Editor?If many patrons to your i very useful print would throw in occasionally an item of experiment in Agricul- n lure, the whole would be common stock 1 for mutual advantage. As an example of s this on my part, I will here give the out- ? lines of a plan by which 1 secure the growth and stand of a clover crop, and ^ at the same time greatly benefit the crop ( of small grain with which the clover is ' sown or grown. It is by covering the a ground after sowing with a coating of s pine straw. (Or any other straw or / trash will do.) "Wheat may be covered c in the fall or winter?say an inch thick? r less or more, and the clover seed?(in hull or clean seed) sowed thereon in the f. spring, and the first rain will wash it down ii so as to come up well, and to afterwards c withstand the effects of dry weather and >'1 the hot sun. I have succeeded beyond ll Icxocctation by various trials, as that, of P sowing clover seed early in the fall, on 11 ground fresh after sowing wheat, and a then covering, or in the spring with small 0 grain, as oats or spring wheat, and then * covering; or as before stated, took my t time in the winter to cover, and sowed r the clover in the spring, and in places / , left uncovered for a counter experiment, ti there was a partial failure, or where in- n ferior both as to small grain and clovei. g I find my plan a complete preventive of failures of a clover crop in our sandy soil, J ii but doutless good on any ground; and will well pay the cost of covering in a fu- ?? ture crop, by vegetable matter decom- d posed.?But a good clover crop on any iand properly managed, secures its fertility at once. 1 cannot forbear here to give an experiment I made the past summer and fall?having made double crops on the 1 n ' J *' same ground, as tnat 01 pumpKins anu () Irish potatoes; and also that of Buck- {) \yheat and Rye sowed together. I sowed M on the 5th of August last buckwheat and f) rye, and then clover, for a treble crop with one trouble and then covered most rr of the ground thus sown, with pine straw, fi and some places with green pine boughs, e I cut on the 5th of October, a fine crop a of buckwheat, and the rye and clover now look quite promising, particularly on that covered as above stated. I had the a curiosity to measure the buckwheat on a 11 quarter of an acre, and the yield was five n and a half bush els, or at the rate of twen- " ty-two bushels per acre. What the yield ^ of the rye and clover may be next season remains to be seen. In haste, yours and the public's respectfully. f Sidney Weller. n Brinlrfcyville, N. C. Jan. 12, 1841. j LUCERNE. p We have a small square of this grass growing in our garden, from the appear- e ance of whch we areiuclind to think favor n ably of it as a grass for soiling or hay in a our rlimale. The soil is sandy with a sand <1 foundation. It was badly prepared, being t, but thinly manured, and having had a coat o several inches d?*ep of unrottedoak leaves b turned in a few weeks before the lime of n planting. But being the only vacant spot tl in thegarden at lite time, we concluded to try it. After spading up the ground to the fl depth of twelve inches, the seed was drilled, early in May, and came up well; but n at least half the plants, perhaps two thirds, o were destroyed a few days after they ap- t< peard above ground, by a very small black p fly; Those which were left grew well, e but having on hand at the time a press of n other business which more urgently dernan- N ded our attention, they were not worked till some time in June, when it was almost ? concealed by a thick crop of crab grass.? d The growth was somewhat checked |by the disturbance of the roots in pulling ( and cutting up this. It was hoed once more 8 iltirimr ihp censnn. hut iwit till o>t,wli?r / heavy crop of crab grass had attained l such growth as to tequire the hand for <1 pulling, rather than hoc for cutting it up. The lucerne with all these disadvantages grew to an average height of frotn 10 to i 15 inches. Or rather this was the length ( of the spears, whicti inclined to grow lat- 1 lerally, and were bent towards the giound t by the weight of their leaves. Some bun- 1 ches bore seed, and the whole would very s well have borne culling in the fall. They fl continued green till severe frost; and young l leaves began io spring up from the roots again late in January. From that time a they have continued to grow, slowly in s cold weather, and more rapidly when the r weather was warm. The severe frost in tl February killed some of the leaves, but n n?me of the spears. A.wetk ago, when r the peach trees had blossomed, but hud si put forth no leaves, the lucerne was fioiri f 8 to 14 inches high. Many of the spears are now 17 inches long, and the whole s< presents the most luxuriant and beautiful ti growth of deep geen and tender vegetation tuhirh we have etor ?pn in March.? The only defect is that the stund is loo thin. If the stand were fi#od it would now afford as heavy a cxopm hay as clover af- " fords at any season of the year, even on A trnng soil. The spaces between the beds cere coverd with a coat of stable manure n February and spaded up. From'the result, thus far, of this experiaent, ue feel warranted in advising a | rial of lucerne by planters who have , andy soil which they can manure. TIip j arly part of September is eonsiderd the j est time for planting, and next to that, , he month of February. If the season , ad been a dry one our planting in May, ast year, would probably hare proved failure. Several bunches died during short continuance of dry nwealher i ( ome part of the season, perhaps in Lugust. This, however, may have been I aueed by the quantity of leaves still un- 1 otted in the soil. Lucerne is used chiefly, if not altogether ^ U I ii ny ui si'iiui^ iiini l'Ulllll*? HI imi * ii a green slate. Delicate lamhs, pigs and 1 alves might be snfiep-d to run upon it for ' short time though not without injury to c he succeeding crop of hay. The roots t lenetrate deep into the soil, and continue j o throw up a luxuriant growth of stems s nd leaves for 8 to 10 years; some ac- , ounts say, much longer. Though v?luble, it cannot be used in a rotation of rops for the improvement of land. But % o counterbalance this disadvantage, it equires neither replanting nor cultivation or a long scries of years after it has once ? iken good root. ' It must, however, be tanurcd occasionally, as the growtli beins to fail. Rabbits are very fond of it and injure a . in early spring by cropping it down, * loles, also, sometimes kill it bv eating t ff ihe roots a little below the. surface of he earth.?Cheraw Gazette. t MISCELLANEOUS. a THE TVV0 WHITK ROSES. { A touching little story of a French Oirl. 3 The following singular rase was brought istspring, before the justice of the peace * f the four dictricts in Paris.
