ME2ffM= TUESDAY 'mobratnict, JAN. 21, 1860, Cost', of Witszta'rioduet. putiliatied last week an Ankle from the N.B.irimner_uuder the title of "How to reckon .i : the post , of farm praline," for the poem° of =Matti:Le atteettorkof pit:di:mire o the impor: taiwee of making the Oneonta calculation of tbe oast of the produaa raisedfor market. . "If If f farmerelvould.thus base their demaadief prices npon some definite knowledge of the cost, there I - would be kali. fluietuation in prices, 'and we 'should thereto ableintelligenUy to prepare,with , ; .whateitent, Ic - 4:each Succeeding crop. The following, from tho cane paper, gives the other side of the question: .1 Ts PARMaaPaonTADisT--lio one thing oper j.alut more injuriously to the interests-of agricul lure than the widely-spread cud popular idia that...finning la not profitable. It Is. almost a worker imperogatiou to reply to the „charge,. that the cultivation of the land, as an ncoupa r- Lien for the mass of the people,is ritlt a profitable 1 employment, because IL is evident lean who will look that it is rim thls source that all supplies for the sestensuce of man and beset are mainly drawn.- The art "of agriculture, underlies all other arts,and anitains them all. Ceseethe cal tiistion of the aid:hand commerce, manufactures, all sedenbei and mechanic arts, and even breath itielf, would 'seen mase r The pursuit of agriculture oa on occupation may; not, bean profitabliunder all circumstances sortie other ,pursuits. It may bo better for raj people of a sandy tract of country on the ;'sea shore4o turn their attention to fishing than bolsi/sing grain or grass, or for those in a moan ignores or rocky country to make the waters of I the viilleya turn their wheels to tranform forests into various articles for various use. There may be reasons why individuals in all our towns -i-should find employinent in agriculture less pro .fitable than some others iewhich they might en gage. Bat with en average price of labor, land r, implements, and with that degree of skill which the land demands of all,, we do not believe that many elates c! land are over cultivated at a loss , iflrtoon the crCp is not injured by blight, frost, or - 4Tcome ether easnalty. ' In the Farrier of Noveniber lttth, Mr. T. J. Pinkham, of Chelmsford,-Illaos., lent 'as an Sr. title entitled "Bow to Beckon the Cost of Perm '('Produce," in which ho intended to show, by a ; tingle Ilinstrtation of the vulture of an acre of corn that the farmer loses ;rather than. make y 4noney.by his farming operations. We did not then nor do we now, think that his premlees or r l conclusions were correct, but gladly , published ,; his bold article for the purpose of arousing pub. lie attention to this matter, and, if possible, of cstabliehing a more correct opinion in the public ; mind. In this, we aro happy to say, there is ; now a fair prospect of succeeding. As we then supposed would be the caee, men of great expo. donee in farming matters have taken np the glove thrown down by Mr. Pinkham, are oriti tieing his pceitions sharply, and reversing the picture he drew. Ma past season has been an unfavorable one ' in which to obtain a good orop of Indian corn— . too much cold and wet weather prevailing early, and it being too cold and dry in the latter part -of the season; and yet by exercising the proper care in selecting the land, in manuring eo as to ;; give the young plants an early and vigorous growth, as well as to sustain the corn during its time of maturing, we have never harvested a asunder or better crop of corn in any season. It has given us sixty-five bushels to the acre, most of which is suitable to be sent. to the etores to be sold for seed corn. W. havertot kept the precise cost of this crop, but near enough to show that it was net over seventy-sre cents per bushel. Let us see--corn tie Worth now one dollar per bushel t Bistty-Ilve bushels at $1 is... $65 00 Cost of 65 bushels at 75 ate ie.. 48 75 Profit ' $l6 26 Stover,equal to one ton of beat bey. 16 00 100 bushels turnips on ssme land.. 10 00 Bach is the present year's result with us, and '! under the same mode of treatment we have no ; doubt similar results would have followed nine times in ten. We believe that the work of a '; good farmer for twenty days till bring a crop of corn on an average of oar New Englandland that ; shall range along from 40 to GO bushels to the acre. He must:be a man of judgment; must not spend five or six daze in getting out the witch grass from as acre at tho first hoeing, instead of destroying it by very late fall and very early spring plowing. - If ho makes this mistake, or some other as great, he labors at a loss, and 'adds five' or six ; dollars to tho cost of his crop. And so with regard to several other points which it is scarcely necesearre enumerate.— _ —Y. E. Former.
