Show drover CLOVER AS A GREEN maslee MANLEE this la Is the subject of a long well written article in the new york tribune in which the writer agues strongly and logically in favor of cl clover as a amadure manure he ile argues that it Is not a great waste of a hay crop or a great loss of time to manure with clover is it excellent to plough it under but bu t it la is claimed that the ver very 7 best preparation the very best manure I 1 that land can have is to sow and afterwards cut a good propof crop of clover though it seems i very contradictory to think that yoa yon can remove a ve very large quantity of both mineral and or organic food from the soil and yet make it very productive as in the case cue of clover nevertheless it is stated as a fact that the larger the amount of mineral matter you remove in a crop of clover and the larger the amount of nitrogen which is carried off in clover hay the richer the land becomes this strange chemical anomaly is eav explained 1 lim ill on the principle that a vast amount 0 of f zin min mineral manure is brou brought ht within the reach ot of the wheat rye oats oath and barley crops by growing owin gelover clover this manure is thus rendered ar available to the roots of these cereals while otherwise it would remain in a loe loc lockup t condition in the soil if no recourse were had to the introduction of the clover crop clover by means of its long roots penetrates a large mass of soil it gathers up so to speak the phosphoric acid and potash which are disseminated throughout a Is large portion of the soil and when the T land sa ploughed sloughed hed the roots are left in the surface and in decaying they leave in an available condition the e mineral substances which the wheat plant requires to enable t to grow the store of mineral food that is obtained in six or twelve inches of soil is so great that the quantity remove removed dby by the he citver clover clover hay is truly insignificant in comparison with what remains T IS is surp surprising to how many uses paper las been put of late late lato years A manufactory of first class clasa paper rowboats row boats Is established on the banks of the hudson river about a

ly great improvements have been made in the preparation of the paper which enable the workmen to make the sheets of any required size and thickness for any kind of boat from a shell to a whaleboat or

orders for them are numerous and tha the trado trade is constantly and rapidly increasing AS a proof of their durability it may in be said that many ot of them have been used for noc two years and ana are now as staunch and serviceable aa as when first put into the water they never leak and can only take water in over their gunwales gunzales gun wales and their weight ia is not increased by absorbing water wate as is the case with boats made of wood nood they cannot be cracked or split and for the same dimensions can be made about thirty per cent light erand still be much tougher than
