It is very doubtful whether his $lOOO will go
thus far, and do all this. Bat suppose it does—
has it furnished him with the aeons of properly
cultivating two hundred acres of land?
It certainly ; hag not. One-third of the farm,
assuming it boa wain farm, should be in wheat
every year, and adlling corn, oats and potatoes,
One half of it. should bo ploughed. Ono, team
will not do this. It will require two, at least;
and if the quantity of corn and potatoes 46
what: it should, three teams
, will not be'too
many. This involves two more hands, and a
proportionate increase of outlay. In short, by

nil the riches which sustain science and art, re
finement and letters, freedom and prosperity,
it is nevertheless calitng of plain practical do-
Lill in which grand effects are depodent on an
lull:Jae series of minute causes.
All economies consist of making and gaping—
those are the esentiar elements of accumulation
and the sole sources of wealth—either being
absent, want and destruction inevitably follow.
Modern farming looks perhaps too exclusively
to the former—seeks too sedulously the single
object of increasing the aggregate products of
the soil. Our fathers cf the plough, gave to the
latter an undue weight, and limited their crops
by au excessive caution which restrained expor
tation within limits too confined.
Exaggerated types of these respective classes
are to be found on the one hand in the fancy
farmer, who with foolish boldness of extrava
gance by extensive chemical manure and costly
mechanical contrivances, deepens and strength
ens his land, fills his stables and pens with im
proved stook, beautiful but delicate, regardless
of climate and the many causes by which artifi
cial races of animals are affected, grasps with
instant eagerness at every new theory or prat..
tics which is recommended by men as inexperi
enced as himself, and ends either in absolute
rain or in a moderate modification of this ex
treme rashness, uudor which wise, by costly ex
perience he may profit himself and confer on his
neighbors the double benefit of being to them at
once a warning and a model.
On the other ho.nd, wo sometimes see e. man
who obstinately adheres to an antiquated course
of scourging crops, rude implements, skinning
cultivation, dilapidated buildings, raw-boned
stock, and grudging a dollar of outlay, however
judioions, becomes every year poorer by this false
economy.
Both these men are wrong. But the fcrmor,
though injuring himself, may be useful to others
—the latter is an unmixed evil. The human
family must be fed and clothed by the produce
of the soil. Owners of land are, therefore, trus
tees for the public—they hold in their hands the
lives of the people—they are bound faithfully to
administer their trust, not only to cause the
earth to yield its fruits, but to preserve it in con
dition for es winnows service.
Practically all this is done or neglected by int,
dividusls in separate farms. Each farmer is a
law to himself,but is held accountable by Nature
for any abuse tif his power, for Nature uniform
ly ante by invariable laws, and punish' e every
violation of them. Let us see, then, how each
monarch should govern his little unpile—how
each farmer should manage his farm. In detail,
there is infirtita variety, for no two farms and
an two men are exactly alike. Certain leading,
ooueral :ales, however, apply to all.
Farming is a business It requires capital,
and its extent is limited by the amount of capi
tal. Land is in itself utterly valueless. This
very soil on which we stand, two hundred years
ago, was wholly without appreciable price. The
remote L110.138E13 Of South American land, extreme
ly fertile, are to day worth nothing. Land is
nothing, until touched by the hand of man -
guided by tze tnlndef man. There, manual la
bor is barely competent, under favorable cir
cumstances, to extort from the earth a precarl
cue sustenance for the laborer. We require
more than this—permanent habitations—com
fortable clothing—provision for old age--the
decent breeding of our children-- time for had.
lectual and moral purposes--in short, civilized
man demands a auperfluity, and this can be at
tained only by aiding human by brute labor, and
both by mechanical contrivances. For this—
the purchase of stock and implements—money
is necessary, and it is also neoessary for cup
part until the results of toil are realized TllllB
capital its as essential in the business of agrioul
tare as in any
One of the first, great and invariable rules,
therefore, fur all farmers, is not to extend their
operations beyond their capital. Lie who doe•,
mast either go in debt—and systematic debt is
certain ruin—or he must neglect the just de
mands of his farm for cultivation.
The tailor cute his coat according to his cloth,
the farmer must cuftivate according to his means,
not according to his !and, but to his power
of fairly developing the riches of that land.
On this rook we are apt to wreck. We lay
our hands on as many acres as possible, and fan
cy that increase of quantity, is increase of riches.
This is a great national blunder, dangerous to
the individual, and injurious to tie community.
When we fail to secure that point of produc l
tive power which touches the limits of remu
neration. We are abusing the gifts of God.—
We are excluding others from their rigb ts, for our
highest title to land, extends not beyond our
power to use it, if by a vain attempt we prevent
its use by others.
Hero is a man who has two hundred acres of
land, and a capital of ono thousand dollars.—
We will suppose it to be good limestone clay.—
A. fair investment of his money capital may be
thus made :
1 Pair of Horses
1 Plough and Harrow, 12 and t 3....
1 Wagon ......
1 Harness
4 Cows
Pigs and Chickens
Feed for one year
Bead-20 Acres Whest,4o at 1
" 20 " Oats, 60 at 30
" Potatoes, 20 at 50 ......... ....
Wages of one hand 125
Balance for Taxes, Support of Family, etc 194
doubling expense - it doubles the amount of
capital required. 'crab, I say nothing of the
absolute necessity of keeping: a larger stock of
horned cattle, but if the land is to bo kept in
heart many cattle must be fed, so as to use on
the premises all the straw and hay, and, I may
add, most of the corn and all the oat , !, for the
i t n• , l tinprofitubie C: and no: LusSel
thoull be raised for tale.
As a faith such as we flr'2. cous,lering requires
at lemt $2OOO capital, it is plain that a man
with $lOOO has but half a chants, and if 11.3
have but a few hundred dollars his life is a per
petual struggle, his land is imperfectly tilled,his
stock few in number and mean of condition, and
the 0111,11 is depressed by the consciousness,
that he is not fulfilling his duty.
Now this is exactly the situation of the
larger number of us. We aro too poor, as we
say. The truth is, we are too rich in land" We
undertake to carry a load beyond our strength,
and thus many of us lead lives of hopele. , s toil.
Our-children may be rich from our labors, or
from the increased value of land, but surely the
present should not be martyred for the future.
Moderate labor, reasonable rest, healthy com
fort, freedom from oppression, time for, whole
some thought, innocent recreation—all these
every industrious and honest man has a right to
expect. How few of us realize this rational
existenoo. How generally this failure to secure
the sweets of life, results from our having more
land than we can rightly use.
Our soil is almost virgin. The stumps of the
clearings are still visible everywhere. It is not
as in Europe, when generations of nations have
drawn from the earth its hidden treasures—and
yet behold already the comparative sterility of
our land, which might by proper cultivation be
come the garden of the world. Instead of see
ing fields of wheat bearing thirty bushels• to
the acre, ten, twelve, or fifteen, the ordinary
yield ; when three tons of hay should be cut,
hardly one is the product; when thriving fruit
trees might be expected, bending beneath the
weight of their delicious fruit, our eyes are
pained by the sight cf gnarled, stunted, and
half dead trees, scarcely able to sustain the
vitality of a few curled up leaves that coma forth
as if reproach their owners by their consumptive
appearance. If they had tongues to speak, how
bitterly would they complain of their tres'lnerit.
It is a.,t,becauee nature is so illidfTly,thlt she will
not reward man for his labor, but because man
will not let her yield her bounty to Lis Libor.
TLo fault is with ourselves—all this sterility,
all complaints of hard living and inari,ninate
rewards which we continually make, although we
have large tracts of land at our command is pre',
cisely because wo have those large tracts of land.
We attempt to reap where we have not sown.
We struggle against a great and universal law.
We attempt in short, to cultivate too much land.
Our farmers (says a sensible writer in the Ag.
rioulturist,) have from 50 to 500 acres under
what they call oultivation. Still they see in
debt, and in many cas'•e the moil they poi..sess
the worse they are off Their laud is scat; end
far and near. Ten acres here and twenty there,
instead of being compact and together. In this
way more time is often lost in going front ono lot
to another, in building the fences of other people,
and keeping out their cattle, than the whole in
come of the land amounts to. So too this irregu
larity involveS unnecessary and increased cost for
fencing—fields arc of various !gr.%) and irregular
shape. There is perhaps not n farm in this
county where the most oppressive of all taxes that
of fencing, might not be greatly diminished by
having the fields of the same size and of square
or at least rectangular shape. We have too ma
ny fences and they are made too expensively—
no farm should have for a fair course of crops
more than six fences, and all beyond is a waste
of wood, of time, of temper, of land, encourage
ment.of the growth . of weeds, and to breachiness
of stook. For all the consequences of this exces
sive and unmanageable quantity of land, what is
the remedy?
Sell half of it and spend the proceeds on the
remainder, and thns make what you have yield
a liberal income. Get rid of your anxiety, your
toil, of your over recurring disappointment.
This may appear to those who have alwayil
followed in the footsteps of their forefathers of
adding field to field as the height of folly, but I
am confident it is the only salvation for many of
our people.
Depend upon it, there is no course so suicidal
as that of attemptingSto cultivate two hundred
acres, when your means are hardly adequate to
do justice to half the quantity.
Take the man who has fifty acres of naturally
good land, and he has but a certain amount of
capital, time, manure, &c., to use in its cultiva
tion, which is not enough to keep it in condition
or pay that attention to rotation of crops which
it requires, is it net evident that the land and
the owner must suffer ? Would not all sensible
persons condemn snob a course ? Yet how many
such instances are to be seen all around us !
I believe it would be for the interest of such
porsons--certainly for the community- 7 even to
give away a portion of their land, rather than
have so much in their care. Self-interest teaches
it is sound policy for such a man to sell what he
cannot properly use, for be would gain time to
devote to the remainder, money to purchase all
that it requires, his orcps would yield in double
ratio, his land increase in value as it increases
in fertility, and thus he will be in every way
benefltt.ed.
We have all seen acres of the best land over
run with daisies, burdocks, thistles, mullens, and
other noxious plants, that root out the grass
and oat up the very life of the soil, without af
fording nourishment to man or beast, which
might, by a little attention, yield a rich harvest.
But those farmers who have too much land and
and too little money, have no time or means to
attend to these details, and the land hooomes
worse than useless, for it is evident that land
must either increase in fertility or decrease in
value. There is no middle way—it must afford
a profit or be an expense.
Look again at the swamp and meadow lands,
found almost every where to greater or less ex
tent, now comparatively worthless and causing
sickness and death in their vicinity. Look at
our epouty soils; where winter after winter, the
wheat is frozen out and our oxpeotations of ro-
ward at hary 3t are blighted.
These soila,are really the best we have. But
they require draiaing, that tha superfluous mois
ture may be safely and quietly carried off. To
do this—to reclaim these lands and make them
most productive,
„requires generally but a email
outlay of money and time. Commatly the owners
have neither to spare for these important porpog
see, because they have already too much land de
manding such imperfect attention as they are
alone able to give it.
Many a young man goes to California in search
of gold, when on his father's farm, there aro
mines of wealth like those, easily, worked and
certain to return abundant gaies.
Our farms, generally too large for our capital
should /bear a just proportion to our power to
develope their resources. At present we skin
the surface, and incur fur half crops much of
the toil which ought to produce such returns as
we find in England where fifty bushels of wheat
to the acre, is not unusual.
It is true that the sub-division of land may
be carried too far, for there is a limit to the
productive power. In Ireland, before the famine
of 1847, moat of the holders of land cultivated
less than an acre. It just managed to sustain
life, but gave neither comfort nor surplus. The
failure of the potato crop, plunged almost the
whole population into instant destitution. Hun
dreds of thousands died ; hundreds of thousands
emigrated ; these small holdings were almost
abolished, and increased size of farms followed.
In France, the absence of the ; law of prime
geintUre has caused an almost infinite subdivision
of land. The vast mass of the rural population
of France live on from two to ten acres of land.
100
This is too little. Etta the fact that families do
live on the products of these small patches, and
this is a country subjected to universal and severe
taxation, shoe s the wonderful pr ovisiodof nature
for the support of her children.
Having then resolveft that we will not under.
take to cultivate more land than we can do jus
tice to, the next question is, what is: the measure
of each man's capaciV. No certain can be
laid down of invariable application. The char
acter of land—the nature of the - products and
many other elements go to make the conclusion.
Each one must iitdge for, himself, taking care to
allow no part of is form to go below the high
est profitable standard,
As a general tide, however, it may be consid.
ered, that for every forty acres of arable land,
there should be a man and a pair of horses. Bed
sides this, if there be much stock, there should
be an extra hand to attend it.
Each man should on a large farm, have his
peculiar duty, but, all should be.ready to unite
for the common good The minute subdivision
of labor which marks the English system of hue,-
ban lary, and c , rtainly produces wonderful re
sults is in. p:acticable and inexpedient in this
country. Our people are men generally intelli
gent—men flexible—adaptable and available and
have the happy faculty of turning their hand to
almost anything—and after considerable cape
riecoe and observation, I venture to say, that
the whole world does not present a class amen
equal in all respects td the rural - population of
Pennsylvania. With all their faults, they have
fewer faults than any people, whom I have any
knowledge of.
Having your farm of a size adapted to your
means, the next point is, how is it to be cultiva
ted ? Various in many other respects,, this one
general rule may be safely followed—that the
soil should be cultivated to the greatest practica
ble, available depth. I Hay practicable, meaning
attainable by ordinary means, and when I speak
of available depth, I mean such a depth as will
stir up a soil capable of contributing to vegeta
ble life.
It would be bad economy, to resort to excessive.
power at monstrous expense . for the purpose of
penetrating the ground to a great depth, and it
would be absurd to stir up a subsoil composed
of gravels, stones or such other material as
hardly contributes to fertility. Bat with these
reasonable limitations, the deeper you plough
the better.
Com.ider for a moment, that the aggregate
productive power of land, depends upon the
quantity rendered available for vegetable life—
Whether this aggregate be of great snperfioies
and shallow depth, or of limited surfaeo and
greater depth. The absolute quantity of
available matter, the proportias being preserv
ed, will remain the, came. if one man cultivates
one hundred acres to the depth of four inches,
and his neighbor, with only fifty acres, ploughs
eight inches deep, each, in point of part, culti
vate:3 the same quantity of ground. The only
difference is, that ooe has it spread over a larger
surface than the other.
As much of the cost of cultivation depends al
most ox-elusively depends on the extent of surface
it is clear that the more condensed the farmer's op
erations, the better. It is cheaper to raise thirty
bushels of wheat from ono acre than it is to raise
it on two Floret, and so with all other crops.—
The real extent of our farms may be enormously
enlarged downwards, without buying the land—
without increased taxation—without additional
cost for fencing, keeping all snug, compact and
under our eye. In a wet season, deep plough
ing and especially subsoiling operates as a series
of drains to carry off the superfinotte moisture ;
in a dry season, it affords a reservoir of water,
weieh dampene the earth and nourishes plants,
so that by deep ploughing wealmost defy the
contingencies of weather. One v iry dry summer,
when the corn crop generally failed, I had about
one hundred bushels of ears to the acre. The
field had been ploughed sixteen inches deep—
eight inches with Hall & Speen' largest iron,
plough, and eight inches below that with Rogers
sub-soil. You must not be afraid of the hard
pall, as it is called usually. This is a rich virgin
soil, which only needs to be penetrated by the
air to yield abundant return. Mixed with the
surface soil, both are improved. The chemical
elements of the one supply those which are ex
hausted in the other. The disintegration of the
latter loosens by admixture the texture of the
former, There is hardly a limit to the advanta
ges of deep and thorough stirring of the soil.—
There is, however, a limit to the extent to which
we should push these views. We ought not to go
beyond the line of profit. So long as Ike In
creased cost is more than repaid by the increased
crop, we are safe, but when this condition of
affairs calms, we muet stop. We must not run
a good thing into the ground too far. Each far
mer must determine the economic limit for him
self. There can be no invariable rule, but to
trea. the land fairly. I have found it profitable
to plough and subsoil sixteen inches deep. The
cost is about double that of ordinary ploughing,
and ordinary ploughing is not really over four or
five inches deep. It amounts, in fact, to ex
pending about ono and a half dollars extra on
each acre of land---a small matter, if half the
advantages are realized, which reason and expo •
rienco teach us to believe we have a right to ex
pect.
At al events it is worth trying, and my word
for it if you onoo try this plan, you will never
abandon IL
Let it not be supposed, because the remarks
which I have submitted, are so practical and
homely, that I am insensible to the true dig
nity, of a farmers lif..ad labor. My predeces
sors on• this stand, have eloquently vindicated
the sublime calling, on which rests the world's
existence. Without following them I agree with
ihem. Yes fellow farmers :

AMERICAN 'WATCHES.
Their Manufacture at Waltham, DiWIS.—
Comparison with the Pirreigui Product.
In this age of splendid mechanical triumphs,
in which our owe coniitry stands •so proudly
foremost, there is ono that is just beginning
to receive the attention and prominence it de
serves. The same perfection of machinery
that has made Colt's fircra•ms the acknowledg
ed best in the world, after patient experiment,
has been successfully applied to the manufac
ture of watches. • - - • -
The intrOdUction of American watches mirks
an era in the history of time and timekeepore,
and may well. be joined with the. Atlantic Tele
graph, the Sewing Machine, and ether kindred
successes of mind• over matter, which so won
derfully distinguish the present period.
Hitherto, England and Switzerland have been
the watchmakers of the world. Coventry and
Prescott in L uscaiittire and Warwickshire, in
England, and Lode and La Chanz de Ponds, in
the northern cantons of Switzerland, by Lake
Geneva, have been and are the world's famed
seats of watch manufacture; but now it seems
that Waltham, Mass:, has surpassed these old
world competitors, and with machinery, system
and intelligent skill, unaided by protection of
any kind, already produces the most thorough..
ly exact timekeepers, at about half the cost of
the best foreign watches.
All imported watches are made by hand, the
movements and parts of movements by different
persons, and at different times and places; and
each watch is finally finished with special refer
ence to itself—every part being made to snit
only one place, and the whole movement fitted
to a case which will snit no other movement—no
two watches being in all respects, approximately
alike.
A large majority of these watches are worth
less, 99 timekeepers, and a constant bill of ex,
pence to their owners, over $5,000,000 being
annually thrown away in vain attempts to im•
prove them.-
The American watches are constructed upon
the most scientific and approved principles, de
signed to secure uniformity, simplicity, durabili
ty, cheapness, and unvarying perfection of move
ment, and are sold with a certificate of warranty
in all cases, for ten years, signed by the manu
facturers.
The specific advantages of these watches to
dealers and wearers, as compared with the best
imported hand-made watches, will be most read,
sly apprehended by the following enumeration, to
wit : Each watch and every part of each watch,
of a given style, is the unvarying counterpart of
every watch of the same style, so that any single
part is exactly fitted, and may be transposed in
discriminately to make up any one of any num.+
ber of watches. The movements are made to fit
any one of any number of cases, thus enabling
the dealer to keep a large trod varied stook of
movements, with a limited number of cases, to
snit the demands of trade. , -
The ease and facility with Which any part can
be restored when broken or ilost by, accident—
each part being registered iat the factory—a
counterpart can be had- for the mere cost of
reproduction, and with whole movements chang
ed, and sent by : mail• or express to any part of
the world. Dealers are thus brought in con
tact with the mnrinfactiirer, and the single re
tail profit is:the 'only iidded`oost to the wearer,
to manufacturer's prices.
The watches have fewer parts, are more sub-
MMMOIS=SMIO.M=.

stantially made tbani any others, are easily
kept clean, and the = cistuices for failure by
breakage are diminished fmr-fiftbs compar
ed with the English Watch, which has upwnrda
of eiehl hundred e4parate parts, while the
American watch has but one hundred and
twenty-five parts, andmost of these are so sub
stantial, and all so perfect, that it would be
very difficult to break - them.
The American'tch is eminently adapted
17 '1'
for railroad engineers and conductors, where
exact time is of the utmost importance, and
where the constant jar of the moving train of
fers the most trying test to prove the quality
of a watch as a tithekeeper. Many eminent
engineers and condi:liners on the leading rail
roads of the country] have been supplied with
these watches, and now will have no other.
There is no article of common use that is so
little understood, and, about which so much de
ception, charlatanism,:andswindling may be and
is continually practiced, as attaches to the watch;
and it will be a gr,,t i;ornfort to honest dealers
and legitimate buyers [ and wearers, to know that
they have a substantial -. and "reliable pocket
time-keeper, at moderate price, made et home,
and about which tiMre can be no deception or
mistake, that may net he easily,-promptly, and
cheaply remedied, by writing to Waltham, or to
Robbins & Appleton, l Maiden leaue,New York,
General Agents.
In many parts of the country great difficulty
is experienced in finding good watch repairers
and reliable time-keepers. By the introduction
of American watches this difficulty will be almost
entirely obviated, BO ,that the country merchant
can obtain adjusted watches as a part of his mis
cellaneous stock, and the customer will buy his
regulated time-keep r, wind it up, and go about
his business, as he Would after purchasing any
other article without mystery or humbug.
The manufacturers, Messrs. Appleton, Tracy
& Co., with their preheat meaußoan furnitdr.2o,-
000 watches l.er annum, and they intendlo furs
nish from time to time, as the wants of the trade
may require, other styles and sizes of watches,
