MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
With renovated health and energy, she de¬ 
lights in making her home pleasant to their 
numerous guests. The daughters, no less 
delighted and interested, may lie seen assist¬ 
ing their father in laying out this parterre 
or improving that prospect; or employed in 
the garden beautifying a border, or decora¬ 
ting the Mimic temple. From constant in¬ 
tercourse with nature in its most beautiful 
forms, their minds become expanded and 
elevated, they hoard up happy thoughts and 
experiences, perhaps to pour them out in 
“ Rural Hours,” like Miss Cooper, or in some 
“ Clover-nook,” like Alice Carey, to delight 
and elevato thousands less blest than them¬ 
selves. 
If 1 were good at description, I might 
take some one of the beautiful homes, that 
any of us can call to mind, and make a pic¬

that are springing up all over our country, 
to shod their pure and happy influences hi 
every direction; an influence advantageous¬ 
ly felt by common farmers, however unwil¬ 
ling they may sometimes be to acknowledge 
the fact. These are the places where new 
modes of operating can bo tried, and the 
results published, giving to others an oppor¬ 
tunity to follow those practices which result 
favorably, and avoiding those that involve 
expense without a corresponding benefit,— 
The strongest prejudices must yield to de¬ 
monstration. A young man of intelligence, 
after working on such a farm, a few years, 
may go out and commence operations for 
himself, with all the elements of success 
garnered up from his experience. 
Enough l»as been said' to show that the 
highest earthly enjoyment may he found 
connected with the cultivation of a farm, if 
the possessor is blest with wealth, a benevo¬ 
lent disposition, and a desire to follow the 
precepts of Him who taught “whatsoever 
ye would that men should do unto you, do 
ye even so unto them.” 
Yet there is true happiness to bo enjoyed 
by those who are so fortunate as to find

A?lo\v mo, Mr. Editor, to say a few words 
; id. regard to soiling cattle. It is, in my 
view r , a subject meriting more consideration 
than it receives, not only from citizens and 
village gentlemen, who are more immedi¬ 
ately interested, hut also from farmers 
themselves. It cannot he necessary to ex¬ 
plain, that by soiling is meant, feeding- 
horses and cattle with fresh mown grass 
in the stall, instead of turning them out to 
pasture. It is not proposed, that extensive 
farmers, with large herds, should attempt 
to do this to any great extent. It is pre¬ 
sumed that all such farmers have extensive 
grazing fields sufficient for their stock ; and 
although by ranging at large, cattle might 
destroy as much pasture as they consumed, 
still it would be impracticable with their 
pressing farm work, to soil a largo herd.— 
But for the citizen, and the village gentle¬ 
man, w ho have an acre of ground that could 
he appropriated to this use, it would he, 
most decidedly, art eligible course. lo 
shelter an animal from the heat of the sun, 
and to protect him, measurably, from the 
annoyance and injury of flies, are in this 
connexion, considerations of no small mo¬ 
ment. Under such circumstances, tire ben¬ 
eficial influence and effects of feed are 
greatly enhanced. Tho saving of manuie 
in the stable, is also an item worthy of no¬ 
tice. It would hardly be thought, that an 
acre of pasture would suffice fora cow du¬ 
ring the season. But an acre of heavy 
grass might soil three or four cows. The 
economy of the practice therefore, might 
al< me furnish the most conclusive argument 
in favor of its adoption. 
Now. in regard to grasses adapted to this 
purpose, the large clover, being the most 
rapid and luxuriant growth on a soil suita¬ 
bly enriched for this particular object, I 
consider the most desirable, of all the grass¬ 
es which are ordinarily cultivated by tho 
farmer. It is by no means a matter diffi¬ 
cult and expensive, to enrich in the highest 
degree, an acre of ground for this purpose; 
and almost any citizen or village gentleman 
who keeps a horse and a cow, can command 
as much ground as this. On a soil highly 
enriched, the growth of the large clover will 
be so rapid and luxuriant, that the cutting 
nvght be commenced early; and by the time 
the entire piece is cut over, the second 
growth where it was first cut, would he ready 
to cut again. 
I have cultivated, for tho express purpose 
of soiling, tho Lucern or French clover. It 
is the earliest and most luxuriant of all the 
cultivated grasses. It has a tap root, and 
of courso is not affected by an ordinary 
drouth. Where the soil is a deep rich loam, 
the root will penetrate as deep as a parsnip. 
It is an exceedingly rich, juicy, and nutri-
