One great drawback :osuccess lul fanning.is the universal ellort to cultivale large quantities ol land to the liand. One acre ol land, well fertilized and properly cultivated, will make 1 liree or four times the quantity of grain that is usually made on land without manure, with imperfect eultiva tion. Now, why go lo the extra expense stud trouble lo go over thirty acres of land which, ordi narily, produces uhout ten t>r fif teen bushels of corn, or front 1 liree to live bushels ol’ wheat, w hen ten acres of the same land car lie made to produce thirty bushels of corn and thirty live or forty bush els of wheat per acre ( At Ath ens, (Jeorg'ia, the test was maifc to see what quantity of wheat could be raised on an acre of land, and Col. Barry, as well as I recollect, raised over iift.y bushels of wheal to the acre; another gentleman, Mr. Bancroft, raised about twenty seven hundred pounds of seed cot ton to the acre of land (hat had been tended tor many years, Both these experiments were made up on land that had been exhausted. This shows what properly fertil ized land will do to increase the production. Any industrious far liter can make the manure upon his farm, with the ordinary stock necessary on the farm, to manure live acres each year. This live acres, made thus rich, will \ i<• 1 and more than lifleett or twenty acre.-, of poor land, Let us see up i pose a man tend twenty acre ol ; common poor land, which yields live bushels to I he acre,that gives ! him one hundred bushels of very I sorry corn for the labor of cult i j vating twenty aererf; but suppose he enriches live acres, and make lit produce thirty bushels to the ! acre, (which can be done,) that | gives itiitj one hundred and lift.y | bushels for the lubopof eultivat mg five acres against oho hundred | bushels for cultivating twenty a ores oi poor land? Audi lie above estimates are too low for thor oughly cultivated and well fertil ized lands. Land made to pro duce its full capacity, will run much higher in production than above stated ; and land, manured ever.v year, w ill yield a large re till’ll for the out lay, and become better each sije o-'idye year. The lands in New York. Rennsydvaiiia, VirginiaandMaryland w hich have been cultivated a century, now yield large crops every year, and some of them even more than they did when lirst cleared. And this is the direct result of cultiva ting small farms and making them rich. They'cultivate the land one year, then seed it down in clover or grass, or lucerne. Thus, it is not only rested, but, if pul in lu cerne. it is-tmpjdied with a good quantity of azote from the air, which it leaves in the >oi! for the next crop. Thus land may not Holy he made to produce good crops every third or every' alter nate year, but be gradually made rich. The air and wider, falling on land, furnishes it with a good supply of oxygen and hydrogen, which, if aided by the industry of the fitrmer, in furnishing the ammoniac and nitrates in proper quantities, will soon enrich his laud, and give him good crops all the time. A proper rotation of crops has much to do with the in creased production of the land; no one kind of grant should be put uj)on land Two yyars without it change. Wheat will not grow twoj ear in succession upon the same land without being well fer tilized. Cotton forms an excep lion to this rule, a it, like pea . draws much of it support from the air and the water; const quently,does not exhaust tin- oil like the cereals. Laud ha been too plenty ami too cheap in the South hitherto, and for that tea son men have not learned to <-n rich small bodies of it. and make it produce to y full capacity; but the rapidly itOTeasing population of this country iio.a ’demand a Change in this matter. \V<-mu p now begin to -ave our laud <a- we /pill, like Ragland ay<f <rne oth el-countries, not Ime room for (he multiplied number tli.it are crowding'-the staife of busy life.

There is no doubt that when (he land is v ery heavy or hard steam i a much elieaper power titan horse labor, and iii many case, where horses could not possibly break the land at all it i- worked into good order by steam power with the greatest east*.
