AGRICULTURAL.
Old Lands better than when
Fresh.

"Many Of the oldest counties of Georgia,
are now making moreby agriculture, than
when the lands were fresh and unworn.-
Southern Recorder.
"The first wheat raised in Western New
York, was sown in November, 1888, on
the outlet of the Crooked Lake, in Yates
Co. 1t produced Is bushels per acre
The same land has since frequently yield
ed harvcsts Of 80 and 40 bushels per acre
Rural Neso Yorker.
These facts coming to us fromthe South,
and from the North, are truly gratifying.
They establish the instructive fact, that
cultivation, properly conducted, tends to
theimprovemento of land and to the increase
Gifts productive capacity; and hepce, should
serve to arm every agriculturst with the
determination, to keep up the supply ofin-
organic and organic manures in his soil
The quantity Of either carried off the soil,
in any one year, in the crops, is really not
very great, and may be restored by any
industrious agriculturist-may be more
than restored, and thereby enable him to
place his land.in an improving condition.
All that is necessary to bring about this de-
siratle result, is, to husband and apply
every resource in the shape of manure on
the farm. lfthis were done, instead of de-
teriorating, our lands would be enhancing
in their productive powers. But suppose
we had to make expenditures for Guano,
bone dust, ashes, lime, or mari; such ex-
penditurcs would not only bring back the
outlay, but return 1t with compound inter
est, and lay the foundation of such sys-
TEN of culture, as would do away with the
necessity for similar expenditurcstor time;
provided the home supply of manures, and
the materials for forming them, were pro-
perly husbanded and appropriated. Let
us exemplify the ease withwhich the crops
may be fed. A singlebushel Of unleached
hardwood ashes, if kept dry, will yield 81
lbs. of Potash, so that bushels would
more than supply a crop of 20 bushels OF
wheat with that substance, to say nothing
of the quantity of lime, phosphoric acid
carbonc acid, Sulphuric acid, magnesia
soda, chlorine. oxide of iron, and manga.
nese, they would also furnish If then
where soils may be deficient in the inor
ganic food Of plants, an annual application
of bushels Of ashes per acre, We're made
there can be no doubt, that even this small
dose would keep such soils in healthiu
state Of progressive improvement, provided
proper attention were also paid to period
cal treatment of the land to dressings of pu
crescent manures.
The agriculturist should bear in mind
that each bushel of ashes contains NOR,
than one-third of its volume of lime, beside
avery notable per centum of phosphorus
acid, and many other substances, which
enter into the composition of cultivate,
plants, and hence the necessity of CAREFUL,
preserving and applying every bushel tina
may be made on his farm or plantation t,
his crops.-Amer. Farmer.
