A LEAF I KON Til F. NOTE HOOK OF A FAKJIF.K. Mr. TVckf.r 1 sent you a few weeks since, a leaf from the note book cf a farmer, with a partial promise if that was insert d, others might be expected Mo fdlw. As a fuir.lmnt I enclose the following additional notes on sub- : . .......

it jects connected with I arming. f Jlrm. Always to plough deep. This principle in firming is I think fully justified, both by the deductions of sound philosophy, and the results of experinnn i u'rnrl t liiiAii fr'ir-Koc lrtl

ploughing and how ? From the nature of soil. Soil is a few of the primitive earths, such as sand, lime, and clay, intimately mixed and blended with decayed vegetable or animal matter. These priaiitive earths when pure are entirely unfit to support vegetation; hence the value and richness of soil depends in a great measure on the quantity of decayed matter added. In a soil naturally good, this mixture of ! .1 .i . i I k the earths with decayed matter or ma nure, has been performed by nature, as on the Genesee flats, or some loamy soils peculiarly rich and deep. Where this union has not been so completely or so deeply effected by nature, it is the province of art to supply this deficiency, and litis the skilful farmer will do with the plough. The substances which, from the nature or the hardness -of the earth, would lie unrolled on the surface, or if rotted unincorporated, he with the plough places it under the surface, where it can become food for plants. Just so fir as the plough loosens the earth, and prepares it for mixing with the manure, which in all such cases should be liberally applied, just so far is it converted from dead inert earth into soil capable of affording root and nourishment to plants. Deep ploughing is justified by expe"rience. I have never known a farmer whose crops were above the average, and whose soil was constantly increasing in richness and productiveness, who did not plough deep. As the soil of their farms has by annual deep ploughing become deep, in exact proportion has the proceeds, and of course profits, of their farms increased. It is said by tome who practice shallow ploughing, why disturb the cold dead eartli it is no advantage to plants, and it had better be left unmolested! I would disturb the inert earth this year, and combine it with decayed matter, that it may be converted into soil, and cease to be inert another jear. I would plough deep, so that the earth turned into soil may be in a situation to be penetrated by the roots of plants, and thus these be secured from the drouth and other evils so frequently fatal to those plants grown in land subjected to ploughing, and of course hard w ithin n few inches of the. surface. I would continue to plough deep and apply manure until the plough can run beam deep in fertile soil, and no half starved or pigmy plants or crops find an excuse for their existence m the shallowed ploughed and impenetrable earth below them. Menu If I employ hired men, and go into the field with them, as every farmer must do who would have his work done to suit him, I will never allow them to take the lead to the field, or when they arc in it. A laborer is generally satisfied if he follows where his employer leads; and few, when properly treat ed by him, are found so destitute of emulation as to be willing to do less. The tailor in London who, having a heavy contract of army clothing to finish in a limited lime, prohibited his Journeyman fiom singing Old Hundred, and introduced in the place of it Nancy Dawson and Old Lang Syne, under6lood mankind, and the true mode of accelerating woik, much belter than many who make far higher pretentions. Too many farmers act as if they had but a single object in iew, the greatest amount of labor with the leat possible expenditure; the idea of comfort and living well do not appear to enter at all into their calculations. Luxurious living, cvui if within his means, the farmer Will devoutly eschew, and with it the accumulated in.ns of evils and diseases that follow in its (rain; but surely, if time is any man entitled to -Iive well, to enjoy the privilege of plain, ouiihing, but substantial diet, in ibundaiice and all limes, the. indusliibutiller of the soil is the man. ," Vcm. Never to cultivate in a year J one species of grain to the exclusion of all others. For instance, to raise this year all corn, next year all wheat, and the third year oats, or someolher grain, is a course of farming that will nut do. . It is placing the success of a years labor on the firm, on the haz.ard of a single die; if one crop fails all is lost. Besides, this system compels a man in neaily cvciy case to pmth.iLO all his seed, a most sciious diuwb.uk on the

profits of a f u m. I have never known I

a firmer who followed as a system this mode of farming, who did not eventually find himself coming out at the little end of the horn. Change of crop?, or as some call it, rotation of crops,is the true system of agriculture; but it must be managed in a way that will give each kind of grain, and each part of the farm, its regular course, and proportionate occupation. Jli tn. Always to avail mysell ot every accessible means of obtaining informatioa respecting my business, and never to allow false pride to prevent my asking or icceiving the useful lessons on husbandry, which the better informed, or the more experienced, arc able to communicate. To acknowledge that we were ignorant, or have erred in the past, is only saying that we arc wiser to-day than we were yesterday, The private investigations, and public discussions of men of intelligence, scarcely fail of throwing light on other suhieets. and I do not see whv the )U5j,;fS 0f farming should be excluded lrom the pale of improvement by such J . .1. means, lean see no reason whv the boy, or young man, as soon as he is able to hold a plough, or turn a furrow VlVVIIi f CIIUUIVI UVVIII of the whole science of agriculture, and beyond the reach of instruction or amateur farmer hold in disrespect, or speak comtcmptously of the knowledge of his less learned, but more practical ly instructed neighbor. It shall be my object to profit by both, by the man of books ami the man of experienceby the philosopher and the laborer. Truth is truth, and as it is not the less valuable because received from the rough hands of a ploughman, so it loses none of its intrinsic excellence i i ii I "ni uie pac o .u. agricultural journal, or lrom the library of the student and philosopher.

him the celebrated rifle which was pre

sontcd to him in Philadelphia two years ago, and which he familiarly called his 'Betsey.' On leaving the town he was surrounded by a number of citizens, to whom he made a short address in the course of which he used this expression. "1 will die with my Betsey in my arms No I will not die. I'll grin (form the walls of the Alamo. The Americans will lick up the Mexicans like fine salt." 1 his prediction was vcrtiticu. lheAl amo was taken and the Mexicans ex pellcd for a short lime. The disastrous recapture of the fort, however, showed that the walls of the Alamo would not stay grinned down. Philadelphia Gaz. A Run Bcsixess Transaction.
