they are the worst men and women

not the case. Their countenances
do not indicate it. I have looked

Kiisilagp.
Elsewhere we print today a le t
ter from a North Carolinian on the
subject of ensdage which we clipped .
some little time ago from the Rich
mond Jyispatch, tor the benefit of
our farmer friends. The matter is
an important one, since for example,
it is estimated that if the ensilage
system were generally applied m '
New England, the worn-out lands
of that bleak region would again
tvecome highly productive. At the
fifth annnat congress of believers in
ensilage, held recently iu New
York, the chairman of the meeting
said: "In a short time, under the
I ensilage system, the fodder supply
of the countrv would be doubled.
It is a great thing for the western
cattle raiser, for gras.s can be kept
as well as corn. I am using more
fnd more ensilage on my farm every
vear, and the more I use it the more
I like it."
The opening addres-s was made
by a Vermont farmer, who gave as
his personal experience on two
farms near
"I have 1
St. Albans the following:
fed my stock on ensilage ;
for the last six years, and today
they are in spleudid condition,
From the seventy acres of land that i
I planted with corn I obtained last
year 1,200 tons of ensilage. To ,
maice ensilage tnat win produce tne
best batter the corn should be
planted in hills from four to six
inches apart and then carefully cul
tivated. In this way we raised 27J ;
tons to the acre last year and hope
to raise 40 tons next year. The to
tal cost per ton of plowing, planting,
catting and putting in silos was
seventv-seven cents per ton. The
corn should be cat when it is be-
ginning to glaze and the weather is
dry.
After being put in the silos it
sion I would establish a beef factory
in the East and feed the cattle on
ensilage."
The conclusion of the Congress
seemed to be that ensilage m its
various forms is better than any
other kind of fodder for cattle. A
Pennsvlvaniau said ho
had used '
clover ensilage advantageously m
feeding horses. He packed it iu
the silos dry. A Connecticut man
said that be had been unable to
make good ensilage from clover.
bat that he had packed it wet.
Other farmers said thev were breed-
ing sheep on clover ensilage wit h
good results.
We do not know how well adapt
ed to North Carolina generally the
system may bo. It has beeu ap
plied with excellent results in the
neighborhood of this city. The
farmers of the State should studv
the subject. Intelligently applied j
the system would probably prove of
great value everywhere. Here-.

A Siijreestion.
The grrat work of the Department of
Agriculture of North Carolina is t" de
velop the industrial enterprise of the
Scate. We believe it has already done i
mnch in that direction. Its province is
to t&ke the lead and foter the rise in
Dew industries. The complaint in the
eastern part of North Carolina is that it
haa done nothing for thia seen n of the
Stale, and that what it commenced to
do it has abandoned. In the Hsh hatch
log business it was. we thiuk. accomp
lishing a deal of go.sl when it assumt-d
the role of Lot s wife. We are a race 1
of farmers and fishermen. As farmers
wo come in for our share of the good
work of the LVpartment for the n hole
State, bat our peculiar interests are as
fUheraneo. It is believed by thought
ful men among us that our undeveloped
oyster industry is a mine of wealth tu
us. But it ia comparatively untried.
We are poor ao-d uuable to take risk.
The board is well etpjipjpfd with lxth
brains and money and can afford to
take risks. They are dov semelhing

Recollections of Old Citizens of Jones
County.
I1Y i VR ITEMIZERj
Tim grandfather of .Joseph Kin
sey, sr., was a native
Ol rlOliaild,
one ot the tlrst
settlers of New
Berne under Gratl'enreid, whose
name was Maurice or Morris Kin
sey. We have been unable tolearu
how many children he had; from
the records we learn that one of his
sons moved to -lones county while
a young man, whose name was
.Joseph Kinsey, and settled near
the head waters of the Trent.
This old gentleman was the father
of the subject of the present sketch,
and was by trade a blacksmith and
bell maker. I further find that he
had born to him seven children,
and th,t the younger one, Joseph,
inherited the old homestead where
he resided when I first knew h:m.
He was born October 27th, 1777,
and was near (JO years old at the
date of my first recollection. The
tirst time I recollect seeing him was
at lrenton; I can well recollect how
he was having an earnest and ani
mated conversation abont the im
provement of the farm and the care
of stock with several of the old
farmers that were present.
Mr. Kinsev was not onlv a farmer,
'
but an excellent mechanic;
in laCL,
he was able to do any thing ot a
mechanical nature that was needed
in the house or on the farm: was a
blacksmith, carpenter, wheelwright
and shoemaker.
Mr. Kinsey accumulated a large
property in lands aud slaves during j
his long and useful life. I have
often heard old people remark that
if they only could make everything
that was needed at their homes,
like Mr. Kinsey, they, too, could
save monev and improve their
farms. His farm was managed
with a kind of clock work precision;
every tool had its place; no time
was lost in looking for it. Let
either son or servant neglect placing
it in its place, and the old gent was
sure to find it out and call him to a
rigid account tor his negligence.
He taught his slaves habits of
cleauliuess; would have an inspec
tion of their cabins and would call
them together every once a week,
and if their clothing was not in a
neat and cleanly order, they were
much so that he only had one plate
and a knife and fork. He was mar
ried three times. The name of his
first wife I have been nnable to
learn, but his second wife was a
Miss Brock, aud by her had six
children, four boys and two girls.
After her death he married a Miss
Susan lihem, and Dy her had twelve
children, nine boys and three girls.
All of his boys were instructed in
a mechanical '.trade; iu fact, they
were all naturally inclined and in
herited mechanicism from their
father. Mr. Kinsey, when he had
become quite an old man a with a
prosperous farm and a quiet, happy

plenty, owing no man a dollar, came
near being ruined bv signing a note
with one of his cousins who was
then doiug business at New Berne,
and as Mr. Kinsev and every one
else supposed bis business to be on I
sure and firm foundation. But not , anBin wee l"e I?1,Towmfv

off his old Panama hat and say
'John, this is t he hat that cost me
T'.oow n iieseiit irom my eousiu
all I shall ev er tret for signing his :
note. -Mr. Kinsev was a man ot
very temperate habits: never was
known to take a di ink in a barroom; '
m fact never tasted a drop only on
a Sunday morning; he would then
say he must have a dram or a pig
or a la m b.
Mr. Kinsey named all of his chil
dren, or had their names to begin
with the letter .1, aud his last son's
name was Jay Robert. The names
of Mr. Kinsey 's ancestors were
spelled thus: Kiucey, but in 1830 or
LvH it was changed to Kinsey.
1 have often thought what a re
markable mind he possessed could
recollect dateu and events with
unerring certainty; was a keen ob
server of everything and had a
well ballauced judgment on almost
everything that passed before him,
and had he been a thoroughly edu
cated man. would have been the
peer of many of our great men.
Wo loam that the old anvil that
was used by Mr. Kinsey's grand
father to shape his iron upon, is
now- iu possession ot the family and
kept by them as an heirloom, and
i' suppose they intend to hand it
over to
others who mav succeed
t hem.

with among his father's papers and is
much prized by him.
The first page and nearly half of the
second is given to the publication of a

response to the editor's request on Agri
culture, whice we reproduce verbatim
et liber atum:
Mr. Franklin.
I MAKE no Doubt you had the Good of
your Country in view, when vou in
vited your Correspondents, in your Pa
per of last Tuesday, to furnish you with
some select f leces on Agriculture, for
the Benefit of those Farmers who would
improve their Lands to the best Advan
tage, the Year Approachinsr.
I am very sensible, that this country
in general, stands in the greatest Need
of such Instruction, and this Colony in
a particular Manner. This will, in my
- . . . . . . . .
wpinion, oe a Diessea Means or banish
ing from our Farmers, the unhappy
Prejudice they have imbib'd from their
Childhood, or what they call, the
Folly of farming by Book; which when
they try with Diligence, and a right Use
of their Reason, I am sure must con
vince them of the real Necessity of farm
ing by Rule as the most certain and ra
tional Means of obtaining Wealth by
Agriculture: All other Methods now
us'd among us, are but guess Work;
which is the principle Reason why we
so often fail of Crops in this Govern
ment. In order to a regular Knowlege there
of, it is necessary the farmer should be
well acquainted with the Kind of Land
he is to work upon, as they are of sever
al Sorts. And notwithstanding it is
thought by many among us, that be
cause our Land requires Toil and Care
to make it bring forth, it is poor, and
but of small Value, compared with the
Land in England ; which allow me to
say, is a great Mistake; for with great
Truth it may be asserted, that the' natur
al uncultivated Soil of this Country in
general, is as good, if not in many
Places better, than the natural unculti
vated Soil of Great Britain, or any other
Country; and with a right Improvement
and proper Management, will yield to
none for raising Grain of all Sorts, fat
tening Cattle, and every other Thing
that the Farmer can raise in Great
Britain. Skill and Industry are only
wanting to make this little Colony as
famous and as rich as any would desire
from our own Productions.
It is remarkable, how much is yearly
rais'd among us for the Comfort of Life,
with little or no Skill or Art, but by
mere Dint of Labor: How much more
then might be rais'd yearly on the same
Lands, with a skillful Management, is
not to be conceiv'd! For with a right
Cultivation and Management, our
Lands will not wear out (as we call it
here) but will be constantly growing
better. And after we have got in our
Crops, the Land will be left in a better
State than we found it the Year be
fore: it may be kept increas
ing in Goodness during the Age of Man.
And by the same Reason, with a skill
ful Management, every Part of the Bus
iness of a Farmer may be increased both
in Produce and Value. Forthewantof
Skill in Agriculture, and proper Dili
gence, it is, that our Farms here suffer
so shamefully, and lie so neglected as
they do.
As my Countrymen do not want for
natural good Genius', what pity is it,
that they should suffer themselves to be
now and then reproach 'd with the good
and neat Management of a Piece of
Ground, by the Skill of bat an indiffer
ent Farmer From Home ! It is certain,
that a skillful and diligent Improvement
of a Country, will always make it flour
ish; without which, it must languish
and die.
In order, therefore, to remove the
Prejudices of my Countrymen, against
a regular Method of farming, and to
convince them of the Necessity of it. I
purpose in my. next to send you, for
their information, a short Tract or Essay
upon the different Sorts or Kinds of
Earth, or the Land on which they are
to work; very necessary for them first
to know, they undertake to till or im
prove it: for a Mistake there will spoil
all, and they will lose their Labor, let it
be ever so great; if that be misapplied.
In the mean Time,

Then follows a clipping from the
New York Gazette giving the situation
in Canada, an account of the evacua
tion of Fort Du Quesne by the French,
etc. The balance of the sheet is
filled with advertisements amonc
which we find a lottery advertised,
"Poor Richard's Almanacks," five bags
of cotton which were picked np at sea,
vendues, removals, blacksmith tools
and other sales, and a boarding school.
The last named advertisement is by
Sarah Osborn, who proposes that "Any
Person desirous of sending Children,
may be accommodated, and have them
instructed in Reading, Writing, Plain
Work, Embroidering, Tent Stitch.
Samplers, etc., on reasonable Terms."
We may judge from this advertisement
that industrial schools were very com
mon in those days, or at least children
were taught to do manual as well as
mental labor at school.
It is quite an interesting little sheet.
