From the Richmond ( Vd) Southern Planter.
HIGH CULTIVATION MOST PROFI- i
TABLE.
The following is an extract from a letter j
ofE. Phinney, Esq. published in the trails- j
actions of the Essex Agricultural Society-
Thousands of acres in this country are in
annual cultivation, the fertility of which
has been so exhausted, that the product
will not pay for the first ploughing. To
continue to work without improving them is
the height of folly. By reducing the quan
tity, and concentrating tiie manure, the
same yield might be obtained with half the
force, and a good profit made, where labor
is thrown away. But how far is this sys
tem to be carried ? How much money
should a farmer lay out upon one acre be
fore he begins to improve another? This
will of course depend upon situation and
circumstances. In the neighborhood of a
city, where land is high, and a ready mar
ket afforded for vegetables, many of which
can be crowded into a small space, it may
be advisable to spend a hundred dollars
upon the improvemnt of’ an acre. But to a
farmer in the interior, whose land costs him
eight or ten dollars an acre, we should say
divide it between two or tiirce. It is more
likely that thirty barrels of corn will be ob
iained from three acres, than twenty from
one. The difference will more than pay
for the extra work.
An ounce of fact is worth a pound of
theory, and notwithstanding all we have
seen and read of “extraordinary yields,”
we have observed, that your sturdy prosper
ous farmer, was generally your six or eight
barrel man. When you hear of one who
has made “at the rate” of fifteen or twenty
barrels to the acre, it is generally done
upon the tenth of an acre ; if effected upon
a large scale, and the cost is counted, the
experimenter is ready to exclaim with Pyr
rhus “one such achievement more, and I am
undone.” We of course refer to those pro
ducts obtained by imparting artificial fer
tility to worn out land.
There is certainly a stopping point of ex
penditure per acre, and we believe in a
greater part even of our poor laud, that it
is a long way this side of a hundred dollars.
Nevertheless we shall be glad if Mr. Phin
ney’s observations shall have the effect of
stimulating our farmers to the true point ;
there is no great danger, yet awhile, of their
going beyond it.
The question is often asked, How can
farming be made profitable ? I answer by
liberal manuring, deep and thorough
ploughing, and clean oulture. I will ven
ture to affirm, without fear of contradiction
that no instance can be cited, where a far
mer who has manured grounds highly,
made a judicious use ofthe plough, arid cul
tivated with care, has failed to receive an
ample remuneration for the amount inves
ted—nay more, that has received a greater
advance upon his outlay than the average
profit derived from any other business.—
One great difficulty is that farmers seem
not to be aware that the greater the outlay,
to a reasonable extent, when skilfully ap
plied, the greater will be tiie profit ; they,
therefore, manure sparingly, plough shal
low, and the consequence is, get poorly
paid for their labor. This has raised a
prejudice and given a disrelish to the busi
ness of farming, especially among those who
arein the habit and are desirous of reali
zing something more from their occupation
than a naked return of the amount expen
ded. |
The farmer v. ho is so sparing of his ma- :
nure that he can get but thirty bushels of
corn from an acre, gets barely enough to
pay him for the expense of cultivation ; and
in addition to this, by the ordinary method
of ploughing, his field, at each successive
rotation, is deteriorating, his crops becom
ing less, and in a few years he finds he must
abandon his worn out fields, to seek a sub
sistence for himself and family in some oth
er business, or in some other region, where
the hand of a man has been less wasteful
ofthe bounties of nature.
Instead then of his scanty manuring of
ten cart loads to the acre, which will give
him but thirty bushels of corn, let him ap
ply thirty loads. This additional twenty
loads, at the usual price of manure in this
part of the country, will cost him thirty dol
lars. But he now, instead of thirty bush
els of corn, gets sixty bushels, and the in
creased quantv of stover will more than pay
for the excess of labor required in cultiva
ting and harvesting the large crop over that
of the small one. lie has added thirty
bushels of corn to his crop by means of
twenty loads ctf manure, which at the usual
price of one dollar per bushel, pays him in
the first crop for his extra outlay. His a
cre of land is laid to grass after taking off
the corn, and the effect of his twenty loads
of additional manuring, will be to give him
at the lowest estimate, three additional tons
of hay in the three first years of mowing it,
worth fifteen dollars a ton standing in°the
field. Now look at the result. His thirty
dollars expended for extra manuring was
paid for in the first year’s crop, and at the
end of the 3 years more he will have re
ceived forty-five dollars profit on his outlay
of thirty : and in addition to this, his land is
improved, and in much better condition for
a second ratation. There is no delusion in
this. It is a practical result, the reality of
which any farmer may satisfy himself, who
will take the trouble to try the experiment.
From no item of outlays can the farmer
derive so ample and so certain a profit, as
from his expenditures for manure to a cer
tain extent. This has been most striking
ly verified by some of our West Cam
bridge farmers. It is not uncommon a
•nengsomocf tho fanners in that town, to
put on their ground one hundred dollars
worth of manure to the acre, and in more
instances than one, the gross sales of pro
duce from ten acres under the plough, have
amounted to five thousand dollars in one
season. This is the result of high manur
ing and judicious cultivation of a soil too
which is exceedingly poor and sandy.
VALUE OF HORSES IN ANCIENT
ENGLAND.
“In a document of the year 1000, we
find the relative value of horses in this king
dom, directing—if a horse was destroyed
or negligently lost, the compensation to be
j demanded was thirty shillings ; a mare or
j colt, twenty shillings; an ox, thirty pence,
a cow, twenty-four pence; a pig, eight
pence ; and a man, one pound !”
“ In the laws ofllyweldda, Sovereign of
Wales, dated a few years before this peri
od, a foal not fourteen days old is valued at
fourpeuce ; at one year and a day, forty
eight pence; and at three years, sixty
pence ; this is evidently the native horses !
for there it is ordered to tame them with the
bridle, and rear them as palfreys or serv
ing-horses, but the war-horse is not mention
ed. When completely broken in, the val
ue rose to one hundred and twenty pence,
but left wild, or an unbroken mare, was
worth only sixty-pence.”
A NEW TRAFFIC.
The Yankees are every where famous
for swapping. It is not often, however, that
we have to record a speculation like the
following, even in Yankee land. In a por
tion of the town of Barrington, known by
the appropriate name of timber-shin, lives
one Austin, until recently a sorrowing wid
ower. The wife of Austin not long since
died, leaving him a daughter aged seven
teen years. Like most who have been
blest with excellent wives, he was extreme
ly uncomfortable in this his bereaved state.
Hard by lived a neighbor, whose happiness
with a wife Austin envied. Austin one ■
day mourned with his neighbor over his own |
hard lot, while he congratulated him upon
the possession of such an excellent wife.
The neighbor seemed to think that he wo’lß
prefer the daughter of Austin as a compan
ion to his own wife valuable as she was.
A swap was finally proposed and agreed to.
Austin received a little “ boot” on account
of the differences in the ages of the females
The females ffmking no objection, the ex
change was effected. Austin received, and
has for months lived with the wife of his j
neighbor.
A DEAR KISS.
A curious trial was recently held at
Middlesex Sessions, in England. Thomas
Saverland, the prosecutor, stated, that the
day after Christmas, he was in the tap-room
where the defendant, Caroline Newton, and
her sister who had come from Birmingham
were present. The latter jokingly obser
ved that she had promised her sweetheart
that no man should kiss her while absent, i
It being holiday time, Saverland consider
ed this a challenge, and caught hold of her
and kissed her. The young woman took
it as a joke, and her sister the defendant,
said she would like as little of that kind of
fun as he pleased. Saverland told her if
she was angry, he would kiss her also ; he
then tried to do it, and they both fell to the
ground. On rising the woman struck him ;
he again tried to kiss her, and in the scuf
fle she bit off his nose, which she spit out
of her mouth. The action was brought to
recover damages for the loss of his nose.—
The defendant said he had no business to
kiss her; if she wanted kissing she had a
husband to kiss her, a better looking man
than ever the prosecutor was! The jury
without hesitating acquitted her ; and the
chairman said that if any man attempted to
kiss a woman against her will, she had a
right to bite off his nose if she had a fancy
for so doing.
BOSOM SINS.
At a Methodist meeting held at a private
house, one of the light-fingered gentry hap
pened to be present, whose attention was
arrested more by a string of sausages hang
ing up in the room, than by the preacher.
During the discourse, he had unnoticed, fil
led his bosom with the sausages, when Ids
attention was drawn to the preacher, who
was exhorting his hearers to give up their
bosom sins. The sausage man immediate
ly came forward, and threw his sausages
on the floor, exclaiming, “ Here, take your
sausages, I don’t want ’em, if you are go
ing to make a fuss about it.”
It has been recorded by some anti-connu
bial wag, that when two widowers were
once condoling together, on the recent be
reavement of their wives, one of them ex
claimed, with a sigh, “ Well may I bewail
my loss, for I had so few differences with
the dear deceased, that the last day of my
marriage was as happy as the first.”—
“ There I surpass you,” said his friend,
“ for the last day of mine teas happier /”
A good story was recently told at a tem
perance meeting in New-Hampshire. A
stranger came up to a Washingtonian with
the inquiry, “ Can you tell me where I can
get something to drink ?” “ Oh, yes,” said
the other, “ follow me.” The man follow
ed him through two or three streets, till he
began to be discouraged. “How much
farther must I go V’ said he. “ Only a
few steps further,” said the Washingtonian,
“ there’s the pump f” The man turned a
bout and vanished.

A NEW VOLUME.
May Ist, 1842.
THE SATURDAY POST.
A Family Sheet of the Mammoth Class.
A New Volume of the popular family News
pape, the Saturday Evening Post, printed in
Philadelphia, was commenced on the first of May
18-42, beautifully printed on the finest white lin
en paper. The- Post is the oldest and best es
tablished paper in the Union, having already got
to the commencement of the
Twenty-third Volume,
while scores of papers which have been started
in the last twenty-three years, have passed away
forever, the Post still maintains its proud position
;:i point of circulation and profit, at the head of
tiie family newspapers of tiie day.
The great size of the paper enables the propri
etors to give a greater variety of original and se
lected matter than can be found in cotemporary
sheets. The paper has been greatly
Enlarged and Improved,
And now appears in handsome new type, and has
received the praise of many editors ot taste, as
“ the handsomest family sheet in the Union.”—
Our efforts have been directed to the combining
of beauty and simplicity, with utility and taste.
The Post is printed on a stout white paper, ren
dering it neat and durable for filing ; while in size
it surpasses every other weekly newspaper in
Philadelphia, and has received from its contem
poraries the title of
The Philadelphia Mammoth.
The great size of the paper enables us to give
all important Congressional Proceedings at
length, and all reports and otiier public documents
in lull, together with occasional Congressional
Speeches in full. .
