n ON FARMING.

The division of the farm into
fields of an extent appropriate to
the amount Of manure made in
any year, should be accomplished,
Especially should this be the
case, on all farms, where n mixed
husbandry is practiccd, The true
way to put a farm into good or
der, is, to take one or more fields
each ycarand finish up the work,
Fence it well, clear it Of stones
and stumps, undcr-drain if need
ed, manure it heavily, and plant
corn and potatoes. These, care
fully cultivated, will leave Gle
land in good condition for II grain
crop, and seeding to clover and
other grasses, and this course fol-
lowed from field to field, with
GOOD management Of every crop,
will put new face ON any Of our
common run" Of farms.
Upon the amount Of manure
should depend Che size Of our
fields; at any rate, it should BE
our aim to give each field the
quantity which will enable it to
grow II large crop. 1t is poor
policy to attempt the cultivation
Of more land than we can fully
fortili2c and thoroughly cultivate.
We mention corn as Il first crop
because it is one we'll suited to
the placc-onc not injured by
any amount Of manure, fresh or
farmcntcd, which can be applied
ono which can receive that cuI-
turc necessary to clc;r the land
Of weeds, and one having no de-
IctcriouS influence ON any after
crop.

TIE RAINS.

We have had u succession of
heavy rains for u week. They
were decidedly the first rains Of
the season, soaking the ground
most thoroughly. They have
been great, extending all over
East Tennessee, and doing n vast
amount Of good. These rains
will make thousands Of bushels
Of corn in East Tennessee. The
rain was badly needed through
out all this end ofom State. The
drought was doing damage, but
this God-send was just in time
