To begin: will now give plan
which have thought of adopting, unless
some better shall be suggested. l am
an old man, totally unable to look after
my hands, as they are obliged to be
looked after to save from heavy loss. l
have some six hundred acres of cleared
land-one-half fat-every acre of which
can be thoroughly ploughed by three
horse plough. think of cutting off
some hundred acres for yards, lawns, or
chards, grass plats and truck-patches-
the remainder / propose to divide into
four fields. think of keeping six mules
to run two three-horse ploughs, and of
getting two frst-class ploughmen. My
plan is to select ten or twenty acres Of
the best land in the field for corn-pre-
pare it thoroughly, manure heavily; and
if worked in time, and as it should be,
it would bring fifteen barrels to the acre.
The remainder of the field to be plastered,
all stock to be kept off, and the next
fall, winter and spring the whole field to
be ploughed up and seeded in good time
and style with one hundred and fifty
bushels of oats, the thinner spots to be
treated with one hundred pounds of
bought manure per acre. Any poorer
spots might be prepared and MANFRED,
and seeded in rye and grass in August.
After harvest, all the oakland to be nicely
prepared and seeded in wheat and grass
with guano. With my two teams, |
could seed well and in time one hun
bred and fifty bushels of oats, one hun
bred and fifty bushels of wheat, and some
rye. l would cut my grain and grass by
horsepower q thresh by water power,)
and would have to hire in harvest, hay
making, and threshing, which could be
much more readily done than by the
year, as it would be a sort of frolic,
and the laborers will work better for
short time than by the year. 1 would
spread all the wheat, oat and ryestraw
not needed for bedding stables and cover
ing Irish potatoes, &C., upon the thinner
portions of the fields seeded last spring
in grass. In this way, the thin portions
of the farm could soon be brought up
along side of the best of the field. [
would use all of my mapures, not applied
to corn and potatoes, by top-dressing the
thin parts of my grass land. 1 have long
considered an oat-fallow the best cleaner
of lands and the best preparation for
good wheat crop, and top-dressing the
best way to use our homemade manures,
and 1 speak from long experience.
By this plan, could keep but little
stock at first during winter, as the straw
should be spread over the grass-lands and
upholstered, and small dose of lime,
say ten or fifteen bushels per acre, which
| think enough for single application;
in the last of May or first of June, if
the grass would justify it, would pur-
chase a few poor young horses, or cat
tie, or sheep, which would fatten by a
little sailing, and sell them off in the
fall, which, | thirk, would pay much
better than raising and winter-feed-
ing. Upon this plan, 1 think the grain
would pay better than the stock business
now, when Wandering Sambo claims so
large share of all eatable stock.
would raise only few good hogs for
nome use, and keep them up within pro-

as the ocean does, and l have seen many
face stamped so deeply with self-will
and covetuousness, that it must carry
the marks to the grave.
Take care, little folks! and whenever
you give way to bad temper, remember
the "tide marks. Lee.

Facts for Poor Farmers.

"Those farmers who have most difficulty to
make both ends meet, always pillow most and
keep most stock Now these men take the true
plan to keep themselves always poor, because
their crops and stock are always poor and bring
little" So writes John Johnson. at is good
profit to raise 800 bushels of wheat from ten
acres but when it takes thirty acres to raise that
amount, it is raised at a loss. So it is with cat
tie and sheep-you will see the thinking farmer
making four-year old steers worth from $50 to
$50 each, and his neighbours at the same age
not worth over S25 to $40" His advice to the
latter is, ''if his land is exhausted, he should
pillow no more than he can thoroughly manure.
Seed with clover and grass, and let it rest, and
that field will not only pay well for tillage, but
it will furnish manure (if rightly managed) to
make another field of the same size rich also. y
And then keep it rich do not run with grain
until again exhausted, or "the latter end of that
land will be worse than the first

Our Altered Circumstances Necessitate a
Change in our System of Farming.

A change in our mode of farming must
be made to suit our present sadly altered
condition, or ere long dear old Virginia
must and will be wild wreck in hope
less ruin, and her once gallant, warm
hearted people be completely pauperized.
Now, can't this change, to suit our pre-
sent condition, be brought about2 l
think it can be done, if the intelligent
farmers of Virginia will all set to work
with right. good will. No one plan will
suit every man, nor will it suit every part
of our State; but suppose every man
should determine to use his best .judg
ment, and reflect well upon some plan,
which he thinks best calculated to suit
his own condition and locality, and write
it out for the Planter and Farmer; the
editor could select out of these numerous
and varying plans, the very best Chose
rejected could be disposed of just as this
should be, if any better article shall be
offered, upon which the better informed
farmers could mend and amend, until
some good plan might and would be sug-
gested, by which we all could be bene-
