The pump Is thus Inclosed at slight cost of labor and kept from "freezing up” during cold snaps In winter. If stock Is to be watered, a spout can pass through the rear side of the covering, to be removed and the opening closed when not In use. Scores of hours are consumed on many farms In winter "thawing out” pumps. A little protection of this sort will save much labor. The water in a well from which cattle are to be watered can also be kept much warmer If the platform The farmer should rejoice at the ap­ proach of winter, not because it will be a season of rest, but because it will give him an opportunity to do so many things that he has neglected in the hurry of planting, cultivating and har­ vesting. There are many little things for which there seems to be no great haste. They can be done at any time, and that means that they are never done, or done In great haste when they reach the point where they must be done. When we were farming we used the days when ft was not suitable weather to work out of doors In putting all tools and machinery in good condi­ tion, Including farm wagons and carts, and they were painted. If they needed It, which most of them did even after one year's use. The work might not have been done very artistically, but the paint served to protect the wood from tlie weather. Then harnesses were cleaned, mended aud oiled, and repairs made on gates, fences, etc., while during the pleasaut days manure was drawn out. and the summer wood brought home. All this so helped when the spring work began that if we de­ sired to go on a farm again we should much prefer to take it In November than March, unless we were sure that our predecessor had been one who spent the winter days In getting ready for the coming season.—American Cul­ tivator.

It is essential not only to keep the pump from "freezing up,” but also to keep the temperature of the water in the well as high as possible, since very cold water is undesirable for any stock, aud particularly undesir­ able for cows in milk and growing young stock.—New York Tribune. Clover Sick Land. We used to hear much of land getting clover sick, or so that while rich enough for corn or most of the usual farm crops. It seemed not to lie suit­ able for clover. Either the seed would fail to catch or the plants would die out before they had attaint'd size enough to show them above the other grasses. Perhaps on a poor field near­ by there would be a good crop of clover growing, sown with seed from the same bag and under the same condi­ tions of season. When we first noticed this we saw that the farmers who had used wood ashes on their fields had no trouble in growing clover, and that in pastures where bushes had been cut and burned there were often bunches of clover, most frequently of white clover, that came In and remained until they were killed out by being fed too closely. This led us to believe the clover would be benefited by the use of wood ashes or any form of potash. Then we noticed that farmers who used a com­ mercial fertilizer in addition to their manure had no trouble In growing clover. I Ji ter studies showed us that lime formed a considerable part of both ashes and the superphosphates, and thus we do not hesitate to advise any one to apply lime where they wish to grow clover, and to use acid phosphate and muriate of potash when they sow the seed, or as topdressing afterward. We think these are a sure remedy for clover-sick soil.—Exchange. Grain Weevil«. Tlrltllna Grain.
