James Catlier, v h'it is, you know, one of our
moat intelligent and successful practical lar
ntera. ' Tbia letter, cannot fail to be real
with much Interest by the farmers, for the

lishes ' the important' fact that' cultivated
land may be increased in fertility without
the application of manure of any kind what
ever, Yours,'" '" ' "! " .

Dr. R. T. Baldwin.- f to - " .. .
'Dear Sir: Knowing thri derp interest
you feel in Agriculture, and especially any
thing that relates to the improvement of the
soil, and believing as 1 du that those inte-,
rests would be promoted by a more freqoent
communication among larmers in regard to
their practice and experience, must be my
apology for addressing you this communica
tion. ' ' " ;'' " " ' '
.'About twenty years ago 1 determined to
try what improvement I could make on a
small portion of mv farm by the use of clo
ver and plaster. For the purpose of making
the experiment, 1 selected a field of about
thirteen acres, the soil of which was light
and sandy. 1 had cleared this field, and had
it in cultivation about eight years before I
commenced to use clover and plaster on it ;
during this time it hart been producing an
averBge ,f abnut nine bushels of w
- boutSwentyaeven bushel of c.n
heat and
corn to the
acre. 1 commenced mr eltorta to improve
the soil by sowing it with about one gallon
and a half of clover seed and about one
hundred pounds of plaster to the acre. I
soon found that the plaster acted well on the
soil, produced a very heavy crop of clover,
which, was allowed to remain on the .land,
without either mowing or pasturing it oil', for
three years ; at the end of which time it was
ploughed up, in the month of March or
April, when the clover was in a dry state,
and planted in corn, and the next summer it
was left over for stalk fallow and sowed with
wheat in the fall, and again sowed with clo
ver and plaster in the spring, and the same
routine continued up to the present time ;
that is to say, first either two or three years
in clover without nasturins; or mowing any
part off it off, then com succeeded by wheat
on a stalk fallow. "
The remit of this practice is that the pro
duct of this field has been more than doubled,
and is still increasing. For the last eight
veara it ha averaiM'il nnwnrtl of twentT
bushels of wheat a nil about forty-five bushels
of corn: and last season, when the wheat
crtm in tlus section of country was remark
ably lieht and of a very poor quality, 1 har
vested from this field twenty -four bushels of
blue stem white wheat of excellent quality,
and weighing sixty-four pounds to the bush
el. It may be proper to remark that no fer
tilizer lias ever been used on this field, ex
cept the clover aud plaster,
row, whether
this imnrovement is the
,-- -
whether t is mainly at-
erii'Ct ol shade, or
tributable to the decomposition of vegetable
matter in the soil, I will not attempt to de
cide. . I merely give you a faithful statement
of the mode of culture and the result, and
will leave it to you and others to draw youri
ow ii
inlereiices.
Very rcspectfullvi yours,

. Pam.trto Wheat. In the summer of 18J0,
Mr. Gideon Dcvault, a worthy farmer of
Guilford, selected tome very promising
beads of . wheat, which, when cleaned, mea
sured one-half pint of wheat. About the
last of October, 1850. he towed ij and at
harvest litis year he gauiereu aixty-tiiree
half pint as the product of the half pint
sown. , This is the largest proportional yield
from a gien quantity sown that has come
under our knowledge. The Brain is a plump,
heavy looking white wheat, not overly large,

' The writer opens with the remark that two
months ago he made'a tour of the Southern
States, " and tarried a while at the little vil
lage of Hillsborough," "a short distance"
from which " in his memorable retreat across
North Carolina in February, 1781, the ragged
but gallant army of Gen. Greene forded the
river Haw." "Not far from Hillsborough
we were shown the scene of a terrible mas
sacre of tones by the troopers of Lee's Le
eion." Hillsborough,'1' our'5 readers ' need
scarcely be informed, is on the River Eno,

did hot cross the river at all. "The scene of
Pvle's discomfiture is in the vicinity of I
Graham, in the county of Alamance, distant
some twenty-five miles from Hillsborough.
The writer is not more precise and accu-
rate in the statement of the number- and
character the 'American forces who- par-1

Greene sent Col. Henry Lee with his legion

militia to harrass the British force, and dis
perse the bands of tories which were organ

Cot. Lee had formed a squadron of cav

the fashion of Tar! ton's celebrated corps, and
no wan in the American service was more

during a visit to the University ! in ' 1853,

coat without assistance, that any '"suspicion'
was entertained ol the extent and severity
of the wound. He was confined for seve'raf
