The Coming Year,

There is an inclination amongst weather
wise people to anticipate year OF plenty
in the coming year. We hope their antlci-
pations may be realized. q bountiful year
is always acceptable, and this time makes 1t
thing devout!y to be hoped for. We think
that we shall not be out OF time or out OF
tune, however, in suggesting that it would
be wise for the farmers to take the nitiatiVe
with the view of turning whatever sort OF
crops they may have to the best account by
looking well to their systems OF industry
and cultivation. Never had tillers OF any
soil more difficult duties to perform than
those Of Virginia. The social revolution
which changed the character and order OF
their industry involved them in great per-
plexity and confusion. They had especially
to see how they could change the expansive
system to the close one-to cultivate close
and well, and to circumscribe surfaces and
haulisg, and diminish every way the dis
tances that oppressed the farming probes
sion and increased the leaks and risks OF
tillage.
i AS the far r had by the events OF the
war troubles that could not have been
dreamed Of before it happened, it is in
patient aud earnest study Of this subject
that the farmers main hope OF thrift from
his occupation lies. He must study econo'
my and the best way Of concentrating and
invigorating his force. Let him do this,
and he will make the most OF both land and
labor. But without bis earnest and intelIi-
gent consideration OF these Important mat
tiers he will till the. soil to no satisfactory
result. .-.
We hope, indeed, for most favorable
year .but he who tills the soil most ener-
getically and wisely will make the most of
q good year and be the best protected
against the misfortunes of bad one.
