C
AGRICULTURE.
A PRINCIPLE OF AGRICULTURE AND ITS
APPLICATION.
If all the produce of a farm be expended on
it, and if all the resulting fertilizers be prop
erly preserved and wisely applied, and &judi
cious rotation of crops, with deep and clean
cultivation, be practiced, the productiveness of
that farm, without the aid of purchased fertili
zers, will increase in a rapid ratio. Ido not
state this as anything new, for I do not sup
pose there is a farmer in the land who has not
known it long, nor a man of science anywhere
who doubts or could doubt it, any more than
he could doubt that sunrise is warm or that ice
is cold. I will go further and newt that if
half the produce of a farm be expended on it
(remaining conditions as above,) that farm
must increase in its capacity for producing
crops as a matter of necessity, and that with
out the addition of purchased fertilizers. Ido
not suppose there is a really intelligent, thor
oughgoing, observant farmer who doubts this,
nor a sciet - ?Se man, who has investigated the
laws of nal -e in their relations. to so is and
crops, but vt, 111 d admit its truth. Those who
have most theronghly investigated the subject
would go farther still, and would say that you
may sell three-quarters of the produce, expend
ing only one-fourth on the farm, and then even.
if you save and apply the resulting fertilizers
in the best manner and proceed wisely in all
o the r respects, the farm need not dtteriorate,
but may rather improve from year to year.
Land nicely cultivated to a reasonable
depth, not put to the task of producing a areal
zrop more then once in three or four years.
and kept in grass half of the time or more, will
hold its own by the return of only a email part
of what is taken from it. This is the proper
view to be taken by farmers far from markets.
To transport foreign fertilizers is for them
costly. A part of the produce must be sold or
exchanged to procure Eueh necessaries as will
net grew ft - ore the soiL lint the very.foct of
being far from market makes land cheaper.
The farmer can hold more acres with the same
capital. Ile can therefore afford to task his
land less severely, to keep it in grass a larger
lan/portion of the time, and in other ways avoid
the spoiling of hie land.
And farther, the soil has a great many ways
of recuperating itself. Every snow-flake and
rain-drop brings it a little fertility. The dews
it absorb§ add something to its producing pow
er. The very breezed that View over a freshly
turned soil have something in them for plant
food. The divive arrangements, which we call
the laws of nature, are, that the soil shall pu
rify the sir, making it more fit for respiration,
while at the same time the air feeds the soil.—
The manuring of land is only co-operating with
nature. So long as soil is cleanly cultivated a .
part of the time, and is lying in grass the rest
of the time, it is the constant recipient of fer
tility from nature's hand, sufficient to secure
the growth of moderate crops perpetually ; and
the hand of industry only adds more fertilizing
matter, and thereby secures larger crops.
The ideaof "a little land well tilled" is a
good one, where population is dense, and prices
are high. Where population is sparse, and
prices are reduced by the cost of transporta
tion to market, a different role should be adop
ted_ More land, a wider field on which nature
may operate for the farmer's aid„ is desirable.
But in neither case should the idea of spoiling
the land by cultivation, or even of deteriora
ting it in the least, be tolerated. In the vicin
ity of large cities, where land is dear, where
produce finds a ready sale, and where trans
portation from distances not over one hundred
miles is constant and cheap, less land, higher
fertilization, less dependence upon natural
causes of fertility; and a resort to the costlier
artificial means of enriching the soil will pre
vail.
Here the cultivator will be tempted to sell
anything from his land, because, if he has the
good sense to grow such-produce as - the city
must have, and yet of a nature not to admit of
transportation over long distances, he is sure
to get a good price for it. The cultivator of
of land in the vicinity of New York, worth all
the way from $lOO to $l,OOO an acre, cannot
afford to wait for the slow, prudent fertiliza
tions of nature. He cannot think of moderate
crops few and far between. He must have
large crops and often, two or three:in a year, or
disinterest on his land will eat him up ; and in
order to sell nearly everything from his soil
and yet have these great and frequent crops, he
must purchase manure unsparingly. And now
for the application.
she eily that consumes the produce of 100
tellett around must return the fertilizing matter
resulting therefrom to the soils that produce it.
Japan and China understood this centuries ago.
Europe itibeginning to understand it. America
has hardly yet begun. Let this be understood
and proetieed upon, and the country a hundred
miles around New York, seventy- five miles
- Mound Philadelphia, fifty around Boston, and
proportionably around all cities and villages,
will become like the farm whose produce is ex
pended upon it, and, the resulting manure, re
turned to the soil, will grow richer and more
productive every year. How to manage, msni
palate. compound, and deodorize the wastes of
the city, is an immense problem, which must
and Witt be solved, greatly to the advantage of
both city and country. It will enable the coun
try to purchase cheaper and better fertilizers
than can be brought around Cape Horn, and
it will enable the city to keep clean with less
than half the cost at it now keeps filthy—to
breathe purer air at a cheaper rate.—N.

FOR BOOTS, SHOES, HARNESS, CARRIAGES,

Thu now and excellent article excels everything ever
before in use, for beautifying and !softening the Leather,
It makes a polish like patent leather ; will not rub off
with water, nor stain. the finest white silk, and makes
the leather , perfectly water-proof. Twice a month ap
plied on boots and shoes, and once a month for harness
is stifficient. If the leather becomes dirty, wash it off
with clean water and the polish will re-appear. War
ranted as represented.
DIRECTIONS POR ESE.—Apply a few drops on
sponge, rub it slowly over the leather, and the polish is
complete. Price, 37X cents per botlle.

L LYON'S PURE OHIO CATAWBA.
BRANDY.
THE OHIO CATAWBA BRANDY has, for several
year; been manufactured from the pure juice of the
AMERICAN CATAWBA and ISABELLA GRAPE, and
has attained a rare popularity throughout the West and
South, where great quantities of this superb article is
sold for 'MEDICINAL and FAMILY purposes. It not
only equals, but excels the most choice IMPORTED
BRANDIES in PURITY, QUALITY and RICHNESS OF
FLAVOR, and wherever it has been introduced it had
invariably met the most ungtalified, favor and extended
sale.
The want of really pure Brandy has long been felt in
thls conmtry, and the opportunity to preens. an article
of such quality as to supercede the sale and nee of the
many oils compounds so often sold under the name of
. 4 ‘ Brandy,” can be regarded only as a public good.
L. LYON'S CATAWBA. BRANDY possesses all the
choice qualities of the best imported liquor, and is posi
tively known to be of PRIIRLOT PURITY ancl.of SU
PERIOR FLAVOR.
In support of the above statement, we refer to the
certificate of the undermentioned well-known chemists :
Dr. A. A. Reyes Assayer, Boston, Maas.
Dr. James R. Chilton & Co.. Chemists, New York.
Dr- James R. Nichols, Analytical Chemist, Boston,

Dr. Cox, Chemist, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Dr. Charles Upham Sheppard, Charleston , S. C.

Dr. N. A. Pratt, Savannah, Georgia.
All of whom have analyzed the Brandy and recommend
it as a perfectly pure article and u an invaluable medi
