farmer's oquttmcut. Make a Map of the Farm. Few of onr farms are in a finished state Most of them aie more in the rntv slate than nn ture left them,and hare to he recovered from tin consequences of the had management of their former occupants. Th?y are yet chaotic, and It will take more than six days of lahor, to round them into forin, to separate land from water, aud to turn the waste into fruitful field. They are to be made as mnch as the house that baa only its frame-work reared, or the ship that stands 011 the stocks, with implanted ribs and beams. Many are waking np this un finished state of their farms, and have already begun certain improvements, and have plan ned certain others, which hide their time. But the improvement of a particular field is too often undertaken without any reference to j the rest of the fann, and a great deal of iabor is needlessly expended. We have seen one field drained, and its water carried off ou to the adjacent fieid only to make it more wet ! and valueless than ever. The only way in which farm improvements may be mnuag< d with economy, is to regard the farm as a whole, J and to make every improvement with refer- i euce to a system which shall embrace the whole A house to suit the occupant, can be built much cheaper at the outspt, than to j modify the plan and make successive additions, in so many successive years. The architect finds a plan iudispeiuible to do his work. The whole work is projected from cellar to garret, the size of every room and its estimated cost put down. The ship builder does not touch a stick of timber, until he has his model comple- j ted, and the length and size of every timber in 1 the vessel estimated. The farm, as it ought to be, is simply a ma-' chine for the production of crops, as the ship | is a machine for navigating the water. It has to be made out of the materials which nntnre 1 furnishes, all requiring more or less modifica tion, to adapt them to the purposes of produc- j tion. It is manifest, then, that the first step of the farmer to improvement, is to form a clear idea ofwhnt he wants in u farm. He is the owner of, say three hundred acres of land, embracing the usual variety of forest, swamp, J >asture and tillage. Some of it is light sandy and, some heavy clay, and another portion is so rocky, that it has never been plowed. The ; forest of fifty acres, he wishes to retain for fuel { and timber, so that that may lie regarded as a | fixture. He has determined upon a rotation of crops embracing a six years course. He therefore needs but six large fields to carry 011 his course of cropping. Deducting ten acres for his farm buildings, lawn, garden, orchard, &c., he has 240 to be ent. np into six lots of forty acres each. This is his plan. li s fann, j as it lies now, is divided into twenty lots, or more, has rocks to be removed, brush pastures to be cleared up, and swamps to drain. This cannot all be done in one year, but in six years, he can do it, and make it pay. So he ; draws his map of the farm as it is, and deter- 1 mines to begin his improvements upon the low- j er side, where there is a good outlet for all the ! water that he wishes to drain off. He finds J npoiPthis side of the farm, four or five fit 1 s to he thrown into one $ and a swale of three acres with a hard clay subsoil, that must be 1 furnished with tile ; and several gravelly knolls i that need a coating of clay. With a map before him, the farmer can project oil these improvements, ns he sits by j the Winter fire. lie can calculate very accu rately how many rods of new fence will need to be made, how many rods of ditch mu*t bo j dug, and how many tiles he must order, and about what will be the cost of the operation.' He can tell, within a fraction, how many loads of clay or muck he will need upon the grave! , hills, to cover them an inch thick. His whole pathway of improvement will be clear and iu minous, and lie will not become discouraged, and leave a thing half done, like a man w ho is feeling his way in the (lark. The assurance | that he is on the path of improvement is worth everything to the farmer. There is no good reason why he should not pursue his purposes with as much cheerfulness, and confidence of success, as the house or the ship-builder. Let him map his farm, and go forward into the ex ecution of a plan, resolutely, and patiently, and in due time, he will have a machine for pro ducing crops, admirably adapted to his wants, arid to his market.— American Agriculturist. CARROTS FOR STOCK. —Can anything be bet ter as Winter food for all kinds of animals, than this familiar root ? We have used it for several years with most gratifying results.— It is not only useful as a " relish" with other fodder, as apples and vegetables are for man kind in the Winter, but it contains valuable nourishing properties, and may be used as an alternate substitute for other food. Wc are not surprised to learn that the keepers of live- : rv stabies in cities are beginning to use car rots for horse food. They hold that a peck of carrots and a peck of oats are bettor for a horse than two peeks of oats. All animals re quire for their health and comfort green food 10 mix with their dry fodder, and their Win ter bill of fare is deffieient, if it does wot in clude carrots. We have the report of an experiment made by a careful farmer to test the relative value of several kinds of food for milch cows with the following result : three pounds of carrots equal to one pound of hay. This would make three tons of carrots equal to one ton of hay — t. f., for producing milk ; but for fattening puposes, we should place the carrot near upon a par with hay. This also is true of it, that it yields larger crops than the potatoc, is mo e nutritions, is better adapted to this climate than rota-baga or tnrnips, can be more readi ly and better kept through the Winter, and is more easily prepared for feeding, as it does not require boiling or steaming, unless it be for swine. We sometimes meet in our exchan ges, with various receipts for coloring Winter made butter ; hnt we believe the best way to accomplish this is by feeding the cows on good orange carrots, and leave to them the work of coloring the hotter. The culture is not too difficult. Give the ground a liberal manuring with well decompos ed dung, and if to this is added a mixture of muck or chip dirt, it will help the matter.— Of course, the plowing and harrowing must be thoroughly done. Sow in drills two feet apart, if for horse tillage ; if done with the hand, at less distance. Sow when the soil is a little moist, and press tire earth firmly over the seed.— American Agriculturist. I®" IT is reported that in Taunton, Mass , several fat hog* have been stolen first by ad ministering chloroform, and then taking them from the pens, without so much as raising a squeal. itII6CCUAtU'OIO.
