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

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.

A "great brute of a husband" advertises in

WHY are radishes like telepraphicdi-patch

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

"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

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

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."
