Curing Clover Hay.
Clover makes a most desirable and nu
tritive hay, provided it le cut in season,
and properly cured. Asagrneralrule.it
is not advisable to permit it to remain
standing much' after the period of inflores
er-nce, as the ripening of the seed in' the"
field exposes it ta a certain dpgrte of dete
rioration which considerably diminishes
its value as a feed for stock, besides insur
ing a certain degree of actual and unavoi
dable loss in handling it, ns those leaves
and- heads which have become dry, are
easily detached from thr stock during the
process of raking and pitching, even when
these operations are performed with the
most consummate care.
My plan of operation in raring ciuver
it as follows: As soon as the heads are
nil fully blown, 1 commence mowing, care
being had to lay the swarths an closely as
possible, and to leave no sraHering grass
between them, if it can be helped. About
fouro-'clock in the afternoon, provided the
weather during the day has been clear and
warm, I have the swarths turned carefully
over with' a fork, and in this position they
re allowed to remain till four o'clock the
nexr-day. I then, with a pitchfork, com
mence cocking the swarths pitching the
half made grass in flakes as much as poss
ible, and making my cocks compact but
small say about eighty pounds uncured
hoy to the cock. They are then r.eatly
raked off, scatterings" cleaned up, and
rocks permitted to remaia unopened and
wholly undisturbed, till dry.
Should the weather prove favorable,
the paling will procred rapidly, and in
two days from the lime the grass is cocked,
the hay will be fit to mow. This insures
iV.e entire preservation of the leps and foli
age; confer a beautiful green color to the
hay, and prevents the stalks from assum
ing that dry, hard ligenious character

ay exposure to a not sum uiovcr maae
in-this way is never mouldy, -and even
should the weather piove unfavorable, or
even wet after cocking, the compactness of
the cocks will prevent their becoming sat
united, and a few hours' sunning will ren-
dtf-them fit to mow. I have known hav
cocked in this manner to re.naiu out a
wcek-orten days, and mil retain all its
original greenness and fragrance perfectly
unimpaired.
Making hay in this onftner, is a practice
not yet in much favor with American far-
mers ; but in England, Scotland and oih.-r j
European countries, the " grass-cock sys- j
tem'' of curing, but all other crasscs. even j
the finest, when cut for hay, or as a dry '
feed for domestic stock. In the cae of
clover, which usually grows thick and :
rank, the fork shenld always lake :he
place of the rake, which is not rfrj-iitti.

Corn vs. Wheat.
It so happens that my farm consists of

nence I have adopted the theory, that as
much clear money can be-obtained in twrn-

costing but $3, and dram n by one hoise ;
it plants two rows af once, depositing one
):rain at a time and the grains 9 inches
apart. When tin? corn begins to sprout 1
ommence harrowing lengihw'ue of the
rows with my large harrow, and continue
until it begins to appear above ground.
This gives the corn a decided advantage
over the weeds. I then use the cultivator

vent the land from being exhausted and
save the-cost of manuring, I am carelul to
plow in all the stalks, which will thoro'ly
renovate and keep up the land for any
number of years. I hod ISO acres ofcern

bushels per acre grew. 1 plant 250 this

Plaster is so valuable fertilizer, that
measures -should be taken to cheapen its
transportation to its lowest attainable figure.
Lime, ashes, and bones should also be car
ried at the minimum charge on railroads
and canals. Plaster trade the gain.
Messrs. Editors : Many farmers who
have used Wheatland plaster for years,
think its efrecis uporr the" soil' are nor as
good now as formerly, and have conse
quently discontinued its use to a great ex
tent. They think the plaster has deterio
rated in value from some cause either the
beds are not as pure as they used to be,
or, perhaps, lime-stone or some other stone
is mixed with the gypsum. If Dr. Lee has
aTilvzed the plasrer of these, and can tell
whether ornbt our' s'jppbsitioris are weli
founded he will much oblige many readers
of the Genesee Farmer.
We have not analyzed any of the quar
ries of plaster in Wheatland.and we should
be sorry to believe that any one should add
marl, of which there is an abundance in
the neighborhnod,to the pure mineral. The
difficulty doubtless U, that your soils are
sick of g psum, from the lack of bone-timber,
potash, magnesia, and common salt,
in the Innd. Plaster is not everything that
nature tiimands to form a clover plant, or
a crop of wheat, onts or corn. Farmers
must learn to take better care of the pot
ash, phosphorus, and magnesia, in their
soils.

The political news from England is of
conquerable importance. After repeated
efforts of Lord Pulmerston to arrange the
Greek difficulty with France, and after
several postponements of the debate in the
P.riiish Parliament, the question was final

Independence Day.
To-morrow's sun will light up, through
out the Union, another glorious festival of
onsututionai liberty another Jubilee of.
Freedom. Each anniversarv of this hal-'
lowed day brings with it rejoicings more
thoughtful, yet more exultant, than its
predecessors. Each twelve-month's prog
ress up thc steeps of fame and power is,
latterly, prodigal of great events, and
shadows forth fresh wonders in thc future.
Each passing year dcvelopes anew the
measureless capabilities of our free insti
tutions, imparts to them renewed life and
potency, and strengthens and deepens the
foundations on which they rest.
It is difficult to realize the changes of
seventy-five years that have elapsed since
thc political tics that connected us with thc
mother country were severed, and it is
doubly right that the fires of patriotism
should be annually rekindled,, aud our
country's origin and destiny be thus vivid
ly recalled. Aud these festivities could
never be more appropriate than on thc
present auniversary, while the insane cry
of " disunion," from a scattered handful
of political fanatics is yet ringing in our
cars.
springing from the feebleness and de-eudc-nee
of our colonial days, as with thc
energy of a new creation, our country has
in three quarters of a century attained a
proud and just pre-eminence in all thc cs-
st.ntial elements of national greatness. It
is but yesterday, as it were, that one half
the present populous States of the Union
were a wilderness when there i
icithcr
turnpike, railroad, canal, or stcuiuUat in
the whole country. AVhcn merchandize
was conveyed across our mountains on
pack-horses, and transported upotin-treams
j unwieldy barges that were urged iigainst
the current by the most toilsome hibor, at
within thc life-time of a single individual
all this has been changed as by the touch
of a magiciau's wand. Manufactories and
institutions of learning have sprung up in
all directions. A net-work of turnpikes,
canals and railroads has been extended to
all points of thc compass.
Many of thc
niost improbable dreams of the Arabian
Nights' Entertainments have been realized,
The thunderbolts of heaven have been
j disarmed of their terrors aud guided safe-

'
and honesty of purpose, has cut the Gor-
dian knot of their Machiavellian poliev,
and taught them to respect the dictates of
justice, and the demands of right. Thc
warlike spirit and achievements of our
people Las impressed the despotisms of
the Old W orld with a sense of the char-
cctcr and rapacity of cur institutions that
they had failed to receive from our prog
ress in the arts of peace. And now, while
thc once powerful dynasties of Europe arc
resting uneasily upon the brooding ele
ments of revolution beneath them, fearing
momently the destruction that ultiuiately
awaits them at thc hands of their oppressed
subjects, onr once contemned republic
stands proudly forth as thc exemplar of
thc nations; sitting enthroned between the
seas, with the decaying civilization of
Europe on one hand, the barbaric rude
ness aud freshness of Asia on the other
inviting and receiving thc ends of the
earth iuto her bosom, to assimilate with
her own life-blood aud with the commerce
of thc world soon to be at her feet, and
pouring its countless treasures into her
lap.
All this prosperity is the direct result,
under Providence, partly of our geograph
ical positiou, but mainly and essentially
of the principles of thc Juffersonian De
mocracy, first announced to the world in
the Declaration of Independence princi
ples which have placed us in a wonderful
ly short period on vantage ground that can
not be rivalled,, and, traveling across thc
Atlantic, have undermined, upheaved, aud

tion of Monarchist, seemed as powerless
and unstable as thc shifting sands of thc
sca-shorc, we have proved by tho demon
stration of varied and perilous vicissitudes,
that our political institutions can cope
successfully with the most formidable ex
ternal danger, or the most alarming in
ternal dissensions though thc one should
be found in the opposing hosts of thc 'mis
tress of thc seas," and the other be lashed
into phrenzy by thc madness of sectional,
or party strife. The only real element of
danger which was iutcrwoven with our fa
bric of government, the Slavery question,
has already sufficiently developed its pro
portions and prospects, as to remove for
ever all apprehensions which the most
faint-hearted and desponding may have
entertained, on that account, for thc safe
ty and perpetuity of thc republic. The
Union was never more firmly entrenched
in the hearts of thc people than now, and
its dissolution never before so absolutely
impossible.
The only source of danger lies in the
very elements of our strength thc possi
bility, as some imagine, that thc people
themselves may become unworthy of our
institutions, or indifferent to their value.
It is perfectly true that like causes produce
like effects. Corrupt and degrade the
masses, and the safeguards of freedom are
gone. I5nt elevate and enlighten them
provide for the universal and thorough
education of thc people and let them,
and the public servants to whom they del
egate thc reins of government, adhere
with inflexible firmness to the letter and
spirit of the federal compact, and there
will be imparted to our republican institu
tions a renewed elasticity and strength
that can not be successfully assailed by
any adverse influence on earth.
The Constitution of the Union is
worthy thc reverential regard of the pros
perous millions who repose under its shad
ow in jieacc and security. It has proved
equal to every crisis that has tested its
strength, and adapted to our condition in
every change of our national advancement.
It has grown with our growth, and strength
ened with our strength. " It was the
swaddling clothes of our national infancy ;
it is thc coat of mail that envelopes thc
giant limbs of our national manhood."

Correspondence of the Chronicle
Burlington City, loiia. ?
June 12, 1850 $
Mr. Editor : After writipg my last let
ter at Green Bay, I passed up the north
side Fox river to thc Green Lake country.
I believe I said good deal about the coun
try along, and the capacity of that river,
but within the limits ot an epistolary com
munication, justice can not be done so
great and growing a country. The ra
pidity with which this country improves,
is incredible to an eastern man, unless he
comes here and sees for himself. For an ex
ample, I will give fne town of ArptrroM,
on the north bank of that river, some sev
en miles from its source. On the 19th of
February 1849, the preparatory school
house for & college was commenced, on
the site in the woods. Not a house was
near, nor a tree cut, before this. And
when I was there on the 11th May, 1850,
seventy-three houses were up, and occu
pied ; the school in full operation, with
some 100 scholars ; a splendid hotel fin
ished, and two others about finishing ; and
many more buildings commenced. The
town was already well supplied with stores
and mechanics, 6f all kinds, and several
doctors and lawyers. Your readers must
not imagine that these buildings are cabin;
by no means. They are neat, well finished
frames painted white, and some of them
built with much taste and elegance. The
same spirit of go ahead is manifested at
Neena, Menassa, Oshkosh, A'goma, and
Fon du luc, which lie on the west side
and end of Lake Winnebago. The latter
place is the oldest, and lies at the head of
the lake. It was commenced some four
years since, and now numbers a popula
tion of some 2,500, is very neat in appea
renre, and full of business, life and anima
tion. Thc country in the neighborhood
ol Ceresco and Green Lake, as far as Fort
Winnebago is also a magnificent section of
conn'ry.
In traversing this country, we can soon
find a key to the magic prosperity of these
towns, as it requires not the slow process
of years' hard labor to clear and prepare
the ground for cultivation ; thousands of
acres being ready for the plough, and w hen
once ploughed is as easy farmed (and re
quires not half the attention) as the best
bottom land on the Susquehanna, after
forty years, cultivation. In the western
part ol Ihe State, however, we find a diffe
rent soil, and quite a different state of
things. I allude to the mineral lands.
Lead is found in great abundance, and
some Copper, but the county as well as
the population, is rugged and uncultivated.
The Southern part of the State is unques
tionably a master-piece of nature. Rock
and Walworth counties, in Wisconsin,
Winebago and Ole counties in Illinois,
I appenr to have every element of perfection
libra farming country ; and Wntcrtown,
'Janesville, Itelnit, and Rockford, which
are located on Roelc river, partake of the
nature of the country.
Wisconsin is generally healthy, especi
ally l lie lake country. Milwaukee is a
beautiful nnd flourishing young city. It
is rincipnlly built with a rich cream-cob
lured brick. These bricks are made by
steam, pressed ready for the kiln. There
is one establishment there that turns off
from 30,000 to 26,000 bricks per day.
They make a very permanent and magni
ficent looking wall. Their sand stone is
of thc finest quality, and a very rich sub
stitute for marble for sills, steps, &c. The
architecluul skill and workmanship of the
mechanics of Milwaukee, will favorably
compare with the best in the eastern cities.
If our eastern cities are not thrown in the
shade by this modern improvement, will
soon perceive an imperceptable shadow
steal over ihem.because their grandeur and
style is examined, and improved upon.
Port Washington, Racine, and Southport
are also handsomely located, and pleasant
coast towns.
Chicago (Illinois) is quite a city; is
built principally of wood, streets and pave
ments are all laid wkb plank, and in dry
weather has quite a combustible appearance
It is considerably larger than Milwaukee,
but nothing to compare with it, in point of
elegance and taste. Its public and private
buildings as well as its stores and business
depots, have more of a picayune appear
ance. The whole State although it con
tains a soil of superior quality, and very
little that is not first rate, lacks that neat,
flourishing, and enterprising appearance
that arrests Ihe attention, and elicits the
admiration of the traveler in Wisconsin.
Peoria is decidedly the most pleasent town
I have seen in the State. It is situated on
the Illinois river near the out-let of Peoria
lake, and has a population of some 2,000
to 2,500. In the western part of the
State is some broken, sterile counly, but
nineteen twentieths of the land is really
delightful, and wculd yield the industrious
husbandman a rich reward. Piairies are
large and luxuriant ; and roads are some
times not easy found. I would suggest to
those who propose traveling in the West,
to supply themselves with a pocket com
pass, 1 have found it very convenient on
these prarics.
Of Iowa, I am not prepared, as yet, to
speak, but from what I can learn it is the
same character of soil. It appears to me
that I have already seen first quality of
land enough in this country upon which,
with a supply of Pennsylvania farmers.
