FOR THE ADVERTISER.

MEssRs. ED1roRs Il have noticed seve-
raj questions in your paper, upon which you
desire 10 know the views Of the farmer; and
as your columns are free TO all, thought
that would give my views in part.
First then, as to the fifth question which
is this, Whether it is better to burn off new
ground late, and plant Immediately, without
further preparation, or whether it may not be
better to burn off early and break up we'll"
| have had some experience in this matter.
have tried both ways, and give decided
preference to burning off about the last Of
March or the first Of April. Immediately
after, run furrow with small scooter
plough, and then drop the corn and cover it
with the plough if the corn is put in drill,
and with hoe if in check. Break out
baulks with small bull tongue scooter plow
or Golfer. You need only plow the corn,
after it comes up, twice, and hoe it two or
three times. always rather hoe new ground
corn the first working that give it; for it
cleans away all the bushes and weeds that
always spring up on freshly opened land. |
then let the plow follow, and it can do its
work just right | know a good many of
my neighbors, who always break up their
land soon, from one to three times, and plant
early. But adhere to the above practice,
and always make better corn, than those
who cleaned off their ground early and
broke up their land so much. Several of
them have followed :s,y plan since moved
into this settlement, and they say that they
make much better corn than under the old
system.
To your seventh query, would answer
from my experience, that so ears of good
corn and bundles Of good fodder per day,
will keep good horse fat for the work of a
farm, if the horse has good warm stable,
and is rubbed and curried as all horses
should be, or 81 bushels of corn per annum.
TO the eighth, | would answer that do
not think much OF the strait shovel, from the
fact that a large one is very heavy to pull /;
besides, it opens the land and leaves so large
a furrow that it is liable to wash and make
gulcs. ! prefer for making corn, the small
scooter plow, aud small half shovel to any
other plow in use. | lay by with a good
sweep.
TO the thirteenth proposition, would an.
swer that the maximum task of a good
hand in cutting and splitting rails should be
two hundred, or with the timber cut, three
hundred and fifty. r. Fl.

band yawns and prepares fonanother smoke.
The boys give ominous hints as to the late
ness of the hour. The girls chat on glibly,
endeavoring to prolong the departure of the
s.nitten Adonis, until at last, after sudden
pause, the gallant youth bids the group good
night. In an hours time silence reigns over
the happy homestead.

"MAcNIFy YOUR OFFICE. Tho busi
ness of farmer is every where coming into
favor as the first and noblest employment of
man. In the Southern States new interest
has been awakened, aud the best talent of
the country is engaged to illustrate the sub
ject. Lately in North Carolina the Hon.
Abraham w. Venabc delivered an address
before the Cumberland County Agricultural
Society. On being called upon for copy
of his address, Mr.. Venable declines, sta.
ting that it was an unwriten production,
hastily prepared. In the conclusion Of his
letter he makes the following excellent sug
gestons:
"To every cutivator Of the earth would
say magnify your Office The apprecia.
ton of this noble employment can never be
high whilst those who are occupied in it
consent to hold it as an obscure and humble
calling. The farmer princes of the State
ought to rule its deslines and control its
counsels; and farming education is the first
step to that result Speed the plough should
be our banner cry, and the fields Of our be-
loved State will respond by beauty and pro-
duction."
