Thorough Cultivation- But very few farmers in our country rea lize the importance of thoroughly cultiva ting the soil. At the West, farmers coyer a vast amount of territory, simply taking what nature produces,until the soil is worn out, aud then move to new laud to go through the same process again. At the East, although farming has been better conducted, and some attention has been paid to improvement, yet, even there the land is not thoroughly cultivated—does not produce one-half as large crops as it is capable, with thorough cultivation, of pro ducing. Under the system of farming which is generally practiced in this country, the land wears out and the crops diminish in quantity and quality. We know of large fields in the "Connecticut River Valley," one of the best tracts of farming land in this country, which have been rendered al most worthless by the wretched system of farming, which the owners followed. At the South, as well as the West, and some parts of the East, the "skinning" process has been carried on until much of the land is almost worthless. Although our country has rapidly in creased ia wealth and prosperity, and in a comparatively short time become one of the mightiest powers on earth ; and this pros perity and power have been in a great measure due to the agricultural employ ments of the people,yet if the system ot far ming now so extensively practiced contin ues to be pursued, the time will come when instead of sendiug a vast quantity of grain to foreign lands, we shall be obliged to im port for our own use. That time may seem, and un loubtedly is,very far distant ; yet il our population should, iu proportion to the present number of inhabitants, increase as fast for a century to come as it has for a century past, and the mighty tide of immi gration also continue, aijd the same system of farming be continued, the truth of our supposition will be realized. But if our soil was thoroughly cultivated there would be room and food for untold millions. Chi na and Japan support millions of inhabi tants on an almost incredible small area of land. Our soil with the same thorough cul tivation and the same amount of fertilizing, would do the sanie. This is not a mere the ory, but a fact the truth of which has often been demonstrated. Many of our readers can recall instances where a farmer with a few acres of land, which he thoroughly cultivated, made more money than one with a large farm cultiva ted in the usual manner. And what has been doue on an individual, may also be done on a national scale. With thorough cultivation, and the proper application of manure, large crops can be obtained, and the land will steadily increase in value.— We believe the great trouble with most far mers is this— they have toej much land. Prob ably two-thirds of the farmers of our coun try would be benefitted by selling from one-third to one-half their land, and thor oughly cultivating the remainder. They now plant so much that they cannot prop erly tend it, and as a natural consequence, weeds spring up, which injure the crop and the land, and cause much trouble in future years. This should not be the case ; weeds should have no place on any farm. We are well aware that the extreme high prices of farm produce for a few years past lias in duced many farmers to plant more land than usual; but now we think the high price of labor, with the downward tenden cy of prices, should induce them to do their work in a more thorough manner. The maxim, "Anything that is worth doing at all is worth doing well," is worthy the at tention of every farmer. It is far more profitable to thoroughly cultivate a small farm, than to go over,in a slovenly manner, a large one. The fences cost much less on a small farm than on a large one, and there is less care and anxiety connected with it. With thorough cultivation, we believe the same amount of grass, grain and fruit can be grown, and the same amount of stock kept on fifty acres, for which one hundred are now required. The advice we give our readers who are farmers is this : Do not buy land unless you absolutely ueed it. If you now have more than you can thorough ly cultivate,and can get a reasonable price for it, sell it at once. Thoroughly cultivate all your farm, use manure unsparingly, and make it your aim to get the largest possi ble returns from every acre of land you own. This will, we think, lead you to cer tain success in your occupation. Shoeing Horses. Were you to examine the first one hun dred horses you meet that have been shod for several years, you would scarcely find one that has a natural, well-shaped hoof, A friend brought me for examination, a beautiful, spirited animal, that, without perceptible cause, became so lame as to be nearly useless. The owner feared a foun der. On examination I found the farrier had, by repeated close paring and rasping, nearly ruined the beast. The enamel of the hoof had been broken, and fine dirt was ir ritating the "quick." The bottom of the hoof had been shaved so thin that a light blow between the frog and toe made the animal cringe with pain. Another instance of uial-practice that came under my notice was of a horse that had a club foot, caused by improper side-clipping. This horse had by nature an uncommonly broad hoof, and to remedy the defect the farrier had made extensive inroads on the sides, and nature, to restore the equilibrium, and reconstruct the missing part, contracted the toe and bulged the sides above where they had been clipped, producing thus a great de formity. Almost universally, where lame ness occurs from flat foot, it is occasioned by improper shoeing. Where this defect exists, the heel should never be pared, and (lie shoe should be made stiff enough to prevent hard pressure on the heel, and it is sometimes advisable to place the heel-cork on one side of the shoe. Very bad cases have been remedied by putting on a round shoe, with leather or rubber between the shoe and hoof, if too many nails are inser t<- the heels without in convenience. 4th. Siße clips should be avoided, they destroy the hoof ; this is the case when the nails are too close together. The fee should never be rasped, as it destroys the enamel of the hoofs, renders them brittle,and caus es sandcracks and lameness. Masouville, N. Y" E. P. VAIL. Experiments in the Application of Manure. Having read much, conversed much, and thought much on this subject, I resolved to experiment somewhat, for my own and oth ers benefit, I divided a four acre lot, that had long been used as a pasture, the soil of which was clayey loam, with a slight mixture of chalk and marl, resting at the depth of some twenty inches on "hard-pan," with an occasional out-cropping boulder,but free from small stones,into four equal parts. Ou the first part I spread thirty loads of good composted manure, aud then turned it under. Part second I first plowed and then .turned it under. Part second I first plow ed and then spread with the same manure as before, in like quantity, then harrowing and cross-plowing both portions. Part third I plowed, harrowed and cross-plowed, then spread on the surface thirty loads from the same manure heap as above. Part fourth I plowed, harrowed and cross-plow ed. without manuring,then sowed the whole to oats, and stock with timothy and clover. The yield of oats on pieces first and fourth was very nearly equal, aud light ; that of piece second was much better ; while the third piece produced a heavy crop. After harvest I drew and spread on the fourth piece thirty loads of the same manure ap plied to the other pieces, taking care io spread it evenly over the young plants of timothy and clover. When I cut my grass the following year I got only a fair crop from my first piece, where I turned tin? or dure under the sod. The second acre,which I enriched after the first plowing, was con siderably better ; and the tlird, which was manured after the piece was made ready to sow, was a decided improvement on the second ; while on the fourth piece, which received the top-dressing,tiie grass was just as heavy as could staud.and yielded a good second crop. The following is a synopsis of my con clusions deduced from the above experi ments :—On the first acre the manure was buried too deep, and doubtless much of its virtue carried away by the water-sources which exist between the soil and "hard-pan." On the second much of the manure was also too deep to be taken up by the plant roots, and shared the fate of the first. On the third acre, the manure being harrowed in with the oats and grass seed, gave to both a vigorous growth ; while the manure on the la6t piece, being applied directly on the tender roots, protected them from the sun's rays, and absorbed and retained the ammo nia from the atmosphere, and drinking in the dew and rain, it furnished immediately the necessary food for the young plants,and gradually decomposing aud entering the soil directly about the roots, tended effect ually to mature a rapid and splendid growth. A PRACTICAL FARMBR. Delaware Co., N. Y. Transplanting- June being the month when the trans planting of many kinds of vegetables in the garden,and other plants in the field takes place, perhaps a few thoughts and sugges tions on tne subject would not be inappro priate. It may appear to some to be some what of an unnatural operation ; and to a certain extent it is, as nothing of the kind happens in nature. It is done to perfect nature, or rather to assist nature to perfect herself, by giving the plant those advan tages which it can only enjoy under the care of man. The tendencies and capabili ties of plants are taken advantage of, to serve our cwn purpose. Iu this cultivation, we endeavor to induce the plant to a differ ent growth from that in a wild or unculti vated state ; but we should follow as near as may be, natural laws in doing this. If the roots are very much cramped or torn, the growth of the plant suffers according ly ;so also of the leaves. Plants absorb moisture at the roots,and give it off through the leaves. Now, it is a law of uature, if a plant giv< s off more moisture than it takes in, it will wilt as a consequence ; and this takes place when plants are transplanted in dry soil, A wet or moisture soil aud at j mosphere is therefore the best, or most ; proper time for transplanting. The most ! careful taking up of plants will break off i more or less of the small fibrous roots, and oftentimes some of the larger roots. Wher ever these are broken off, new fibres are thrown out,which has a tendency to hasten the growth and maturity of the plant ; and or this reason, it is some instances advi sable where an early maturity is desired,to either chip the ends of tiie roots off a little, or prick tliem out twice or more. As re marked, a moist or damp time is the best for transplanting ; yet it can be safely done at any time, by taking proper precaution. \\ hen the plants are getting large, and no sight of immediate rain or wet weather,they may be taken up with a small ball of earth and transplanted very readily where but few are to be done j whore many are to be transplanted, this, on account of the labor involved, would be impracticable. In such a case, proceed in the following way : \\ ith a watering pot or other sprinkler, wet the plant bed thoroughly, then take carefully therefrom, a few at a time, and and carefully set in the gardener field as desired. A careful hand should perform the setting, followed by another to thor oughly water them after setting ; as it is better to set, and then water,than to water the ground first. In the first inslance, the soil fills in close around the roots, and the water has tkejteudency of settling it still closer about them \\ hen the soil is wet previous to setting, it is apt to be sticky or putty-like,and will adhere to the fingers,and unless extra precautions are used, the ob ject is badly accomplished. After having est and watered plants thus, they should be immediately covered with short hay, or green grass, mhich is preferable to leaves or the like, as either will suitaoly protect the plant from the sun's rays, and in case of rain or heavy dew, will readily admit its passage through, and being absorbed by the soil in contact with ths plant. In all transplanting, the plonts should be set a trifle lower tliau they stood in the seed bed ; and should have the roots somewhat spread, and filled iu around closely, with soil well pressed up to them, by the observing of which, little difficulty need be apprehended of plants not living, always provided they are well watered.

It is more durable, more naturai in appearance, and much better adapted to the gum than any other kind of work. Those in need of the same are invited to call and exam ine specimens. Teeth filled to last for years and often t mes for life. Chlorojoim, ether, aiul "Nitrous oxide" administered with perfect safety, as over four hundred patients within tbe last four years can testify.
