The New. York Times, radical journal,
says: "The policy pursued by congress for
the last two years will inevitably end in a
practical reputation of the public debt, and
it is just as well for the country to under
stand this FIRST as last. And the danger is
that this policy always will be pursued"

WEIGHTS TO THE BUsHEL.

CLOVER SEED.-We believe,
says the Rural New Yorker,
that crop of clover seed ta-
ken from the land exhausts the
soil more than a crop which is
cut for hay. Any seed crop, it
is we'll known, is more exhaus-
tive than a mere fodder crop
One strong reason for cutting
timothy for hay early, is to, re-
move it from the soil before it
has distracted those elements
which form the seed. 1t i'm
poverishes the soil much less
than if cut later. The first
growth of clover is not general
ly disposed to seed much; hence
it is not so exhaustive as other
grasses if cut late. But the
second crop, which bears the
seed, is injurious to the land
at least the taking it away is.
Unless remuneration is made to
the soil it will pay better to let
the second growth of rot on the
land, or feed it off.
