We believe, eaystlie Kural New Yorker, that a crop of clover eeed ta ken from the land exhausts the Boil more than a crop which is cut for hay. Any seed crop, it is well known, ia more exhaus tive than a mere fodder crop. One strong reason for cutting timothy for hay early, is to. re move it from the soil before it has abstracted those elements which form the seed. It lm covcrishes the soil much less than if cut later. The first frrowth of clover is not crcneral Iv disnosed to seed much; hence it is not so exhaustive as other crrasscs if cut late. But the second crop, which bears the eeed, is injurious to the land at least the takinsr it away is Unless remuneration is made to the soil it will pay better to let the seoond growth oi rot on tne land, or feed it off. - - Food tok Sheep.

Thi Seventh Volume and the Seventh Year of the publication of Tit a Crisis is about to begin, and, in accordance with cus tom, we issue oar Annual Prospectus. We need not recapitulate its history during the stormy years or its existence, nor remind those who have read it, of its services ia be half of the great prinoiplea of the Democra cy, and what its conductors conceived, and what time has shown, to be the best interests of he country. Its merits have been ac knowledged from tho time it was started by that veteran and distinguished journalist, Gov. Medaet, and its present conductors simply claim for it the credit of an earnest and undeviating adherence to the plan and principles of its founder. In all the politi cal vioissitudes of the paBt six years the failure of some, the apoetacy of others, and the unguarded weakness of many, exponents of Democracy, Tub Cbisis has never donia. ted from the straight path of prinoiple, nor bien allured by temporary expedients, in timidated by threats, nor disheartened by defeat and disaster. On the score of prinoiple we claim for it the merit of fidelity, honesty, and consist ency. As a newspaper we claim for it the merit of, being an exponent of Western in terests and ideas, a reliable journal of the times, a valuable companion of the farmer, the mechanlo, the business man, and the family oirole. It is our aim to fill the large sheet with matter of real interest and per manent value to disouss questions of prin ciple that are of real significance, to inform, improve, and instruct, as well as amuse and to this end we discard the idle twaddle which gooa so far to fill up the daily papers, the obscene advertisements and the sensa tional folly of the day. We could publish hundreds of tetters from the best men of the country approving of the course of Thi Cbisis in this respect, and to this oourse we propose to rigidly adhere. The reliable market reports and the great amount of statistical, agricultural, financial, and po litical information we publish, is of im portance and value to business men, farm ers, mechanics, and politicians ; while the carefully seleoted page of literary miscella ny which each number contains, commends it to the home oirole or all. The political views of Tub Cbisis eoarcely require definition. It is in favor of Demo cratio principles in all their breadth and purity, as expounded by Thomas Jefferson, and the other really great men and founders of the. Government, and upon whioh the Government was successfully conducted for seventy years. It is opposed to the Aboli tion despotism which now controls the Fed eral Government, in all its shapes and un der whatever device it may appear. It is opposed to the entire Abolition theory of politics, and all the monstrosities, humbugs, and delusions which grow out of it. It it opposed to the thieving jascality, the ty rannical assumptions, the stupid aud bar barous policies and the lawless usurpations of Congress, and to all the machinery that the Jacobins have devised and put in opera tion to overthrow Republioau Government, inaugurate anarchy and absolutism, enslave the people, and oppress them with odious taxes, and tyrannical, insane, and oorrupt legislation. And in advocating the correct principles and opposing the evils w'e have named, we shall continue to do It without fear or favor. v In order to successfully conduct such a paper as Tub Cbisis, it must have a large list of subscribers ; and to secure that we rely upon our friends and those who have taken the paper. We oancot compete with the cheap, shoddy publications of the East by offering bogus premiums or employing traveling agents; but we earnestly solicit the aid of our readers in extending our cir culation by their personal efforts. It will require but little exertion from eaoh, but the aggregate will enable us to furnish them with a paper fully equal in site, superior in print to any Eastern publication, and of a great deal more interest and importance to Western Democrats. Friends, shall we call upon you in vain, ror the email favor we ask, and in a cause ot suoh magnitude and value? Now is the time to send in sub scriptions for the new volume, which, at the end of the year, will be worth thrice the amount of the subscription price. . Our terms are $3.00 per year, $1,60 for six months, $l.UU for four months; One extia copy will be sent to any one getting up a club of six yearly subscribers ; and to any one sending a elub of ten for six or fo ur months an extra copy for the club time. , i or a elub or ten yearly subscribers a copy of either of the five bound volumes ('61, '62, '63, 64 or 65.)
