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

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

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.

was all done in the right way and just at

I am frequently asked, "how do you
bring up those old wcim-out lands so quick
ly ?" The answer is found in the above
example. ,
-I have tried guano, and almost every
kind .of manure, in almost every way, and
hive 'always found them to pay well when
qui enough on—stable manure, leached
ashes, and guano--pretty much in value
414 n )
as I have named them.
Will the improvement 'these w moot
lands,pay I is a questi a I am frequently
asked. .1 have every reason to believe
they will. 1 commenced the improvement
of the place I now 'vs on in the year 1838.
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. The homed cattle supply

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

complete. Y ours truly,
