KED CLOVER. —This is the most widely cultivated of all the pasturage plants; loosening- the soil and admitting the air and drawing up and storing away near the surface the valuable principles scat- tered in the earth beneath, it is regarded as one of the best of vegetable fertilizers, as well as a cattle food of highest merit. Its luxuriant foliage, by shade, increases the fertility of the earth and smothers noxious weeds. It is a lime plant and does best on stiff loams. Its habit ot growth is rapid, and, though naturally a biennial, may, by close pasturage, be made to last three or four years. Sow in autumn south of the Potomac or Ohio, and in spring in northern states. Sow eierht Dounds to the acre. MAMMOTH (or Sapling Clover).—Grows very strong anu caa^e, »n fact so coarse that cattle only eat the leaves. It is main- ly used for soiling purposes, growing where other clovers very often fail, and restoring exhausted lands to good advan- tage. Sow in the spring, at the rate of eight pounds per acre. Sixty pounds per bushel. ALFALFA (or Lucerne Clover).—This excellent variety lasts from eight to ten vears and is invaluable for a droughty country, as the roots penetrate ten to fif- teen feet into the ground. Much grown in Colorado. Can be cut as many as four times in a season, and is excellent for soil- ing. It comes earliest in the spring and remains latest in the fall, and is highly valued as fodder. Thrives best in rolling country where the moisture can pass off readily, as a wet underground is fatal to the plant. It is best adapted to a dry, rich, sandy soil, but will grow anywhere. Ever
