Jfatmcr's gcpartnicut Too Much Land. T!n> greatest il fficully nmler which our fanners labor in this country is the iar^cquan tity of land they ntteiii|>t Jo cultivate, but which, for the most part, they only exhaust of tlip riches which nature has treasured in it.-- The plowing, the manuring, the draining are defective. Year after year the same depth is stirred up and no new element brought into operation till the surface is literally thinned off iu the process of bearing. To us the use of plaster as the only maanrc appears injurious. It is a stimulant and little more, and Without deep plowing to bring up new elements, pre viously unacted upon, must soon deteriorate the soil. The manuring process is almost entirely neglected, and yet there are many sources whence the farmer might derive rich sup plies which are left untouched. The head rid ges and foot ridges of fields long cultivated he come higher than the rest of the field, from carrying with it portions of the soil and de positing it at the turnings. This ought to be carried off to the baru-vard and placed in such a position that it would be acted upon by the cattle, and when sufficiently saturated and mix ed it will form a rich permanent basis for crops. The process of draining is expensive, but its effect son the land are pcrmanant. If drains were dug to the depth of three feet or more, as the soil might seem to require, and where stones abound on the soil, let these draius be filled up with them till within eighteen inches of the surface, ami then a quantity of straw, hay or grass be spread upon them to prevent the earth from sinking through among the stones. Such a drain will last for centuries, and tlveir effects be evident to every observer. Tlow many acres are left year after year un healthy, unproductive marshes, that a few dol lars judiciously expended would make the very best land, not for one year only, but for all time to come, lint these matters will not occupy the thoughts of farmers till they ars compelled to think of them. Lands are too cheap and too plenty, and therefore not half farmed. The following re marks, made by a Mr. Sleeper before an Agri cultural Society, sustain our asssertion : "The great obstacle to the improvement of American Agriculture, is the propensity of the farmer, the mania, I might call it, to own more land than he can till to advantage. And it is thus that wc see scattered over the country large tracts of sterile, unproductive land which j under good cultivation, would yield bountiful ! and abundant crops. Not only the dictates j of sound philosophy, but numerous facts, drawn j from experience, are constantly and loudly i calling upon the farmer from every quarter — ! occupy a small farm and cultivate it well. I wish that this admonition could be thundered into the ears of the agricultural population of our country, until a complete revolution shonld be produced in the farming system. This gi eat truth is already beginning to bo understood in other countries, and is attended with corres ponding advantages. The densest population in Europe may be found in Flanders and Lom bardv, where the land is divided into small farms, and being thoroughly tilled, produces abundant food for the inhabitants. And the experience of a quarter of a century in France, proves, that by the occupation of the country under small farmers, the land is producing one third more food, and supporting a population one-third greater, than when it was possessed in large masses. The law is universal that the secret of success in Agriculture, consists in the thorough cultivation of a small piece of ground, which, well manured and well worked, yields up its treasures in prodigal profusion. In al most every section of this country, one capital error runs through the whole farming system. A great deal of money is invested in land, and a very little employed in its cultivation. And it is sad to see a proprietor of a large farm, pride himself upon the number of acres which he possesses, and undertakes to cultivate tho soil without sufficient means." What a Farmer Weeds. The first thing of all is a thorough, practical and scientific knowledge of his business. To acquire this he must have experience by ei ther working with a good farmer or by seeing such working. Good farmers are not made by reading alone. I do not object to reading, but insist that to be n good farmer there must be much reading, for information must be had, and it matters not whether it is obtained by hearing and seeing or by reading. For in stance, suppose a man sees his neighbor using sotao invention or some improvement either in fnrin machinery or in the rotation or cultiva tion of crops, and after thoroughly testing it himself, lie should write out a description and lmve it printed in an agricultural paper or in a book. Would it not be as well to adopt af ter reading about it, as to wait till it is told face to face ? The next thing is to have some capital.— If you have no capital, work a farm on shares or hire one till you have. There is uo use of exposure to the hardships aud risks of draining and cultivating the woods or the prarie unless there is some inonev to provide for necessities. A hard working man, with only a few liundri d dollars, can make money on unimproved land, but it is hard business. O.ie or two thousand dollars will buy a good farm in the West, with a dwelling, out-houses and feuces. Fanners iiere live as comfortably as at the cast and nuke money a great deal faster. If it is true that in all new States there are agues and fe vers, but there arc offsets by the absence of consumption, inilamation of the lungs, and the like eastern diseases. A western man dreads the eastern diseases about as much as the eas tern dreads the western. Large farmers need machinery, such as mowing and reaping ma chines, corn shelters, and thrashing and clean ing machines ; also, a saw mill to saw all the {ine wood and saw boards and other lumber into pickets or into any roquisite form ; a grist ntiil to grind corn ami nil other kinds of grain as fine as a farmer requires ; a straw cutter, a cider mill and a press, which also answers for a cheese or wine press, cost only about thirty dollars a piece, and for which the same horse power will answer ; all arc extensively desira ble and valuable if not positively necessary. The above mentioned machines are simple in their construction, and arc cheap, desirable and profitable. Farming requires no more labor than most other kinds of busiuess, but it must be strictly attended to. A head is worth as much as a linml. Every thing must be. done its season. The weather is particularly to l>c consulted, to do which a knowledge of the rain clouds i* desirable.- H illiini re II . i t-/n Sun. Business Curbs. HP F. MA I) ILL, M.
