Thus, a erop of red clover does not impoverish thjj eoil us ' much as a erop of timothy grass, vvhile a ton of dover hay nill make tnanure worth half as much Bgak) as that made Irom n ton of timothy hay. The same is truo ot peas and beans. The manure from a giyen wsight of these is worth doublé what it is from oatu, barley, rye, or Indian corn."
