Turning Cattle into Fields.-The prac.
tice of turning cattle into fields, alier the
crop has been gathered, .is considered by
many planters as so injurious TO tho land,
lha, they will not even allow cross fences,
for fear OF being tempted TO do SO. Tba,
the ,ramping of stock on some lands is in.
furious, there eau be 90 doubt; but we
think il is far from being an universal rule.
Stiff lands are, Of course, rendered more
stiff and tenacious by the hoofs OF stock,
but what is injudicious 10 such lands is of
len decidedly beneficial TO loose. porsous
soils ; and we think this is one ofthnse ca
ses. One Of The very best planters we
know in The up country, never permits his
stock TO run in his fields. and we have no
doubt but that his practice is correct, for
he plants .fif land while on The other
hand, we know another who plants light.

gives his stock the run of his fields. 10 in
prore his land By tramping. as well as to
improve them. Our object in mentioning
these opposite practices, by excellent
planters. is to show The importance Of stu
dying the characier Of the soil we cult
vate. before adopting what may have pro-
we'd most successful practice on the part
OF others. Il is true. with regard 10 this
particular practice, there is another point
To be considered, whether tho cleaning of
OF all the vegetable mater from fields.
does not exhaust The soil more than is re-
paid BY the feeding Of the stock in this
way. Wo have heard many intelligent
planters contend that it does, aud il does
NOT become US 10 say tha, such is not the
case. But we think il would require very
few loads Of manure 10 make up all that
n hundred head Of cattle would glean out
of field. unless the vegetable matter was
turned under in green state, which no
plahier. with full cotton crop can find
time to do. And il the stock are penned
al night on dry straw and leaves, after
running in The fields during The day. the
planter will have far more than enough TO
re. pay what they have taken from his
fields, besides what he will gain by the
improved condition Of his stock.-COtum-
