{From the American Stoek Journal,
; RURAL ECONOMY.
~As fertile land is necessary io all sac
cessful farming, it becomes a matter of
‘the first impertance that the farmer
should be well aequainted with the most
economical methods of securing this con
dition. No care, or labor in the "prep
‘aration of the seil, will compensate for
\lack of fertility in the soil itself. = What
'do we mean then when we speak of a
sterile soil? Simply a soil that is des
titute of those mineral elements that
constitute the nourishment of plants; or
that does not contain them in a soluble
oruseable form. - . It is nowa received
doetrine in physies, that whilst there
has probably not been a pariicle of mat
ter created since the original creation of !
the world, so, also, there has not been a
particle destroyed. And not only is
matter now held to be indestructible, but
the same is true also of force. Matter
and force are at the bottom of all the
phenomena of ngture. An almost in
finite, and endless variety of new ecrea
tions are annually taking place in the
vegetable and animal world, yet all owe
their origin, mot only to matter and
force, but to the play of forces on the
same old particles of matter that have
entered into a thousand previeus crea
tions, that having filled up their allotted
place in the history of material things,
have died, and gone to decay. '
We plant aseed containing the germ
of a tree. The influence of heat and{
moisture call into activity the vital force
that has hitherto lain dormant in-the
germ, causing it to vegetate and grow.
It sends up first & pair of leaves, to be
succeeded by others. It sendsdownfibers
into the soil to draw from it certain
principles that are necessary for the
growth of the little stem, thatis to be
come the trunk of a trce. The plant
goes on expanding; sending forth branch
es to be covered with foliage. Its
leaves absorb carbonic acid from the
air; this being deprived of its oxygen,
is deposited in the wood, in the form eof
carbon, whilst the oxygen it contained
is exhaled from’the leaves, and thus
given back to the atmosphere. This
transformation of carbenic acid into
wood, and oxygen; tending to purify the
atmesphere, and render it salubrious.—
A tree is thus produced from matter de
rived frem the earth-and from the air.
Let us now cut this tree down, and sub
jeet it to combustion, and what is the
result ? A large part of its weight be
ing simply water, this is first driven off
in the form of vapor and steam, and be
comes mixed with the atmosphere, to be
condensed by cooling, and then tobe re
turned to the earth'~sl the form of water.
The gaseous portions of our tree, sup
ply the material (carburted hydrogen
and hydrogen) for the flame of the fire.
These also are returned to the air, in
the form of carbonic acid and water.—
Thus the hydrogen and carbon of our
tree disappear; and finally we have
nothing left but a small residium, in the
form of ashes; and when we analyze
these, we find them to consist of potassa,
lime, soda, sulpbur, iron, &ec., together
with a small amount of insoluble matter.
All these clements are returned to the
earth whence they were taken. Now
what has beecome of our tree. .It is
true it has disappeared, and as a tree
has been destroyed ; but yet not onc
atom of the matter of which it was com
posed has been lost. All has been re
turned to the earth and to the air,
whence they originally came ; and_ are
formed in condition to nourish and pro
duce a new iree.
Thus we sce that preduction’and de
cay are intended to balance each other.
No new matter is needed, all that we
have to do is to husband and control
that which a beneficient creator made at
the beginning.
How then does a soil pass from a state
of fertility to a state of sterility ? Sim
ply by the force of untoward ecircum
stances, or by unskillfal management.
Sappose that we cultivate a field in
corn year after year, and carefully re
move frem it all the grain and fodder in-:
cluding stalks, that it will produce.
If it be a fertile soil at the beginning,
it will produce a good erop for a few
years in succession ; but the crops must
ultimately become Jighter and lighter,
until finally, we cannot ebtsin enough[
grain to pay for the cultivation. Why
is this? Simply because we have beon }
abstracting from the soil, during all
these years, the elements that arc indis
pensible to the production of a stalk of
corn ; and haveé given nothing back to
the soil; until finally we have abstracted
from it not only al,l' that it contains of
these elements, butall that it contained
in asoluble form suitable for the nourish
ment and growtly of the plant.
Let us now turn the ficld out to com
mons for 15 or 20 years, and we may
then break its soil, and again derive
from it agood crop of corn.
" But we eannot afford to bave capital
invested thus in land that produces
nothing, °
Every field that does not yleld enough
of grain, grass, or fruit, to pay for all
| & labor expendedin its cultivation; to
‘gether with the tax ‘en its value, and
ten per cent on the capital ‘invested in
it, is an unprofitable field. We must
eat daily threugh all our wyears, and
hence we cannot afford to wait thus on
our iields, until the action of the ele
meénts and forees of nature can renew
their fertility. - 'What must we do then {
Simply return to thom, year by year, all
that we take off of them ; or its equiva
lent. '
The barn and its surrounding sheds,
ia the great laboratory of the farm.—
There we transport the whole of its pro
ductions, for the subsistence of animals,
and of man. Our grass, or hay, straw,
fodder, roots, and grain, are there fed;
and the greater portion is there ultimate
ly deposited in the form of animal ex
crements ; and if these be daly preserv
ed, and returned to the farm its fertility
will be unfailing.
Here we havo then, with a small ex
ception to be presently noticed, the
identical materials that last year entered
into the composition of our crops ; but,
having uudergonethe process of decay,
or slow combustion, they are again re
duaced to a condition for tho nourish
ment, and production of the erop we
now desire to obtain, and if we analyze
this material, we shall find the very
bases, salts, ‘acid, and gases, that an
analiyses of the original crop would have
yielded.
We must see that if we have a fertile
soil to begin with; we shall always have,
if we properly preserve and use them,
the means at command, to preserve its
fertility. The exception—to which -we
reforred; is the ehief ingredient” of *the
bones of animals, phosplate of liwe.—
As the animals that are produced on tho
farm are usually slaughtered elsewhere,
the phosphate of limo contained in their
benes cannot so readily be given back
to the soil. A soil thatis eriginally well
supplied with this material, may stand
this drain for a leng pevied of time,
without any falling off in its fortility ;
but one originally poor in this element,
will need to have it supplied from some
gource. 7 :
We are now prepared to comprehend
the subject of fertilization ; and to un
derstand the economy of fertilizing ma
terials. Decaying wvegetation, and the
excrements of animals, we thus see, are
the chicf sources on which the farmer
'must rely for keeping up the fertility of
hie farm. The farmer whe neglects to
preserve and use all these substances to
tho ‘bost 'advantage, will always be
found unthrifty ; whilst on the contrary,
his neighbor, who utilizes all these ma
terials, will not only be rewarded with
good paying erops, but will at the same
time have the satisfaction of finding that
his farm is yearly increasing in produe
tiveness. |
When the traveller then, in passing
over large scctions of our country, finds
the farmers almost without exception,
ignoring facts ; and in practice assisting
all the untoward influences, in robbing
their farms of the eloments neceded for
the production of crops, can he wonder
if he finds, in such sections, a great out
cry about the scarcity of money, and
oppressive taxation ! Neither should
he be greatly astonished to find such a
population ready to indulge the hope
that a change of political adinistration
would bring a remedy for ail _their ills.
[tis no unusual sight, during the fall
months, when the farmer is engaged fat
tening his Xork, to find hi'-’.-‘fiigggding pen
so arranged, and purpesely, that the
rains shall wash all the excrements into
a neighboring stream, that they may
thus be carried away; or find him in
the fall and winter months,. feeding
away all the fodder of his fields to Lis
cattle, in the road outside of his fields,
or along the bars and sand beeches of a
neighboring stream; or to see the ma
nure heap-at the stable ncglected from
year to year, ‘until it becomnes a mere
pile of humus impregnated with a fow
insoluble mineralingredients ; his ficlds
in thie mean time starving. -~ Now it is
plain that such a man is too ignorant to
ba a fafimet ; and prabably too ignorant
to succeed-in any vocation. But this
extravagant was' @ of the fortilizing ma- ’
terials of the farm does not complete the
prodigality of such men. y |
They usnally try te make up in the
amount of land which they plow and
cultivate, for the ‘mucity of its produc
tion, and hence, they are ever plowing ;
and the result is that on steep, or hill
gide lands, the soil has its clements of
fertility washed out of it from year to
year, until it is utterly exhausted.
We Lave prescnted these examples of |
ignorant and unskiliful management of
land that are unfortunately to be _met’
with almest evorywhere, and in many
places constitute the rule instead of the!
exgeption, te show by the force of con- |
trast, the importance of the subject |
of which we enunciate.
The beneficent Creator has provided l
for man a goodly heritage here below ;
but requires of him not only that he shall {
earn his bread by thesweat of Lis brow,
but also that he shall exercise those fa
cilities of intellect with which he hasen
dowed him, that by becoming acquaint- |
e with the great factsof natare, he may |
attain to a better appreciation, not obly
of the wisdem and beneficence of the
great Author of nature’s laws, but alse of
his dependence upon him, and thus be
advanced in character, in proportion as
he advances in temporal camfort ‘and
well being, - wf Bh-M. Ha
A Qe
LARGE AND SMALL FARMS.
Semetime ago the Richmond. Bis
palch contaived a very judicious esti
mate of this question, which we regard
ed at the time as incontrovertible. =
Some thinkers are apt to “run in ‘the
ground,” as the phrase i 3, a new thing,
and this matter of small farms is ono of
them. DBut what the Dispatch said of
them is true. In illustration of this,
we have rccently seen an extract from
a private letter contained in the New-|
be: n Jowrnal of Commerce, which is to
the point. The writer says: , 1
¢l traveled for two weeks with Dr,
R. I’ Ashe (formerly of Wilmington. N.
(~ now of the city of Stockton,) through
the great agricultural region of the San
Joaquin Valley. Dr. Ashe is the second
largest farmer in California. His erop
of grain this, or rather moxt scason, will
be about 7,000 bushels, if the season is
a fair one. ; ‘
“I'was on one of his farms, 2,100
acres in extent, upon which he had five
wen employed in. plowing ‘and putting
in seed. Ile told me he would not em
plo{' over seven laborers until harvest,
and expected to raise 20,000 bushels
grain on that farm. Al this struck me
as very strange—2o,ooo bushels grain
and only seven men to do the labor;
but when I looked at Lis gang plows
pulled by six or eight horses, his sow
‘ing machine on & two-horse wagon, scat
tering the seed sixty feet wido, and so
‘adjusted as tosow forty-five, sixty, or
seventy-five pounds to the acre, one wau
‘being able to sow fifty or sixty acres
per day; and then to his reaping ma
chine, that goes through his fields tak
ing the heads off them leaving the straw
standing, the machines being accempa
nied by wagens of huge dimensions, and
making an opening twenty or twenty
five feet wide, throwing the grain. fast
as reaped upon wagons, which deposited
it fast as received in some couverient
place ready: for the thrasher, which
conie along, worked by either horse .or
steam power, which thrashes and bags
from 1,000 to 1,500 bushel® per day ;
I was no longer astonished. Seventeen
handred acres of this farm will be a vol
‘unteer crop.”
. Here wo see that a large farm is cul
tivated by comparatively few hands, by
the aid of labor saving machines, aud,
no doubt, all the latest improved agri- |
cultural implements,—Petevsbury Fz
press.
This is by nomeans in confliet with
the theory and advantages of “small
farins,” nor dees not it prove that large
farms may bo mado profitable. 1t enly
proves this—that by machinery you
may more rapidly convert the fortility
of a large arca into grain or cotton than
under the old muscular slave system of
the South. The national wealth loses
by boeth systems—the lands are impov
erished and the farmer haa only trans
fered the riches of his soil to his barn or
pocket, £ 42
Inseparably connccted with. ‘“‘small
farms” aro the ideas of improved tillage
and_ increasing fertility, - The more
numerous they are the greater will be
the productive wealth of the State —~the
value of its lands and the well-being of
its jnhabitants. Any land the. farmer
cultivates more than he can improve, is
of questionable Lenefit to himself or
the country. _ .
