Nothing more betrays the if the ground has been well Prepared. imperfect system of agriculture exi t- in"- in irUi-Caroluia,thau the almost total neglect of cultivating artificial trasses. Not even red clove, which stands at the head of r em, has, as y et, been introduced to ameliorate or im-; prove the soil. By a neglect of this,' with other grasses, our lauds are. not oulv in an impoverished state, but our livestock, particularly cattle, are felt as an expense, instead of a profit.- "Rtr fhp nresent mode of management .

In Pennsylvania the introduction and general cultivation of artificial grasses, particularly red clover, has ; added millions to the wealth of her : farmers. A I'ennsy! vania farmer, u ho knav. s the advantage of a timothy or clover meadow, considers it a folly to spend time in collecting corn blade??.

But as red clo ver hs al rtady been ful ly treated of j in a lurmer number, to which the rea der is referred, it is needless to enlarge on it here. : Timothy This is a well known, fa vorite and native grass of the northern and middle States.

The best vay of S'Mvinjj if upon such !an!s, is. imme diately after f' ey are cleared and drained.

Mav 13, 1318 73 tf To ihh Flour and Rice Millers of the United States. Gentlemen, It appears that many have refus ed to pay tor licence to use my improve ments in the art of manufacturing flour, and in lessening the labor in Rice Mills waiting the decision of the United States Courts ; while many others have paid freely the sums I demanded for my li cence ; and there exists no reason why some should pay and others be exempt. There has already been a sufficient number of decisions establishing the law that each infringer is liable to pay treble my actual damage which cannot be rated less than the vtlttc tf the vse of mv pro perty during the infringement. I have expended the greater part of a' ng, ar duous, active and indefatigable life, in studv and exertions to invent and intro duce into useful operation, several impor tant and highly useful improvements, from which great benefits are derived to the users ; arid I could have put in opera tion many more equally usefal, bst was prevented by the unjustifiable opposition, wasting the profits of those in operation, which I intended to apply to put others in operation, which I had discovered : but which now lay dormant to mv great inor- jl JiJieatioiK anc the public uyury. j i I come into the courts claiming j come into the courts claiming remune- ration for mv time and labor. The r feat expencesthat I have incurred in advertis- ing, repeatedly over the United States, and of my agents 'ravelling for many j vears to make the utility cf the improve- i - . . . ments known, cc to instruct lllwngnts to make, and the millers to use them, and J in prosecuting my ciaims tne law coiuein plates that I shall vereive ample remune ration. Ai.d by M I was encouraged to risk the great expenses. I have repeated ly )ublished that the price of my licence for the remainder of the term, should be the full price of the labor and boarding saved by the us2 of my improvements in j one year only with lawful interest until . pa:d. But to those who mtnnged my eights, and refused to pcywhen called on, I would, beginning with the year ending January 22d, 1813, count the sum saved in labor and boarding during; therlast year (equal to the first price) as a new sum become due and running on interest also ; and so on the 22d day of January in ach and every year thereafter, a new sum saved in labor and boarding becomes due and runs' on interest until licence be pur chased ; demanding the interest only, on all these new sums, leaving the principals in the hands of the users, which is the least I can receive of them to meet the expenses that they have compelled me to incur. The above are now the only terms on vhich my agents are instructed to grant licences ; and tliey are instructed to in stitute suits against all infringers without giving them another cult. Those who wish.' to purxhasa Licence may apply to John Love, Ksq. liukland, Prince William county ; to Captain L hn Moody, Richmond Va. or to MosCb Mor decai, Esq. Raleigh, N. C. OLIVER EVANS.
