AGRICULTURAL.
MINED FARMING.

/ 1t is in vain for the farmers of New
| England upon their lean and hungry soils
| to compete in the markets of the country
and of the world with their brethren who
occupy the cheap virgin landsof the west,
in the production of grain, where the sale
of single crop in Il single good season
pays for the land and all the improve
ments besides. But this fact need not be
a cause for discouragement to any owner
of New England farm, for the changed
conditions of the last few years may be
made to inure to his benefit, if he is wise
enough to note the signs of the times.
The PloughBdn has always been the ad-
vocate of mixed farming" that is, va
riety of crops tall the eggs never To he
put in one basket, and that each man, in
his own locality should give his attention
to those crops which will pay him the
largest profit for the labor bestowed.
With corn selling in Boston for half Il
dollar a bushel OF thereabouts, it is folly
to attempt to raise corn at n profit upon
New England farms but there are crops
which involve great deal less of labor
and expense, but perhaps little more
care and attention which will yield far bet
ter returns. In the neighborhood of
cities and manufacturing towns, the cab
bage can be cultivated at large profit
and the time never has been when aspara-
gus was produced in such great quanti-
ties as TO glut the market and afford Il
poor man an opportunity to give his fami
ly full meal of this wholesome escu-
lent
The cultivation of berries is also a
branch of industry that pays well, and
never better than in recent years. If the
farmers of Virginia, Carolina, and Geor-
gin can make a handsome profit in raising
Strawberries for the Boston market, why
not the farmers of Massachusetts and
other New England States enter the lists
in honorable competition? Blackberries
this week have been selling for eighteen
cents a quart The transportation is
cheap. and the expense of cultivation is
light A single acre of either of these
favorite fruits will yield larger profit
than 20 acres of corn, and the crop is as
easily handled and can he converted into
cash when the farmer most wants his
money in the spring or early summer, at
the time the taxes are to be paid and the
improvements upon the farm can he best
carried on-.UdsS. {POUyAHidR.
