I t us is the verdict of the most 6. csaful managers of men who' make he roost monev from their grain. "hey do not begin operations on lank, aw bone animals in September. If prin? pigs are to be killed the samo ear, they commence fattening in priag. If they are winfered over, , aey are well fed and cared for all win;r. The great point is to have no ?ssation in their growth. After they . e once under way it 13 a great loss a momentum to stop them, and it rec lires a greater time to get up motion ain than it does for a railway train , steamer after stopping.

Journal of Cliemislry. Tilt. iUE SYSTEM OF FARMIN'Q. Trying to do too much is acommon '! Dr into which the farmer often falls, i great easerness ia striving to be i is doubtless the cause of his error. 'i: is ambitious and energetic, and : ais his plans on a largo scale, too 'm, perhaps, without counting the . t. lie buys a large farm and wants jo called a '"large farmer," without ierstanding or considering the true nents that constitute a full farmer. ; fancies the greatness of that prj1 ion, as is too often the common esate, to be in proportion to ' . obor of acres, not to say cultivai... j, . u. oraced within the boundaries of his -; lain. The fact is now being epre ad . i road, that a large farm docs cot ; r ;e a man either rich, cootenfed, cr : : 4 py, but on the contrary, the reverse f sdl these, unless well tilled, where '.lIa labor is rewarded by ample crops mv! fair success in the various departments iu which he is encaged. No i snotr can realiza the fall benefits of ) i Drofession without adopticgathor cnth system of culture. His suc3css. caxmc-usurate to his wishes, always J ends upon the manner in which he I r -pares his grounds, plants his seeds u-.d rears his stock. Neither of these le; artment?, which may be considered toe cardinal one of his profession, take care of themselves. The f- may bo rich, but it needs culture. 11? seed may be sown, but it should Ye ii due time, and always in soil well r . :ared, and of a tuitable quality for production of the crop desired. Ill-stock must be constantly cared If f--it t hrives its thrift from the soil, .- - j sends cgain to that soil the stst.t neeit nquires; but this is not , - : ia a loese or bap-hnzird way. farmer's caro i.s required, aod all ; .tetter judgment must be exercised t. '-: ;epio2 up this system of recipro ' eneflrs that may be realized by t intelligent and industrious fr- ? .oroucth cultivation aad system ittention to all parts of his busiis iniiipensable to a gool degree ceess. The very corner stone to . whole system of farming is to do you do thoroughly nature will or jo cheated, and never give full re- .,': to the half way wcrk that is - :iced by vastly too many calling i ; selves farmers. If the land ia I e,, worn, the extent of that exhaus- ; . and the food required must bo considered. When ascertained, , all rueauro of these requirements be given to briDg out full returns. J i t. e farmer has bat a small s'ock, a.i joniqueutly but a small amount M inure to replenish his land, it is r.l as that but a Err. a 1 farm can be r-j'. lied with it; and good judgment ' tes that to cultivate properly a ! f farm, ar'-ificial manures must be ir'good crops are obtained. And th the labor; two men eaa not - sly ti!5 odo hundred acres ol lan, . the labor of two, and perriaPs . . arghtbe profitaby employed on . ty five sores. 1 is is the great error in farming. ;-- men strive to do what four can ! r . y do, and thus thouracds of acres , in over half tilled, and produialf crops. The Und is run over c: s orn out, sustaining year after . he annual tax, till its energies - itirely exhausted, and it fails to yi-. : even a feeble crop, because its worn out. i light that is being epead abroad I is subject is beginning to correct - raotiee to tome extent; but, in : instances very little i3 returned 3 soil to keep it alive, till after : al years of continual cropping it ; Tests sigas of exhaustion and ule barrenness. When tillers cf il understand their true interests, w:U cultivate no more of the land they can do well. Fifty acres of fo tillage, brought to a high of cultivation, pays better than midred ran over in the way that do. TILLAGE 13 MANURE. a recent meeting of the Ellsh. Maine, Farmers' Club, one ;er advocated the tSeory that is manure." "The farmer. plowing and harrowiBg," l.e said, .s really aud effectually manurirg. 'hen carting animal voidmgs to fields. To the unthinking farmer may not be obviou?. Lit us exne Jet us investigate and see. We . and harrow to make th soil fine livisable. But why make it so ? There must be an intelligent n for so doing. There is. : nts take up their food only in a i !e or liquified condition; the soil 't :'es can be no more available as t. food than a block of granite, j-articles may as well be as largo .eanut as to be reduced to the .f pigeon shot, so far as either can i the plant.

plant. 'Another classification suits us Setter, it is to consider the soil as active and dormant, or fine and coarse, i A soil mado fine, impalpably fine, i 3 reduced to a suitable condition to feed vegetation, it then becomes active or fertilizing. While dormant, i it is inactive, furnishing no food or I fertilization whatever. Here then is

the value of tillage, which tends to cbaogo the dormant soil constituents into active ones. The more wo plow and harrow, and harrowing is only fine plowing, and tne more witn tne plow and harrow the soil is exposed to the action and influences of the weather, the more is dormant soil changed into active or fertile soil. Many a crop refuses remunerative returns, many an acre becomes impoverished. Dot because the lime, nitrogen, potash, phosphates and other ele ments ot nunttion have bees cropped out, but because the active elements have been taken out in the crops faster than the farmer with his plow, harrow and hoe has ground or reduced the coarse or dormant elements into fioe or active ones. Farriers talk about -an exhausted soil. Exhastion is a myth, an inpossibility. No soil can be exhausted of its dormant nutrimenx elements. These are deposited in the soil in inexhaustiblo measure, yet the soU may be forced into barrenness by too much manure aod too little plowing. flight here is the hrst grand mistake of unscientific farmers, thoso who by bone and muscle dig hardearned products from an unwilling sail those r'. ,-complain that their manure h;tps are insufficient to keep up the fertility cf the farm those who regret their inability to purchase commercial fertilizers, like porgicchuai and super phosphates. Let me say to such, trust to patent manures less, and to the plow more there is money, there is success in so doing." DJJUTISTS. DR. I.

He has one of tho best and neatest boats that comes to our wharf. She was built and is owned here, and our merchants and shippers will consult their own interests and the inter ests of the city by giving her their undivided patronage Gen. TV" eitzel gives the following in formation relative to the enlarged canal at Louisville: "The distance from mctrcsill to mctrcsill is three hundred and seventy feet. Deducting, therefore, the room required for the gates to swing, a boat three hundrcJLfeiind thirfy-fivc feet long can bo passing through. The extreme dimensions of a boat that can be passed through the new locks are Beventynine and three hundred and thirtyfive feet." There will bo but few boats built until there is an assurance that tho canal will be finished this year, and a continued scarcity of tonnasc may be expected There arc fair prospects of good water till late in the season, as there is much snow at tho head of the Ohio and western rivers.
