THE FARMER for February is on our table
and should be on the table of every farmer in
Virginia. II treats OF the very subject in
which Virginia is now most deeply interested: ::
scientific, economical farming. 1t contains
form of contract with farm laboTers,
adapted 10 the condition of affairs in the South
now, with valuable suggestions relative 10 the
direction of that labor. There is an account
OF Planet" with pedigree, and some remarks
on breeding stock; and n second very able ar
ticlc on the "relations of chemistry to agri-
culture "Husbandry," "gardening,' and
all the branches of the farmers calling, are
treated here with a clear simplicity of style
that shows not only the importance Of the
subject, but the ability Of the writer. In pro-
portion as the ErmT is read and studied
throughout the State, Will the agricultural
wealth Of the State be increased.

Rents IN RICHMoND.-Last week the opinion
was expressed In this paper that rents would
regulate themselves in Richmond, and that
the only fear we had in regard TO the matter
was, that they would soon be lower than we or
any one else desired to see them. Yesterday
one OF the finest business stands in the city
that on the corner of Cary and Fourteenth
streets, four stories above the ground, high
pitched, with railway, iron safe scales and
every arpurtcnanCe of first class house-was
offered for rent, by public auction, and taken
in At twelve hundred and fifty dollars-the
highest bid made. There were many Of our
business men present, but they seemed 10 be
afraid to risk n bid n all commensurate with
the value of the house. We have no reason 10
doubt that the owner will get much more than
the sum offered and we trust he will, for 50
much enterprise as is manifested in the con-
struction and arrangement of the house
deserves encouragement yet the facts stated
Justify us in coming to the conclusion that the
day for high rents has passed III Richmond.
Six months ago the house would have rented
for six thousand dollars.
