Fanners desirous of practising economy and .gaining from their acres, be they rich or poor, the largest possible yields with the least expenditure of time and mo ney will see to it that plowing, if not begun before, goes forward now on lands designed lot winter , grains, fall seedings and lor corn i next spring. Intelligent cultivators no lon ger question the fact that fall plowing is of the utmost service ;to the soil. Many count it equal |to a dressing of manure, and in j one sense it is manuring, inas 1 much as it places the ground in condition to absorb all fertilizing properties contained in rain. I)is integration is (lie secret, of its ben elieial effects. Its action is both mechanical and chemical. Land ; when broken up by llie plough holds a greater per cent age of water. Il freezes when in this wet state, then it thaws, and the disintegration is complete. All moist tires received on the surface filters through the pulverized earth evenly, and in consequence the rnanurial properties in llie witter reach every particle of noil an*l are retained. The fertilization ol land by pul verizalinn is hut a small tithe, however, ol the benefits resulting from early fall ploughing; the story is only half told, Buckle burs, ox eye daisy, fox tail, and ot her noxious weeds too frequent ly infesting farms, turned under with the stubble of the grain field before their seeds mature, are not only destroyed, hut are forced to nerve in turn by enrich ing the land they pre dened. A not her ad vantage arising from fall ploughing, and an incalcula hie one. is the exposure of petiti lent insects that every season in vade broad fields and accomplish ruinous havoc to their crops.— j Broods of cut worms may he pre vented from foraging on corn and cotton fields in the prospective by throwing them out of their com fort able hiding place; this fall. ! Every progressive farmer under stands from a profitable experi fence the good effects of the frosts of winter upon freshly broken earth. It is only to beginners and the still numerous army of cultivators who refuse to lake time by the forelock, that argil incuts io its favor of mellow and ameliorated soils, freedom from noxious weeds and troublesome insects, need be urged. While il does not pay to put any crop in ground insullicient lv prepared, especially should land, that, are to be seeded down I" the grass, be cultivated well When land cannot be broken up in the tall, it is advisable to accomplish this as soon after as practicable, that the ground thus broken may derive benefit from as many frosts as possible. Mixed Hushuiidr). Our people, we are pleased to learn, are gradually but tardily falling into a system of mixed Ims bandrv, by which the area of the cotton, tobacco and corn iields is being reduced to make room for other things of necessity on tlm farm, or that pay better in the market. Asa consequence, farms are becoming nearer and nearer sell sustaining, and the losses eu countered are loss heavy, it not less frequent. With a variety of crops growing, being cultivated and harvested at convenient sea sons through the year, though one may fail partially or wholly, the next will lie likely to escape and its yield cancel the loss on the first. Thus a variety of crops is the same as a system of assurance, one is an offset, or an insurance a gainst loss on anol her. Il is well known that the one crop plan has not this insurance to rest upon if the one staple fails, their' is no help but to wait for another year and try again ; and this delay of ten amounts to the ruin of the planter. It is gratifying thill, farmers are i at, last cognizant of the- impor tame anti necessity of diversify ing their crops. Their prosperity , and freedom from debt may be measured in the exact ratio in I which they have done and will continue, to do so. It is llw only l sale and proper system for our ; people to pursue, and we would i urge them with all 1 lit* emphasis in our power to diversify more and more. Hut il is nut in respect to cut fivated crops alone those re qtiiring large outlay for manual labor lit?fore they can become profitable—that wo would recoin mend a greater diversification. When money and labor are both soaiee, or t lie people have not t lie means to command labor at need ; ed times, it is good policy to en ! gage as largely as cireunedanees ! will justify in those branches ol industry that do not require much labor such for instance as sheep and cattle husbandry,fruit raising, sowed crops, grasses’ and pastin' age; such things, if possible, as distribute labor through the year or do not call for it when every body else wants it. Each farmer should prepare a routine of his own with this view, and contrive, if he can, to have something com mg in from Id- farm lor market the year round, and have them come in at such limes as lie may be sure of getting labor to save them properly. The man pursuing a mixed Inis j bandry, should not aim to make I large crops of any one thing. He should only aim to take the larg- j est crop possible from the acre.-- Not large areas but large returns should be his motto, ll is the i most economical and best in eve 'ry respect. A thorough system !of mixed husbandry distributes 1 labor through the year, but does not impose overwork on any our | season or part of it. There is als , ways something to do, hut there !is time to do it in; and belter still, there is always something to sell, though it may be but a lit tie at. any one time. If our people would pursue a plan like this they would relieve themselves of much anxiety and trouble, and meet with far great er success in their (tailing. It is a system that reduces expenses and increases returns at (he same time. We advise all to get down to a thoroughly mixed husbandry as speedily a- possible.— tiara! Mcwenyer. * Mttke #j.
