JFARM, It AGRICULTURAL CAPITAL. From the (iermantutcn Telegraph. What in the hands of the farmer constitutes capital? With the merchant, cash is capital; with the land speculator, land is capital; with the farmer, cash, land and stock are capital.— nor do these constitute all a farmer's capital —many other items, too often overlooked, also forai capital, such as implements, ma nure, and, most of all labor. Capital is either productive or non-produc tive; a million of dollars in gold or silver, or one tbousaud acres of unproductive land may be capital, but while it remains in this state it produces nothing, and the owner may be actually growing poorer. Increase in wealth does not depend so much upon the amount of capital as upon the use made of it; and in nothing is this more plainly shown than in farming. There is many a farmer who commenced on fifty acres; on this he annually expended twenty per cent in manure, labor, Ac. Ac., and the produce was perhaps forty per cent. — Eucouraged by this success, he adds fifty acres more, but does not proportionally in crease his actiee capital, and the profits are lessened iu proportion. Still he has not land enough, and buys more, still adding very little or nothing to his active capital. The conse quence is that while on fifty acres he made forty per cent., on five hundred he would realize nothing. He has converted his pro ductive into non-productive capital. There is nothing more true than that the inordinate desire for large farms has been the ruin of thousands. It, is true that a large farm may be made as productive as a small one; but to do this there must be expended ou it an amount of active capital, in the shape of manure, labor, A c., in proportion—a thing rarely done. Let no one undertake to have or hold more land than he has capital to manage well. We hear a certain class of farmers( so cal led) say they are "too poorto buy lime, 17 "too poor to buy cattle," to make manure, These are the kind who have too much land. Such a farmer, holding one hundred acres, would find it more profitable to dispose of fifty, and expend the proceeds as active capital ori the remaining half. What is the use of capital if it is not to ex pend it so that it may increase? If a farmer has surplus capital, the best manner in which he can invest it is in lime or manure for his farm. If he cannot get six per cent, from it in this way he does not de serve the name of farmer. If a farmer has fifty acres, with a soil only six or eight inches deep, instead of buying more let him double what he has, by doub ling the depth of the soil. Draining makes a good, permanent and safe investment for surplus capital. Such invest ments not only pay an interest as they go along, but also increase the capital by increas ing the value of the farm. A western writer has said that "large farms are the curse of the West;" nor does this ap ply to the West alone, but also to the East. By increasing the depth of his soil, the far mer increases his crops, without increasing his number of acres, and with little or no extra expense in labor. fn this way a farm of fifty acres may pro duce more than many of one hundred now yield; such at least is the opinion and expe rience of SABSFIEI.D. Buckingham. Bucks Co., Pa. DRAINING LAND. The dry weather that follows the closing of Summer is a favorable time for draining low, or naturally moist lands. At this season the natural springs are diminished, the ground is settled, and other labor on the farm permits attention to such work better than at any oth er season. Thorough draining, as a means towards the successful improvement of wet soil, is an acknowledged fact. But the ex pense, with the uncertainty of immediate profit, frightens many farmers from a judi cious system of ditching and draining lands which would be the most productive and val uable of their estates. Again, there are lands convenient for outlet and full of water, which would cost little, save labor, to render the drainage perfect. Yet these lands fre quently remain in their natural state year af ter year, producing crops cf little value, and passing from one proprietor to another, with out improvement. Ihere is no data, or estimate in general, whereby to ascertain the net cost of draining per acre. Everything will depend on the na ture of the soil, the cost of labor, material, depth and extent of drains, Ac. Brick tiles of the horse-shoe, sole and pipe varieties are unquestionably the best, although more cost ly. Stone drains are cheaply constructed where the material is close at hand. Board and brush drains answer a temporary pur pose; but we would advise either of the first mentioned where land is valuable and capital is in hand. I'nderdrainage, unlike some farm improvements, never pays if done in a cheap, unskillful manner. It must be exe cuted with some engineering art, with the ob ject of permanency, and of rendering the soil better adapted to plant growth. There are fietde on almost every furm that have too much water, a surplus of jwhich re tards vegetation by preventing the free acce.s of the atmosphere; also preventing the de composition of food on which the crops, eith er grass or cereals, depend. Such lands is cold, inert and sour. If under cultivation, it cannot be ploughed in Spring, until most other lands are planted; then, if the season is cold, or wet, the crop is invariably light— frequently not above the cost of cultivation. If in grass, such lands yield coarse, sour hay, or indifferent pasturage. .Manure, rotation of crops, and even the best cultivation, fail to bring remunerative returns. The only reme edy is drainage. Sometimes undue moisture is caused by rainfall only, which can be obvi ated by open ditches, where the right fall or descent can be reached. More frequently we find wet land underlaid with an impervious stratum, along which spring water flows, seeking an outlet on the surface. This water, and its evaporrtioD, make the top soil too wet for cultivation or the maturity of the crops. Scientific agriculture teaches this great truth: Drainage increases temperature of soils. It makes the soil dry, porous and fria ble. It then absorbs the atmospheric air, the solar heat and other plant food. It also aids the decomposition ot manures and all vegeta ble matters that produce fertility. Here is the great mystery of drainage explained. ou dig the trenches, lay the ties, and Nature finishes the operation. The superfluous wa ter passes off through your drains, the land produces u more rapid vegetation, the tem perature is increased, and large crops follow eaehreturuing season. Instead of a cold, sour, ungenerous and unfruitful soil, you have the best land on the farm, reclaimed, improved and made profitable by drainage. There are several other facts, not generally known, connected with drainage. Experience has proved that undrained lands are more li able to suffer from drought than those thor oughly drained. The former, in a dry time, become baked and compact, and do not read ily absorb moisture from the atmosphere; but a well drained soil, open and friable, receives into its pores, absorbing like a sponge, the dew and aqueous vapor in the air. This mois ture is thus taken down through the soil to the roots of the plants. Another evil of un drained land, it is more subject to frosts —Ar- tie Jack visiting it earlier than fields that are naturally dry. Again, Winter grains, and even grasses, are badly injured by freezing and thawing, (in the M intor months), on moist, wet lauds. The roots of both grass and grain are frequently "thrown out GO this undrained soil, and the crop destroyed or materially injured. Undrained land, under peculiar circumstances, also engenders fevers and agues—proving that health is sometimes periled and lost by living in close proximity to low lands that are always saturated with moisture. PFTOAMIG. SOMEBODY says the ladies' pet auimals are VVeet Pointers. A "great brute of a husband" advertises in the morning papers for a stout, able-bodied man to hold his wifes' tongut. WHY are radishes like telepraphicdi-patch es? The most natural reply is, because they are re(a)d. The real answer, however, is be cause both must to token cum grano satis. "WHAT is the difference twixt a watch and a fedder bed, Sam?" "Dtinno—gin it up." "Because de tickin of de watch is on the in side, and the tickin of the bed is on the out side. JOXES and Brown met at the post-office. Jones complains of a bad smell about the office, and asks Brown what it can be. Brown doesn't know, unless it may be the large num ber of (lead letters. As afflicted editor, who is troubled with hand organs under his window, longs for the "evil days" mentioned in Ecclesiastics, when the "grinders shall cease because they art tew," aud the "sound of the grinding" shall be "low." "I believe that mine will be the fate of Abel," said a wife to her husband one day. "Why so?" inquired the husband. "Because Abel was killed by a club, and your club will kill me if you continue to go to it every night." A HORRIBLE crime is reported from the east side of thh town. In the calm ot the evening—with nothing to provoke or extenu ate such a crime—a ballet-girl retired to her own room and executed her grandpas'! The coroner Las not been itotified. A COI .VTBVMAX going to market with a load of pork, was met by a young girl who very genteelly made him a low courtesy, when he exclaimed: "What! do you make a courtesy to dead hogs?" "No, sir," answered the girl, "to a live one." AT a council of Generals, c-arly in the war, one remarked that Major was wounded, and would not be able to perform a duty that was assigned him. "Wounded!"' said Stone wall Jackson; "if it is really so, I think it must have been by the accidental discharge of his duty." (JOXES has been telling Robinson one of his splitting stories.) Robinson —" Ya-as, it's very funny!" Jones— Then, why the douce don't you laugh?"' Robinson —"My dear fellah, I would with pleasure, but I daren't display any emotion—these trousers are so tremend ous tight Two old friends met, after a separation of thirty-five years. "Well, Tom," said one, "how has the world gone with you, old boy? Married yet?" "Yes, and I've got a family you can't match—seven boyr and one girl." "I can match it exactly," was the reply, "lor I have seven girls and one hoy." \ NOTHER VETO OK HIGH PRICKS: WHICH IS WORTHY OF NOTE. You can save 25 percent, by buying your goods of GEO* R. & W.
