| i - The Farm amd:Mongeholdzy Raising Clover Seed. - - The writer was born and bred in Southern Herkimer county, N. Y, where clover seed has been raised largely, and as a regular -branclt of farming for _gyer forty years; himgelf | taking a y e inifs ¢ 153 ?;ﬁx« _"' ‘The practice'iere Was eqiried o S 0 | carefully and extensively that it. at last became an established science and success; to many it was the most lucrative part of farming. It was attempted by some to make it asole thing, a specialty; but it did not seem to succeed; there were some seasons when the seed was a comparative failure; besiqés, the work was too ¢oncentrated, many hands being required | at the same time. The time of harvesting and theshing.ghe crop.anad it ire Sufficient’ @id.— There wete other things also ferbidding, which ar not nggessa gto miens ticß el T T T As.a branch of rotation it is excellent, as it enriches and mellows the soil to a remarkable extent (when seed is raised as well as otherwise.) {My experience here agrees..exactly. with. | the conclusions of Voelcker. It prepares the land (worn out land) for succeeding crops, without manure. [Almost all crops are improved by clover. Wheatsis specially benefited. Oats, barley and peas grow well after clover; so does corn. The land will dlso do for seeding down again. ()love]r is the great fertilizer and ameliator of the soil; but gp? tg,tmi%peat of the | closeness of the stand. = This is the secret of the whole affair. If the sped is sown thick, gets a foothold and grows to maturity, there will be a ¢orresponding amount of fertility in the numerous roots that crowd and em}ich v the soil—enrich it with material (nitrogen) that is most needed. On ordinary soil, not too much run, it only needs plaster to aid in growing O&he crop.« If the land is manured or otherwise rich, all the better will be the growth; the cateh in particular| is more- apt to bel secured; and this, I need not say,is of the first importance, as it is a necessity to the existence; of the crop. My experience here is, tﬂmt sowing on winter grain early in the spring (on late snows) is best. Next to this is sowing on spring wheat| or barley. Last, and not to be recommended, is sowing with oats. The im- ; portance of getting a good catch will be seen when we consider that eight or ten quarts of seed per acre are usually sown, which if it fails, is so much seed thrown away. This, on ten or twelve acres’of land, is too uch to lose. And the catch, unless a good one, is good for nothing; a light stand hem? sure to give but a light yield, whi¢h it will not do to carry. | It is the custom to brush/or harrow in the seed, if sown with spring grain. sSome of the seed will be buried too deeply if harrowed, but most of it will -come, and that almost irrespective of the season. The past spring, as well as othier seasons, showed this eleady. It used to be the practice here to raise the large clover. The land was pastured till-the 15th of June. It was pastured as close as it was possible to get it, in order to have the crop even, so as to ripen at the same time. This is necessary so as to avoid the sun on one hand and the frost on the other; the sun, when severe ““blasting” the" crop, the frost killing it. To secure this point of escape from Dboth dangers, the 15th of June was found to be the time for starting the growth, with the medium clover about a week later, as this matured sooner. Sometimes, however, the point of escape did not occur at all, the heat rextending tpo far, or the frost coming too. soon.— Generally, however, it was exempt from these dangers. : f o Immediately after the stock was removed, plaster was sown-—one busliel per acre being the rule. This was done whether the land was poor, rich or indifferent, though it usually was not rich; usually land well run was rgiven to clover to enrich it, and lat the same time with the prospect of realizing well from it. The soil here is. varied, but mostly drift—that is, sandy and gravelly, with congiderable - clay. There dare'also alluvial lands and some stiff clay soils. Clover and _clover seed’do well on all of them, aﬁd have done well for the forty years and more that they have been grown here. It has, been oradris ad a Avan 1w weda

tion, followed usually by timothyfor. a few yga,lt@ t(ﬁ?&s o thien ﬂeﬁﬁ% down and put.fo gon ‘erains,and then seeded .down again.. "When 'a crop of seed was taken, it was often followed by the plow, as the clover died out by the process, and the land was in the finest condition for grain. The timothy sown with the clover, however, usually survived and yielded ~aerop the next year and for several years to come. v it . Plaster, as I have sail in another article, is indispensable to success in raising clover seed. This is thoroughly understood here. The thing has been tried with and without plaster. The writer remembers one year when forty acres of his father’s land, kept for clover seed, proved a total failure without ‘plaster, while his neighbors who had sown plaster had a fair yield. - Thisavas in the earlier days of raising clover seed. Shortly afterthe plaster is sown, the clover is seen to grow,whether there bea drouth or growing weather; the color of the,plantisa dark. blue, which is hot seen if the plaster is withheld. This growth is steady, persevering remarkably in a drouth, - though doing better of course in show- - ery weather. In eithercase the growthgoes on, the. plant, retaining its dark. blue color. & Those Q?tsx ¢3¥ the field that were missed wi en‘*‘m ’ ~,? iste was sown, as \?&%’ ut too often the case,showed a streak—thie.cloverbeingsmall and pale. While the one was large, close and dark,the sterg iz, full and jui@y,th}Lﬂ%S éﬂ%&d, perfect; the other lacked in blossom —sometimes to a greater, sometimes to a less extent—and of course could but be defective in seed. Hence the unmatured heads weredight, contragted and uneven; e fxe others yére plump, and bore sound blaick sedd, 8ten filling théheall. & = & & H | A point here ig Worthy of specihl remark. Where %2%&1% was Tiéh, plaster used and the season a growing one, so that the clover grew rank, and then lodged badly, the seed _,.d‘fidz,f:,,h@{ - seem to suffer, but yielded a good crop. The only objection was the mowing. This trouble, however, only happened when plaster was used. It seemed to _add vitality and give hardiness to the " plant.

UMY, Voorhéeßind the Platform. We notice that Mr. John B. Stoll, of | the Ligonier BANNER, pronounces Mr. Voorhees’ pretentions to the authorship of the anti-Baxter resolution of the democratic State platform to be: spurious. We are not aware that Mr. Voorhees made any pretentions on the subject, and it is a matter of no importance whatever ‘who. wrote it, as "h% whole p}%y%o w Tesponsible for i Since Mr. Stoll, however, has made wuch _a charge against Mr. Voorhees we will give him the precise facts in connection with this resolution. A week before the convention met Mr. Voorhees prepared certain resolutions which he intended to present to the proper committee at the proper time, and amongst thef{r{ one on the temper--anee..question... Not being satisfied with his own produetion on this latter subject he handed it to his law. partner, Judge A.B. Carlton, and: asked him to improve upon it. = Judge Carlton drew, and handed to Mr. Voorhees four days before the convention met, the anti-Baxter resolution precisely as it now stands in the platform, with the exception of twe slight verbal additions made by Mr. Voorhees after reaching Indianapolis, upon the suggestion of friends, but which do not in the slightest alter the meaning or force of the resolution, and it was:presented to the convention in his handwriting, and the very paper on which it was thus copied is in his office. Ile ex‘plained these facts to the committee, and there stated that, although in a parliamentary sense, he stood responsible for it, yet that his law partner was its actual author. The excellent gentleman for whom Mr. Stoll claims the authorship of this resolution was understood to accept the regolution as it now reads without any suggestion or amendment. Indeed,the only memDer of the committee who insisted on any change at all was Mr. Hamil, of Sullivan county, and one of the two verbal additions mentioned above was made as a concession to him. -

- This is a very small matter except in so far as a respectable editor of a respectable newspaper seems to be seeking to place Mr.-Voorhees in a false light before the people of the Stater “We™are sure Mr. Stoll' will gladly correct his mistake in this particular.—7'erre. Haute Journal.

Nothing could be farther from our desire than to do Mr. Voorhees an injustice. We gained our information (that Mr. R. C. Bell, of Et. Wayne, was the real author of the anti-Baxter plank) from a gentleman who sustains the most intimate relations to M. Bell, and presumed his version to be strietly 111&0@0;119140@ with faets. . The Joirnal’s explicit statement leaves no doubt in our mind that M. Voorhees is entitled td all that is claimed for him in the above article, Hence, we cheerfully comply with the Journal’s request by giving “honor to to'whor hotibr e & - .

APPLETON’S - ANMERICAN CYCLOP ADIA l 'y 3 : New Revised Edition. Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every sgbject. Printed from aew type, and ilTnetrated with Several Thousand Engravings and Maps. Tur work originally published under the title of Tane NEwW AMERICAN CYOLOP.EDIA Was comple- { ted in 1863 since which time the wide circulation which it has attained in all parts of the United States, and the signal devel()})mems which have taken place in every branch of science, literatnre, and art. have induced the editors and pnblishers to submit 1t to an exsact and thorough revision, and to issuz a new edition entitled Tur AMERIOAN CYCLOPEDIA.

. Within the last ten years the progress of discovery in every department of knowledge has made a new work of reference an imperative want. . The movement of political affairs has kept pace with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful application to the industrial and useful arts and the convenience and refinement ofsocial life. Gireat wars and consequent revolutions have occuarred, involvingnaliong] changes of peculiar moment.— The civil war of ‘our own country, which was at -its height when the last volume of the old work appeared, has. happily been ended, and a ncew course of commercial and industrial activity has ‘been commenced. Large accessions to our geographical knowledge have heen made by the indefatigable explorers of Africa. Y . : The great political revolutions of the last decade, with the natural result of the lapse of time, have brought into public view, a multitunde of new men, whose names are in‘ every one’s mouth, and of whose lives every one is curious to know the articulars. Great battle s have been fought and }iumpm'mnt.sieges maintained, 6t which the details are as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in the transient publications of the day, but which ought now to take their placefin permanent and authentic history. ey

In preparing the present edition for the press it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the information to the latest possible dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the most regent dizcoveries inscience, of every fresh production in literature, and of the newest inventious in the practical arts, as well as to give a suecinct and original record of the progress of political and historical cvents. : a “The work has been begun after long and care. ful préliminary iabor, and with the most ample resources for carrying it on to a successful termination. : ! -

Norme of the original stéreotype plates have been used, but every page has been printed on new type, forming in fagt a mew Cyclopeedia with the same plan and compass as its predeceesor, but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with such improvements in itB composition as have been suggested by longer experience and enlarged knowledge. | : The illustrationd which are introduced for the first time in the present edition have been added not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give greater lucidity and force to the explanations in the text. They embrace all branches of explanations in the text. They embrace all branches of science and of natural history, and depict the most famous and remarkable feature of scenery, architecture. and art, as well as the various processes of mechanics and manufactures. Although intended for instruction rather than embellishment, no pains have been spared to insure their artistic excellence; the cost of their execution is enormous, and it is believed they will find a welccme reception as an admirable feature of the Cyclopewedia, and worthy of ite high character.

Gravel Roofs That Will Not Leak. Tdesires to call the attention B' CAFFE& of the public to the fact that there have been but two gennine gravel roofs put up in the town of Ligonier, one of them 17 and the other 3 ryears ago.

Mr. Caffey having gained a thorough knowledge of putting on gravel roofs that will not leak and are very durabbe, respectfully solicits a trial an g:snntees entire satisfaction. . For proof of this he refers, with ?ermiesion, to T Forsyrur and W. A. Brown, L ﬁonier Ind. The roofing on the Hillsdale Chair Factory buildings is of Gravel Cement, and gives us entire satisfaction.
