Wo want to lijl to overflowing the horn ol t'lontv. We are laboring under many tv iis old liatiits and methods hang to and weigh ns down like the old man of theSou. Our :individual expense and extravagance aiV too great, and our industry and eu- tAprjse loo .limited.

We need more science and greater skill in our farming int« rents. In every combs there ought to bean agricultural school where litera ture and science are taught and blended with labor. We piopose that tin* branges of every county lease a plantation and es lab ish'a school of tins kind. Competent teachers could be procured, and cheap buildings elected, so as t.. give the ex periment a lair trial. Tile board and tui tion ol the pupils should lie paid by them in a certain number of hours’ daily work upon the farm. The most improved ag ricultural implements should lie used. Tbc pupils should be subjected to tin- most, rigid discipline and the most tem perate habits. Not a particle of loot! should be bought for the iann—all should be produced thereon. The greatest in- dustrv and economy should .beenforced. No boy miller twelve years of age should be received into the school. We need ed ucated farmers. Our maxim should bey “ To the plow, oh, Israel,” not to tlm learned professions and mercantile pur suit - already overcrowded. These work ing schools’would be within the reach ot all classes, and by the habits and discipline taught and enforced, will insure the suc cess of the pupils, who will become exem plars in every community in which they live, to whom their neighbors will look fill' i list ruction anil example. With these educated farmers scattered all over the country, the whole agricultural lump will Li* leavened. The object to be secured is to diil'usu among the great body of the community educated farmers who are practical workingmen. The different tiranges of the county should organize a (•range lor the purpose of taking charge ot and operate those schools. It is more important t-> educate fanners than it is to educate lawyers, physicians and minis ters—because agriculture is the basis of every other business, and its prosperity is tii'ivsMiry to secure success to any other vocation. No branch of business demands improvement so much as agriculture.

John Johnson, ot Geneva, N. Y. (no-* ■:gUiy-seven years old,) is acknowledged to be the most successful, common sense, practical farmer in the United States. We uotice that the Elmira, N. Y. Husband man has an account of a late visit to this venerable farmer. The lann, on which he has lived since 1821, was purchased soon after reaching this country from Scotland, and the land was not thought to be valua ble, as the crops that grew on it were light. “ But it was fortunate for me,” said Mr. Jobuson, “ that I had learned in the old country the value of mauure, and how to apply it. It was fortunate also that I understood the advantage of drain ing, for I soon louud that was the great want of the farm. I sent to Scotland for samples of tiles aud had them made here. My improvements, through draiuiug, soon attracted great attention. 1 drained my farm as rapidly as I could meet the ex- •cf* peuse, and applied all the mauure I could make. I grew splendid crops of wheat and corn. Corn I found was a very pro- litable crop. The stalks we^o^cullojit teed for animals. My wue ~“ sho could make betteisbUth fed on stalks than frcmT’ hay. I wintered a goo* feeding up my stalks, hay. 1 working my large prutile immure. The best crop raised was forty-two andjy per acre on sixty-lduv acres several times i.vised an avi bushels, i aimed to have tm 1 clean and rich, and always to u&fWtrre seed. My rule is to apply manure several months before it is plowed under. I pile my manure in the spring, aud in the fall 1 spread it on such land as I intend to plow the following spring. One gieat object I have in piling iny manure, is to destroy all weed seeds, it the manure is handled enough, all seeds will be destroyed THE WINSHIP GIN Delivered in ATHENS AT Manufacturer’s PRICES.

Frollts of a Small Hairy. Wo began this year with seven cows. At the end of three months I purchased one more, and a three-year old heifer and a month later I bad a heifer come in ui fourteen months old. Now by reckoning these two heifers (as fanners frequently do) equal to oue cow I have with the nine months of the cows purchased, eighteen months, or oue cow aud a half to add to tho seven, which will give an average of eight and one-half cows through the year. One cow died in No vember, just after calving, which was a loss to the dairy for six weeks of a new milch cow, or sixty pounds ol butter ac cording to her former record. I make no allowance for this, but throw it in to make good the account with the heifers. The death of this ccw which was eausedTty necideut, is the first aud only one occur ring in thirty-five years, which is the whole time I have been keeping cows, and this, I think, is an argument iu favor of good keepiug, warm stables, and care ful management of cows generally. We fiud that oar dairy book has credit for the eight and; a half cows, of 935 pounds of cheese, 2284 pounds of butter; aud the Have raised 187 bushels of ears of corn to the acre (equal to ninety-three and a half bushels shelled corn.) This was a little more than au average, although I have had large crops all the time. I plant my corn in drills three feet lour inches apart getting as near as possible five kernels to a foot. I have not planted in hills for thirty years. A good hand will plant seven acres a day with a drill, and when the field of corn is plowed, a skillful workman will turn a furrow so closely upon the row, as to perfectly cover up and smother any weeds which may appear” It must lie remembered that the kind of coi n grown in New York State is the small kind, and hence the rows of corn can he placed nearer together than it would be proper to place them where the larger varieties of corn are raised.
