says that the mere fact that the writer flushed

that they do not migrate. "llis exploits were
the exceptional cases. Take our Rappahsnnock

TUE RELATIONS between SPAN and the U.
s., in reference to Cuba, continue to attract at
tenlon in Europe. The London Morning Post
says it now appears that America has only
made friendly representations to the Madrid
Government in favor of reasonable demands
of the Cubans. 1t is probable Napoleon sug-
gested to the Regency that Spain should act
CONSIDERABLY towards Cuba, and so disarm
American influence. The French Government
tavors a reconciliatory policy at Madrid and non,
intervention at Washington. The Standard
says Prim's attempt to induce England to JON
in n protectorate for Cuba has totally failed.
The Independence Beige thinks it improbable
that General Prim would claim the good offices
Of England and France to prevent the recog-
milton Of the Cuban insurgents az bellgcrenis
by the United States II he should make such
demands he certainly would receive negative
answer But should The answer oil either
country be favorable, the intervention oil
a third party would be sure to lessen the chan
ces OF success for SPAN.
The Journal DIES Dcbats believes that France
and England arc disposed to support SPAN with
their counsel, but the menaclng character OF
affairs has considerably diminished, aud there
is reason to hope the MISUNDERSTANDING with
the United States has been brought to n salts
factory termination.

coming to Virginia to look out for homes, not
to form their opinions too hastily from the APP
pearance which our lands now present. The

AGRICULTURAL.
Do Farmers Study Enough!

The subject of Agriculture is one that demands
full as much attention at the hands Of the read
ing public it gets. Indeed, no theme presents
itself that is fraught with more real import, so
far as regards our prosperity, than the wants of
the agricultural world. What we mean BY at
tenton, is a studious, careful search for the best
way of accomplishing certain desired results, not
a superficial investigation of some theory, mere
ly for the purpose of creating differences or pro
voking discussion. The day has, happily. passed
when being farmer is synonymous with
being blockhead. 1t requires something more
than mere physical strength to keep up with
the advance Of the age, in farming as well as in
science. Many of the systems Of fifty years ago
are no more applicable to the demands Of today
than would be an ox-team to run an opposition
freight line across the plains The farmer who
reads much, and reads that much with care, /,
the one who stands in advance in intelligence,
influence, and prosperity.
Science can aid the farmer in raising wheat
or corn Just as much i, can aid the miller in
grinding it, and the science to be applied in
agriculture is nothing more than a study Of the
composition of soils and the properties that are
drawn from them by certain grains. All this
cannot be done in a day any more than pbysi-
clan makes himself thorough and successful by
staring at = drug store Study, in both in
stances, sustained by judgment and experiences,
produces the desired result
The man Of today, who conducts his farm
upon the same principle as did his grandfather
is doing himself an injury. First, because the
old system does not apply, and second, land that
is worth from $50 to 500 dollars per acre
needs to be used with more care, needs to be
titled better, than land that is worth but $40 or
s2o; upon the same principle that the more Ca
pitsl invested the greater should be the income.
On some of the choicest land in our State, men
are found who plow year after year, the same
