put in operation. The farmer expects
to get good crop with this single plow
ing and to enrich his land for future crops
| How could he do so much for his land IL
any other way at the same cost? He has
/ cut one crop of hay, and from the middle
/ of July to the middle of September the
/ grass had so grown that itwas hardly prac-
| tioable to get it into the furrow. The
| crop of hay has paid the interest on the
value Of the land ,tully ten per cent? and
the crop of what will pay still better.
Now what has this manuring cost? Do
your own figuring
Do any of your Eastern farmers ma
nure as heavily as this2 They pay more
money, but do they manure as highly?
Let US look at the future of this land.
The wheat will come off next year. and a
fourth cf buShel Of clover seed sown
next spring-having put timothy grass
seed on when the wheat was drilled in
the butts of the bundles of wheat will, at
harvest, be full of tne tops of the grasses.
A little pasture will be had next Fall,
if the season is dry if it is wet and warm,
the clover will blow out before frost.
The following year corn, or perhaps bar
ley, will be sOWn on the new clover and
timothy seed, or hay may be cut that year
IN July, and a crop of clover seed taken
of IN September, and corn or barley the
next year. IF barley, wheat will be sown
on the stubble, and like round of crops
be repeated.
I thought as I saw this man turn under
the clover last month, that he was plow-
ing in from II to bushels of clover seed
to the acre, that he had better cut and
save, and put his land into barley next
Spring, following with whent next Fall
But he took his way, and by doing as he
did he has clover seed that will be com
ing up in his crops for years.
viii this manuring with clover last?
[ can only say it has answered for at least
sc years on a field on my farm This fields
history is known-it has been cropped
hay, pasture, corn, barley,
oats and wheat, manuring with clover and
plaster only. No signs of poverty yet,
but, on the contrary, increasing fertility.
Barley was harvested from it this season,
and it is now in wheat Come next sum
mer and see it harvested.

A correspondent of the Ohio State

en- with paralysis, narrates the following
very curiC1s coincidence:
When at last the press about him les

happened first to say to me furnishes one
of those strange condolences which help
to invest our lives with a tiDge of the
mysterious and awful, and which makes
US superstitious. One Of his first utter
ances to me was a startling description of
what Tom Corwin was to be in twenty
FIVE minutes after its utterance. 1t was
this: He said, ou are more bald than

sailed for Mexico" / said, "Yes." He
said, with the semi-solemn, semi-comical
face which has become historical, But

a more serious manner and said 'Twen-

HOW TO MAKE ENDS MEET.

John Johnson says that he has noticed
that those farmers who have most difficult
ty to make both ends meet. always plough
most and keep most stock Now these
men take the true plan to keep themselves
always poor, because their crops and
stock are always poor and bring little II
is a good profit to raise three hundred
bushels of wheat from ten acres but
when it takes thirty acres to raise that
amount, it is raised at a loss. So it is
with cattle and sheep. You will see
thinking farmers making four-year-Old
steers worth from 60 to so dollars each,
and his neighbors. at the same age, not
worth over 25 or 40. IF his land is ex-
hausted-and a great many farms are-then
he should plough no more than he can
thoroughly manure Seed with clover
and grass, and let it rest. for even two
years, and that field will not only pay well
for tillage, but will furnish manure (if
rightly managed) to make another field
Of the same richness also. Tt Is bad
policy when a field once highly manured,
to continue cropping it with grain until
the manure is used up. The latter end
of that land will be worse than the first.
But let that lay in clover even one year
but two is better, after it is manured, and
then it will stand perhaps six good crops
before it requires manuring; if clay sub
soil it certainly will.

AGRIC ULT UR AL

CLOVER-ITS GREAT VALUE AS A MANURE
CROP.

G6UEs
EDITOR REVEILLE:-Willy you give
place to the following letter from Hon.
Geo. Geddis. a noted agriculturist of
the State of New Ork, to Solon Robin
son of the New ork Tribune. The sub
ject upon which it treats will recommend
it to every farmer, and although plaster
may be of little or no value applied to
the low soils of this or perhaps any other
region, the use of clover for manurial
urDOses Is nevertheless not to be discard
ed:
Ny FRIEND your remarks in regard
to clover as manure, published in THE
TRIBUNE of the 18th inst, appear to me
to be so Just that | am led to express my
hearty concurrence | have been long
trying by precept and example too, to
get the farmers of the country to believe
that the clover plant, stimulated by gyp-
sum, whenever experience proves that
gypsum does aid its growth, IS the most
valuable manure, when we take into ac-
count the cost. that can be had. In my
report on the county of Onondaga, [ said
1.-THE agriculture of Onondaga county is
based on the clover plant, and I now re-
peat that assertion Yesterday a farmer
living within two miles of the center of
the City of Syracuse, called on me, and
while passing over the farm, remarked
that he would not draw manure from the
city to his farm if it was given to him, pre-
fering to manure with clover and plaster.
This was the opinion Of a man who has
spent fifty years of his life in earning a
handsome fortune as working farmer,
and whose knowledge of scientific matters
is quite lImited-iD short, man who Is
governed eutierly by practical results.
He knows Just the value of baru-yard ma
nure for he has made and used large guam
titles every year, on the farm where he
now lives and has lived for thirty or more
years. Nothing was said by me to draw
out his opinion. 1t was given unprompt
ed, and having long since learned to val
ue the opinion of such men, [ was very
much gratifed at hearing his views.
Within the last four weeks, have seen

that the milder form of the disease known

attacked nearly everybody during the
damp, sultry weather that had been pre-

for the latter form of the disease were
laudanum and sub-nitrate of bismuth,
and they were administered with excel

SUICIDE.-On Christmas morning, a
young lad about sixteen years of age,
named John Cobaugh, residing with Mr..
Judah Dodge, in JerOme township, took
his gun under the pretence of going to
the woods after game. Not returning
within reasonable time, search was made
for him, and on Friday morning he was
found in the woods on the widow Dodge s
farm dead, having been shot through the
head. He was reclining with his back
against tree. It appears from the in
vestigation of the coroner's jury, that he
had tied a string to the trigger, and ex-
tended it around the butt Of the gun, he
took the end in his hand, and placing the
muzzle to his forehead, he drew the string
and fired ball through his head. 1t
seems to have been deliberate suicide.
There are no reasons assigned as we have
learned, that might account for the com
mission of the rash act.-HarysUiU Trj-

TRIP LIGHTLT.

Trip lightly over trouble,
Trip lightly over wrong;
We only make grief double
By dwelling on IL long
Why clasp woes hands so lightly?
Why sigh o'er blossoms dead?
Why cling to forms unsightly?
Why not seek. joys instead?
Trip lightly over sorrow,
Though all the day be dark;
The sun may shine tomorrow,
And gaily sing the lark.
Fair hope has not departed,
Though roses may have fed,
Then never be dOwn-hearted.
But look for joy instead
Trip lightly over sickness,
stand not to rail at doom;
We've pearls to string of gladness,
On this side of the tomb,
While stars are nightly shining,
And heaven is overhead,
Encourage not repining,
But look for joy instead.

pIEEEREEeEs AmpHe uHIoE MER.

There is a difference in views among
Union men as to the effects of the late
rebellion on the position of the rebel
States. That difference has been fully
developed in Congress by the speech of
Thadeus Stevens, on one side, and Mr.
Raymond, Of the New York Times, on
the other. Many Of our friends have felt
an anxiety lest these differences should
increase so as to create a rupture IN the
Union party. We are glad to say that
there Is no probability of such result
Our friends, while differing, are fully i'm
pressed with the conviction that the well
fare of the nation depends upon our uni
ty, and that everything gained by the war
would be endangered. If not lost by our
quarrels, and which would again let in
the COpperheads of the North, to act in
concert with the recent traitors Of the
South. We cannot too strongly impress
upon our friends in Congress the vital ne
cessity of union and harmony of action.
In no event must they separate. After
full and free debate, and consideration,
the course that the majority shall deter
mine upon should receive the cordial sup
port of all.
We are glad to copy from Mr.. Ray
mond's paper, the n. Y. Times. such evil
denoes of unity as the following:
Meantime tho dimerences between the
President and Congress are greatly exag-
gerated. Both agree that the restoration
of the Union is greatly to be desired !;
both agree that it ought to be effected at
the earliest possible moment consistent
with the public safety, and both agree
that members from the rebel States should
not be admitted to Congress except upon
conditions that will be satisfactory as
guarantees for their future loyalty and the
Union. The only difference between
them is as to the extent of these guaran-
tees, and that is purely a difference of
degree.
