Draining wet Lands.
Before many year? there will he thousands
of acres pierced with drains. 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. W.
Seedier.
SPINAOE seed should be got ready to be sown

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. Produce bringing double
the price than in locations away Iroin the city, and moie
than double the price than the West. 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.
In the way of building and improving, lumber can be
obtained at "the mills at the rate of 410 or sls per thou
s <nd. Bricks from the brick yard opened in the place
every article can be procured in the place, good carpen
ters "are at hand, and there is no place in the Union where
buddings and improvements can be made cheaper.
The reader will at once be struck with the advantages
here presented, and ask himself why the property has not
been taken up before. The reason is, it was never thrown
in the market; and unless these statements were correct,
no one would be invited to examine the land before pur
chasing. This all are expected to do. They will see the
land under cultivation, such is the extent of the settle
ment that they will no doubt, meet persons, from their
own neighborhood ; they will witness the improvements
and can judge the character of the population. It they
come with a view to settle, they should come prepared to
stay a day or two and be ready to purchase, as locations
cannot be held on refusal.
There are two daily trains to Philadelphia, and to all
settlers who improve, THE RAILROAD COMPANY GIVES A
FREE TICKET FOR SIX MOSTHS, AND A HALF-PRICE TICKET
FOR THREE YEARS.
THE TOWN OF HAMMONTON—In connection with
the agricultural settlement, a new and thriving town has
naturally arisen, which presents inducements for any kind
of business, particularly stares and manufactories. The
Hhoe business could be carried on in this place and market
to good advantage, also cotton business, and manutacto
ries of agricultural implements or Founder its for casting
*ma/l articles. The improvement has iieen so rapid as to
insure a constant aud pe-manent increase of business
T wn lots of a good size, we do not sell small ones, as it
would effect the improvement of the place, can be had at
from SIOO and upwards.
The Hammonton Farmer, a monthly literary and agri
cultural sheet, containing full information of Hammonton,
can be obtained at 25 cents per annum.
Title indisputable—warrantee deeds given, clear of alt
incumbrance when money iR paid. Route to the land :

ble that they also furnish their own bed and bedding
when it is convenient, but when otherwise, these will be
furnished at a slight charge.
It is strongly recommended that students from abroad
should board in the Institution, as better opportunities
for advancement in study are thereby secured.
' Normal Department —Special exercises are arranged
without extra charge for those preparing themselves as
Teachers of Common Sehools. Prof. C. R COBUUN.the
able and well known Superintendent of Common Schools
in the county, has kindly consented to organize the Tea
cher's class, and direct the course to be pursued.
He will also be present to conduct its exercises as often
as practicable, and will deliver frequent lectures on the
Theory and Practice of Teaching, as also on other subjects
connected with Normal training.
Those persons, therefore, intending to engage in teach
ing tor the winter, will find it greatly to their advantage
to be present during the Fall term.
Prof. Cobnrn's connection with the institution is not
such as to in any way interfere with the discharge of the
regular duties of his office.
No pains will lie spared, on the part of the Faculty and
Trustees in sustaining the high repulatation the institu
tion has hitherto enjoyed, and in lendering it more wor
thy of future patronage and support
