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.

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.
