Promptly and correctly executed at the officc of the Hillsborough Recorder. WutcA Economy. WV% , ? From the American Farmer. Method of cutting nj}' Com and Stack ing it in t/ic Field, described. Dear Sir, You inform me that the experiment 1 made in your state of taking the corn ofl' the field with the loddcr, has not I succeeded: That the corn was subject to rot, if the weather was warm or wet; also, that it increased the labor. Our method is as follows:? We are prepared with cutting knives made out of worn out or broken grass scythes ? one cut in the middle, will make two corn cutters; the back of the but-end drawn into a spike, and a piece of wood put on something like a sickle handle. We begin on the side of our field thmt seems to be the driest. A boy go -s on between the 8th and 9th rows, and coun'.s to the 8th hill, then ties or iocks together the four centre hills a bove the ears, which four hills are not to be cut, but left for a support to begin the *tack ? he then counts on 16 hills further, and tics the four hills in the same manw r, and so on to the end of the rows, a&d field. The two first cutters take one the seventh and eighth, the other the ninth and tenth rows, (he two next cutters take ihc film and sixth, and the eleventh and twelfth ? they walk between these row* and take the corn hill under their ic It arm, and cut it near the ground, and cast it forward, so as to put five or six lulls togetner; the carriers take it and set it round tho lour hills tied ntui left standing; setting it up straight and well, putting as near as they can an equal proportion all around. If we are doubt ful our corn is too green, or the weather too warm or wtt, after the first eight rows are cut and set up, we begin the next row of stacks, and go on leaving eight and cutting eight rows through out our crop?in a few days the half stack will be cured; we then begin with the first, and cut and put to them the iast eight rows; when the stacks have had three or four days to cure, we tie them about two thirds of their height from the ground to prevent the fall winds from disturbing them. In this way, eight hanJs will secure ten acres per day, and the fodder will be good. We find it better than hay, so much of the saccharine substance being retained in the stalks, that large cuttle eat it too t ear the ground. 1 believe that ten acres saved in this way will be nearly equal to twenty any other way that we have saved it. The part of out crop that we w ant for immediate use, to fatten pork, Sic. husk on the stalk, and cut and stack the fodder, in tae same way, only we finish the stacks as we go. Care should be taken to cut near tue ground, or the stubs will be in the way of cutting the grain witii the cradle, as there will be some the harrow will not pull up. The above method we have practised for at least twenty years, and could not keep the stock we do now any other way. There will be found a great difference in corn. The hard, whitish, or yellow flint, will do to cut up when the fodder is much greener, and better than the large dcrp grained corn. It is also ad vantageous to cut young or green corn, that will not ripen before frost ? as much more will become good by being cut up and stacked, than will be so if it is frost bit, and the fodder will be very fine ? it appears to receive sustenance from the stalk long after it is cut up. I am sir, with respect, your's, kc. AH l'X SEMOUR. MooreficM, Hardy county, Va. From Xilcs' Weekly Register. A M i;r ic a n ma n L' fa ct u h es. Though the following may not be very flattering to the patriotism or judg ment of congress, and many of our icl low citizens not honored with a scat on the floor of the rapitol ? still th? truth should he told, that improvidence and folly may he rebuked and checked. It is assuredly a fact, that when the Messrs. Duponts, of Brandy wine* were manufacturing their very superior cloths during the late war, they found for some time great difTu ulty in disposing of them, though tliey always kept their prices below those which were asked for llritish ^oods of like qualities. The stock on hand accumulated to suci an a mount, though the most assiduous ef fort* to make sah s wt re not wanting, that it almost seemed problematical whether they mL'ht not fmd it expe dient to shut up their la< lory, and tlirow a large population out of employment Their chief market was at Philadclphi >; and lurre the brnt judges, with nearly all the greui dandy-tailors, had pronounced their goods inferior, and not fit for ntn ilemen to weai? they could not, 4i in coriMcirncft consent to cut th> m for then regular customeri!" To relieve ?htm selves of this difficulty, and secrctly punish the prejudice which they could not openly overcome, the proprietors of the establishment purchased the -til ot an English agent, who, for the per cent, allowed, gladly undertook the business. Twenty or thirty bales were carefully put up at the factory, in strict imitation of British cloths, with the leads, covers, marks, &c. Sec. and sent on to the agent ; who soon made it known that, he had re ceived, no matter how, whether smug gled or not, a handsome assortment of cloths. N'o one suspcctcd that ne dealt in American goods? and his store was t>uon thronged by tailors and othet*, to pun? chase them. They were quickly hold, at a dollar or two in the yard mere than the factory prices ? at an advance sufh cicnt to pay the per centage, and leave it considerable excess prolit to the manu facturers! Then came out the puOihf advertisements in the newspapers of the tailors and others, having received sup plies of fresh goods; and their shelves were soon relieved of tl?ese very supe rior English cloths, which they " could recommend to their customers!" The best of the joke was, that the enterprising I) u pants, by such opcra. tions, were enabled to carry on and ex tend their establishment^? but the moot ridiculous part of the whole was as fol lows: The primary object of the man ufacturers was to dispose of their goud but to build up a character for them, was hardly less interesting. To aid in this, ihty always kept out of the imit:v tion bales the finest and best picces that they made, to sell as American good*, at a lower rate than those so managed to be supposed English. When the head lailot s had obtained a stock, as mention ed above, they sent round to them those reserved picces, asking a comparison, and soliciting purchases at reduced prices. ? Being well acquainted with the gentlemen, 1 think that I can now see. one of lhtm, without a smile o.t hu countenance, comparing one piece of his own cloth with another, gravely contend ing in favor of what he had to sell and which he knew was the best, and calmly listening to the numerous objections urged against his opinions, about the fineness, texture, durability of colour, and the like, all said to be superior in those goods. which had passed through the hands of the English agent! Haw long this honouiable deception, to make folly an instrument of good, was prac tised, we do not know. We have been told, however, that it never was detect ed; but, in a short time, such a charac ter was established for the Messrs. Du ponts' cloths, that no necessity existed for resorting to it. They could dispose of all that they could make ? '.he peo ple knowing that they were American goods, and purchasing tiiem because they were better and cheaper than tho imported. L.ast winter we indignantly noticed the rcceipt of a letter from the clci k of the house of representatives of the U. States, written on paper stamped ami marked with the royal crown of Eng land: atid were told, in explanation, thai the c lerk had only a few loose sheets of such paper in his ofliee, one of whicu happened to be directed to us. We have not had auy reason yet to doubt the lat ter statement, but soon after it was pub lished, a friend in the senate sent us a sheet of the paper usua'iy laid on the desks of its members, dignified with the same emblem of royalty, at which we were again mortified. The paper was of a very fine quality; better, perhaps, than four fifths of the members of con gress ever used, perhaps ever saw, be fore their arrival at Washington ? nice enough for the lightest dandy to write a note to his goddess upon. \Vc deposit ed the sheet among our queer things, in* tending to bring it forth when occasion suited, and to deprecate the matter as it deserved. Hut we are just told, and w e Irarn it wiih much pride and pleasure, that our wise senators arc cheated? neatly cheated, and made a laughing stock of, line the Philadelphia tailors!? Our best paper makers have vainly so licited the honor of supplying congress;* their proposals could not be acccptcd; English paper only was good enough for that exalted body ? and so English paper was contractcd for: ? but we have now most humbly to apologize to Mr. Dougheny, and all else who might be aggutvrd by our former remarks, m expressing our conviction that this pa per, if supposed to come from England, must come from a district so called, but with the important word 44 Nkw" placed ? Among these were tlie Gilpin*, on the Rrmulvwrnc, whose establishment tor the m.v nufacturc of paper, we suppose must hav?? cost between three ami four hundred thousand dollars, and is s*.d to be without a superior in the- world, though several others ol our paper milkers manufacture goods equal to titers. and have tor several years made papeti w tCh, with the name advantage nt age before using, would compare with ;?ny furuialu j from England, and at J3 per cent, les* price than they can be sold at, in that country, I*a per is a dear articlc in England, though ex ceedingly cheap in Franot, Germany, Italv, 8tC.
