PLOUGHING Much time and labor is saved in plough ing long instead of short ridges. For in stance, suppose the ridges are 78 yards long, four lu,urs and thirty-nine minutes ere &pent in turnings in a day's work of eight hours : whereas, if the ridges are 274 yards long, one hour and nineteen minutes ure .sufficient in the same length u.f time.

Let a ariner examine the extent and depth U) w hich the rimts of grain, in a loose and favonibb' sod, will spread, and he will cense to wonder at the failure of a crop w here the subsoil has never been stirred by tin; plough. Small fibrous roots of vegetation extend to a depth, where the soil is loose and deep; and where vi getabk s thus take root they are much less affected by drought. The -oil ht ing turned up to the action of the sun and oir, becomes enlivened, and better fitted for producing vegetation. An acre of land yielding a ton of hi.y, at the usual season of ploughing greensward contains more than twelve tons of vegetable matter, consisting of the roots and tops of grass, and other vegetable remains upon the sur face Such a method of ploughing, then, aa will he best calculated to secure for the hem ft ' f the crop, this mass of enriching substance, the farmer should not hesitate to adopt.

From the American Cotton Planter. COMPOSTING MANURES. Your July number is before me; audi note particularly the remarks of yourself and others about manures, composts, &C I'sing cotton seed as manure-giving prin ciple, I now usk, why he at the expense of hauling ordinary earth, and even stalks say, to compost V Why haul in and haul out again 1 Would it not be as well to open furrows, drill in your seed, draw in corn stalks, and cover with two furrows of the turu plow ?' As the cotton seed decays, the corn stalks and earth absorb all gasses. If much be used, it might be best to com post ; but even then, might it not be hauled into the field at once ? I have used compost, of seed, black soil from a pond, sand, earth, stubble manure &c, but for my garden, all else hauled out and covered forthwith. I haul up hundreds of loads, I might say, of corn stalks, and fill up cow-lot, horse-stables, hog pen, and such like; these, at sui table times, arc gathered into pens of some It) feet a cube, and hauled out in the spring. 1 cannot spare the time to haul seed to a spot for compost, then haul to the field. I prefer hauling seed, leaves, Sec, at once to the field, and cover all up immediately. Thus I certainly can deliver in the field about double the quantity. Unless more care be taken of cotton seed than usual, no need to compost. Taking the past 25 years, and my travel from South Carolina to Louisiana and Kentuckey, I "think, nt a moderate esti mate, 30 per cent, of value has passed off in the air, and some near equal quantity by rain ; not one man in five hundred, perhaps, thinks of keeping his seed dry. Fresh seed put in the earth in December, January, or February, and covered before any decompo sition, is worth double the quantity taken from a pile which has been exposed all the winter to rains, Sec. I give this as my opinion. I do it not that there is no doubt of my being correct, but only as all men should in giving their opinons. If my reasons ure not valid, why it doe? :ae no harm to descend. Look at the premises. My fields are, say one-quarter of a mile from my lots. If I haul cotton seed to lots, then sw amp earth, stalks, Sec, to compost, I must do at the least double work to haul into field, for the compost material will be fully double. Thus a day's work that dumps in my field 110, or 500, or 1,000 bushels, w ill r quire two day's work for material, one one for seed, then three more to deliver in field six day's work to one. But suppose re haul all material to field and compost there- (JSngUsa custom of half a centu ry ago) we then have to haul out again and dump for spreading. The question on my mind is, is it not as w ell to keep seed under cover until a dry time, then haul all material to the field, open furi'ow.s for bedding for ridges, scatter material for coin- post, and cover? All this advances the work, and the earth receives all the gnsses. Why should we double and treble work, if to be avoided ? Why haul earth to com post to lot from field, and then haul compost back, at two or three times the labor ? Whv not haul out fresh manure aud cover? As I bare said, X have composted, but only for certain purposes. I prefer well rotted manure for some garden vegetables ; but suppose 1 would haul out for garden my long manure in October or November, aud spade all under, would I not gain all my ends? Yours, dear sir, in respect, POUTIC. ", t ROLLING LAND AFTER CORN PLANTING. Boffing In ml after planting corn will pay as wi ll as good ploughing or harrowing. Indeed, the time spent in rolling down n hVld pays better than in almost any other way, while preparing for a crop. Many farmer?! who have dropped their seed upon I the dry. hot surface, and covered it with j nrth n-sombling ash s more than anything j else, last spring, had they rolled their field afterwaids, would have seen nice long rows of green sprouting corn about the time they wore planting over. There are two reasons why rolling pro- j duces moisture in dry seasons. One is. that the i-arth. bt-ing nwde firmer, conducts the inoistitK from the subsoil more readily : mid another is. that the ground, being amaN perfectly level, there is little flaofe than ha I the surface presented to the action of the wind or sun, or from which evaporation takes place. Another great advantage in robing land i the ease with which the land is afterwards cultivated. Crushing down the lumps and filling up the hollows leaves the ground in such c fine condition that the cultivator may Ll started almost as soon as the corn begin to "peep," as there is little danger of rolling heavy lumps of coarse stuff upon the young blades. In this respect a roller is of as much ad vantage in wet weather :is dry. A roller can, and in my opinion ouht to be used on corn ground in any kind of a season. It is a cheap implement, can be made with a scraper behind to clean it at every revolu tion in wet weather. A boy can drive tin team and follow a man with the two-row hand-planter. I can show any person who wishes two fields of corn, merely separated by a fence, planted on the same kind of land, at the same time, and out of the same kiud of seed. One has been rolled down, the other has not, and the rolled corn is a fcoX higher than the other. No hills are missinr, it lias not been planted over, while the other has been re-planted, probably on an average of one hill in live. So much for the planter on prairi" toil. .. .

THE undersigned has established an agency in the town of Alligator, Columbia Coun ty, Fla., for the purchase, sale or location of Land Warrants, the purchase and sale ot lands generally, improved and unimproved. The fact now being established that a Kail Road is to be constructed immediately connecting the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, running through the entire length of the county, East and West, and in view of the great fertility of our soil, the unusually fine growth of pine timber on the land, the healthfulness of the climate, and the reasonable terms on which lands can now be obtained, there is perhaps no section of the Union which affords equal inducements to the emigrant from the older States. Having had some experience in farm ing on the different kinds ot land, and ac quired a general knowledge of them through out the county, and haying acquired unusual facilities for pointing out such as are for sale either of public or private lands, he feels very confident of making it the interest of all persons wishing infornation, or who may have deter mined to settle in Florida to cajl on him.
