nearly fifty thousand dollars-the prlce
ranging from ten to twelve doiiars

part on the river and partly on, or IN
proximity to, the Norfolk railroad. we
cannot but think that some discrlml-
nation has been shown bv purchasers
in selecting this locality. Surry has in

fruits it has every advantage Of soil and

too light for wheat, but the whole county
ia underlaid with mari, which is sufficient
to change the texture of any soil having
any admixture of clay. But above all, Sur

will be worth ten times as much.
In the way of news, the city has been
extremely quiet to-day, but in business

AyARIETY OF CROPS BEST.


There is no one crop SO much better for
feeding and making manure as to warrant
it's growth to the exclusion of all others.
In a general way, We may say that clover
gives the most value in fertilizers, and corn
and roots in feed. The greatest value in
feed end manure, for given amount of
labor, may be secured by growing clover,
and next, probably, in q heavy crop of
corn. The greatest value of both per acre
will be in roots and sown corn Of some large
variety. With plenty of land and dear
labor, clover and planted corn may do the
best; with little land and plenty Of help,
roots and sown corn. By making the former
the main crops, and feeding all on the
farm,-the manure saved and applied to
good advantage-money may be made and
very satisfactory improvement Of the
soil secured. By taking the same cours e
with the latter, the same result may be Sc
cured on small farm. On most farms all
can be grown to good advantage. Not only
is q good rotation of crops best for the land,
but it makes better division Of labor en-
ables the farmer to 60 calculate his crops
that no one will seriously interfere with the
others, but the work will come in rotation
as it can be attended to all through the
season. In such rotation, clover should
be most largely grown, as it may occupy
land two years. Corn next, occupying the
land one year. Then some grain crop to
seed to clover with. Sown corn and roots
should be as largely grown as circum-
stances will admit, always keeping in mind
the more that is grown and fed to good ad
vantage the better for the stock and the
land.-AlbGny Cultivdtor.
