The experiments of Dr. (Janes, however, settlethat question be- that it might be sure not to be pastur ed the first year. With the clover I sowed some Heard’s grass seed.

No man is mad enough to imagine that wc could ever have achieve this result 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 1 ockct knife made at Sheffield, Eng land, which, l«it for the protection to the New England manufiicturer of leaden-bladed cutlery, he could buy for two dollars. And we are forced in the -an e way to pay from two to five prices for everything we use, whether made of steel, iron, wool or what not. Tha farmer on tlie banks of the Niaga ra river pays fourteen dollars for a ^ilow made at his door. On the oppo site side of the river he can buy the wune plow for just half that sum; but the American plow-maker nulst have protection,”and so, before the farmer «m bring his Canadian plow across the l ridge, he is compelled to pay a duty of seven dollars on his purchase. He is thus forced to pay double price, no matter whether he buys at home or abroad. Protection, nevertheless, is a splendid thing, as the Philadelphia Pi«k> will 1.11 ynn It keeps millions of people poor; but then, it mokes fe’w people very rich; and as there is no telling how soon we, the people at large, may take it into our heads to become bloated New England or Penn sylvania manufacturers ourselves, we would be worse than fools to complain.

I ain satisfied our people are neg lecting their best interests when they neglect to cultivate largely of grasses, as it takes scarcely any labor to make the gra-s crop, and it is the most val- i 1 bat where the clover had lieen was from 12 to 18 indies higher than that A Charleston (6. C.) correspondent of the Richmond (Ky.) Messenger thus . alludes to political affairs in the old Palmetto State: “ Four-fifths of the members of the Lcgislaturearenegroes, who have made from three to a hundred thousand do! lura each. The Lieutenant-Governor and Secretary of State are mulattoes, and three out of the four members of Congress range in color from a bottle of ink to a dirty piece of sole-leather. One of the Associate Justices of the Supreme Bench is so black that a chalk mark on his philanthropic physiogno my would look like a light-house in a fog, while the ponderous gravity with which he listens to the learned .argu ments of the really learned men of the •■'tate, who are forced to appear before . him, has its equal only in that ridicu lous soda ten ess with which vou have seen a monkey catch fleas. The lead er of the Legislature is a Michigan ne gro, whose linguistic oilness quickly brought him to the dingy surface, and there he still floats in vanity and wealth. . He is called the “Bbck Prince,' and lives in style about seven miles from Charleston, owns twenty horses and mules, with handsome carriages to l>oot; drives with a footman, aim fires si bottle or two of champagne with lavish lmnd to every sight-seer who has si curiosity to visit an eboi own home. grass will stand longer than the clover. 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 pel you to cultivate the land to get 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 sowed it, as I did the corn landnround it, in wheat. The following spring, whta tlie wheat was maturing, you could see the difference to the very iow, from a very considerable distance. 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. The New York Herald anticipates a v >ry serious dissurbancc of old parly organizations, and perhaps onr exist ing social conditions, hv the Labor Reform movement It perceives in it Ibc elements of a great revolution, ar raying labor against capital, refers to its influence in the late New Hamp shire election, and to its probable fuller exhibition of strength in the approach ing Massachusetts election; and con cludes: “In any event, after Novem- lier, 1872, we shall have the beginning of a new jiolitical agitation in this country which will hardly stop short of the greatest and ' most radical and sweeping revolution -in the history of the world, and we shall bo fortunate If we escape another .general civil war in passing through this approaching rev olution.

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- -sion on the subject of commercial aud domestic, or barn yard manures, dur ing which many very valuable sugges- 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.

Agts wanted General Gartrell aud Barton Thrasher were eloquent in the defense. The discussion developed no new 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. Men, whom everybody was willing to believe were lioncst, and who were far from even meddling with such a thing j as Tobbery has exposed, are proven to llli| ,VVI> f\ be rascals of the first water. ^ V w 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.

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 »P.«>ag«*hering time.aqd 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.

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. —N.
