As to tiie importance of manuring, none can doubt,
who reliects lor a moment on the sterile anti pover
ty stricken condition, of almost all our fields even
no\v under cultivation, which we denominate old
lands. That which wc liave !rosh, or yet to clear
and bring into cultivation; must most assuredly share
seoHtaimug money in sums ; unless we adopt a diflerent course, !
which we now expend out of it for articles w'hich
under this plan, we could make at home.
To further illustrate my views, I would propose
to take.a plantation of 3b0 acres of open laud, and
on wliich there is 15 work liands. This I would di
vide into G equal fields—of w'hich I would liave GO
acres m corn, 60 in cotton, GO in small grain, and
180 in grass or at rest. Eleven or twelve hands
would be quite able to cultivate this crop to advan
tage. Leaving three or four hands to take care of
stock—make manure and spread it on the lands.—
To these duties, they should be specially assigned
and constantly employed. The other hands could
giv'e their whole care to the crop and secure it lor
home consumption, or a market. Many complain
that they have not open land enough to allow’ thcni
to rest their lands, or they could save them. . IjCt
no man say so. It you have only open land enough
to work all your liands on, and you run it con
tinually in crops that] exhaust it, you will soon
have le.ss. It would be far better at once to detach
a part of your lorce in creating more land by multi-
plying its power ol production. Five hundred acre^

3 conception in this partj ^ worning
j of the country, of the great quantity of manure,"your soil to en:
which cun be made, under proper management.—
But to make manure you must have stock. To sus
tain stock you must have grass. To have grass,
you must Irave a rotation of crops—grass forming a
part of ii. As we have not natural meadows
enough in this country, we must make artificial
ones. The want of natural meadows of sufllcient
extent, however, will be more than made up to u.s,
by the great advantages of n sward culture. The
fjuantity as well as the quality of the manure which
can be made, depends not only on the number of
well ltd stock, which we are enabled to keep, but on
the preparation of j’our feeding yards and farm pens,
and especially on the quantity of suitable litter,
which you ma\* be able to furnish. These tilings,
all well arranged and attended to. I feel confident
that from S to 10 tons of g-ood manure, can be made
lor each head of horses, cows and hogs which you
may keep on 5'our premises for one year. And this
too at a trifling expense compared to its great value.
The manure once laade, the next important step is
to j)reservn it iccll—apply it rarpjhllij. It is imposfji-
blc for me in the bounds of this address, to enter in
to the minutia of mainire making—the best method
or preserving it, or the time of applying it, to the
greatest advantage. These will be more properly
the duty ot a^-onunittco, appointed to suck purpos
es. They are well entitled to the consideration of
our most intelligent members, and i hope will re
ceive it. 1 will oJily add, tlmt the CuHivator, pub
lished at Albany, N. Y., is the ablest work I have
been able to consult on these points, and 1 take plea
sure in recommending it to your perusal.
yhe selection of a suitable rotation of crops is a
matter on wdiich wc may suggest some general
rules. Their application must depend somewhat
on the condition of the farm or plantation on w’hich
they are to be adopted. To the grain farmer the
subject is less intricate. To such as have their
farms in good heart, (if any such there be) a four
years shift will do—viz: 1st, Corn. 2nd, Small
grain. 3rd and 4th, the grasses. To such as have
much worn lands to cultivate, a five years shift is
better—as it w'ould give them three years in grass
—support more stock—make more manure and add
much to the the vegetable matter to be turned in.
To the cotton planter a five or six years is neces
sary, viz: 1st, Corn, witli all the long manure they
can start. 2nd, Colton, with all their w’cll rotted
manure. 3rd Small grain. To the wheat pari ol
the small grain crop, they should apply all the cot
ton seed they can sj>are, which can be best united
with wood ashes as a top dressing in the spring.—
Wi!h all the small grain, sow grass seeds bounti
fully, that the 4th, 5ih and Gth year will be in a
grass lay. This may look like limiting your Cot
on crops too much and cunailing your active in
come to an inconvenient extent. I admit that where
cotton gToy>'6 Avell, it is a most important crop. I
hope it will long continue with us a leading article
for market. Oitr great en or has been in making it
our sole dependence. JVn huve draim on it for eve
ry thing else, and ichen it has become depressed, v'e
are in icant of almost every thing uhich it has here
tofore supplied to ns. While cotton commanded a
high price it w’as natural that we should llill into
this error. The price is now so low, that it w'ould
be folly in us to continue longer under the delusion.
And I cannot see one gleam ol hope that tlie price
ever can be better. Indeed wc have cause to fear
it must vet fall much lower. While we know it is 1 r . , ,1 j-
.• ‘1 -.1 , spread irom the nlant. nlough at a greater distance
an article ol mucli importance—with many and , ^ o
Next to manuring and rotation of crops, with a
view to improvement in flirmes. Good tillage is
the next important consideration. On this head I
must be brief; because from experience 1 have but
little to ofler. The most prudent plan I have no
ticed, is a good fall and winter preparation,
by thorough deep ploughing. The great advan
tage of good ploughs, and other agricultural imple
ments, now bccomcs manifest. Our present man
ner of ploughing' is too superficial: and our agri-
ctillural implements behind the a^o of improve
ment. The ploughing with our light ploughs, up
and down the hills without regard to side-hill ditch
es, is one great cause, which has given to our hill
sides, that wornout appearance they every where
present Deep horizontal bedding, witii side hill
ditches would have prevented this. Now many of
our hill sides, are too far gone, to bear iho plough
—but side hill ditches, yet, would boa benefit.—
This, with sotue brush wood or litter on their bear
surfaces, may with the aid of natures slow porcess,
hide their naked deformity, until they can rccover
iiew' life and vigor. But not a moment is to be lost
in siving such as arc not too far gone. In a part
of Virginia and North Carolina, where I have
travelled lately, and where they have to guard
againt the injury incident to Tobacco planting as
w'e should against the Cotton, they have succecded
much better in preseving their hill-sides and roiling
lands, than wc have. This I attribute to their hill
side ditches a«d horizontal beds. All the best far
mers drain their whole estates by ditches at short
intervals, wdiich wind around the hill sides, and are
so graduated as to convey ofl* the w^ater without
muth injury. J^etween these ditchcs horizontal
beds arc made w^ith w'aler furrows between each,
and is so graded as to empty the water into these
ditches, iiy these means washes are prevented.
Their corn is planted in the centre of the bed. and
of course in drills, as yo’J scarcely ever see a
staright row’ of corn, or corn in hills. When they
seed the land, they throw two of these beds togetii-
er. but still preserve the water furrows with care,
between these widened beds. W^hen they prepare
stubbie lands for corn, they again sub divide Jhe
whcat-bcds, and it takes ils first positon. Under
this management, they prcserro their land from
washing—keep it clear of surface water in tho win
ter, and arc enabled to plant early on a dry and
well prepared soil. A crop once planted on a good
preparation, is half made. Our next object should
be to work it well w'hile young: and at such times
as the soil is in proper fix for work—Avoid by all
means working ground when too wet. Let your
next object be to keep the soil fine and loose, free
frotn grass and weeds, and never break the root of
a plant, that you are cultivating, that you can avoid.
To this end, plough deep at first, so as to pulverize
the .soil, before the roots are extended. As they
great advantages, yet we arc constrained to acknow’-
ledge. that it has contributed more than all other cau
ses together in bringing our fields to their present
sterile and wrctched condition. Under all these con
victions my ol)ject is not to reduce to a great extent
i the production of Cotton, but 1 w’ould rery much re-
I duce the quantity of land employed in making it.—-
; In the planting one third, or at most of the land in
Cotton, w’hif h wc now* do, we can by manure and
the better culture, make two thirds or tliiec fourths
of our present crops. Instead of planting from 6 to
8 bales to the hand and getting 3 or 4 as is often
the case, I w’ould plant for 3 bales to the Jiand and
this could be, almost insured. If I am correct m
this, the benefits w'ould be iinmediaie and great.—
A full supply of every thing else wdiich our farm
can produt'C, can be made for home consumption, if
not for market. And our cotton at the same price,
would bring us more cash to go to the payment of
our debts or the purchase of i)roperty than it does
at present, if wc takt in'c* consideration the amount
and more superficial.
The next matter of interest is our farm stock. I
have already extended this address beyond my
wishes, and I must merely glance at a matter w^hich
would require much time and more information than
I can bring to it. In stock, the first object is to pro
cure suitable breeds. The next, is to keep it w’ell,
and take care of it. All stock will deteriorate un
less attention is paid to breeding them. The best
breed of hogs that can be found will become scrubs
in three years, if sufTereJ to breed in and in. The
best breed of hog.s that I have seen is the Berk
shire hog, and they are good enough for any pur
pose. They arc now’ wnthin our reach, both in
this State and Noith Carolina.v I have seen those
bred by Col. Kelly of Davie county; I assure you
they are very superior, and suitable pairs can be
got at almost any tune. To make hogs cheaply,
good orchards will be found useful Apples and
beaches, so selected as to begin to ripen early in the
summer, and continue to come in until frost. I re
commend apples and peaches to you, not to make
hog's of yourselves but to make good hogs out of
poor ones.
Almost all fruit trees are now within our reach
at a low price. I have lately visited the nurseries
of Charles Mock, Esq., of Davidson county, N. C.,
and find he has’an abundant variety of well selected
fruit trees. ()ut of these, I have procured for my
self, and will take pleasure in ordering for my
friends, such as they may want.
I cannot in justice to the Society, closc this part
of my subject, u ithout noticing a grass farm, w'hich
I have visited in C^uilford County, N. C. It is on
a four or five years’ shift, that is, 1st, corn—2nd,
wheat, and then in grass for :2 or 3 j'Cars. 'The
grass cultiv’^ated is Red clover and FTerds’ grass.
Iiileven years since, when this farm come into the
possession of the present proprietor, it was much
exhausted : but lay well and was cabablo of reno
vation. It fell into tlie hands of a man who had
industry, perscverancc and good science, and has
succecded. It would not then produce an average
of ten bushels of corn to tho acre, it will now pro
duce fifty bushels. It cost him then six dollars per
acre; he can now got, (hard as the times are) six*
teen dollars per acre, lie came on the place poor,
he may now’ bo said to be couiparatively rich. By
the work of himself and two hands, he cultivated
in 1^10, 30 acres of corn, 30 acres of sinaii grain,
and 0 acres in gra.ss. Me killed in tiiat year about
20,000lbs neat pork. In making this, ho grazed
the hogs through the summer on clover,—gave them
30 acres of peas in his corn-field, after the corn
W’as gathered, fed one week on sheaf oats, when he
brought them first into the pen from the pea field,
then finished fattening on 350 bushels of corn. In
fattening, he made a large quantity of fine msniire,
which hesvalued, at more than the corn fed, in so
doing. His hog lot or pen, was situated in that
part of his farm, on which he wished his manure.
It was in the form ot a lane, closed at each end b}*
a gate, through which he could pass w’ith his wag
on—while his hogs W’ere gleaning his peas, he was
employed in bringing into his lane or lot, all his
corn-stalko. I'his become the foundation and re-
ceptical for the manure made by his hogs, during
the time they were fed on it, both liquid or other
wise, and for which the pith of the corn-stock is
w’ell adapted. To this, he added the straw from
his barns. T'he oat straw increased the general
pile, and lo this he continued to add leaves and
branch w-eeds—his fine heavy hogs now became
useful manufacturers, and made a most excellent
and extensive bed of manure w’cll worth the corn
fed to them. It is true that his wagon and team
was lor a considerable time employed, yes, and I
can assure you ?rcll employed, Xbr which he was
fully compensated by the returns of a generous soil:
made rich and able to reward his toil.
OCCUPATIONS.
Theiei.snota niore fi)olish notion afloat in the
world, than the one, that it is the occupation that
gives character to the man. One occupation, as the
means of ‘‘getting a living,” as the phrase goes, is
precisely as high and creditable as another, provi
ded it be honorable and in accordance with che laws
of God and man. The man who holds his plough,
hammers his iron, or drives his peg to support his
family w’ith the necessaries and comlbrts of life, is
not a whit below the one who measures tape behind
the counter, mystifies the law at the bar. or presides
at the councils of our nation. There is a vulo-ar
and most pernicious feeling abroad in the commu
nity on the subject. Fathers must educate iheir
sons or one of W'hat is termed “the learned profes
sions.” Daughters must marry a lawyer, a doctor,
a clergyman, or a merchant. Horror! the good la
dy would as soon think of marrying Jier daughter
to a Winnebago, as to an honorable mechanic.—
Why, the flimily w’ould be disgraced, the name dis
honored! No! no! the business of a carpenter, a
blacksmith, or a farmer, is not as respectable as that
of shaving notes, drawing solidify from tho desk,
peddling rotten wood or pills, or selling snufi' or to
bacco. And yet the duties of all the learned pro
fessions as W'ell as those of' a mercantile character,
are performed for the same reason that a shoemaker
waxes his thread, and the farmer plants his pota
toes, to wit, to obtain a living! Still, a set of up
start fools, who are almost universalbj low bred peo
ple themselves—people who have began life in the
ditch—endeavor to establish in society artificial dis
tinctions which they hope w^ill elevate them above
the common mass from w’hich they were, taken and
give lo them an importance, when innate tvorth
and honesty could not command it. Labor is labor
—honest labor is honest labor. Honest and honor
able labor are the same, vidiether performed by the
king or the beggar, and is just as honorable in the
one as the other. It is true that all men by habit
and by taste are not fitted to pursue the same voca
tions—and there are natural divisions, not dittlinc-
tions, as the Avords is commonly used, created by
harmony in taste. This is as it shotild be, and fits
us for a discharge of all the peculiar dutie^ that de
volve upon us members of society. But to say that
a man performs in any given duty, Jiowever hum
ble that necessarily degrades him or renders less
meritorious than his neighbor, W’b.o performs anoth
er duty, yet not more faithfully, is to say that we
still adhere to the monarchial jirlncipies of the
old wory.
Let the father educate his son to some honorable
calhng, and if he has predilections for any particu
lar business, as is often the case, let him follow it, if
it be possible. It is (ho man that ennobles the busi
ness, and not the business that ennobles the man;
and not spend a thought upon the distinctions in oc
cupations, honorable and honest, that fools have at
tempted to build up. Let children be taught to be
honest, honorable and upright, to set a proper value
upon the riches of the world w'hich is at best a bub
ble, blown in existence to-day to bust to-morrovr,
and 10 understand that the only true and real di/
tmction m society, arc those of vice, and that the
only true and enduring riches arc an intelcct duly
cultivated, ailections scJiooIed, and a heart that
knows no guile.—J^pirit of the Al^c.
