Principles in Farming.

In my observation of farming, find,
to large extent that the good land
has to pay for the farm, carrying the
poor land with it, which, instead Of
being a help, is burden, not unfre-
auently causing the loss of the farm,
This has been the case especially in the
older parts of the country, and it still
holds to considerable extent. Either
there must be some means OF bringing
UP the poor land, or less number of
acres worked, for only the best farming
stands chance IN this age of rapid
progress and close competition, when
land is high and profits are small.
There must be intelligence, experience,
acquaintance with the land. and eli
mate. and the crops best adapted. This
knowledge is Indispensable, and prac-
tice must go with it; not only Is the
trade to be learned so as to know how
to work and plan to advantage, but the
soil also must be understood, in all its
varieties. Actual experience in under
standingly working the soil for years in
succession, is imperatively demanded if
the best results would be obtained.
1t is of the utmost Importance to I'M
derstand the principles that apply-tht
| WHY'S and wherefores of what is to be
done. This is the domain of science
| For instance, science tells us that sun
light is an important element in growing
and perfecting seed. Ii, therefore, The
farmer plants his corn 80 as to shade the
stalks no ears will be formed; or if he
allows his fruit trees to be crowded IL
the extent of shading the fruit, small
and imperfect specimens will result
| This teaches less closely planting treel
and thinning out the branches-plant
ing corn so as to give access to sunlight
| There is no branch of farming, that ha!
not principles that govern it, which
not understood and carried out, will re
suit in disappointment 1t is the busi
ness of the farmer to improve the con
dition of the soil so as to favor develop
ment. In this lies his success or failure
and it covers the whole field OF farming
which is very wide one, embracing
most of the sciences, from which hi
NAV derive instruction. He thus ha
much to encourage him if he is a man
spirit and enterprise. If slOthful ant
unambitious he will despair, and the ad
vance of time Will soon leave him out 0
sight, and his place will be occupied b
others more worthy.-C0r, Count1,
Gentleman.
