FALL FODDER FOR COWS

Those individuals who keep but one
or two cows, and have plat of land
cannot devise better method of fur.
nishing them with a good bite of fodder
occasionally, in the fall after the grass
begins to decay, than by sowing some
Indian corn. We have found the fol-
lowing plan good one. Make drills
and fill in with manure-cover the ma
nure over slightly, and in the drills
put quantity of southern corn--as
you would peas. Keep it free from
weeds, and in the fall you can cut an
armfull every night and morning for
your "kine," which will be amply re-
paid to you in the extra quantity and
quality of the milk.
We have sowed the northe IN variety
in this way, which does well, only it
is earlier and will ear out; you can cut
it by the last of August and first of
September, and feed it ears and. .all.----
Or, if you keep porker, you can pull
ears for him, and give the stalks to the
cow. 1t would be good plan to sow
some of both kinds. The Norther va
riety would do to cut first, and the
southern will come on in succession.
Some recommend sowing the corn
broadcast. To succeed in this way,
the land should be rich and very clear
of weeds, otherwise there will be a
struggle, weeds versus corn, and ten
chances to one if the weeds do not
come off victorious.

mates. But this is not the only advan-
tage to be derived from tire admixture.
Sandy soils, from their porousness;
from the absence Of the principle of
cohe sion----lose much of the riches of
the manure which may be applied to
them, by their natural tendency to
yield to the influence of the sun thro'
the process of evaporation.
Another evil of sandy soils arises
from the natural disposition inherent in
them to infilitration, or in other words,
to the sinking of the manure caused by
each succeeding rain. Nor is this all;
such soils, except when well filled with
vegetable and animal manures, possess
in very slight degree the capacity of
absorbing and retaining food from the
atmosphere. This defect, however,
may be cured by the addition of clay.
However we'll porouslands may be ma

moist one, their products will be COM
paratively small, because of the escape,
by evaporation, of the enriching gases
and from their natural tendency to give
up that moisture without which plants
cannot prosper.

Ihls Is the cheapest paper ever Of
fered to the people of Ohio, and we
shall be under the necessity, in all cases,
of receiving the money in aduaace.
The approaching campaign is of the
utmost importance to the safety, liber-
ty, and welfare of this government and
people.-The old bargain and bargain
ers of 1824-5, between Adams and
Clay, must all come under review. and
the people must again decide that ques-
ton, and the thousand other questions
now connected with that black and
corrupt act, such as an assumption of
State debts, as decided upon by the
Maryland elections, and resolution
just introduced into the Pennsylvania
Legisature--a U. S. Bank. &c. &c.
The times demand that every man
should do his duty--that every repub-
lican should be at his post-that truth
should be scattered wherever error is
found. We issue our Campaign Paper
to meet the wants of the numerous
CLUBS that have desired information
on the subject.
Democrats! let us at once 90 to
work.--The honor and salvation of
this Union depends on your exertions
our soil, the soil Of Oregon, is in dan
ger if federalism gets power in our
Councils. Throw aside all minor ques-
tons, and stand forth for your coun-
try.
6rWhere it is convenient, we should
prefer the CLUB papers to one direc-
ton.

TO be. or not tobe, that is the question: [seated
Whether the next ssFourth of March" shall see me
With all due poInp and circumstance, upon
The Presidential chair; or the base rout
OF the Loco Focos shall defeat my purposes?
To hit-to miss--no more faye, we hit,
TO end this curs'd incertitude, these doubts
We coons are heir to-'tis aconsummation
Devoutly to be wished To hit-to miss;
To mss perchance the 'spOis'-ay, there's the rub
For in the loss of them what else may come,
When we have shuflled offthis 'lection's coil,
Must give us pause: There's the respect
That makes calamity of standing thus
A candidate with coons; for who could bear
The whips and scorns of time, the Loco's sneer,
+ The honest's mans contempt, the bitter pangs
OF scared conscience, rousng from its dumps
The insolence Of workies, and the spurns
Defeated coons must of the Locos take,
When he himself might his quietus make
With-three sin-cocktas' Who would be thefool,
I To grunt and sweat under this knavish life,
But that the thought of gaining the election
(That unreach'd goal for whose attainment, twice
I've strove with might and main)-braces the will
And makes me hope 'gainst hope, it may be so;
Thus interest does make rascals of us oil,
And thus the native hue of Patriotism
is sickled Ger with narrow selfishness;
And measures of great moment of the State,
With this regard, their currents turn away,
And lose the name of action.

tune. 1t hits off Harry Clay with the force of a
"steam arm
To run for President Harry contrived,
Two or three times; but so poorly he thrived,
(Although to assist him the devil connived,)
That in spite of his 'running" he neper ariued
Ri tu, SC.
And he got such anotion of "running'' they say,
(Like horse with habit Of running away,)
That without the hopes of winning, this Clay,
From the mere force OF habit is running to-day
Ri tu, sc.
And It's limited by some that grim death has not skill
To stop the career of this sboy of the MILL
That he only at best the poor body can kill
Whilst his ghosttor some office ,DiH keep running
