FRIED Goopwfx:---I have long
been VI the opinion that each county
newspaper should contain not less than
two columns weekly for the special
benefit Of the farmer. Doubtless n
majority Of the readers Of the Amer.
can are engaged directly or indirectly
In tilling the soil; and to such, your
announcement 10 devote a portion Of
your paper. weekly. under the head
Of "The Valley Farmer" must meet
with general appreciation.
Il israrely indeed that farmers meet
and compare notes. without some one
feeling more or less benefited by the
conference. Such being the fact. ar
cues strongly in favor Of an occasional
correspondence with each other upon
the various subjects connected with
their calling.
To plow. sow. or plant. and gather
the product, is plain matter indeed,
but how TO do ID in the best manner,
and at the most appropriate time, re-
quires both skill and experience.
Many portions Of our county have
heretofore rewarded the husbandman
bountifully for the labor bestowed. but
such however. cannot always continue
10 be the case, unless q more judi
cious system Of farming is practiced
for time TO come. than bas been in by
gone days.
That farmer who has not observed
the great contrast in the manner In
which his neighbors conduct their farm
operations. must have been an idle
spectator indeed; but even should
that have escaped his notice. the fact
of one gradually increasing in wealth.
while another perhaps barely meets
bis annual demands. is Of sufficient
importance to create the inquiry. why
Is Il so?
] presume none are better calculat-
ed 10 solve that question than the more
prosperous of the two. and upon in
quiry itlwill generally be found that
the great secret lies in conducting oil
farm operations by some regular sys'
tenn. previously. matured. and skilfully
carried out.
Il Ia an evident fact that the ele'
ments Of fertility are fast disappearing
from great majority of the farms o
our country. and hence the great ne
eessity of farmers counciling with
each other upon the various subject'
connected with their calling. and there
by improve upon the present mode o
extracting from the earth those ele
ments calculated to feed our crops
without giving in return something a
an equivalent, either in the form o
manure, rest to our land. or such 9th
err modes Of procedure as may be cal
culated to secure the desired end
The time allotted for writing this com
munication has expired, and conse
quently I must stop just here.

MANUaE.-Manure is the capital on
which farmers do business; and the
