Poor Land.
It is never profitable to cultivate
poor land, and especially it is not profi
table v to cultivate it with hired labor. —
Let the owner of poor land, says the old
Geoigfa Plantation, pay good wages to
laborero working by the month or year,
rnd 't will often happen that the entire
crops ai.se and will not sell for enough to
pay theirjwages. Results like these drive
the c . ners of such unproductive soils to
sol! ibi what they can get and remove to
ft new country, where Iresh land may be
had at a low price. Rut is there no way
in which old fields, and naturally thin
soils, may be greatly improved dlul, *t
the same time, pay good wages fcr la
bor.
It is precisely at this point that science
comes to assist the farmer where he most
needs assistance to keep him bis wife
and children, flit of their far-off wilder
net.6. Science tells him that all agri
cultural plants are formed of air and
pure water, to a large extent ; and that
0 itnioon air and water are as useful for
making crops on and over poor land, as
on and over rich land. If every owner
of f poor farm understood these tw
important facts, the information would
holp him wonderfully to supply the few
lacking substances to make go.,d crops
andan independent living on the old
homestead
An acre of earth, such as is cultiva
ted with the plough, weighs a thousand
tons ,if taken up to the debth ot ten
inches. It ofteu happens that from
three hundred pounds of agricultural
salts applied to an acre ol poor land, add
four, fold to the harvest. The salts con
tains no vegetable mold, and nothing to
make it; and the solid matter whicn
they add to earth in which corn, cotton
cr wheat grow is only one part to seven
or eight thousand. The spring and
summer heat and sunshine the rain and
dew, and the atmospheric gases, over
and in poor soils, are substantially the
same that they, the ooean oi gases an
vapors m which ail agricultural p ant
grow, in f ruling said plants, vi 1 be
cnrefully studied, and unniversall
known. In manuring the ground at the
bottom < f this vast ocean of air, in an
unsaientifio manner,farmers thro.v away
millions of dollars in U>or misapplied
and impoverish a great (leal of land to
■ their ini ury, and the public oss. bound
agricultural education will, one day. put
an end to this error in farming.— Mobile

The Western Hog Crop.
Though full returns of the West’ rn
hog produce for the past season are u<d
yet iu. from all the minor points, the es
timates now at hand will probably vary
but little from the final total. Ve give
these iu another column. The state
meat includes the number of h )gs pack
ed the average of weights and yield of
lard ; also' the amount of mess pork made
The total packing represents 4,805,300
hogs, as agan5t5,566,000 a decrease of
about 700,009. The average weight for
the season of IS/5-6 is placed 21799
pounds uet, as against 200<7 pounds
last year, an increase of 8 | pounds noi
or nearly four per cent. The averag*
yield ot lard is 34.55 pounds per hog
against 35.20 last year- 1. ho total yield
of lard shows a falling off ol 20,500.000
pounds, or about 54,800 tierces, es com
pared with 1875. The aggregate net
weight of hogs wi'l fall about 100,000
OOlfpoands below that of last year, a de
crease of about nine per cent. JS'cic

Tlie Continued Extort of Cot*
ton Goods. — It is a fact not generally
known that the British drills, jeans and
sheeting imported now are all stamped
with American brands and the names of
leading American mills. Respecting
the export of cotton goods to England
the movement continues with consider
abl<s success. The number of packag e
shipped from'* New York and Bostnh
since January Ist amount to nearly 18
000 packages, against 10,000 package*
during the same period, iu 1875 It i*.
admitted that there is notT much rrofi
in the movement, but it has a tendency
t > rid the country of a portion of th
surplus cotton, beside giving employ
ment to thousands of hands, though at
a reduced rate of wages. It isuanec
ebsary to add that the quality of good*
