HOW TO IMPROVE a POOR FARM.

Ricb,rd A. Leonard Of Middletown, NJ j, has
furnished us an interesting account OF his man
ner of improving n WORKOUT farm, ana OF the
sale of its products the last year.
Mr. Leonard came into possession of 30 acres
of cultivated but exhausted land, in May, 1888.
In that year the sale of its products amounted to
$3.50 IS in 1884, the sales amounted us O5 in
1885, to 81 1875 04 and in 1896, Notwithstanding
the uniavorablc season, c. i the failure OF most
If s,npIe crops, $l166 10; thus more than doub-
line its products, by Iudicious management three
years. His expense during the last year for la
Lor, manurc and freight, amounted to 1884 y,
thus leaving him net profit on his farm OF S9l2
A. or more than ten dollars per acre per annum.
We will quote MIR Leonard's statement of the
means he adopted to thus double the fertility of
his soil.
"My farm" says he, "was in so low a condition
that it would not prodlcc more than ten bushe S
of rye, or twenty OF corn per acre; and as had
no other income but WIlQl could make upon my
poor farm, l set about farming in earnest |
found it was vain to Improvement with
out manure so | couuived to get about four hun
drcd loads Il 1ycar, three hundred Of which
made in the following manner. j have mari,
though of IL very inferior qualify | cart about
one hundred !oads of this into my barn yard and
yard my cattle upon it through the season; |
also cart about fifty loads to my hog-pcn on
which kept my hogs the year round: In this
way get one hundred Onds more, which is cX-
cc}ieuI for potatoes corn, &c. and as my farm
is situated near the bay, obtain from NewYork
annually from so to IS loads of the best stable
dung at one dollar per load on delivery, aud by
mixing it with the EARTH &c. make up the four
hundred loads. hy this treatment find my
land improves rapidly, and my income in like
proportion. But AIN sorry to say there are ma
nv farmers among us who still pursue tl+e Old
luh.klng system, scarcely making both ends
meet. might say someHhing concerning the
beneficial results Of understanding, and Of lime
us a manure bui conclude for the present"
This communication allordsa worthy example
Of prudent industry and good management, and
sIo,> HAT even q poor farm, well managed, may
he rendered more productive Than many II good

II The party in power and the party out Of power
are equally wicked They stupid, insuferaby stu
pid points that require reflection and an extended
knowledge Of men and things. General Jackson and
his advisers acted in many instances wisely So did
Mr.. Bidde and his friends But in the greater num-
Der Of cases, their courses Of conduct have been
marked by knavish ignorance Of the duties expect

hand. The Globe of Saturday last says:-
"Neiher President Jackson, President Van Buren,.
Col Benton, nor any other holding position to give
