land has been lined, at the rate of % to gu
bushels to the acre. and the rotation chang
ed as rapidly as circumstances would per-
nit, from the old three shift system to the
five field fallow system of the Pamunkey.
The land has improved if possible, more
rapidly than the crops, and have no doubt,
viii, with judicious management and asmall
annual expenditure in manures, go on to
produce increased crops Of grain and grass,
until the ultimate point Of production of the
most fertile soils is reached.
In this improvement, every dollar ex-
pended has been refunded with profit, in
the crops Of each year, and the farm is GER
tainIy intrinsically worth now, more than
ten times its cost
These results are surely most encourag-
ing, and should urge the farmers, especial
ly the yonng farmers of Eastern Virginia, to
devote their energies to the Improvement,
of the soil, as the surest road to competence
if not to fortune. Unfortunately, we have
not among us capital and labor sufficient for
the full development of the resources OF the
country. Much of the land must, OF neces-
slty, remain unimproved, unless our young
men will all remain at home, or we can de-
rive population and capital from other quar-
tiers. cannot believe that country, pos

And though he fumes much at our thunder,
We surely meant not TO offend.

And if twill save you any labor,
The reason of it we will tell;
For all your arts the folks to wheedle,
And ease them of their extra fps,
Won't answer like the thread and needle,
To save coat or vest from rips.
Instead of basting try our plan,
Put in the stitches thick and strong,
Then you can look up like man,
And like your neighSors get along.
Just try for once the honest mode,
And make an effort not TO cheat.
With envy then you'll not corrode,
Nor glance so sadly up the street,
The people still will bear in mind,
The fact which all our patrons know,
That extra clothing they will find,
Whenever they deal with FRANZ & Co.
Truth needs no gaudy flowers of speech,
1t wins its way with hJnest men,
Who, when proper place they reach,
Are always sure to call again.
