There is no doubt that the only wav out of hat'd times for the farmers better cultivation—to expeud on ten or twelve acres the same amount of labor expended upon one hundred. The groi receipts may not be as large,but the not. profit will be greater. The force of the farm is now expended in getting over a great deal of ground,while not half till ing the land or half economizing either that, the material or the labor. The farm should not be simply a place re quiring a great deal of walking,digging and harvesting to return a little cash. Like any other business, it should be immediately under the eye and hand of the master and his workmen,and we do not hesitate to say that twenty-five acres of land are all that any oue or ganization consisting of the farmer and his family and one or two hired men. can attend to profitably. There is no profit, no leisure, no time for recrea tion of books in the preset farm sys tem. The ambition to own a great number of acres,and the belief that the land wil bear forever without manure, huv« brought the farm system of the United States to a state in which t! ere mtli iybody.

IF nine farmers out of ten in the Eastern par of the United States would carefully attend to the best twenty-five acres o' tlivir farms and lot the i«st grow up in weeds and bushes they would be bettei off in ten years tli»u they will be ii they follow their present plan, trying to skin over one hundred or two hun dred acres. It is only perfect tiling* and consequent g«»od crops that bring any profit; only fat cattle aud hogs, fa.i aheep and poultry, and fine horses that pay for their keep. All the poor crops the poor butter aud cheeses, and pool stuff of any kind, actually cost the z f ^tuners more than he gets for them, be- ^ sides wearing out df drudgery the^vei of his wife, his boys and his girls, dis gusting them with farm life, and caus ing his own death in poverty befor* old age has couie near him. But the farmer says, “Preaching is easier than practice,” and “it is haul to teach an old dog new tricks; wliat our fathers taught us we must follow until a new system begins at the root and exteud over the country But such a system have a beginning, and beginnings are always small; and, moreover, this is not all preaching. Let the fuiuijv who has ten acres undei the plow begin this full by leaving five of those ten acres idle, untouched; let him plow the other five thoroughly twice, turn every furrow smoothly take off every species of rubbish not covered, put ull ihe manure intended for the ten acres upon the five, and, if sowing this fall, s**e to it that the grain is thick enough, yet not too much and that it is hai rowed tharoughly and as smooth as the house Hour.
