The necessary steps towards an i'm
proved husbandry in this State ale !:
TO cultivate less land to make that
which is cultivated rich in plant food,
so that it may produce large crops !;
and tive practice of rigid system of
rotation Of crops and mixed farming.
Keeping accounts on the farm is
far too generally neglected, and on
this account many opportunities OF
curt"ling expenses pass by unnotlc-

pruducts of farming are generally, in
such cases, greatly undervalued

borers arc not foolish enough to
strike, and the consequent loss ol
property and stoppage of work at the
most inopportunc seasons, are AVOID
