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
