admits will impede the plough; but the
faulty, and as this writer copceives the
impoverishing practice, consists, in an

and other dry substances, and burning
them. Thus, that which should 60 to

lowing The litter TO remain on the land,
and be turned by the plough beneath the
surface, except that it obstructs the
plough. But if The practice of clearing
and burning is continued for succession

necessary, because the quantity would
be annually diminished, the useful pro.
duct cut short, and the soil finally exhaust

are doubts in the mind Of the Lieutenant
Governor, whether by the Governors
absence from the state, under the Sd ar

ed The Office, and thereby the duty of the

Presuming that your paper is open fo-
agricultural subjects, and thinking the
following observations may be useful
| request Their insertion. The writer
has observed what he considers an
exceptionable mode of preparing land
for corn crop by the farmers in Illinois,
and as the practice is almost universal,
it is SO much the more to be deplored,
and so much more necessary is it 10 COR
rect the procedure.
Most Of our agriculturalists practice
as it they considered the soil inexhausta-
bic and eternal in its quantity and dura.
ton Of productive ability.
The surface ofthe ground, after corn
crop, is certainly covered with redun-
dant growth OF litter, as stalks and weeds

The President of the United States has late.
ly pad visit to his venerable father, at Gum
cy, Massachusetts,. His journey was without
parade, and, though with some difficulty, he
declined those public testimonials of respect
which the ihabi tants of the several cities
wished to give him, but has received
daily instances Of individual hospitality. To
lis, who are accustomed to the plainness of re-
publican manners, there is nothing in this sur.
prlzing: But, TO the subjects of legitimates,
who dare not stir without guards, and who
will not move without the gaudy trappings Of
royalty, it must appear strange that the Chief
Magistrate OF great people, should travel
through the country as private citzen-rcst
at inns, and mingle with the common people
on terms OF perfect equality. Such is our GO
