Feed the Land More and Exhaust it
-----.-------... Less.

Every intelligent farmer is aware that
one acre of land, we'll fed, or manured,
with the Ingredients required, by the
growing crop, and we'll cultivated, will
produce more than four acres, manured
and titled as is majority of the lands in
Virginia and other Southern States.
Thirty-fve and forty bushels of grain to
the acre is not an unusual yield in
England, where everything that can be
used for manure is applied. The sewer
age of their cities, guano from the Pacific
Islands, bones from America, and potash
from the European continent, night soil
from their own country, and nitre from
India, leaves from the forest, and muck
from their swamps, all are drawn upon,
and none protest the draft. The conse-
quence is, the earth pays more than ten
per cent. interest; while in our country,
with manure all around us, much of our
land is bankrupt, and much of it will not
pay the investment, laying interest and
profit entirely out of the question.
Did our farmers manure and cultivate
as.do- the farmers of England, our broad
fields would scarcely bear up the golden
haryests, and our Southern land would
become the granary of the world. In.
stead of comparatively small yield to
the acre, as now, we would have an
abundant one; and instead Of the poor,
sickly grains that now too often are the
award of our present cultivation, we
would have the large, plump grain, and
healthy, vigorous plants, that would defy
the attacks of insect enemies and fungoid
diseases.
Our farmers would understand that
poor land will produce poor, siekly pro-
ducts, and that sickly products, like sick
ly animals, invite the attacks of parasites
that will draw out of them the little
vitality that remains. he must return
to the soil, in manuring equivalent for
what he takes from it, and unless an
equivalent is returned his farm will be-
come as sterile as the sands of "the East
ern shore" Indeed, many farmers have
yet to learn that manure is just as es.
sential for the maintenance of the life Of
the farm as food is for the sustenance Of
the body that to tolerate wanton waste.
fulness Of manure diminishes the quanti-
ty Of plain food; and that an ipjudicious
application of iIhas tendency to grad
ually diminish the fertility of the farm
soil, and corresponding diminution in
the quantity of the crops necessarily fol-
lows. He who has learned valuable
lesson, and the success in farming gener-
ally corresponds with the amount Of
knowledge person has of this matter
and the degree of importance be attaches
