The Rioneer iUill employs about 000, together with a considerable number of the peopll of other nationalities, among whom are AmerjibanSj linglish, Scotch and Irish. It is a mistake to suppose that the Chinese are employed only in manual labor, and therefore compete only with pur producing classes.

Wheat-growing fell into disu$o in rJur State be fore the day's of railroads, tnaiily beauio of tha expense of getting flour or the wheat to market. Indian corn was cultivated in many parts of the State, and still is, because it qould be converted into whiskey and, thus reduced in bujlk, convejed at less cost tomarket. It is this maize culture that lias exhausted our lands, and it ia impera tive inprder to restore our lands tnat it be very greatly ' reduced in acreage. J Ry an improved system of farming, wheat would be again restored to its place as first in the 'agricultural product of the State." .'

It only remains then, to detcrmirjo by experi ment whether the quantity produced pcir acre can be so increased as to justify the farmers ia growing wheat under all the advantages w have pointed out.

Rotation 01 urops. Frequent attempts are" rnde 0 lay down specific rules for the rotation; of tha crops of farm; but there are so many ctrcums tanccs which render it necessary to. deyiato from anyj fixed directions, that it seems to us much more useful . to state the principles upon which the necessity for rotation is based, than jto attempt to pre scribe definite rules. Therei are v irious Subjects to be attained by means t)f a rotation. The most important of these Breathe in provement of the condition of the soil and the pjroper adjust ment of the demand for labor. All other nist tcrs are incidental althougli, of course, tho ques tion of the sale of crops, that is, the production ot that whion will yield tjia most money witn- nnt.

Not, on r are j certain elements of fertility that the soi contains, re moved out of all proportion! to the quantity of other available, elements -that the crop requires; but, as each -crop is attended by its peculiar weeds and peculiar . insects, tbi:so incidental draAV-backs to the success of our 3pcrations are fostered in an increasing decree in proportion to the length of time during hich. single crop is grown. --Therefore, we should cor stantly aim to so alternate our cropping, that, while this year's crop may make an cxcessve dc naod on the pliosphoi;ic acid of the soil, that of the next year, may require less of this ingrcd ieni, ; and 'more of sonic other; aud so that the weeds that are in duced by the growth of th year's crop iuay, by the moi-c thorough cultivation of the niext year, be cxterminated. -It will be found in practice that the greater the number of different crops, tliat cuter iuto the rotation! provided they are all such as can be grown witlilsucccss and apposed of with certainty, the better will he tho ultimata result; and especially blijbuld - clover or fioma other'dcep-rootiog plant fititd a prpminqnt place in the shift, : .for ; these plants . ibtain a larga amount of nutritive matter from tho: subsoil, which. on the decomposition thcyUyield to the surface soil, while tho dcciy ojf. theif deeper reaching roots opens invitug channclii for the descent of the roots of luoip delicate plants. .

It is necessary, therefore, o take into considera tion the araouut of labor tpatagiven area of any crop will require at any particular period; and matters should ba adjusfed, so far as possible (due allowance being niacJefor Lad weather' in such a way that, from the first opining of spring,; until the final setting in pf winter, the regular force of the farm may boconBtautly cmphcd ; and also that the requirement for extra labor, that necessarily attends all systcuvitid furmiug during certain seasons, may bje surely met by the supply of transient nipn witliiu rcaeU. For instance, the raising of rpats and. cabbages, which are highly important, not only as yielding a very valuable addition to the stock of wintcr.rDod, but as greatly improving the jioil through their high cultivation and . the riclt ,mani ring thst they need, requires that a very!; large imount of hand labor be done at the precise time when the get ting in of hay calls for every moment's labor of the regular farm force; jlund, consequently, the extent of these' crops muit be ILfnitcd almost ex actly, by the amount oibiclp that the ! neighbor 'hood' affords due account being taken of the Brvinps r woriicn and children, who. for this worki are even Agrictdlaybt. better than inen.
