AGRICULTURAL. Renovation of wormoat Land. rout sarron or THE AMERICAN FARMER. Laurel Fartorv, (Ma.) March 29, 1847. • 14,11430111; I have frequent letters from different parts of this State and Virginia, se.iiips,tay experience as to die effects of difflorent manures, particularly guano, and of 'my success in renovating these worn out the modus operands, &c. Now, my arming operations being quite a sec ondary consideration in my general busi miss, I Minot spare the time from my oth er ttecepations to answer in detail these various communications, and therefore have concluded to,gply to them generally through your valuable paper, and hope it Moly reach through this channel every one . °tiny correspondents. -For to this paper, and other agricultural publications, togeth er With a natural fondness for the pursuit, ant Indebted for whatever success I have met with. Yon know my whereabouts in this de seri of old fields, gullies, and poverty grass, and are well acquainted (as who, is not, who has ever travelled from the city of Baltimore to the seat of Government!) with the total barrenness of the land gen erally: I therefore need say but little on' the general character of the land to start with, and will begin by giving the reasons for my first attempting, what appeared at that time a Ilerculean task, the renovation of these barren old fields. Having been reared amid the green Beide and lowing herds in one of the most fertile regions in the State of New York, I could not look upon the barren face of this coun try without its producing a feeling of mel ancholy. I came to the conclusion it would never do for me to ,plant myself down here with the expectation of making ita permanent residence with such a pros- Peet ,always before mc. I therefore re solved either to change the general aspect of the country in this respect, or leave-it.- The &rater appearing the most feasible, I matte the effort, and I have the satisfaction to say that, as far as the vision extend. irom•lay resideaca, I have succeeded. This country, with all its faults, has re deeming qualities. Favored with Heav en's greatest blessings, universal health and a never-failing supply of the purest spring water, with a soil possessing .natii rallithe elements of fertility, a_lmatinitul rolling surface covered with clamps of tretariWitleb, for richness and variety of foliage, and beauty of proportions, for landscape or lawn purposes, cannot' be surpassed in the world, it is not indebted to Heaven for its liirbidden appearance, but to that reckless system of cultivation too Alittaii(i:ti round in incosi " Of the Boathein States. 'There arer two ways, Mr. Editor, of 14- learning these old fields ; one I see recoin mended frequently in your very valuable worle;,that is to sow broadcast over the laud some five bnshels of ashes with 'il 'bushel of plaster per acre, .to be followed by ploughtagin of green erops,ler,e. Now ihis may suit with some latitudes, but it will not tkliere, where a gruel northwest wind afte`eirtrest in November will sweep iris? ,thp fence corners every particle. ot .... vegetation front the face of these old fields. The labor alone which would be required. in the ploughing and reploughing &c. on this"method, would, if hired out by the i i 414 AO iv. 1 upou some public work, par chain, as enough to do in one year what would rat ire five years to aecoaplish in thie'sloill iiiethod. ;Another plan is to go at it Taylor fash 7 fash ion, and Afp tho thing right up. As an ex wnside of thisliater plan, I will give you site resultf en experiment made lust year upon one of these "old fields," and I taka this mere . y because it is now fresh before .nie, having just finished threshing out the crop grotin upon this field, and not be cause it showa.any more favorable results than 7 . i other experiments of which l' have me uremia. . ,1 pure! eel last last year an addition to my faros !of 365 acres of land; on this trees tker was one lot which lay iu upon thertands I had already improved in such manner as to injure the appearance of the whole, In the spring of 1840 I resolved to mike' inattack -upon this old field ; and to satisfy myself still further of the cost 4f.iiiieh improvement, I had it surveyed and platted by a regular surveyor, and found the contents to be 27 acres, out of which them was, taken, for a house, lot, ' and road, one acre, leaving twenty-six acres to,bertultivated. This field was tenanted out In the" year 1845 to a very worthy Idien; l who cultivated it in corn, and I have hiq ward that the product (and I am sure sopereett who saw the crop growing will overthiah of questioning the amount) was twent.pave bushels of nubbins, or less titTlillelmshels of corn per acre. This, by,the way, is about the character of many ot4t'! h iti this neighborhood. In March, 1840, as soon as the grounds woolitiSo to haul over, I brought out the rightlare of toy.resources, my flying ar. hihttr i ela.

Sowed 21 bushels oats per acre, harrowed again— sowed one peck of clean fresh clover-seed per acre, and followed with roller. This was all done in the right way and just at the right time. After the oats were wWII up, I put the finishing stroke to the whole battle by bringing up my corps de reserve, in the shape of guano.

' I am frequently asked, "how do you bring up those old wcim-out lands so quick ly ?"

At that time I ' d not pasture 'sufficient fur one poor -w, and have followed it up evezeiece, giving it just as lunch of my individual attention u could lie' spared without without injury to my other ttrore legitimate business, 'and in fact just 'as much as was necessary to relieve the mind from the.barasaments of s more perplex ing. occupation. The resale is, that, in• stead of not having one spear of green grass to refresh the eye or tickle the palate of the poor old • coir, or one single 'oasis in Ail Idesert4 did &Ida tal resort , to in dte hot summer months,'l have now hun dreds orittira Of An fitiproied gas' sex, and hive cut during the pain year her enough to keep. and keep 744 seventy head'of horned cattle. thirtp ! aire head of muhts and, horses, being 5t44 6 4-thlrteg the year. Night before the last, Wham my. house was shook to the serf foundation by the raging elements (without, I sat' by a cheerful fire .nod listened to the rider of the pitiless storm of snow and rain against the windows; it was a cheerlul refection that, out of all:Mx . stock, duns was not one. even to the suckling calf and pet lamb, but was shelteral fittlla its fury, in warm and comfortable stables, and were ruminating upon beds of clean straw. I sat dean" upon the spur of the mo ment to 'write you a short letter, partly to answer sundry communications on the subject of farming, which I really could not devote the time to reply to in detail, and partly from a sense of duty that every man owes to the community in which he lives to give the result of his experience, and let the community separate the wheat front the chaff by their own good judg ment. I am fearful the perusal of this will be found tedious. Should it be otherwise, having cleared away the brush and started the plough, I may at same leisure moment give you some further pickings from my memoranda of experiments, and perhaps a description of some of my stock of De von. and Durham's, of which I have a fair specimen of the purest blood in this coun try. Let all new beginners keep in view 'the following axioms in fanning: Drain your lands well ; plough deep and at the proper time I pulverize the soil well by ted ploughing, harrowing, and rolling; put on plenty of manure, no matter what it be— every thing in that shape you can scrape up, buy, borrow, or beg ; do not spare the seed, 'and be prodigal in grass seeds; be careful and ascertain, by observation, the proper time and proper manner of putting them on the ground, (for one is as imFort ant as the other,) and old Zags: himself is not more sure of success. The questioacinay be asked what I do with so many mules, herself, and horned cattle ! They all produie something- T mules are employed in hauling wood, the. to a population of about two thouistid saute here and hereabouts, and in hauling for the factories and shops, and work on the farm. The horses, watt the exception df a fair liir private nee, belong to persons connected with 'the works, and supplied flum my loft.

It was a ease of Hereditary Tetter, and so virulent was the disease, that we wished, in case it could not be speedily relieved, that it might be soon laid in its grave. At this stage of the disease my sister-in-law called upon you, to advise as to the best preparation of Sar saparilla that could be procured, as an al terative ; when you recommended the use of Dr. Collings Indian Vegetable Panacea, and I am pleased to say that the good ef fects of the medicine were perceptible when it had taken but a few doses; and by the time we bad used one single bottle, the disease had entirely disappeared, and from that time there has been no re-ap pearance.

Dear Sir,—At your request I cheerful- ly give you an account of the wonderful cure effected upon tme by Dr.. Cullen's In dian Vegetable Panacea. At the age of fourteen years I had upon my right knee a White Swelling, which stiffened the joint, and caused some seventy or more pieces of the hone to come away in the sores, and which was temporarily relieved by thl remedies, but not entirely cu red. At ti es sores would again break (Th l out, and bec the so distressing and painful that I could get uo rest night nor day. In this way it continued till last spring, when, having witnessed the extraordinaryeffects of your Panacea, as an alterative, upon a a daughter of mine who was using it for a elirouic4ilense, I concluded to make a tri al of it in My own case; the result has been an entire cure. lam now sixty-sev en years of age, and have suffered fifty three years with sores. I cheerfully add ~, v testimonial to the many others that I • v have heard, of the cures performed by your celebrated Panacea. Thomas Ifidlon, 4UO N. Third Street, Alderman Seventh Ward, N. L. `CROFULA To whom it may concern.—This may certify that my Odd, almost from birth * was afflicted with Scrofula, which covered most of its bodies with sores; and that for eighteen months, though commonly under medical treatment, nothing afforded relief till I was induced to make a trial of Dr. Cullen's Indian Vegetable Panacea. The attending physician, on witnessing itsgrood effects, recommended its continuance ac according to directions, and by using a single bottle of the Panacea, the child was apparently cured. It is now about four months since the medicine was discontin ued, and I hate no doubt but the cure is complete. Y ours truly, _ . w.k 111 & W A LTOrl De d. !hi"; BARBER'S an! Mr. J. T.
