MAINE FARM No one ut all interested in
farming can spend an hour upon well APP
pointed and well titled farm (eveu though 1t
be no better than others that may have ssen
visiied,) without receiving some benefit from
viewing the arrangement of the buildings, the |
plan OF the several enclosures, and converting |
with the owner about the general management
OF his farm. So In the hour or two spent up
on the farm and about the buildings of Msjor

thi, city, (Augusta,) on the old road to Win
throp, we cav much to approve 10 his system

itated by other farmers to good advantage
The farm consists of ons hundred acres, is well
divided into moving, lilaee, pasturage and

| county, is completely fenced In, and provided
with good buildings that are well arranged
and contain all the necessary fixtures for con-
veniepce aad the saving OF labor is provided
with an abundant supply of good water, and
has upon II a young orchard Of ole hundred
trees.

up in the fall what lard Is wanted for plant

plant it with corn, potatoes, beans, turnirs &c
aud the next spring SOW it 10 barley and oats
and seed IL down. No land is kept up longer
than two years, is literally mnpured, and muct
of his permanent grass land receives top
dressing of old well rotttd manure, (about ter
, cords to the acre) immediately after haying.-
The farm stock consists of six cows, Two hors

The chief part ct the hay 10 sold, and manur
