CLOVER ROOTS.

At meeting of the N. Y. Agricultural
Board, at Watertown, President Geddcs
hsd some clover root furnished him by q
farmer in Onondaga county, one of which
measured three feet eight inches and the
roots entered the ground as tap ROOTS
The longest one was evidently broken off
in taking it up, and probably was six or
eight inches longer making it more than
four feet; the others nearly as long. Such
appendages as these to the clover plant, in
friable soil, may we'll account for the great
value of this plant as fertiliser. But
this is nothing to one found by Mr. Grow
ell on his farm in Seneca county, the root
being seven feet ten inches below ground
and passed in going that distance through
three different strato of soil. Mr. Crowell
said this was not the only one Of the kind
growing on the same ground, and rather
intimated that with care much longer ones
might be found. No wonder swine are so
fond Of clover; and if they had to depend
on the bottom for living, we might we'll
change the vulgarism, to "Root, hog and
de-"

PEAS AND CORN.

Don't forget to put in crops of Peas and
Corn as succession, if you desire to enjoy
these fine vegetables throughout the season
OF nearly so AS to corn, there is no rea.
son why we should not indulge in the lux.
ury from the time the first boiling pot is
obtained up to hard frost. IF crops are
planted every two weeks to the last of June
or first week in July and properly cared
Cor, this will be accomplished. StOwolls
Evergreen, which we believe can be OBJ
tanned at all the agricultural stores in the
city and most Of the stores in our towns
and villages, we find to be the best in quail
ity of all others, and most reliable for
successive crops. If you want to preserve
It pure and uncontaminated with other
corn, it must not be planted in the same
plot of ground or garden with other corn
,ipening about the same time. 1t is a
GOOD mode to change the seed about every
other year. It will have the effect to pro.
duce larger stalks and ears and more of
the latter--very few Of the stalks having
less than two ears.

ASHES AND PLASTER ON CORN.

We have been in the practice, for some
years past, of applying a mixture of ashes
md plaster to each hill of corn immedi,
ately after plantingit. Take eight bush.
els of ashes and two bushels of plaster, and
mix them together. This will suffice for
IN acre.
Now place handful of this mixture on
each hill as soon as an acre has been plan
ted and covered. The print of the hoe will
show where the corn is covered. by drop
ping the ashes and plaster at this time you
viii save one half the labor compared with
waiting till after the corn is up. You
viii keep the worms at distance and
start the corn earlier. And as weeds are
not ready to start up through the
ashes, you will find the labor Of hocing
-auch less than where weeds are found in
the hills So says the.

THE RECENT ELECTIOHs-OF WHAT
THEY ARE AN EXPREASInN

The elections are not an expression of
the popular wiu against the war, but
against Che conduct of the war-not in
favor OF secession, bat against the radl-
caIisfn that has ruled rampantly in Con
grsss, and tIfss swayed the the councils Of
the Cabinet, fed on bv one or two Of it's
members. The Cabinet went on yery
Well for d time, each membe attending
to DIS legitimate sphere, till Mr.. Chase,
negIecsing the financial affairs of the ma.
tIoa, embarked in the war business, and
| By his intFigues With other members Of
the administration, succeeded in e1ntroil-
ing the campaign, The generals, the naval
operations in the Chesapeake and James
rivers, and even the result Of battles
lie caused McCIeILan's army 10 be so Ill
VIded that success WAS next to impossible.
Bus chance offered be baf1ed it. His
brother r-in-laW, Mcdowell, was under his
inanepce; and We see the result at the
saoend BUD Run batsle,. McGlellan was
not reinforced, and the opportunity for
taking Richmond was deliberately thrown
away, because il was no part Of the pro-
granme ia have 1t captured at that time,
and BY conservative General, whom the
people might take into their heads to
make next President. What matters il
that thousands of union heroes died In
vain among the swaps of the Ubickahom-
my, if only the radical game was pro-
NOTED? The consequence Of Mr.. Chase
thus neglectiag his proper business and
meddling in the policy and management
OF the war, ia the financial depression,
which has made paper dollar in poor
MANS pocket only worth about six shiI-
lings, and has seriously impaired the ns-
tioaal credit. The result Of the elections
in Ohio, bis own State, is the most em-
phatic comment On the course of seere-
iary Chase. !
Thus the twofold blunders in states
manship aud finance had nearly r,,iued
the country, and the people, alarmed for
It's safety, have recorded their protest al
bailot-box.
This is the meaning of the elections,
