A competent knowledge OF these branches should
be considered as almost Indispensable IN those per
soEa who would undertake the cultivation oi d

that the s,vie ul farming in the United states Is 50
wholly different from tia, in Csrca, Britain. 'hat

other men that our farms ere comparatively small ;
and that class OF tenant almersls scarcely known
among U.s. il appears 10 me, however that II Is
quite as important that man sh0ud he able is!ili-
self to manage his own IaI.n well, as that ahoil-r
man should he qualified 10 manage II Tor hiil aud
that farms of a moderate size, where The farmers
depend upon their returns for ii!eu support, have
need Of tie greater appliances 10 render them pro-

| Agriculture Of q highly experimental and improved
character, than farms OF very large SIZE, where
| the attention must be greatly divided, and the
managcmcnt-the mere daily routine OF opera
| lons-requires the most inccssant and absorbing
care.
But there arc considerations, OF a more genera!
| character, which deserve attention. No one Will
! pretend that Agriculture, even III The more IN
proved lorm in which il is any where 10 b- found,
has as yet opproXlmated the perfection OF The art
The perfection OF the art OF Agriculture Is tina, IN
which the largest amount of prodscl is obtained al
! the least expense of labor and manure, ana with
the least exhaustion the land. Indeed, there Is
reason 10 hope that we may presently reach sys-
ten o cultivation In which, though tie crops may
be large the and ltsoli shall not only not he cS-
lausted, but be in course OF continual aneliord-
ton. know we'll there mast be a limit bui thai
limit no one can yet define. We know already
that crops with large leaves, and therefore large
powers ot absorption, are commonly improving
cr0Cs and VT know equally well that Tie growth

TACT, an improver OF tie soil. There Is every rea-
son TO hope therefore, that such syseni OF hus

| extraneous aid, and from the resources oi the
farm ITSELF the largest crops may be obtained, and
the powers Of production extended The system

That our crops for example, are not what they
might be, is universally admitted Within; ;:e las,

mensely. few years since fifty bushels OF !ndian
