ONSUA LL FA RMS. (Communicated. Article Mo. 14.) The present system <>i cultiva ting two much laml is most inju rious, wherever llie farms muke up to the importance ol tending less laud and putting it in a bet ter state of cultivation, wo will see a great change for (ho hettci in the farming interests. Every farmer seems to think lie must put in all the laud he can possi bly get and in order to make n good crop, entirely o\4r4looking the importance .of potting tin land in a proper statu fur a crop. They go for quanily and not qual* >ty it aaoms. The result is Hint the laud is not half prepared be fore planting and a natural con st quenoe only a half crop at bust. Men will spend hundreds of dol lars during the winter to clear up land that would be far belter and more wisely spent in enrich iarg aud manuring up the land they now have cleared. Not until the craze for large farms and many acres of land gives way to a more enlightened idea oi small farms well attended to, and brought up to a higher atato of cultivation, will we realize the needed improvement in our farm ing interests, When ever a man wishes to buy a farm it seems to be the idea that he must gut great many aoreß. No one horse farm needs more than thirty acres ol land, 20 in cultivation 10 for tim ber. We blieve in the great im portance of every man owning laud, bat many,who could buy a few acres of land and make com fortable hemes on it and a good living, refuse to do so because they can not buy at least 160 acres to lie nso'ois and pay tax on. Let any young man who can buy 20 or 30 acres of land—may not bo very good land—and go to work, put up neat cottages and manure up his place and culti vate it nicely and you will see how it will beat renting from year to year. Any man who owns or buys up a Urge tract ot luid grid keeps a hoard ot ren ters on it is generally an injury to the community in which he lives. The policy ought to be to sell off small fariqs aud divide up the land and let all who live on it feel an intent in it as a home. There*is not much incentive to the renter to improve and build up land, churches, schools, etc nor any other interests as a rule, a few exceptions—not many. Then we advise every man to get a borne if it be even so small and poor, and go to work to make ii better, and bis cultivation w.l soon be far better than that of a renter. When you get a home feel that you want to leave it bet ter than you found it, It is a low idea in any man to wish to leave any thing worse than he found it. - i—-•—>■ ...i.. i Rcscoe Gonkling,tbe great New York Republican Senator, died 1 yesterday moruiug at 1:50.
