THE FREE TRADER.
Ottawa, ILL.,, Friday, October s, lNlI.
Western ArniOi'y.

The location OF the Western ArmoY Is draw
inc the attention of the inhabitants Of the Illinois
valley 10 the subject. In another column will be
found the proceedings OF large meeting held in
this place on Wednesday evening last, by which
1t will be seen that measures have been taken to
draw the attention OF the President to the nu-
norous advantages presented IN this section Tor
the location Of the Amory.
That the Illinois valley presents uncqualIcd na-
tural advantages for the location of the Armory,
viii be readily admitted by those who are ac-
ouaintcd with its resources. As respects hydrau-
lie power, we venture to assert that, within a err
conference of ten miles at the head OF navigation
on the Illinois river, advantages can be found
equal to any in the L. States At this place alone
more than a suilicicncy for propcIng all the ma
chinery in use by the Government in the manu-
C,cture of public arms, can be commanded at
any time, without one dollars expense in the
erection Of dam, or Improvements necessary to
make water-powcr available at most other places.
The same may be said of Dayton and Marscillcs
in the vicinity Of this place.
As respect minerals, we have but to say that
stone coal, of a superior quality, can be found in
this immediate vicinity in almost inexhaustIbIc
quantities. The same may be said of the entire
Illinois valley. Iron orc may also he found for
any extensive manufacturing purposes. Recent
geological examinations by the first scientific
men of the age have established this, which
heretofore has been considered doubtful.
All the above named advantages taken into
consideration, VIC are clearly of the opinion that
none superior can be found in the Western coun-
try for the location of National Armory. The
country is thckly settled and Immediately on
the line of the Illinois and Michigan canal, which
connects the waters of the Mississippi with those
of the northern lakes, thus commanding a ready
communication with the South, East or West
and the completion of the Illinois and Rock River
railroad (Which is now under contract and rapidly
progressing) will open direct communication
with the Northwest, thus placing the extreme
frontier of the Union within few days journey,
and placing the extensive lead region at the ready
command of this section.
The committee appointed by the meeting last
Wednesday evening, will probably rcport'in time
for our next paper, when we hope To be able to
give a more extended and minute description of
this favored section olhc "Grcat Mississippi Val.

He knew not how, but he stood by her grave

heard voice say "there, that is right, draw up

SUCCESSFUL FAR MING.

The Farmers Cabinet relates an instance Of
of the most successful farming we have heard
for long time. 1t is oran old, practical, hard
working farmer in the neighborhood of Am
herst, New Hampshire, who commenced in the
world as day laborer, and who, notwithstan>
ding he has at various times sustained heavy pe
cuniary losses in the investment of his FUNDS,
is now worth at least one hundred thousand dol
lals. We make the following extract from the
article in the Cabinet:
"This man, when thirty years Of age, by the
avas of his industry added toa small legacy
was enabled 70 purchase and pay in part Tor a
farm of one hundred and thirty acres oi iahd,
one hundred of which was under cultivation,
but in very low state. The farm is altoSeth-
er upland, with soil composed of loan, clay
and sand, in the chiefof which the latter prepon
derales, the former being least considerable.
" hen he commenced farming, he adopted
particular system of rotation, to which he has
implicitly adhered from that time te the present,
which Is forty years, and his SUCCESS is the best
cJrnment on the woIh Of experiment His
mode was as follows; having divided his farm
into eight fields of equal size as near as possi-
bic, three of those fields were sowed with wheat
each year, one with rye, one planted with corn
two in clover, and one an open tallow, OIL
which corn had been raised the year previous.
One of the two clover fields is kept for moving
the other for pasture, both OF which are plow
ed as soon after the harvest as possible, and pre-
pared ior wheat in the fall. All the manure
which is made OH the farm ioEeone yeuT is haul
ed in the spring Oh the field intended Iur opel
talIuw, which Is then ploweL, and after one o.
two cross pluwnss through the SUMMER, is al
50 sVwed with wheat IN the fall. The field ul
| which the r q is sown is that from which
crop Of wheat hag been takeE the same year, 4
which had yielded three crops. Corn is PLAN
ted on the field from which rye had been lakeI
the year previous, the slubbIes of winch hac
been plowed down in the fall. Clover seed il
sown early in the spring IN two of the whea
fields, those which have been most recently ma
nured. BY this method, each field yields tire,
crops Of wheat, two Of clover, one Of rye ant
one ofcorn every eight years. Each fold il
the mean timo, has lain an open falOw, and lie
ceived heavy dressing Of manure, perhaps q
an average Of fifteen four horse loads per acre
Ills crop of wheat is seldom less than fifteen hui
dred bushels, but often much more. His GRO
of wheat is seldom less than fifteen hundre
bushels, but elten much more. His averag
rye crop is about four hundred and fifty busheI
and his corn crop annually about five hundre
bushels-all which grain, at the present 10y
prices, would amount 10 more than two thou
sand dolIars annually, and at former prices I
double that amount, and his farm is wrhal yer
highly improved
