THE CULTIVATOR, 
263 
CLOVER AS A FERTILIZER. 
ft S. W.” in the N. Genesee Farmer, thus sums up the 
arguments in favor of plowing in clover: 
« Chemistry tells us that a green crop of clover is the 
cheapest fertilizer for the following reasons: 
1st. The stalks and leaves of clover contain according 
to their weight, about 5 times as much nitrogen (the ma¬ 
gic wand of manure,) as herds grass or most other green 
crops. 
2d. The long tap root of the clover brings up from the 
sub-soil below the reach of the plow, those substances 
which are wanted in vegetation, retaining them in the 
leaves and stems of the clover to be given out when 
plowed under as food for the growing wheat. 
Lastly, large masses of the broken roots of clover re¬ 
main in the ground; these roots are worth, as a manure, 
according to Boussingault, about four times their weight 
in stable dung.”

“ Tne purest blood in this country was introduced by the late 
Mr. Grove in his own flocks, the wool from which I have been 
familiar with since their importation in 1827. In point of fine¬ 
ness and admirable felting qualities, this wool is unsurpassed 
by any flock in this country, and the fleeces average about half 
a pound each more than any other I am acquainted with of 
equal fineness. SAM’L LAWRENCE.

Chaff, Mediterranean, and English—for sale in lots to suit pur¬ 
chasers at moderate prices, by ISRAEL RUSSELL, 
Feb. 1, 1S44.—mar. oct. 26 Front-street, New-York 
N. B. The following description of some superior English 
Wheat sown in the month of October last, the product of which 
will be for sale at the above Store, is given by a respectable 
English farmer in the State of New-Jersey, who sowed about 
eleven bushels, a sample of which can yet be seen. “It is 
called the Uxbridge White Wheat, and is the most noted Wheat 
they have in England, it being of fine quality, always commands 
a high price, as the flour is used by the biscuit bakers in Lon¬ 
don; it is great for yielding, and puts out a much larger ear 
than any wheat I have seen in this country. I saw when in 
England, three years ago, on my brother’s farm in one field, 
120 acres, that yielded 40 bushels’and upwards to the acre. It 
grows very strong, and is not liable to be laid by heavy rains. 
I will warrant it free from any soil whatever. I did not see in 
the eleven bushels, a particle but Wheat; and 1 have sown it 
on Clover seed, on purpose that there shall be nothing but 
Wheat; and I will put nothing in the barn with it, so as to put 
it beyond the possibility of a doubt of its having any thing in it 
or getting mixed with other Wheat, which through carelessness 
is often the case. I have grown a great deal of it myself iii 
England, and know from experience that for yield and quality, 
there is no Wheat to compete with it. Its general weight is 
from 64 to 67 lbs. per bushel. It is smooth chaff, and easy tQ 
thrash, which is not always the case with smooth chaff Wheat.®
