To the PubUc.
IROAIthe extensive circulation given to a mal'ci-
thq other grasses, not only for soiling, pas-
ami hay, but for the improvement of the
soil, and its efficacy in withstanding the drought,
would require a greater scope than my intend*
cd limits would permit. I shall therefore brief
ly confine myself to those facts which havo
been tested by experience and evinced by
practice—feeling confident that every farmer
will be induced to make an experiment so va
luable for his stock and the melioration of his
soil.
The red and while clovers are the only sorts
known in American tillage. As to the wild
sort with a rough leaf, it is of no value. Ano
ther species called lupinclla, has lately been
introduced in Maryland imported from Italy.
It is thought that this will be a valuable acqui
sition to our grasses.
The nutritive matter contained in-the red
clover, renders it particularly advantageous for
the soiling system, as well as for hay, and far
preferable to the white which is generally too
short for mowing, unless mixed with other gras
ses, which it is said will make it grow to a
greater length.
Red clover is esteemed for coming in the
spring nearly a month before other grass; con
sequently it is of infinite value for feeding
oung cattle and early lambs. It brings in the
earing cows to milk, and puts them in vigor
and health before calving, purges calves/ and
makes them wholesome, and prevents the
poaching of pastures, by furnishing food ’for
your cattle, until the grass is of sufficient length
to make the ground firm.
Clover will thrive luxuriantly in any but wet
soil. It prefers a light sandy or loamy soil,
and- will with the assistance of plaster, thrive
well upon gravels. A light top dressing should
be given early in the spring. On tenacious
soils, a small quantity of lime or soot would be
preferable, but on light land the effect of gyp
sum is astonishing, (three pecks of wh£fi for a
top dressing is sufficient to the acre.)
Sinclair’s remarks on tho cultivation npd ga
thering of clover, are worthy tho attention of
every farmer. He says, “To ensure a good
crop. Clover may be eaten off till tho first of
May by sheep, and about three weeks after the
hay is taken off they must be put on again.—
For pastures other grassy must he mixed.—
Clover must be mown before tho seed is form
ed; after being cut, tho clover should remain
in tho swarth until it is dried about two-thirds
its thickness; it is then not strewed, but turned
over; the hay should be as little shaken or scat
tered about as possible.”
After frequent repetitions clover fails; on a
soil it will last throq years; from the first crop
(especially on highly manured or rich land)
there is no seed worth gathering, tho herbage
or stalks bei^ too thick; the second crop
grows more even and comes sooner to ma
turity; tho successive crops deteriorate every
yoar, until clioaked with weeds or grass.
To cultivate clgver with success, the ground
should be ploughed and cross ploughed, liar-
rowed with U heavy harrow and cleaned of
stones and weeds; the seeds should bo planted
in early spring with grain; writers on agricul
tures give the preference to flax; from six to
ten quarts may bo sown to the acre; there is
fio danger of it being too thick; the seeds
should be harrowed in with a light harrow, the
teeth of which should not exceed six inches in
length. . The advantages in sowing clover thick
are—first, its attaining a groat length—second,
tho plants are more viscous and succulent—
third, the stalk not being exposed to the sun,
duct of its cultivation on one acre, viz; three
ton s of hay, and SO 1-2 bushels of clean seed.
*‘Tho seed, when manufactured into flour,
makes a cake more wholesome and equally pal
atable with buck wheat.”—It may he sown
from jlio first of May to tho 20th o/June.or e-
ven later, v Quantity of seed about one bushel
to the acre. Col. Powel, of Pennsylvania,
says, “Millet succeeds best on light land, and
requires as much strength of soil as oats. I
have not seen either in Europe or America,
any green crop which so largely rewards accu
rate tillage and plentiful supplies of manure. I
have sown it from tho first of May to the 2<Mb
of June, and have invariably obtained more
fodder than could havo been had from any grass
under similar circumstances.” In another com
munication ha says, “Millet should never be
grown upon land which is not in good condition
and very fine tilth. The seods should bo light
ly covered by a harrow with wooden teeth and
after rolled. Of thirty acres upon whicli my
last crop was grown, I tried various experi
ments. The field which was the most lightly
harrowed was the most productive. I om led
to beliovo however necessary the harrow is in
all cases, to properly covor the seeds, yet in few
is it used with sufficient-care, or in a fit shape.—
Excepting winter grains, I know no seeds
which are not, I think usually too dcoply buried

by exposure, and for its own support—fourth,
the soil is improved, the plant retaining tho dew
and sheltering the earth from the sun which
absorbs its richness.
I would ndv ; se sowing a small proportion of
strong stemmed grass, (when intended for hay,)
as clover requires sheitor when young, as well as
after it has acquired its full length, being apt to
lodge. If you sow it with winter grain, it would
bo well to sow ono half your seed with the
wheat, and the other half in a slight frost in
February, it being apprehended that it grows
so fast as to injure the growth of the wheat.—
More seed is required when sown with spring
than winter grain. Soils also require more or
less seed in proportion tu their richness: poor
soils require the less.
The seed should be plump, of a deep pur
ple, which is the surest indication of their per
fect ripeness (being a faint color when unripe.)
Seed if ripe, will readily shed from the husk
when rubbed. Lord Kaimos observes, “(bat
clover should bo exposed to the sun an hour or
two before tho flail is applied.”
White clover is indigenous in almost every
section of our country,, but appears more on
some soils than others; swino thrivo well on
white clover, but care should be taken to have
them well rung, before turned into pasture.—
[Wire passed twico or thrice through tho snout
and fastened, to proyentthem from rooting.]
For permanent pastures, use on low lands
(ant to be overflowed,) and on salt marshos, a
third while clover mixed with two*thirds rye
grass, or meadow-fox-tail (herd’s grass) whicli
prefers a moist soil, and it is particularly grate
ful to cattle; the roots are so much malted, as
to form a hard surface not easily poached.—
This grass'is a native, and produces larger
crops than any other of our common grasses; it
grows tall, and thrives well on any kiml of
soil except sand and gravel, more especially*
umjfcr a northern climate. It should be cut
wbon just out of blossom. , NUMA.

' < MASONIC.
Frcomasonry is an institution of very re
mote origin. It is the offspring of every clime,
and lias flourished in every part of the world.
With its origin we dato tho birth of Science^ in
its march wo trace the progress of civilization:
audinits train wo mark Truth, Charity, and
Benevolence. With heavenly aspect it looks
abroad upon tho scenes of human life; leads
Charity to the door of poverty; dashes tho cup
of misery to the ground; and as the ministering
angel of heaven, casts round the woild an equal
eye, and feels for all that lives. Charity is the
brightest ornament of the Masonic edifice; ii is
the main pillar of our institution; it is the com
mon property of a Mason and his God. ^Chari;
ty warms and expands the heart, and enriches
it with feelings of the most unlimited sympathy
and benevolence; and byrubbingoffthat world
ly rust,which would collect around it nnd corrode
the feelings, renders it familiar with the most ex-
quisito sensations. It is Charity that teaches the
soul its origin: which intuitively familiarizes it
with heaven; aud inspires it with divine hope
of immortality. s ' 1 7* ’ . /.
Benevolenco is also a star in the Masonic
firmament; it cultivates a good understanding
between men, and dissipates the rancorous feel
ings which would make a wreck of brotlioriy
love. . Men in all stations, both high and low,
arc equally Capablo of Benevolenco; for its lit
eral signification is well doing. It is the lot
of Benificence to administer to tho needy cup
of humanity; it is (ho lot of Benevolence to
show mercy to the limits of others: to possess
the mind with feelings of compassion and a just
toleration. Pope prayed for a benevolent dis
position in the following lines: '
Teach me to feei another's wo,
To hido the fault I ice,
That mercy I to others show,
That merey show to mo.
The Wise and good men in every age have
been the supporters of Freemasonry; and the
ignorant and prejudiced havens universally per
secuted it. Born in the first beam of intellect
ual light with the scroll of scicnco in its hand,
we find in it tho earliest ages illuminating tho
east and unfolding the misteries of knowledge.—
Its progress was regular from tho first astrono
mers on the plains of Chaldea, through the wise
and mystic circles of Egypt, to the sages and
philosophers of Greece and Romet In its train
uo discover philosophers, law-givers priests and
senators; Pythagoras, Solon, Euclid, Phocion,
and Confucius. It tamnd the spirit of thd fu
rious demagogues and taught its disciples the
tcicnce of freo government. Sparta furnishes
a government fully illustrative of its- practical
effect even upon the most hardy of the human
species.
That it has had enemies is not surprising^
for oxperienco of tho present day proves thiit
any institution, calculated to diffuse a spirit of
liberality and equality, will receive opposition
from despotism, It has been pursued and scour
ged, and men havo boon been tortured upon
tho rack for obeying its principles; but when
persecuted almost to destruction, like the Ara-
thusa, it has arisen in -a distant clime, and
breathed the air of instinct and freedom.

Baltimore and St. Louts.—Distant asit may ,
appear to some, wo think it not at all improba
ble/that those two poinss are destined to be
come more Immediately connected in commer
cial intercourse, than St. Louis and Now Or
leans are at present. The whole of the stock
for the completion of the projected Rail Road
from Baltimore to the Ohio River, Ins been ta
ken, and there is no longer a doubt hut this
magnificent work will bo accomplished with all ^
possible despatch. The practicability of this
truly grout undertaking, and tho facility wiih
which it appears it may bcaccomplishpd,induces
us t* believe tho Baltimore rail load will be ex
tended through one of the most fertile countries
iu the world to the banks of the Mississippi,
opposite St.' Louis. Wio seo nothing which
forbids the hope that this may not bo realized.
It is supposed the road will terminate on tho
Ohio river, at the mouth of tho Little Ken-
hawa, opposite the town of Marietta, a distance
from Baltimore of about 250 iniies. Fiom
that point by tho most direct and practicable
route to this place, it is supposed the distance
will not exceed 500 miles; making the whole
extent of the rail road from Baltimore to St.
Louis 750 miles. -This by the aid of tho loco-
motivo steam waggous, would bring us nigherto
Baltimore than to any other great commercial
point, tutd would necessarily draw a great pro
portion of the wealth of the magnificent Valley
of the Mississippi, immediately to the Chesa
peake Bay. The consummation of this object is
of tho greatest importance, not only to tho
western country, but to the city of Baltimore.
New Orleans at present, may bo said to mono
polize die wliolo trade of the west, which New
York expects to divide with her, through tho
Illinois nnd Michigan canal; but if the rail road,
should be extended-to St, Louis, Baltimore will
come in fur a full share of our commerce,
and indeed, taking tho whole western country
into consideration, may secure more than ei
ther of the other paints.—St. Louis (Missouri) v

As illustrative, wc mention, on the authority
of Niles’ Register, that an elegant broad cloth
power loom of New York manufacture, was
shipped last month fur England, for 000 of.tho
Leeds factories. Some machinery, made by
Mr. Gilbert Brewster, which had boen sont, by
drdcr to Prussia, has been so much appruved
of, that he has received fresh orders for the
supply of a number of his own machines and
other machinery. •
Another singular fact has come to our know- '
ledge. Some of the celebrated carding ma
chines invented by Mr. Whiltomore, of Cam
bridge, Massachusetts, were sent to England
and France, with most explicit directions for
putting them up, with drawings, &c» No me
chanics could bo found in either country who
could put them together, and they were obliged
to send to Boston for a man to go out and put
them up,
A Curiosity.—-A few months since, in re
pairing the venerable Cathedral of Glasgow,
which hits been standing- for more than, seven
hundred years, ono of the I irgcst timbers of the
roof was removed, and from a piece of it nt> in
genious Scotchman made a snuffbox, and sent
it as a present to his friend in New York. On
tho lid of tho box is the following Curious in
scription:
“Respect me for what 1 havo been. TI10
time was when I was a young and hopeltil
plant of nature. In the course of years 1 be
came tall and the birds of ihe air were happy
under my shadow, aud relumed me the sweet
est notes for the protection I afforded them.—
By the hand of man I was cut down, and stript
of nature’s robes, and became an Arch in the
Cathedral of Glasgow, and for upwards of
seven hundred years have been a covor to the
teachers in that sanctuary. I also scroeucd a-
like the saint nnd the sinner from the stormy
blast, but now I sm an outcast from the House
of God, and have become a gazing stock in tho
hands of man, and a part ol my romaias luvo
been converted into this snuff-box.”
