nine-tenths of all we want. No man
is mad enough to imagine that wc

under the policy of free trade.
As the CowicfiJournal remarks, this
' result is a magnificent achievement,
certainly; but nolwdy knows better
than the iVws that it has been gained
at the expense of the people and for the
sole benefit of a few manufacturers,
chiefly in Pennsylvania, to whom Con
gress has sold this gigantic monopoly
or the cash in hand. To enrich half
a dozen men in that State the people
nre conqielled to pay a duty of forty
* dollars per ton on all steel rails that
a-e imported from abroad. And for
i lie want of these rails—few of the
toads cun afford to buy them at the
enormous price imposed by this tariff—
the lives of hundreds ot people are an
nually sacrificed by broken iron rails.
The farmer p*ys three dollars for a

of seven dollars on his purchase. He
is thus forced to pay double price, no

abroad. Protection, nevertheless, is a

The latter should be plowed up every
third year. The Heard’s grass might
be coutinued indefinitely, were it not
that briars, broom sedge and other
wild growth, will spring up and com

rid of them. In the fill! of the fifth
year 1 had the two acres above re
ferred to, turned under with a two-
horse turning plow, and I afterwards

could see the difference to the very

liable crop made on the land where
produced. A word as to the mode of
sowing aud cultivating it. I have
never, in a single instance, failed to
get a good stand, when 1 have sowed
in March, with oats. I prepare my
land thoroughly, then sow the oats and
plow them in, and after they ure plow
ed iji, when 1 would be ready to leave
the field, if I only intended toitkikc an
oat crop, l sow down the clover seed
flpon the fresh plowed land at the rate
of a bushel of clear seed to six acres,
aud brush them in with a branch cut
in the woods near by, haying a heavy
top, which makes a light load for two
horses, running over, covering the
seed and leveling the ground Ss our
fathers formerly did their turnip
patches. A bushel to six or seven
acres is more seed than is usually put
upon the land, but I have fouud it in
the end much the cheapest to put on
enough seed to lie sure to get a good
stand the first of the year. Some ob
ject to covering it with brush, and say
it. does just as well to sow it down on
wheat, or even on land unprepared,
and leave the seed on top of the ground.
If sowed in the snow, on wheat, which
we seldom have here, or sowed in a
very rainy time, this will do, but take
one year with another, and risk the
season, and it is entirely too uncertain.
It is said that the brush covers part of
the seed too deep, and they do not
come up, and that we therefore waste
seed. This may be true, but it leaves
the proper quantity the proper depth
under the ground, and when it comes
up, having some depth of earth, the
root is not so easily killed by the hot
sun as it is when the seed is on the
top of the ground. I find it, there
fore, decidedly best to brush it in. Be
sides it leaves the ground level and iu
good 'order for mowing. The oat crop
is the one to lie looked to for that year,
as we do not expect a crop of clover the
first year. And you should not pas
ture the land the first year unless you
do so very late, say the latter part of
September or first of October.
CLOVER.
Of our ordinary season, the clover
will, the year it is sowed, grow a con
siderable higlit before frost, if the land
is good, and with it will be a good coat
of crab grass and a considerable crop
of weeds. Just before frost I put my
two-horse mower in and cut all this
down and dry it and stack it, and it
makes a fine crop of hay. The stock
will eat ‘all the young clover and the
crab grass and even the tops of the
rag weeds, whdn they arc cut green
and dried with the hay. But not the
least benefit for this course is the fine
>order in which your land is left for
mowing in'the spring. If you do not
around it The next year it was cul
tivated in corn, and the tenant inform
ed me that he could shut bis eyes be
fore he come near the place, and tell
by the looseness of tlie ground, the
moment the plow struck the part that
had been iu clover. The coni crop
was decidedly better on the clover laud
than ou tlie same quality of laud
around it, which had been in wheat
the year before. The third year,
which was last summer, the field was
again sowed in wheat, and I could
have carried you into the edge of the
wheat field, and said “ two acres of
this has been in clover,” aud asked
you to point it out to me without my
indicating the plaae, and you could
have shown me to the very row where
the clover had been, as the wheat on
that part was decidedly taller and
looked better every way. The effect
of the clover, therefore, lias been not
only visible but very marked for three
years after the crop liad been turned
under.

that the large tfry weeds arc very much
in the way and it will be necessary to
employ hands to gather them and pile
them out of the way before you can

THE SOIL BEST ADAPTED.
In reference to the quality ot land
host adapted to its growth, I state that,
in my opinion, it does best upon stiff,
black, rich river bottom, which needs
no manure to moke a good crop. If
you put it on upland aud expect n good
crop, you must manure your land well
before you sow it, and. when, it is once
set with clover, if you cultivate it prop
erly, you may keep it perpetually rich.
If you have poor lands, and wish to
enrich them with clover you must turn
over several successive crops in the
green state, giving them to the land,
and, if you have the patience, in this
way you can soon improve it until it
produce a good crop for use, and uiay
then keep your land rich for tlie fu-
ture. But you need not expect a
heavy crop of clover on poor land, any
more than you may expeola heavy
crop of any other sort
And in this conn ref ion i wish to say
a few words as to the valinS iff the
clover -crop as a manure. We have
heard here a very interesting disciu-

domestic, or barn yard manures, dur

DITCHING AND DRAINAGE.
We have heard some very interest
ing statements here on the subject of
hill-side ditching and drainage. In
my opinion, the very best hill-side
ditch that can be made in this climate
is made of clover and grass and deep
plowing. If you plow your lands deep
and keep your hill sides in clover and
grass, aud use them mostly as pastur
age for your stock, which will pay you
better than any other crop you can put
upon them, you will have no use for
hill-side ditches, aud the deep plowing
and the clover and grass will prevent
any wash.
A SHAME.
I desire to state a fact here which is
reallya shame to the people of Georgia.
The records of the Western and Atlan
tic Railroad show that there was im
ported over tlie road into the State,
during tlie six months from the first
of January to the first of July, 1871,
jn round numbers 33,000 bales of hay.
This was worth about 8200,000. If
the same amount should be imported
for the last half year, it would be, say,
66,000 bales, or 8400,000 worth.—
Every pound of this should be grown
in Middle and Upper Georgia, and if
our friends who raise eotton in the san
dy lands should desire any we should
certainly furnish it to them. I (rust
our people will wake up to this sub
ject. Not only should we raise all our
own bay, but we should raise our own
stock. Where we have our lands set
with grass we can do this - easily and
cheaply. As an illustration: I keep
upon my form neither a mule nor a
horse to aid in doing the work, but I
work mares entirely ; and I have a
jack aud raise mule colts. Last foil,
iu November, I was on ray form in
Gordun county, and my manager.
Captain Finley asked me how he
should treat the colts. I told him to
turn them into the bottom land, upon
a clover field where we had sowed it,
for the winter, and let them run there
as it would support them, and then
give them a plenty of hay and some
corn, if necessary, for the balance of
the winter. The foil hod been a fa
vorable one and the clover was up a
very considerable height, aud thick
over the ground. The winter was not
wet and bqt one really very cold spell
came—about Christmas. The result
was, that there was - enough clover for
them to feed upon all the winter. I
again visited the farm the first of March
and went with Captain Finley to see
my colts, and found them in good grow
ing order, doing well, and he'told me
he had not fed them an ear of corn
during tin? whole wiutcr; that tliey
bad run there upon the clover Add
and nothing else, except that they had
eaten about half a cart load of my seed
clover under the shelter. This was
cut when it was rather dry aud hard
for hay, when the seed got ripe, and
they did not like it; and, indeed, they
had not needed it- They are now go
ing on two years of age, and I do not
expose they know what corn is. A
mule.colt on' a clover form, I find, costs
me less "than a bull yearling to raise.
ed to sow, I had it throwh out with
forks upon tho hard ground near the
barn, and acouple of hands took flails,
such as our fathers formerly used in
threshing wheat and a fen* licks would ■
beat off all the pods from a consider
able bed of hay. That was thrown
aside and another portion thrown down,
and by. continuing in the same way, I
soon had ihcsecd threshed oil tiie entire
quantity. With the sued which grew
off the ten acres, I sowed about sixty
acres the past spring, and got an ex
cellent stand. It wos^owed in the
rough, seed, chaff, and aV from seven
to ten bushels to the acre, on plowed
Lind, sowed in oats and brushed in os
I stated in the case of clean seed. The
seed off ten acres, if I had purchased
it from Kentucky, would luive cost me
about 8100. ^T.-thei^pti recommend
every former, after the- first year, to
save his own seed.. . Buy your seed and
sow the first few acres; then set apart
a portion of the second crop of each
year for seed, and prepare it aud sow
it, as above stated, and.you wiU have
no difficulty about it. You need,
therefore, after the first year, spend
nothing for seed, nor need you spend
any labor on the clover orop, except
the simple labor of cutting and housing
it. This is certainly much better under
the present labor system than our old
habit of breaking up our land, plant
ing corn, and cultivating it all summer,
and pulling the fodder, and then gather
ing tlie corn, hailing it up,‘shucking it
aud throwing it into the crib, aud carry
ing it out in our arms in baskets and
throwing it to our stock. Instead of
a 1 this labor, sow your hillside lands,
sueb as you cannot :wcll mow, turn
your stock upon it jn the summer, and,
unless in case of drought, they will do
well upon it all summer without any
of your labor. Set apart some of
vour best land, bottom, if you have it,
to mow, cut and save tlie crop there
and you have nothing to do but to
throw the hay to the stock with a little
corn, and you can carty them through
safely. There is, therefore, no com
parison between the two crops, so far
as your stock is concerned.
If you will sow a lot iu clover and
grass near your stables, aud will plow
your horses during the summer, giving
them a plenty of clover hay, and allow
them to run in the pasture at night,
with one feed df corn 'each day, you
may keep them in good order and work
them all summer.

E oints. It is evident that the biggest
ind of thieving has been going on,
and that these preliminary trials are
merely breaking the ioe, as it w£re, for
a new dive.
The more the matter is stirred, tho
louder it smells, and we dare say that
before this investigation is over with,
men will be implicated in this far-famed
State robbery who were never suspect-
ed. t
It has certainly thus far developed
the most flagrant and downright rob
bery ever perpetrated upon an honest
folk.

from even meddling with such a thing j
as Tobbery has exposed, are proven to llli| ,VVI> f\

This is emphatically an instance
where thieves have fallen out, and we
are satisfied if honest folks don’t come
by their dues in the matter that they
will see how a great many men, who
have heretofore jutssed as honest and
respectable, have been guilty of the
worst kind of thieving.
The further tlie investigation pro
ceeds the deeper we con see into the
iliainy of this State Road business;
and we predict that when these old
thieves and cheats are forced into day
light that they will bring to the surface
with them a host of miner culprits
whom the world knows nothing of at
preseut, but whose appearance will
cause just indignation among the more
honest and respectable portion of tlie
people whom they have thus flagrantly
aud systematically robbed.

PASTURAGE.
This is not confined to cattle and
horses. A clover field is a most ex
cellent place for your hogs. I set apart
a field for that purpose and have now
from 130 to 140 hogs upon it, and they
have beei^doing well all summer, with
scarcely any corn. When the winter
is very wet, the best plan is to inoye
them off from it to prevent them from
rooting up the laud. They will graze
on tlie green clover all the while, and
it is an excellent food for them. The
cheapest way to make meat in the
country, is toltave agood clover jiasture
for your hogs, and'after you cut your
small grain in the summer, turn them
in for a time and phsture them there.
Taking the two together you need feed
them very little corn until August or
September; then as soon os your corn
is in roasting ear fence off a small piece
at a time (for which Mr. Charles Wal
lace Howard’s portable fence, a model
of whieh is now before the convention
would be very convenient,) and turn
them upon it, or cut it and throw it to
them, stalk and all. They will eat the
ear and chew the cob, the stalk and the
fodder, and it is all nutricious; you
will find it will start'them off to thriv
Ing, growing, amf^ftening as fast as
dry corn, and they get a great deal more
out of a stalk, including the fodder,
ear, etc., than they do out of a dry ear
of corn. In this way, they may be

then feed them a short time upon dry
com, and they are ready for thebutcher.
TURNING UNDER THE CLOVER CROP.
Before I conclude, a word more in
reference to turning under the clover
crop. As alreadytfetated, you do not
pasture it the first: ‘fenr, and your first
crops saved the next spring after it is
sowed. That year you may mow it
twice, and the next year twice. The
third yjear you should cut the first? crop
and save it for hay, and you should
turn the second crop under with a two-
horse turning plow, giving it to the
soil, and either How it in wheat that
foil, which is probably best, orcultivate
it in com the next spring. It should
not stand, more than three years with
out being turned under as the fourth
year’s crop will not be a very good one,
and the wild growth and broom sedge
will become troublfcome by the fourth
year. I may also remark that the first
crop cut in each. year,, which,
Cherokee, Georgia, is ready for the
mower about the last of May, is much
the brat for hay/ The second crop
will make your horses slobber, though
the hay is very good for cattle. The
proper time to mow tlie crop is when it
is in full bloom and a few of the blooms,
here and there, of tho earliest, are be
ginning to fade preparatory to the
ripening of the seed. The old theoiy

President Grant’s Farm.
A correspondent of the Central Bap
tist, after visiting President Grant’s
farm, u tew miles from St Louis, Mo.,
says he was “ received by Mr. Eldrod,
a relative of the President’s, who is
intrusted by him with the superintend
ance of property valued at not less than
8300,000. The farm includes with
recent purchases, 869 acres, mostly
r jlling land.” After the brilliant des
criptions that have been .recently
published of Mr. Tweed’s Connec
ticut palace, aud the island homes of
Messrs. Garvey, Ingersoll, Keyser, and
the other magnates of the Republican
Democratic New York Court-house
ring, the enthusiasm of the Baptist’s
description of the President’s blooded
stock, luxuriant arboriculture, and
other items which make up the $300,-
000, read quite natural.
President Grant went into the army
not worth a cent, and lias lived quite
freely ever since. His horses, equip
ages, &c„ are the theme of admiring
descriptions from correspondents not
only at Washington but at Long
Branch, and wherever else he takes up
his temporary abode. It is therefore
quite consolatory to find that out of
his not excessive salary, first as Gen
eral and now as President, he is able
to keep S300.000 worth of blooded
stock and such like property idle on a
Missouri form. Politics appears to
pay much the saraein the White House
at Washington as in the new Court
House at New Yori^, The boss poli
tician is evidently bound to be the mil
lionaire of the period. He has found
the secret hinted at in the Scripture
passage, “ There is that scattereth, and
yet increaseth.” These boss politici
ans, whether called Supervisors or
Presidents, contrive to five at the hi
ghest point of luxury, and on moder
ate salaries, and yet to roll up riches.
