ANY district Of country which Is
naturally a grass growing region, and
Of which character the lands in the
Middle States chiefly partake, has
within itself all the elements Of sue
cessful agriculture, provided its oper'
atoms are conducted with system and
economy. And if our farmers could
DO induced to raise more grass and
lees grain, al traces Of unproductlve
LAID would soon disappear from
among them. In fact, grass, where
ever it can be successfully grown, Is
tie only basis upon which The farmer
can safely rely 10 preserve the fcrtil-
ity Of his land
Why is il hat France, with her three
aces to one under cultivation, when
compared with England, produces on
the aggregate no more than the latter?
1t is because in France the three acres
un Ter cultivation receives the manure
of but the one acre in grass, whilst
in England the one acre under cu.tl-
Va; ion receives the manure Of the

amount OF the product Of a busAel Of

was equivalent to guano, pound for

this industry would furnish pyofta-
