LARGE FARMS rs. oNEs-Dr Gix
deon b. Smith, Of Baltimore, has addressed n
communication TO the Agricultural Society Of
New York, in which he dwells Mt some
length upon the popular fallacy If spreading
the fortg Of q plaftation bv6r a large number
Of acres instead Of concentrating it in the
close and scientific culture Of n small body
Of land. We extract q sketch Of his remarks
on this branch Of his subject from the Baltl-
more American:

All evil in this Statet ID beginning to bs

Of the true nature Of agriculture. II still ex4
lists, however, to such IN extent AS 10 consti.
tute one Of the most prominent features Of
our rural economy. As a system Of husband
ry this broad-acre culture as DIR. Smith
calls If, is clearly incompatible with The steady
improvement Of the soil. He says: sOur
farms are all too large for the force that
works them, and our crops are therefore
small, and our soils de~teriofating. But tic
lights that fa7e gugge5fed other improve
rnents, are %begihhIng to illuminate this por-
ton also, and mucf Improvement is expected
from it. Tho present passion for btoad acres
in cultivation, will speedily be absorbed by
that for heavy and certain Grips then our
will be reduced and our products
increased. Farmers who took prfdein boast

cenlurg-even that has not betn able TO save

AMERICAN MANUFACTURED GOODS II Enc
LANp-The Manchester Guardian, abiding
to the American manufactured gods recently
sent to England, has the following paragraph,
to which we beg to call the attention of such
of our readers, particularly Planters as are
opposed to the encouragement of domestic
manufactures. 1t will be seen that the sue
cess which has attented our experiments in
manufat turing, is already pushing the manu-
features of England to demand from the Co.
yernment important confessions in their favor;
no less, indeed, than the entire repeal Of the
duty on cotton, as "~absolutely necessary to
theH existence. The repeal OF this duty will
be Of scarcely less Importance to the planting
interest, on this side the water, than TO the
manufacturers on the other, for whose benefit
it is required. 1t will be felt in some degree,
in an advanced price for Cotton, and still more
in an increased consumption and de-
mand. The destruction Of British manufac-
lures is no anticipated by the GuaTdl1n;; only
a competition which will compel England 10
give increased facilities 10 The admission OF
the raw material, and to push her goods and
