men’s particular callings, studies, and profes

of thinking.
Frederick the Great, whose prirtcipol
deal for many years was in the lives and
blood of men—in one of his battles, hap
pening to turn his heart round, lie saw
his nephew, the hereditary Prince, fall
to the. ground, his horse being killed un
der him. The Koyal uncle, thinking
liis kinsman and heir was shot, exclaimed
without stopping—“ Ah ! there’s the
Prince of Prussia killed ; let his saddle
and bridle be taken care of!”
Anacharsis Cloots, a vain anil imputa
tions Materialist, while he was standing
before the guillotine, requested the ex
ecutioner to let him suffer the last of the
parly, because he was desirous of making
a few observations upon Materialism as
their heads fell.
Fabre d’Kglantine was an author : and
When going to the guillotine, one of the
things which seemed most to trouble him
was, that lie had left tin unpublished co
medy among his papers, and mistrusted
that ilillaud Varenucs would publish it
as his own.
A young surgeon when first beholding
the avenues of the temple of Juggernaut
itrewed with sculls and human bones,
instead of being struck with horror ut
the spectacle, he exclaimed with rap
ture, “0 what a glorious study is here !”
On a time not very long past, when the
tyowpox was coming into general use in
England, it met with most violent opposi
tion from physicians employed in the
imall pox inoculation, of whom one gave
it as a serious reason for continuing in the
old way, that in the populous part of
London, where the abundance of children
exceeds the means of prov iding food and
raiment for them, the small pox ought to
lie considered as a merciful provision of
providence to lessen the burthen of a
poor man's family.
Laborde, a commercial man, who was
connected with a trading house iti Paris,
tn his work entitled “ A View of Spain,”
very naturally remarks,—*• General o-
pmion considers the reign of Charles 1.
as the most brilliant period in the annals
of Spain; for that was the epoch when
the exportation of cloths, and other stuffs
commenced.”
An Englishman travelling in Holland,
expressed by an interpreter, to an emi
nent merchant there, his regret, that not
understanding the language, lie was una
ble to enjoy the pleasure of his company :
—to which the Dutchman coldly replied,
’‘.Since having no connexion or dealing
in trade together, our conversing could
not possibly answer any useful purpose.”

Great, while the superlative of hum ...
greatness he confidently attributes to far

There is no record of such a mail exist

tuve.. Tin- period has indeed arrived in the
I nited States, particularly in that part cast
of the lllue Ridge; when the cull iv atom of
the soil, should begin tn preserve tln ir re
maining wood laud, and improve that, which
has been cut down and exhausted. The no-
ee-sitv of such a course has been hut little
attended to in this state, mid from jour re
marks, perhaps as little so in yours. From
the exertions of such societies, however, a
spirit may he aroused, which may be pro
ductive of much good. Von observed, that
you had hern informed, that considerable
improvements hat e In on made in this coun
ty ; and, that from a detailed statement of
tneopcralirfWs on my farm, you expected to
receive some hints, that might be useful to
your society. lain not aware, from what
source,Tour information tvas derived, but 1
feel confident that from the pen of a plain
farmer, forced by necessity to change n bad
systehl of culture, that but lilt!" light can be
afforded to the. subject. With pleasure,-how
ever, I w ill render all the service in my power
By a mode of cultivation, the reverse of
what was formerly practised, Ike products
of the soil have bf-eit greatly Increased in
when ruin falls it does not run off so rapidly
hut soaks into the soil on the level above each
row, and is there longer retained,and conse
quently, the crop is less liable to injury from
drought than that planted in the iimi.iI way,
where tho water quickly passes oil dow n the
row s.
Till! advantages of plaster of paris as a ma
nure, are no longer considered doubtful in
this section of country. Il is almost univer
sally used in corn crops, as in these its effects
are speedy and profitable. It operates on
all kinds of soil hern, almost equally well,
but ill what way, is not easy to tell. It is
also generally used on red clover, and its ef
fect on this grass may he considered as the
greatest means of improvement, in this see-
lion of country. The land oil w hich Indian
corn is raised, is sown down in wheat or rye,
and in the succeeding spring it should be
sown in red clover. The proper time for
sowing clover seed depends much on the
season. Clovi r is liable to be destroyed
while young, by severe cold, by inserts, and
warm dry weather: there is, however, more
to fear from warm drought, than from cold
Fro n experience, 1 am sati -lu-d that the
way. Tim straw nf clover, cut for seed, ia
also an excellent manure, and from some
experiments, 1 am satisfied this same hull, is
equal to the best stable manure.—The high
prince of clover seed, makes that article a
considerable item in tin expenses of a farm ;
as it is generally necessary for it to be sowed
every tune after the land is cultivated. For
a few yeas past, 1 have gathered the heads
of clover with a small micliine, and sown it
in that state. Were farmers to adopt this
plan generally, they could gather enough
seed, without the necessity of cleaning it,
which requires much labour. The machine,
is a box-like frame, about I feet wide, ii feet
long, and 1 foot deep, open before with a
comb of wood, iron or steel attached to tilt
floor of the box, w ith teeth about twelve in
ches long. This frame is fixed upon two
small wheels, with a handle behind to ele
vate or depress the comb, agreeable to tile
height of the clover. A horse is harnessed
before the comb, and tin: frame is drawn
along taking off the heads of the clover in
its progress.
Though red clover Is preferable for pasture
to any grass wc have, yet 1 do not think it
possesses those advantages for hay. It is
very apt tn fall before it is fit to cut, to tin
open by frost and h fore rain settles it. But I and i a-y to break k. waste, after being cured,

Bear Sir; Your communication dated
the 5th .ultimo, has lately licet) received, re-
questing information on the practice of agri-
• •culture, m tins county. With an ardent de-
are for the advancement oHcnowledge in the
cultivation of the soil, the most necessary b
t e most Interesting of all human pursuits ; I
v nil comply with your request, as far as my
limteil experience and observation, and ray
fr. hie abilities will admit. J regret however,
that I shall be so little able to do iustice to
the sohjeet. J
I rejoice In learn, that societies, such as
"wtt bp which jrou belong, arc forming, and
kinds of stock however arc i xtremcly partial
to it. Win n sown with orchard grass, they
form, 1 believe, the best upland crop for hay.
Tlie-e two produce, a heavy crop in good
upland, are easily cured, and stock arc a.-
partial to the hay as to that of clover alone
But for liav, timothy is much to he preferred
on a lev, I clayey soil, without sand. In this
section the crops of hay produced from it,
are greater than from any oilier grass, and in
quality inferior to none.
The effect of plaster of paris, on the soils
here, where it lias been used is not very dis-
fernahle. I am however, induced to believe
that it gradually stiffens the soil, which is
here light and triable, thereby rendering il
but ter for w heat; hilt this is only con jecture :
time and greater observation are necessary
to establish this opinion. We know that
plaster of parks, operates ns a most powerful
manure, and without knowing tlie precise
manner in w hich it operates, we continue its
use as a great means of fertilization.
Since the introduction of clover and plas
ter, the cut worm-has sometimes been very
destructive to the corn in the spring, particu
larly in cold seasons. Several experiments
have bet n made, which go to prove, that by
planting corn in land well broken the prece
ding f;II, their ravages will lie mostly pre-
vented. By ploughing in the fall, the insects
are exposed to the frost of winter, and per
ish before t lie coruis planted. Before. I close
1 will mention a little experiment 1 made a
year or two since. It is generally seen that
eorn, wheat, or any crop will not flourish
near a fence of woods ; and that for a con
siderable distance, nothing of importance
w ill grow. Impressed with the belief that
the land adjoining the w nods, was exhausted
■by the roots of the trees, and that the crop
was seldom injured'hy the shade alone, lent
a ditch on the east side ol a piece of tall
woods, deep enough to cut nil the horizontal
roots, and several hundred yards long ; and
1 have been gratified to observe that the pro
duct of tlie field was as good up to the very
hank of the ditch, as in any other part of the
field, though it was shaded near half of tin-
day. 1 am so well satisfied with the result
ol this experiment, that 1 shall repeat it in
every situation that may require it.
J have thus endeavoured in my poor way
to give you all the. information in my power
the points requested, though without sys
tem and unconnected. Wishing your society
success in the objects of their pursuit, and
hoping that you may render service to tlie
xicultural interest,

JOHN S. SLAUGHTER.
George JK Jeffreys, Esq,
this section of country. This improvement best time for sowing, is when the earth is I injury id the hay : it is difficult to cure well
in agriculture, was brought about by a state
of things, similar to that you mentioned as
existing with you. The previous modes
were not only unprofitable to the cultivators,
but highly destructive to the soil itself. To
bacco wax followed by Indian com, wheat
succeeded, repeated crops of corn fi wheat
followed, till the soil was exhausted, ti more
woodland was cleared to supply the. loss, till
there was but little more timber to spare.—-
It became appart nt to reflet ling minds, tlint
this course of cultivation could not long con
tinue, and unless a change was effected, that
an emigration to the fertile lands of the west,
could only save them from extreme poverty .
Such was the situation of luy farm in
common with my neighbors, when about 1
years since, I commenced a system, which
though it may have many objections, has
been of infinite advantage'ln me. Before. I
proceed to give you a sketch of that syst. in,
it will be proper to gin you an idea of the
country where it is practised. The Blue-
llidge runs thu whole length of Ibis stat-- Si
hounds the county of Culpeper, n conside
rable distant e on its northwestern side. For
about thirty miles below the ridge, the land
is i-uiw deraldy uneven, broken here ii there
with small mountains, and though not rich,
yet well repays the cultivator for his indus
try. In this section of country I reside, and
my remarks are. intended to apply to that
section only, with which 1 am well acquaint
ed. I will here observe, that the impove
rishment of the soil, was here rapidly has
tened by the wretched mode of cultivating
Indian corn. Notwithstanding the uneven
ness of the land, it was the universal custom
to plough shallow up and down the hills, £c
thus exposed, the soil was inevitably washed
away i.i large quantities lit' every hard rain,
it hieli fell during the season of cultivation.
I commenced by dividing my farm into
four fields or shifts ; one of tliese I put in in-
dian corn each year. With this system I
commenced deep ploughing, which could
only be done on this uneven surface, by
ploughing round the hills, as nearly in a ho
rizontal direction, as lh-: situation would ad
mit. This mode of ploughing possesses ad
vantages, which do not appear at first sight.
By ploughing round a hill, the friction a-
gaiust the mould hoard is considerably less,
ami consequently favored hy the descent a
greater turf may he turned than the plough
v ill cut, mid with more ease than on n level.
The hind being well broken in the spring,
the com is planted in nearly a similar man
ner, by rows listed horizontally to suit the.
shape ofthe hills. There are lint few situa
tions in this section of country, that will ad
mit of cross ploughing in the cultivation of
indian corn, without great danger from se
vere washing rains. This system did not ob
tain general use for some time in this neigh
borhood, under the supposition, that it re-,
quired more hoe work than the old mode :
but this objection has nearly ceased, as it sa
tisfactorily appears, that the additional quan
tity of hoe work required, is very small,end
• lie advantages arising from washings being
thereby prevented, is great indeed. This
mode of cultivating corn, I understand, is
extensively practised in the country of Albe
marle, Virginia, where it was first introduc
ed hy Col. Thomas M. Randolph, at no dis
tant period ; as I never beard of it in that
county, till long since 1 practised it on my
own farm ; and it is really surprising that
the necessity of such a method did not soon
er appear, and obtain general use. My mode
of planting com is somewhat singular. The
land, after being well broken with barshare
ploughs, is listed in the horizontal manner.
I have before mentioned, that in doing this,
some judgment and experience are necessa
ry to lay it off in the best possible manner,
so as to avoid every direction that would
tend to convey the water, so as to be liable
to wash. Each hoer is accompanied Ivy a
small hoy with a basket of corn, soaked and
well rolled in plaster of paris. The hoer
then opens a small hole in the list, (or where
the land is well broken a small single furrow
answers very well) the hoy that accompa
nies him throws :n the corn, and it is imme
diately covered; another hole is then made
at a proper distance, which the hoer will
soon learn to judge of, by a measure on the
hoelielve, the boy throws in the corn, it is
quickly covered, And so they proceed. This
method may scorn tedious, hut in practice 1
have found that corn can be planted in as
sliurt a time, asSti any other way. The
crossing of the lists is saved, and this saving
makes up for the diffcrtnoe, if any, in plant
ing in the usual way. f
After planting the cort), I seldom inter
rupt it till tlie first ofjmjf, unless to harrow
down tile clods, not yet dissolved after the
spring ploughing; or to chop down bushes
not cut by the plung 1 - Land, well broken
in the spring, does not require the corn to be
cultivated sooner in this climate. In tending
the corn. 1 use what we call shovel ploughs,
vv ilhout coulters, which are immediately fol
lowed hy harrows, which lay the surliee le
vel and lessens the dangerfrom heavy wash
ing rains. I have often remarked, that on.
land levelled by the harrow, large quantities
of water in heavy rains will spread over the
surface, without carrying oft' the soil, which
would have certainly been the ease, had the
surface been left uneven after the ploughing.
I never plough my corn more than twice,
followed hy tlie harrow, and often but once,
with^k additional dressing with cultivating
linrroWaalone.* These IBtiave bread teetii

fixedjb plough stocks, instead ofthe. plough
in cultivating com, and hy following with
the harrow, the soil is completely pulveri
zed, without exposing it to the powerful ac
tion of the sun. The draft is also less, and
when the corn is not grassy, I would strongly
recommend their use in preference to the
as a means of fertilization, depend mostly on
the effects produced unit by plaster of paris.
These are indeed very great, wild I much
doubt whether it were not better to sow
plaster on land not exhausted, tor pasturage,
than to sow clover seed without plaster.—In
the first instance a luxuriant crop of white
closer w ill spring up, in the next case do
lor will fluiiridi in few situations. But with
a dressing of half a l.uslu I or a bushel of
plaster per acre, most sods, will here produce
a most luxuriant crop. For pasturage, w e
have no grass that can he compared with it,
{-.id a light dressing of plaster the second
year after it is sow u, w ill he of great sen ice.
Vs pasturage, it is equally advantageous to
horses, cattle, sheep and hog> except that
the second crop cau-es horses to slaver very
much. To no kind of stuck is it more aer-
tiecab’e, than to hogs.—Where there is
plenty of clover, it it seldom necessary to
feed hogs from May till October; and in a
good clover field, they will tlrrive faster than
on corn. In the raising of hogs it is impor
tant, that they should he alw ays kept grow
ing, mid this is cheaper and better done-in
a lidil nfelover, than in any other way, that
has come under my notice. Distillers in
this section of country, w ho generally turn
their attention much to tlie raising of hogs,
cultivate clover as the .principal support of
their large stocks in the warm season, lings
are apt to keep so fat >>n clover, that it is
frequently difficult to rear pigs on that ac
count. 1 have hitherto sowed my wheat,
principally after corn, and 1 have generally
succeeded pretty well. But after great crops
of eorn. which under the system 1 have
practised, my land now generally produces,
1 find that very large crops of wheat cannot
reasonably be expected.
1 have lately began in addition, to sow
wheat on clover lays. This has been con
siderably practised in my neighborhood and
with a success highly gratifying. We fal
low our clover land fin wheat in August and
September. Wc use no cross ploughing;
but with largo harrows, the soil is pulverized,
the wheat sown, and then harrowed or
ploughed in, late in September. The late
ravages of the Hessian Fly, make it unsafe
to sow earlier. The experience of this sec
tion of country, is much in favour of fallow
ing clover laud for wheat at this season. It
season of more leisure, and the product
is greater, than oil land fallow ed in .he spring
and crossed afterwards. In ploughing land, if
the improvement of tho soil be the essential
object, and this should be the object of every
fanner, the great r the growth of vegetable
matter ploughed in, the greater will be the
improvement of the soil; but experience fa
vours the belief, that wheat will succeed bel
ter after the turning over a hare sward of
grass, than of the most luxuriant crop. This
is a subject that well dese rves the attention
ofthe agriculturist, and I merely throw out
the hint, as worthy of notice.
As I observed before, my farm is divided
into four shifts. Perhaps where putting in
wheat on clovi r lays is much practised, live
would be better; the size of any farm, how
ever does not admit it; but under tho sys
tem I have mentioned of cultivating my land,
once in four years in corn, and following
with wheat and clover, my farm has greatly
improved. On land which, when I commen
ced the system was scarcely worth cultiva
ting ; I have for eight or nine years, averaged
nearly : ix barrels of corn to the acre; and
the two last seasons, which have been very
favorable, I shall have averaged at least nine
barrels, per acre.—Wheat on corn land, lias
produced from ten to twenty bushels ; after
sowing crops of corn, tho best w heat suc
ceeds. On good laud fallowed in August
and September, from fifteen to twenty-five
bushels may !»■ expected.
You :i“k is deep ploughing much practised,
and what ate its advantages. Deep plough
ing is becoming much more general every
day, and this is greatly facilitated by the use
of cast iron mould boards, which are now
generally used here. By a little use they
become bright and smooth, the obstruction
is consequently less, and deep ploughing is
more easy. The advantages of deep plough
ing in corn crops, are very great. The deep
er the soil is ploughed the greater may be
tlie quantity of corn planted on an acre, or
any given quantity, and the crop thereby
greatly encreased. At the commencement
of mysystem of fanning, my eorn was plan
ted about six feet by three. I now plant it
cm tlie same land, five feet by two, in many
places nearer, with two stalks in the hill, be
ing near double as close as formely, and the
crops are nearly in tlie same proportion.
1 have already stated my impression, that
as a means of improving the soil, and for
pasturage, that red clover is superior to any
other grass amongst ns. On this, with plas
ter of paris, we principally rely for fertili
zing our land, when aided hy deep plough
ing.— But mui li may be and ought to be
done, by a careful attention to making and
applying manure. In addition to manure
front my stable, 1 pound ray cattle near my
stack yard, adjoining a row of pens, in which
wheat straw is nicely stacked up, so that
the cattle can cut as much as they choose,
and frequently Straw and corn husks, are
spread over the pound, and after being pick
ed over liv the stock, arc trodden down and
incorporated with the other manure, and
add greatly to its quantity. I have also for
a few years past, drawn a considerable quan
tity of corn stalks to the same place, wine’
are also picked, then trodden to pieces, and
converted to manure in the same wav ; and
I am strongly of opinion that as materials fn
manure, that eorn stalks are greatly supe
rior to wheat straw; were the practice gene
rally adopted, of penning and feeding cattf
on exhausted spots of laud, after being cm
• 'red well with corn stalks, they would lie
