Too Much Land.

Why do so many Of our farmers complain
that they find farming poor aud unproiita-
bic business Because they tty to cult.
vate foo much lind. Farming when rightly
managed is as profitable business as person
can pursue; but while our chief aim is TO
be constantly adding acre to acre Of our
already uncultivaled fields, we shall hud the
business poor enough.
AS you pass through many Of our New
England counties, observe how some of the
farmers conduct, their affairs. They seem
to think their farms are hardly large enough
10 turn upon, unless they contain from one
hundred TO FIVE hundred acres, and this they
usually have scattered around in various
places, so that they actually lose as much
time in going from field TO field and from
LOT 10 lot, as would be required TO keep ten
acres under good cultivation.
However, let us watch them for few
months aud see how things 20 on
Ia the spring they plough up so much
land that they cannot prepare it for planting
ill their neighbors are nearly ready TO COM
mence hoeing.
They have manure foi but little Of their
land and therefore their crops are small
and late.
Their fences are not repaired in season.
aud consequently their fields are clothed
with blackberry bushes aud briers.
Their orchards are neglected till they
are completely buried with dead wood, and
suckers. or robbed Of their foliage by the
caterpillars.
Now is any one nj loss 10 discover why
such farming as this is unprofiablel MOI
in the least.
And yet this is precisely the way in
which many farms are conducted. But per-
haps you may inquire how the evil is to be
remedied! will tell you how. Sell your
land and If you canno, sell it, had almost
said, give it away, till you have reduced
your farm 10 such size that you can culti-
vate il properly. Plough up no more than
you have sufficient manure for, and can
prepare for planting in season. Repair
your fences IN season, TO prevent your
neighbors' cattle from encroaching upon
your fields and pastures. Remove all I'M
necessary trees and bushes from your fields
Set out young fruit trees, and keep them
free from insects and useless rubbish; and
you will find that farming 10 far from being
