What Clover Will Do.
Experienc ofa Wisccrnsin Farmer.
Several years ago we became pain-
fully °enamel's of a gradual deorease in
the yield of our crops. To remedy mat-
ters we commenced to feed. stock—cat-
tle sheep and, hogs. We not only fed
adthe grain and coarse feed the barn
produced, but we bought t great deal of
corn from our neighbors. After Ipursu-
ingthis policy for a few years we found
it not altogether -satisfactory. We could
not depend upon buying corn that left
no profit in feeding it, and what was
worse with all our feeding we could not
get manure enough to keep our land. up
to the productive standard we wanted
it. We next turned our attention, to
clover, and the result has more thaea
equalled our most sitaiguine expecta-
tions.
In the spring of 1869 wesowed,20 acres
to clover, sewing it with oats,
puttine ten pounds to the acre.
watery as food for animals; hence tae
°sane toccasioned by them, especially
with breeding eheep. They corttai
fully nine pinta of water to one pint of
ary food. Ninety per cent. of water is
too much.; 65 to 76 per centin pasture
grass is the more natural and proper
proportion. The human or anitral
frame of anirnals has 75 per cent. of wa-
ter, just as much as good grass holds.
Meat is deer as food. because it contains
ht. the lean portions 76 per cent. of wat-
er. No wonder that bread and cheese
are far more eeononaical.
Roles for the Dairy.
Mr. Ralph H. Wangoner,•of the AMOr-
ican Dairyman, and Butter Cheese and
Egg Reporter, read the following nine
and. regulations relative to the dairy gf

sufficiently to grow. On the 15th of -Before. milking, the dairymen
must wash their hands and faces, brush
October following we commenced to .
turn the clover over ; it took geed teams
and good plowe to go through it. The
next sprinebwe planted corn and har-
vested 60 bushels per acre. The next
spring we plowed the ground. and. sowed
oats. This brought the seedplowed un-
der in 1866 to the surface. The result
was that we ha.d. the ground. nicely set
to ele-ver amine The oat was as good
as we evert'handled. The next season
we cut two bouncing loads of hay, then
plowed the groield in the fell. Thetwo
following years, 1873 and 1874, we pro-
duced large crops of corn. In 1875, we
sowed to oats end again seeded to clover,
sawing ten pounds of seed per acregais-
ine a heavy crop of hay the latter part
orjune; also secured four bushels of
seed te the acre later in the season. We
are all satiefied that that 20 acres is all
right, and in condition to out a laity and
seed crop from next sea,son.
On the 1st Of June, 1872, we turned
80 good young hogs, averaging 150 lbs.,
on 15eicres of that clover that was sown
the sprib
ete before. On the 15th day
of September following the hogs aver-
aged a. trifle aver 250 pounds, a gain of
100 pounds each, or 600 pounds for each
aore pastured.
On the 26th of May, 1874, we turned.
120 sheets (mostly small pigs) that av-
eraged 100 pounds on 20 acres of clover
sown the spring before. On the 20th
of September they weighed int -pounds
, each, or 567 pounds gain to the acre of
clover.
June 1st, 1866, we tureted 95 head. of
ehoets, that ayeraged 126 pounds, on the
same 20 acres of clover. On the 1st of
October they averaged. 260 pounds, a
gain of 4871 pounds per acre. We then
plowed up the pasture, and it was about
as effectually dressed with hog manure
as one could desire.
Last spring (1876) we planted to corn,
commencing May 4th. It came up
quiok, and grew from the word. "go," and
produced the largest crop of corn, for a
field crop, we ever grew in, Wisconsin ;
as near as coulct be estimated, 82 bush -
eta per acre.
In. the spring of 1876, we turned 120
fair shoats on. 20- acres of clover. The
value of olover had beeorcte so well es-
teblished with us that we negleoted to
weigh them, consequently are not - able
to speak certainly as to define the re-
-sults, but they would not differ naateri-
ally frora the preceding years. The hogs
were never fed. any grain from the time
they were turned. on the clover until
taken off andweighed before feeding for
market. Another thing that pleased
us was the rapid gain. of hogs when put'
on feed. They seemed. to be just in the
right condition to eat heavily, digest
properly and assimilate perfeotly.
1./x 1n1 we fed. 45 days, and our hogs
then weighed 365 pounds, b eying gained
a fraction over n pounds per day while
eating corn.
In 1874 we fed 42 days and our hogs
weighing 315 pounds at commencement,
gaining a pounds per day.
In 1875 we fed 37 days. They weigh-
ed, 326 pounds at commencement, and
(mined withrn a small frection of three
potiads per clay.
In regard to plowing under green clo-
ver for a fertilizer, we prefer to pasture
it off with hogs. Think the benefit to
the land is as great or greater, and you
will get paid for the blover ; besides,
would prefer to paature the same land
when possible two years in flumes-
sion.
Our experience in this direction has
not been so extensive as it has in feed -
lug green. So fer it has averaged as fol-
lows:An min crop of hay, cut by the
26th of June, worth $10 per acre; three
bushels of seed scented inthe fall, at $7;
threshed straw, $3 ; total, 1;534, from
which deduct cost of harvesting and
threshing $0, les.ving $27 net. We do
not think the benefit, to land nearly so
great as when, the land is pastured.
conclusion, we would say if you
want to deer your lend of weeds, Bow
dover end sow it thick. If you want
to grow big coin craps, grow clover, and
pasture off with hogs. Plow up the
land the last of September or first of
October, and the crop following will
male you feel happy. If you want to
make rid' farms and male money, and - 'Woodchucks is every curious animal.

Whipping }19rses
Professor Wagnenin writing uponthis
subject, says: Many think they. are de -
tug finely, and. are proud of their succese
in horse -training by means of a severe
whipping, or otherwise arousing and
stimulating the passions,and then crash-
ing the will wherein the resistance is
prompted. No roista,ke can be greater
than this, and there is nothing that so
fully exhibits the ability, judgement,
and skilled the real horseman, as the
care displayed in winning instead of
compelling the aotion of the mind. Al-
though it may be necessaey to use the
'whip sometimes, it should' be always
applied judiciouslyand great care should
• be taken not to arouse the passions or
excite the obstinacy. The legitimate
and proper use of the whip is:calculated
to operate upon the sense of fear entire-
ly. The affectionate and better nature
must be appealed to in trairdng a horse
as well as in training a child. A re-
proof given eaay be intended for the good
of the child, but if only the passions- are
aroused the -object is depraving and in-
jurious. This - is a vital principle end
oan be disregarded -in sensitive and
courageous horses at the risk of spoilt
ing them. I have known many horsee
of a naturally gentle character. to be
spoiled by -whipping once, and one horse
that was made vicious by being struck
with a whip once while standing in his

There seems to be a staging prejudice
against washing fluids and. a general
idea that to spare the washboard is to
spoil the clothes. It -is reasonable to
suppose that any compound steofig

will also affect the febric; but I have
used a fluid made froni the following
reeipe for years, without discovering any
premature signs of "mild decay" in the
linen, while it saves at least . hall the
weaxiness of wash day:

A Mysterious Marriage.
The news of the fall of Plevnagee eh -
ed Constantinople in a curious, ay.
The Porte was informed of the fact,. but
it kept back the unwelcome intelligence
from the public. Private telegrams on
it
the subject were inippressed. . It ap
hoped the disaster would be nentrali, ed
by an Asiatic victory, and that the b ne
and antidote could thin be made known
at the same time. It :happened, h w -
ever, that a Greek banker of the n me
of Camara, and. who has always ad
finaneial and. confidential relati ns
with the Russian Embassy, was at
Paris. Immediately on the receipt of
the intelligence of the L.Plevna defeat he
telegraphed the news in the follo ing
mysterious style:
't I announce to you the marriage of
Mlle. Plevnice withM. Camaroff."
There was but one way of inte re -
theft, this sphinx -like despatch, and. that
was that Plevna had surrendered to tbe
embraces- of her Russian suitor. The
telegraph operators suspected nothing,
andthe name so as the same day ev-
eral nuptial notices had passed thro gh
their hands. Unluckily, also, wh.en he
partner of Mr. Camara received he
telegram ; several of his colleagues on
'Change were present They read he
mystery through at a gla,nceeand, VI
eharactenstic Greek volubility, si on
spread the fact through Galata nd
Pere. The Porte knew' nothing u til
the neat day, when the sudden fad in
Turkish consols ;startled it out of its
equanimity. It then, promulgated its
own telegrams, ascribing the delay o a
.derangement in the telegraph lines. . In
any other commanitythan this so ave
amisfortune would have created. eat
excitement Here its effect was slight
and transitory, owing to the spirit of re-
signation that controls Mussulmans,
and the belief that Allah shapes every-
thing to his own ends. Nothing gives
the Porte raore trouble than the tele-
graph and 'the newspaper press. Ti ci-
ii
turn and reserved as the Turk is in ri-
vet° life, he is even more so in p lie
matters. He has no appetite for news
himself, and he cannot conceive how
others should have any. He hates ev-
erything that disturbs his tranquility of
mind, or that breaks up -the monotony
of his dreamy existence. There are
journals in Turkey, but they hav a
very limited circulation,
and they on-
tain little of note except Imperial de-
crees and paragraphs relative to.. the
dignitaries of State.. Yon might as well
look for a needle in a haystack, at to
expect to find any report of curient
events in them. Even when they -lien-
ture to publish i1SWS as musty as an bld

sorship, and are fraspended. for their ef-
forts to instruct the Ottoman pi blic

side the walls of Stamboul.

Daniel Webster's Courtshi
In Peter Harvey's reminiscence of
Daniel Webster the following incident
is related, showing how he became en-
gaged. to his loving and devetede e.
He first saw her when he was ay ung
lawyer Porternouth, and she was Miss
Grace Fletcher. At one of his visit he
had—probably with a view of utilitir and.
enjoyment—been holding skeins of .silk
for her, when suddenly he stopped, saying
Grace, we have been" engaged in untying
knots; lotus see if we can tie a not which:
will not -untie for a lifetime." He then
took a piece of tape and after beginning a
knot- of a peculiar kin4 gave it to her to
complete. This was the cerexn.ony and.
ratification of their engagement. Arid in
the little box marked by him -with! the
words, "Precious documents," ccIntain-
ing i the letters of his early courtship,
tlis unique memorial was found—the
ot never untied. To the raenaory of the
ornen who won his earliest affection,
.w1p shared the trials and triumphs Of
his ifaxly manhood, Mr 'Webster retained
to the end of his life an rmfaltering devo-
tion. He could never speak of his
first wife without visible emotion. Grace
Fletcher Webster was a person of ,very
delicate organization ,both phg'siealle and
intellectually, yet ehe -was energetic' ; and.
when occasion required, she eihibited
rare fortitude. To her husband's welfare
she was entirely devoted; she presided
over his householdj with peculiar grace
and dignity, and. really seemed to live for

his comfort and plee.sure; when he was

letters testify, were of him day and night.
