Much has bpen s;ud in prais? ol En <lib i husbandry, il is a well known fact tnat this vaunted system is surpassed in many countries which do not possess equal natural advantages. In Scotland, agriculture has progressed at ledst hall a ccntury !)? yond that of England* where the soil and c limatr arc far more conge nial to the pi oducti'.ns ol the earth than the " bleak mountains of Cjledonia." Hut no vthcrc in tin wrld is the con trast so inarki d us ttiat between the l-'leiuish and English mode of cultiva tion. The average produce of a crop of wheat* in England, is 24 bushels per ?*crc. I i l-'landers it is 3'- bushels. In England, the system ?>1 fallow* almost unhersally pievails. I;. Fiaodeis, it ha been unknown from time immemorial; two crops, in many cases tnrec, b? ioy; uniformly raised annually on tue sa ??? field.

At no very distant period, the iU-lds of Flanders, iv ? so productive, were little elSe bu* loose sund and gravel, whereas t'oe soil ol England ^ naturally fertile, and in pari lies iind r a moie southerly parai lei than h'laiders. The rich, abundant, and healthy crops obtained oy the Flemish farmers may he traced t.< the following cau>e&: ? 1 The abvn. dance an.l judicious :ip plicauon of manure. 11. Digging all lie lands on theii farms with the spade, every six or every three years. 111. The c /inph ic i x'irpation of weeds and nox ious roois. IV Heguiar and repeat: d hoeing. V. A careful choice and alter nation, ol grain and sctris for sowu.g. VI. A" improved rotation of crops. ?k The whof set ret (observes Van detstia" n) rcspe- ting the suprviority of Flemish agrictiituie, consists in this; ?.he farmers procure plenty ol fot.d !? r t lieir tank ? fund which, excepting clo mt, is taiseci tri.ni the same lands whic . ? ,tv> already yielded t.teii crops of grain.

They moreover, dress their grounds to the pr<ri>e point of perfect pulverization. These arc ines timable advantages, which cannot be ob tained by any plough whatever: h nee the drift of the Flerr! ?h adage ? 14 Ne ver to let the naked ground lie open to the sun in summer for more than thiec <iays. tk In truth to say that there exi.ts a vast province, in which the price of lands has heen quadrupled within fifty years, and which is neither placed under a more favourable climate nor enjoys a greater fertility of soil than 11 upland, from which fallowsin general have been banished from time iinmcmori.il; in which the greater part ot lands produce in 9 years at leal 15 harvests, of which those id grain yield, on- yc??r with ano ther, an high as 32 bushels id w n-ai per acre; those of barley, 60 hushe>s; and those of oat'.. 90 bus ?cl?; and where the borders of the fields are plantc i with I .tries, in such nnmbcis, thai by their | auk the proprietors acquire, evciv 40 ytars, a sum of money equal to tin- soil; to say this, nppt ars, to other than Ki - glish r? a<lei s,t-> repeat a n*su?- of fable*. ? The lens informed attribute this unin e oj__ haivests 1o it* sol*; out Uavj attribute it, on the contrary, and with the best reason, to the indefatigable in dustry of the inhabitants, and to a high ly improved mode of culture, of the de tails of ur.iich they are themselves igno rant, ;^nd which, beside. from their complication, and the great variety of the productions of the soil, require a profound study, of many years duration, to which few of them have either the inclination or the leisure to apply." This correct, though " biid's eye" view, of Flemish husbandry, merits far ther amplification, in order to furnish, distinct data to the intelligent and enter prising agriculturist. My subsequent communications will be directed to that object. Respectfully yours, GEO. HOUSTON. New-York, April 18, 1820. ? In Flandcs, wheat yields 20; n e 26, bat ley 26. and out s 4v>, f r one ? Wheat holds >nly the fif . rank in value in ih" harvests of Flanders. I rt I'ligiafid, wheat never y? Ids more, on an average, than 10 or 11 for one; and oa-s only beiween 8 an<l 9 for one. Io some highly meliora'ed farms in the county of Suffolk. Arthur Young n |*->rts a produce of 36 bushels of wheat, and 64 bushels ot bar 1 y Ut the ?rre a>>d that in 'he county of Kent, sod* of m.ddl-ng q ial.tv meliorated, yi?*!d [jer acre, 52 bushels of wheal, he ??iik- q an tit \ of burle\ . But in Flanders here aie soil# which yield much more ttian this ? namely, 72 busiets of wheat, 12o ot barley. 128 ot beans, and 72 of co!? seed. These, however, are extreme cases, which <to not < tf- ct the ge neral question of Comparative growths; while, hoWi ver, they shew that the melioration of land, in :i<u c untry, is calculated to increase its productiveness. I TO TIIE RAISERS OF BF.ES. Directions for the most effectual mode if producing Honey. Fence in lour acres of Ia..d, three of which plant wit 1 1 ap^:, pear, ,p? ach, plum, and black and wmte ma tare! cher ry t.ecs. Intersperce your orchard with some fir balsam, white and pitch wine, and hem.ock trees. The on a*. re in the centre, put in the best state of cul tivation, excepting the centre quarter for the houses, in which the Bees arc to hive. In the other three quarters of the acre set out all kinds of garden heibs and vege-.ables for seed; never touch them when the dew is on. From I I to 2 o'clock you may weed them, taking *ood cart that the glutinous suL siancc is not t niched, lest the seed bs thus destroyed. Surround this garden with gooseberry* currant and lilac hush es, and such otner p!a:.is op shrubbery asaie of an oily nature. Build your houses J4 leet long, 4 feet wide, 1 loot from the giouud, we ll supported. Erect the tables four stoi it s high, two feet apart; the root three feet wider on eacii side than the tables. Whitewash inside and out; board up the* north side tight against winter, and remove the sam.- in tue spring. Assist your bees by filliiuj in t .e uack of your h:vcs with ho'sc manurc, in the tali, to be rt moved again in tne spring. As inc weather bccoines warm, clean all out and whitewash the 1 roof inside and out. Also, the best mode fit making the hives ? Braid hus*s oi coin, three strands each, one inch dia meter; sew tnem together in the shape of a cone, tw<? leet dianv tar at hot; ?:i The hives you mean t<> ta' e up in the fail you may m ik ofhoauN. 2 feci dia meter at the bot'om, four inches nar rower at he top. A good fie id of red and uhiie clover, near your orc-iard, will assist the bees mucn. Set your . os's in the ground and let them be se ven feet high, with j?ood stiiT pole? on the top; place hooks undern a' n the poles upon which hangs tiie r.i\ es by tiie Staple in the top. Dress the n side of vour hives with fresh butter, and then with molasses, honey or tin syrup oi the *ugar maple. Place sm -11 boxes, or cups of honey, or molasses, or svirp, from the hives to your nouses; by w ich you may so dom -ticate them that they wi i breakfast and dine with you. always returning to the hive cforc supper. A garden well cultivated in the manned above mentioned with one hunt! red bushels of soot prop-.rly applied, may he made to produce two tons ot lv?n.y a year. I lie garden, well attend cl, will save the bees the loss of the diodes, and pro veiu the wars thai arh* between the young kings and quo 'is; complet ly furnish them with a suffix icncy of casing and bread, which they will lay tip for winter.
