Clorer.
Wo cannot urge too frequently upon farmers
tie paramount importance of this greatest and
best of hay crops, which, all things considered,
has no rival. As a soiling crop, it is vatly
superior to any other that has yet been tested.
For improving worn and waited lands, giving
rest to that v. hich has been wearied and re
storing life and vitality to that from which
fertility has been exhausted, next to the pea
it has no equal in nil the countless experi
ments made by practical and scientific re
search; and with all of its many excellencies
and rare merits, there is no crop so univer
sally neglected. A wheat, rye or oat field
should never be sown without seeding to clover.
If either should produce only a partial crop,
the clover, if it "catches," will make good all
losses and in any event, the benefit to the
land, derived from the clover, will amply re
pay for tho extra co'-t and labor.
In addition to seeding wheat, rye nnd oat
crops to clover, we would also urge that clover
be liberally mixed with all other grass crops
for the meadow. It goes well with any and
all of them and it is a benefit in every in
stance. a .
We consider spring seeding the lxtt 'f and
safer, as when aiwn in the fall it may not get
sufficiently rooted to stand the freezes of win
ter. Our experience, if it is di sired to seed
down to a wheat field, is to wait until the
ground is settled in the spring and the hard
frosts have pissed, then sow six or eight
quarts of clover seed and four quarts of
timothy well mixed, followed by harrowing
and then roll the ground. When the clover
plant begins to leaf, sow 200 pound of plaster
to the aero. With oats the same quantity of
seed should be nsed, but after the oats are
dragged in, immediately put on the roller,
i which is beneficial to both oats and clover.
The application of platter must not be
Omitted, as it is of .special benefit to the oats
on dry land. Clover roots strike deep and
bring np the fertility of the sub soil. It is
considered one of the best crops in the rota
tion to keep np the land. In most cases the
first crop is cut for hay and the next crop
plowed under in the green state. The roots
of well established clover contain more weight
of dry matter than the crop above ground,
and this recounts for the increase of fertility
by plowing under. Let no farmer neglect the
clover crop. Nashville Southern Industrie.
Early Peas.
There are two distinct classes of peas, those
with small round seeds and others with much
larger, irregularly shaped peas, the surface of
which is wrinkled. The wrinkled seeded, or
marrowfat peas, are as much better than the
others as sweet corn is superior to field corn.
The round peas, while not so good, are much
hardier and earlier than the others. Unless
the soil is warm and they germinate quickly,
wrinkled peas will decay before they can
come up. The round peas are vastly better
than no peas, and are very acceptable nntil
the others come. To have early peas they
must be sown early the earlier the better.
After the soil has thawed for the 'first four
. inches, even if it is solid below,. sow peas. If
the ground was manured and plowed last au
tumn, all the better; if not, select the richest
available spot and opeto a drill .four inches
deep. Peas should be covered deeper than
most; other seeds. For varieties tee Eatlv
Kent is"one of the best; it has almost a many
is one of the names of 'a good strain of this
pea. Carter's first crop is another good vari
ety, and every spring new extra early sorts
are sent from England, which usually turnout
to be the old Early Kent with a new name.
The peas should be sown in the bottom of the
drill rather thickly, at least one every inch,
and at first covered with about an inch of
soil. It is well to put about four inches of
coarse stable manuro over the rows; this is to
be left on in cold days, but when it is sunny
and warm pull it off with the rake and let the
soil over the peas, replacing it at night.
'When the peas sprout, gradually cover them
with fine w arm soil, placing the coarse ma
nure over them as needed until the soil
reaches the level of the surface. If a ridge
of soil, a few inchis biuher than. the peas, be
drawn up on to each side of the row, it will
crreatlv Drotect them from cold winds. When
the soil becomes dry' and warm, the main
crop of wrinkled peas may be sown. Amer
ican Agriculturist.
Pruning at Different Seasons.
Winter pruning should be practised only on
hardy trees, except it be the removal of small
twigs, which, if few, may bs cut away at
almost aLy time. Hardy bearing apple trees
may safely have small branches removed at
the present time, the cut surface soon drying,
when paint cr grafting wax may be used for
covering the wound. It is better not to do
all the work in a single year, if there is much
to be done. The tree may remain a little one
sided or dense headed for a year or two, till
gradually brought into shape.
As to the best time, the same rule is not al
ways to be applied to all places and circum
stances alike. Many prefir early summer
pruning, because the woudds soon heal over
at that season, if large branches have not been
cut away. This will answer well with young
and vigorous growth, the check always given
by the removal of much foliage not doing great
barm. The result, however, from summer
prunlrg, is not always so favorable as at first
it appears to be. This was tested some years
ago by an orchardist in Iowa, who cnt off a
branch in every month In the year, and at the
end of five yean, when all had healed over,
the wood on cutting into it was found the
least decayed after the lata winter pruning,
and the most decayed after the early summer
pruning; the latter being about three times ai
trret as the former. In this case, the sudden
check in the rapidly growing trees, by cutting
away large limbs, to the flow ot the sap
through them, deranged the currents of sap
in the wood, while it expended itself in a
more rapid formation of new wood near the
outside. Country Gentleman.
Flax u a Fallow Crop for Wheat
In many paiti of the West, flax is raised
for the setd with profit, and since the intro
duction of flax machinery, the straw his be
come a marketable article. Flax seed is rich
in phosphates of lime and magnesia, but aside
from this, it takes but little from the soil.
The straw being unglazed, it take no soluble
silica, and but little potash, from the soil, "t
is, therefore, a good preparation ior a wheat
crop. If ground is uetigned for seeding in
wheat next fall, a flax crop may be put in as
early in April as will be safe from the danger
of heavy frosts. Any good wheat ground will
bring a paying crop of flax, if it be free from
weed. The ground should be broken as early
in the sprb'g as it is in condition to be plowed.
When the time has come to sow the surface
should bo leveled and well pulverized. If
deep furrows or pits are left in the surface,
the seeds, from their slippery character, will
slide into these cavities and leave the eleva
tions without any. About 30 pounds of good
seea to ine acre are suincient, it the rroduc
tion of flax seed is the aim; if lint is the ob
iect, the amount of seed may be doubled.
The flax croD is now irencrallv cut bv ma.
chinery, leaving a stubble on the ground about
tnree inches hind, from ten to twelve bush
els of s ed, and from a half to three fourths
of a ton of straw per acre is a fa;r crop.
farmers' RevUio.
Early Potatoes.
It will scon be time for putting in early po
tatoes, and the old favorite, early rose, still
holds its place at the front. It may be infer
ior to some of the new varieties, but th re is
one thing in favor of the early rose that all
will admit, and that is the usual ceitainty of
the crop. There are but few exceptions re
garding the reliability of the early rose, and
it must be a very unfavorable season, It. deed,
when they do not reward the grower for his
trouble. Another peculiarity is that when
the tops are dead the potatoes are there, and
this cannot be said of all others. The peach
blow, which is a late variety, first gives a
very vigorous growth of vino, and forma the
potato afterward. At times they show no
slpns of tubers until almost at the period of
maturity of vine, and they seem to hurry on
the tubers as if they had been forgotten.
They are good keepers and are hard to beat
as a late variety.
Regarding the new rari ties it is best to
procure only a pound for experiment. Try
them side by side wide established, well
known varieties. The reason is that no
farmer can recommend to another at a dis
tance which is the more preferable variety, as
soils and other conditions may not be the
same.
Qraftlns the Grape Tine A New Method.
We desire to have now varities of grapes
come quickly Into bearing, but vines from
nurseries are frequently tardy. Even a'ter
careful nursing they will often droop and die,
while a few buds cut off on arrival nnd
properly grafted may produce fruit in a short
time. Grafting on cut off, underground,
gnarly stumps of vines, as usually practiced,
is very uncertain at best. Our method is to
take a good strong branch or cane of vine, or
even a whole 'young vine when a change of
fruit is desired, and whip the graft in the
usual way. We then cover up the vine in U e
soil as near the roots as possible, leaving
above ground only a bud or two of the graft.
It is well known how quickly a layer will
make a bearing vine, as it has the advantage
of the parei t roots as well as the roots it
produces. The layer may be extended, if
long enough, to crow where the vine is to re
main. Vineyards may in this way be quickly
changed to better varieties Exchange.
About Trees ,
When a tree is taken up to replant it
should always be marked, so as to replant as
it first grew the noath side to the north.
When planted in sandy or light soil, a clay
basin bottom should always be put in first to
hold the water, and then loam mixed w ith
elay should be used for filling to cover the
roots. "Three-fifths of the nourishment of a
tree comes from the air," says a theorizer,
which is a humbug. Girdle the'treVand see
hW long it will live. "How, that rain made
the grass grow," is a very common expression.
But such is not the fact. It forms a liquid
solution of .t ho fertilizing properties contained
in the earth fertilizer, and the little, tender
fibrous roots take it up, and then up springs
the tender grass. Exhaust the soil of its en
tire fertilizing properties, and yon would get
no more grass. The tree draws its nourish
ment from its fibrous roots in the same way,
and not from the air; and if you wish to keep
your trees vigorous and healthy, remove the
soil occasionally six or eight inches deep
around the tree and replace it with rich,
fresh dark loam. A tree requires a shower
bath from rain or otherwise occasionally, as
much as a man, to open its pores; and, like a
man, when it has received the bath it gives
off the pent-up heat in the body, and there
fore the charmine odor and fragrance inhaled
is accounted for upon entering a forest imme
diate after a rain shower.
Bettlnc Out Currant Cuttlntf .
The currant is so valuable a fruit, it is so
readily grown and occupies so small a space of
ground, that the wonder is that it is not cul
tivated on a much greater area than it is. It
is true that it is being done on a much greater
scale than formerly, still it falls far short of
what it ought to be. In setting ont the cut
tines they should be taken, of course, of last
year's wood. They can now be cut st any
time and stuck in the ground an inch or two
until the time for planting arrives, which is
throughout April and the nrst bait ot May.
They should be set in the ground about six,
the soil around well pressed with the foot,
watered when necessary, mulched when hot
weather sets in. It well done every f.ne ought
tn nrnv. "Rut in cettinir readv the cuttincrs
and wishing to raise most fruit, let all the
eyes remain on it, as each will produce a
bush; but if a small tree is desired cut out
every eye beneath the surface, and you will
get it, but not so much fruit, nor will the
tree be so lasting. In planting the cutting
just as taken from the parent bush, a branob
or shoot will come from every eye, and the
bush will but an almost indefinite period. If
carefully set out, the cuttings will produce

The Bon of a Farmer.
The always helpful "Aunt Addie" tells the
true story of "the son of a farmer," who grew
up into love for his father's occupation and
prepared himself to worthily inherit and
manage the paternal estate:
"When a very little boy his father gave him
a pig. This was a pet and especial care, and
when ready lor maraet trie money it uruugut
was religiously handed over to him. Then
came a sensable discussion of how the money

John Day Prairie, Wasco County Oregon.
D. H. Stearns In Oregonlan.
It is thirteen miles from Des Chutes bridge
to the bridge across John Day's river on the
O. R. N. Co, 's Columbia river line. The
two rivers are about equal in volum? and in
the extent of country drained. The Des
Chutes come from the southwest and tumbles
over a considerable fall in the Columbia.
John Day's cornea from the southeast and
unites with the Columbia peacefully at the
mouth of a deep canyon so narrow that the
traveler must be alert' to catch a glimpse of
the river. I crossed it half a dozen times be
fore I had seen it. It is nearly 200 miles to
the source of either by its windings, and 100
mileB from the Columbia as the crow flies.
Either is a respectable stream. Between
them from the Columbia, nearly to their
source, lies a most beautiful bunch grass
prairie, known as John Day's. It is just
enough undulating to be seen. At its sides
and northern end canyons cut down to the
rivers. Three main wagon roads cross it
one, the old Walla Walla trail, from east to
west, another from southeast to northwest,
and the other from northeast to southwest.
Almost the entire population of Oregon up to
1870 crossed John Day prairie by one of these
roads. Yet no hsd thought of settling on it
except a few who kept feeding stations on the
trails, and no one lived near it except two or
three men, who built bridges across John
Day's or DesChotes rivers and cut roads down
to them from the level of the prairie. The
grade down to John Day bridge, the only one
for 70 miles from its mouth, is four miles long
and steep ss could well be nsed At Sherer s
bridge across the Des Chutes, 30 miles from
its mouth, the descent is 2,800 feet through a
canyon six miles in length.

Up to 1880 the prairie was a range for great
herds ot cattle and bands of sheep whose own
ers did not deign to live upon it or care to
take title to the land,
A few venturesome settlers tried cultiva
tion that year and wero surprised at the fer
tility and productiveness of the soil.
A rush for lsnd followed and still continues.
It is not all taken yet, though unoccupied sec
tions are several miles from the, lailroad.
There are probably 000 families now on the
prairies, nearly all farmers.
Grsnt's itttion, nearly half way between
Des Chutes snd John Day's, is the moat cen
tral ard principal shipping point. An easy
road comes down from the prairies through a
canyon several miles long. One car load of
wheat was shipped from the station in 18SI,
and notwithstanding the drought of last year,
tbo moat excesaive for 20 vears, eight car
Inuli'of wheat came dow n from the praiiie.

prospects, to produce 200 car loads. The

of trees arc crowing finely. Wells have been
