SEEDING GRASS LANDS-PR0PER TIME For
CUTTING AND METHOD OF CURING Ray.

81
Having been requested 10 make known tho
experiments have tried and fully tested,
now submit them pro&pno pu6lico, with all
due Difference to the opinions of my seniors
i'll agriculture. s ~,
When preparing meadow or upland, u
sually seed on wheat, sowing in the fall half
bushel of timothy seed to the acre, wbchis
lined at the rate of three hundred bushels;
and the following spring, after moderate fall
of snow, one bushel of clover seed, top dress
ed with charcoal dust and rolled. From
land so treated, cut, last season, three tons
of hay 10 the acre. My practice is to COM
mence cutting when one-third ofthe blossoms
OF clover have turned brown, and the timothy
just parting with its bloom. The grass thus
Gu, is drawn Immediately into the barn, and
one bushel Of iine salt spread by hand thinly
over each alternate layer composing ton, as
slowed away in the NOV. The salt prevents
NOW burning, moulding, &c., and the stock arc
induced to eat it as greedily as they would
new NOVA grass, which it nearly resembles,
as lis most nutricious juices are preserved,
being difused through the stem Of the entiro
plant at that period Of its growth. IL left or
the ground until the seed ripens, the saccha-
rne juice of the plant is LOST. II
The principal desire Of the farmer should
be to preserve the green appearance of his
nay, and at the same time make 1t tender and
paaiable 10 his stock. The fermentation
which ensues after it is housed, secures that
object, and prevents the inevitable injury to
his meadows whcs 'CNpws ripening grasses
BY early harvesting he 'obtains. g luxurant
growth of aftermath or rowen, almost as nu-
ri,ioUs the first, and as much relished by
cattle, but peculiarly adapted TO sheep. 81.

SINGULAR AND SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES


a stranger who said he came from the
State of Ohio, and who gave in his name as
Milton Fowler, was found last Friday in the
Presidents House under very suspicious and
singular circumstances, such as naturally to
create some alarm. and induce the belief that
the man was lahorng under mental derange-
ment He iniruded himself into the private
rooms, and was found walking about the
house with an open clasp knife in his hand.
Being asked by gentleman what he was do
ing there, the stranger Immediately asked the
gentleman If he was the President, and being
answered in the negative. the stranger remark
ed to the gentleman he had no right to 0ues-
lion him, or words to that effect. An officer
being sent for. the stranger was taken before
Justice John ID. Clark and committed to Jail
,for safe-keeping and further examination.
H'Ac man talked somewhat incohcrenily before
the examining gis,rate. About the person
of the mysterions stranger were found two
loaves OF bread and two bottles of wine Our
statement of this singular affair is derived from
the officer who took the stranger into cuslo-
dy. Milton Fowler, the person under com
mitmcnt, says he is native of Connecticut,
and has resided of late i'll the State OF Ohio

The FRAoRANcg OF Onions. Onions DO. not,

though in fact they really do add 10 the fragrance
of fowers.-Let our lady readers plant large

ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE AT MEXICO.

Our readers doubtless remember the details
we published few days since of frighifullv
destructive earthquake which was experienced
at Mexico on the 9Th April. We have now
TO add repetition of this awful disaster in the
capital on the 10Th April. Oar examination
of the papers has failed to enable us TO dis
cover many details OF the amount of ruin aid
desoialion occasioned by lhis convnlsion, but
from the fact that the journals unite in describ-
ing IFS effects as terrific. we presume the de-
siruction must have been great The Diori0
of The / l!h states that the earthquake occurred
about 10 O'clock A. NJ, and lasted forty Sc
conds that it overthrow many new buildings
and many Others that had escaped the former
visitation; that most Of the inhaOilants, strck-
Ell with ,eGror, left their houses and took re-
fuge in the open fields and The public squares,
passing the night without shelter and III the III
most CONSERVATION. The "Veracruzaro'' OF
the 18th April states that private letters fur
nish gloomy picture al The deSo,auon hat
has fallen upon MEXICO. The "Hesperia" of
the 18th states that the earthquake Of the 10Th
completed lie destruction OF the cupola OF
Santa. Theresa, aud increased the damage done
To- the churches of San.o Domingo and San
Francisco But for lie shortneSs OF its dura-
ton, the entire city would have been laid in
ruins Mexico did not suffer alone. The
shock was felt in q nuuber Of towns and vii
lagos within radius OF several hundred miles.
Al Puebla the earthquake was experienced OIL
the 9TH, about O'Clock =. NJ, bat its effects
were comparatively slight. Several churches
were injured, and many private cdilices we're
/ greatly damaged though none were abso-
lutely destroyed. a, Acuartlo and Toluca
