts the wires
can be raised out of the way.
Another excellent device is shown.
The crank, or handle, e. on one end of
the rod or shaft, takes the place of the
pump handle, while and, oit the other end
of the shaft, receives the motion from
the mill. The rod on which these two
contrivances are placed can be of al
most any length. Where it is not pos
sible to run it direct from the mill to
the pump, it can be joined by means
of a universal joint, and run around or
over any obstacle. This joint is shown
at e, and consists of two shaft or arms,
each terminating in a semicircle, and
connected by means of a cross upon
which each semicircle is hinged. When
one shaft is turned, either to the right
or left, the other shaft turns in the
same direction. Any good blacksmith
" ill lie able to make it. The material
used in the rod connecting pump to
aiill can be either one-half or one-inch
iron, or common inch gas pipe, screwed
Y ery tightly together.—J. (1. Allshouse,
in American Agriculturist.
Winter Dairying.
It used to be said that winter dairy
ing was so much more expensive than
summer that extra profits obtained
4J°m it hardly paid. This impression
was due as much to our general ignor
ance of how to adapt ourselves to the
new industry as to anything else. The
I; *et is we can distribute our work
uver the winter by a little planning so
that it need not he any more expen
sive. As it is now we devote all of our
time to summer dairying, and then
when winter comes on we have little
io do. The crowded condition of farm
work iu summer is often a worry to
Ihe farmer, and it is also responsible
tor much waste and loss. During the
rush season higher farm wages must
be paid, and often enough the pro
ducts cannot lie marketed or harvested
in time to get the best results. Now,
by taking up winter dairying system
atically we redistribute this whole
work, and devote most of our time to
securing good crops for the animals to
live on when giving us the most in re
turn.
One of the weakest points of dairy,
men in the past lias been that of rais
ing adequate crops for their animals.
The shiftless ones would have indif
ferent pasture for them in the early
spring and summer, during which time
they would manage to get the heaviest
and richest yield of milk. In the fall
anu winter the animals would have to
worry and starve along on cornstalks
or other poor fodder. Those who were
11101 0 progressive would provide some
soiling crop for late fall feeding, and
would lay in a fair amount of good
hay. But this system even was only a
poor makeshift. It was not until the
silo came into general use that we
could see our way to furnish the cows
with something like decent, succulent
food. Now with the ensilage, good
soiling, winter roots, good hay and
coarse fodder, we can winter our best
milch cows almost as successfully as
in summer. They get not only a va
riety of food, but rich, succulent, milk
making rations. They thrive on this
food, and with proper care yield nearly
as much milk as in summer.
Winter dairying thus,consists of the
proper distribution of our farm work
over the whole year. In the summer
our time and attention must be given
chiefly to the growing of good crops
for winter feeding. Pastures will sup
ply the cows with their summer food,
and all the heavy, cultivated crops can
then he garnered for winter feeding.
This work costs no more than the old
method of raising crops for summer
feeding, and letting the animals half
starve through the long winter.—W. E.
Edwards, iu American Cultivator.
A Brooder For Mild Weather.
For young chickens a large dry
goods box with the south side removed
and an old window sash put in, will
accommodate a number of ,he little
fellows for exercising and feeding
ground on warm sunny days. The
larger this box the better, and by
papering the inside with old newspa
pers it can be made quite warm. But
_ . X
FIG. 1. FOK YOUNG CHICKENS.
it is the brood r, after all, whether
kept in box or room, that the chickens
must look to for an escape from the
cold.
The brooder is so constructed that it
can be left to communicate with the
feeding box, thus allowing the chicks
to huddle together in it or run about
at will. The opening can be closed and
the cover raised, if for any reason it is
desirable to catch the chickens. The
one we describe will bold conveniently
from 100 to 150 chicks until they are
large enough to keep themselves warm
in the box alone. It is made iu the
shape of a box four feet long and
about two wide, with a sloping cover
about a foot high on one side and
eight inches on the other. This is
hinged on the upper side to give access
to the brooder for the purpose of clean
ing, and for catching the chicks. If
left out of doors this cover should be
made to shed the rain.
The object of the brooder is to take
Ihe place of the hen in keeping the
chicks warm. To do this, woolen cloth,
an old blanket or some sort of heavy
material, is tacked loosely at the sides
and in a few places through the cen
tre, in such a way that the loose folds
will hang down nearly to the bottom
of the brooder. This cloth should be
of several thicknesses, or padded if
need be. It should hang lower near
the sides than at the centre. It should
also be constructed in such a way that
it can he raised as the chicks grow in
size. This can ho done easily. The
cloth can he fastened to a frame made
of inch hoards and of a size that will
just fit inside the brooder (Fig. 2). At
each corner of the box put iu pieces of
2x4 studding, a, eight inches high, in
which holes have been bored an inch
apart from the top to within four
inches of the bottom. Saw out the
corners of the frame to fit around
these and insert a pin, c, in the hole

WARM MATERIAL.
that will hold it at the desired height.
A strip, b, nailed to the end pieces of
the frame and reaching through the
middle will serve as a fastening to
tack tlie cloth to in the centre.
To close the opening to the feeding
box, a sliding door can be made to slip
in at one side where the brooder and
box meet. As the weather becomes
warmer a small pen made of boards,
lath or screen Wire, communicating
with the feeding box, will furnish open
air exercise and a scratching ground.
Sand and gravel can be thrown in
here, also straw on which grain is scat
tered. The chicks will enjoy scratch
ing for it.—a. L. Irwin, iu New Eng
land Homestead.

TO BE HEELED HOW.
In the Spring You Are
Always Run Down.
This Will Tell You Just What To
Do For Yourself.
——
And Just Why You Should Follow
Exactly This Plan.
In the spring everybody needs to
think about taking a spring medicine.
Not only is this a common practice,
but a very necessary and healthful
one. It is a fact which physicians
acknowledge and the people recognize
generally, that a spring toaic taken
during the months of March, April
and May is more conducive to the res
toration of health, in cases of those
who are sick, than any other course
of treatment that could possibly be
adopted.
In the spring there are a great
many and important changes going on
in the body. Perfect health cannot
be maintained while the system is
clogged and the organs sluggish, and
the person has a languid and weak
ened feeling, with more or less ner
vousness and debility. Therefore
everybody should take a good spring
remedy.
The best spring medicine, indorsed
and recommended by physicians,
druggists and the people, is Dr.
Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve
remedy. In proof of this, thousands
Mrs. Etta Sumner,
of testimonials are being constantly
published in the papers. The follow
ing is from Mrs. Etta Sumner of
Goodells, Mich.
“I have been afflicted,” she says,
“with nervous debility for a year. My
nerves were completely prostrated,
and I suffered at the slightest excite*
ment, with great headache. At times
I was entirely overcome by this dis
ease. I would stay in the house alone,
and dread the sight of my own people.
My entire nervous system was shat
tered, and my life was a woFriment
and burden to me. I was advised to
try Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and
nerve remedy, and while on the first
bottle began to recover. My friends
were very much surprised.
“Before I had finished the second
bottle, I could sleep with a quiet
mind, and eat with ready and refresh
ing appetite. I have taken three bot
tles and am entirely cured of all my
sufferings. I cannot speak half high
ly enough of it. I cheerfully and earn
estly recommend it to every one
afflicted with disease. What gives
people absolute confidence in it, is its
being the discovery of one of our best
known and most successful physi
cians.
Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and
nerve remedy is, indeed, the greatest
of all spring medicines, for it makes
the sick well and strong.
Dr. Greene, of 35 W. 14th St„ New
York City, has the largest practice in
the world, and this grand medical dis
covery is the result of his vast ex
perience. The great reputation of Dr.
Greene is a guarantee that his medi
cine will cure, and the fact that he
can be consulted by anyone, at any
time free of charge; personally or bv
letter, gives absolute assurance of
cure to all.

Deafness Cannot Re Cured
by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseaued portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will bo destroyed forever.
Nine eases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh), that can
not be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Circulars
