But the induce ments to it which make 'it wise i'i England and New England do not yet, generally, exist In the west. The expense of draining one acre would buy two. Many farmers have already more arable land than they can till to advan tage. Land redeemed from slough would uot pav for itself in many years. But although a general introduction of drain ing would not be wise, there arc many cases in which to a limited extent, it should be practic ed. Lauds lying near to cities are sufficiently valuable, and the market for fanning products sure enough, to justify the reclaiming of wet pieces of land. On small farms of forty and eighty acres, surrounded by high-priced lands, not easily procured for enlarging his farm if the owner should wish it draining might be employ ed with advantage. A man with a smaUdmm can afford expenses for high cultivation which would break a Large farmer. Some times a large meadow or arahle field is marred by a wet slash through the middle of it ; a farmer would not begrudge the labor of draining for the snke ot having his favorite field withont a blemish. Some times farms ar intersected by wit lands, which make the pas sage from one part of the farm to another difficult at all times, and almost impassable at at some seasons of the year. Draining might be re e orted to in such a case, no so much for the sake of the land reclaimed, as for the con venience of the whole farm. We know pieces of wet, pent? meadow land lying close by the furm-house, the only draw back to lite beauty of the place. A good far mer would wish to recover such a spot for the ' same reason that he would prefer a handsome j hou*e to a homely one—a fine horse over a I coarse looking animal—a subtly fence, rather I than a clumsy one. There is much string laud —but high, flat, and cold —which is wet through all the spring, resisting seed till long efter other portions of the farm are at work, and which would, but for this backwardness, be regarded as the best land. If without great j expense, such land could be cured, for farmers i would miud the trouble or labor. There are three kinds of draining which may be employed according to circumstances—sub soil-plowing, furrow-draining and ditch drain- j ing. When a soil is underbound by a compact, impervious xt/ijoi/all the rain or melting snow i is retained in the soil until it can exhale and I evaporate. For the subsoil acts like a water tisrht floor, cr the bottom of a tub. Subsoil plowing, by thoroughly working through this uuder crust, gives a downward passage to the moisture ; water sinks as it does in sandy loans. Nor will such treatment be less useful to pre vent the injury of summer drought; for the depth of soil affords a harbor for roots front whence they can draw moisture when the top soil is dry as ashes. But there is a limit put to this treatment by the amount of clay contained in tne subsoil.— It has been experimentally ascertained in Eng land, that when the soil contains as high as forty-three per cent, of alumina (clay)eubsoil plowing is useless, because the clay soon coa lesces and is as impervious as ever. In such cases, if the land has a slight inclination in any direction, furrow-draining may, in some meas ure, relieve it. The ground is mui ked out in lands as for sowing grain and plowed with back-furrows, throwing the earth loward the centre. The rain aud snow will run to either side, and flow off by the channels left between each strip. This treatment docs not relieve the land, to any great extent, of water contain ed in it, but acts as a preventive, by carrying off the rain and snow before they are absorb ed.—H. W. Bcrrher, in Plain and Pleasant Talk about fruits, Blowers, and Farming. MAKI.VO FARM LABOR FASHIONABLE —At the base of the prosperity of any people lies this great principle— make farm labor fashionable at home. Educate, instruct, encourage ; and offer all the incentives you can offer, to give interest and dignity to labor at home. Enlist the heart and the intellect of the family in the support of a domestic system that will make labor attractive at the homestead. By means of the powerful influences of early home educa tion, endeavor to invest practical labor with an interest that will cheer the heart of each member ot the family, and thereby you will give to your household the grace, peace, refine ment nnd attraction which God designed, a home should possess. The truth is, we must talk more, think more, i cork more, and ad more, in reference to ques tions relating to home. The training and improvement of the physical, intellectual, social and moral powers and senti ments of the youth of our country, require something more than the school-house, academy college ai d university. The young mind should receive judicious training iu the field, in the garden, in the barn, in the workshop, in the parlor, in the kitchen—in a word, arouud the bearthstoue at heme. VVh atevcr intellectual attainments yonr son may have acquired, he is unfit to go forth into society if he has not had thrown around him the genial and purifying influences of parents, sisters, brothers,-and the man saving influence of the family government. The nation must look for virtue, wisdom, and strength, to the education that controls and shapes the home policy of the family circle. There can be no love of country where there is no love of home. Patriotism, true and genuine, the only kind worthy of the name, derives its mighty strength from the fountains that gush out around the hearthstone; and those who forget to cherish the household interests, will soon learn to look with indifference upon the interests of their common couutry. We must cultivate the roots—not the tops We must make the family government, the school, the farm, the church, the shop, the agricultural fairs, the laboratories of our future greatness. We must educate our sons to be farmers, artizans, architects, engineers, geolog ists, botanists, chemists—in a word, practical men. Their eves must be turned from Wash ington to their States, counties, townships, dis tricts, homes. This is true patriotism ; and the only patriotism that will perpetually preserve the nation.— Guv. Wright. THE best 6tock a man can invest in is the stock of a farm ; the best shares ore plow shares ; and the best banks are the fertile banks of the rural stream ; the more these are broken the belter dividends tbey pay.—if.

ANEW AGRICULTURAL SETTLE MENT To all wonting farms, a rare opportunity | in a delightful and healthy climate 25 miles southeast of Philadelphia on the Camden and Atlantic Railroad, New I Jersey. An old estate consisting of several thousands of I acres of productive .nil has been divided into Farms of ; various sizes to suit the purchaser. A population of some | Fifteen Hundred, from various parts of the middle States | and New England have settled there the past year, im i proved their places, and raited excellent crip*. The ! priec of the land is at the low sum of from sls to 120 1 per acre, the soil is of the best quality for the production of V\~hcnt, Clover, Corn, I'eaches. Grape* and t'egeta • ble*. It is considered the best fruit soil in the Union— ! The place is perlectly secure from frosts—the destructive | enemy of the farmer. Crops of grain, grass and fruit are now growing and can be seen. By examining the place itself, a correct judgment can be formed of the produc i tiveness of the land. The terms are made easy to secure the rapid improvement of the land, which is only sold for ! actual improi ement. The result has been, that within the 1 past year, some three hundred haute* have been erected. 1 two mills, one steam, four stores, some forty viuyard and i Peach orchards, planted, and a large numlier of other j improvements, making it a desirable and active place of | business. The Market, as the reader may perceive from its loca tion. is the best in the Union.

It is known that the earliest and best fruits and vegetables in this latitude come from New Jersey, aud are annually exported to the extent of millions. In locating here, the settler has many advantages. He is within a few hours ride of the great cities ot New Eng land and Middle States, he is near his old friends and as sociations, be is in a settled country where every improve ment of comfort and civilization it at hand. He can buy every article he wants at the cheapest price, and sell his produce for the highest, (in the West this is reversed.) lie has schools for his children, divine service, and will enjoy an open winter, and delightful climate, where lev ers are utterly unknown. The result of the change upon those from the north, has general}' been to restore them to an excellent state of health.
