The couutry at tho present time is put - tine on its fall aspect; and it may well be asked where more landscape and variegated foliage can be found than in the surround. ingalistricts at this season of the year? But soon, if the rathless hand of the woodman continues, these Canadian beauties will be no longer, aucl rural autumn scenery will be robbed of its charms, putt the farming lands depleted of a large revenue. THE FALL WORE on the farm has pro - grossed favorably, and a good deal of plow- ing has been done already and if anything like fine weather coutinuew for another month everything will be ready for winter. Ten WHE1T where the gr in was sown in good season and on well prepared ground it looks promising and already covets the gvound. Yet there are a great many sickly pieces which accurding to present appear- ances will have a hard time to winter through. The truth is the original organic or vegetable matter is fast being worn out of our wheat soils, ana it is the nitrogen furnished by decaying vegetable matter that makes the presence of black soil a sign of fertility. It is true that vegetable matter is largely carbonaceous, and grain crops liberally fed with mineral plant food will find their carbon in the air. Still the hard est and moat glutinous wheat is always grown on virgin soil, as it was in Ontario during the early settlement. To this, at present, the Manitoba North-West Terri- tory and Dakota hard spring wheat now Owes it superiority for milling purposes. When the soil loses its original stores of ni- trogenous fertility, the quality of the North-western e heat will rapidly deteriorate as that of other wheat.growing motions has done. The ono way to prevent this and to increase not only the quantity, but to im- prove tbe quality of wheat, is to grow clover largely. Clover is mainly and should be always feed on the farm where it is grown, Thus fed, it is toe only crop the farmer can grow that will absolutely inerease the a- mount of nitrogen in tee soil. It aeons reasonable to believe that clover acts as a ov by its loosening effect otathe eub- soil, helps to cleconepose air imprisoned in the soil, and make available for plant food borne of the nitrogen It do -retains.
