Address to the Mar) land Agricultural Society
?t th?- semi-annual meeting <n June 1820, by
the President, R. Smith, Esq..
The address which I had the honor
of submitting to the sbciety at our last
meeting, inculcated the expediency of
a systematical rotation of crops. ? It, at
the same time, stated that no system
would suit universally; but that every
person ought to form one for himself
according to the soil, the size, and char
acter of his farm.
In this selection of the proper course,
it, among oilier thing*, ought to be kept
in view.
1st. Tliat grain crops ougkt not to
succecd each other; but that there oup;ht
to be an alternate succession of grain
and green crops.
2d. That a long course of rotation
is more favorable to the soil than a short
one, i. e. that a five year's rotation is bet
ter, as to the soil, than a three or a four
years system, and that a six or seven
years rotation is preferable to either.
plant finds, in the soil, its ap
projfl^e food. If, therefore, such plant
be cultivated, for a series of years in the
same field, its peculiar nutriment will,
eventually, be exhausted; and, of course,
I the plant will, in such case, perish with
; hunger. Hence results the necessity of
i some change in crops. Of this no prac
tical farmer entertains a doubt. The
only question then is, what ought to be
this chance? or, in technical language,
what ought to be the rotation of crops?
The ingredients of the soil, which
constitute the nourishment of all farina
ceous crops, are homogeneous; and con
sequently, wheal, following Indian rnm
. * ' o ;
can have but a diminished portion of
pabulous matter nccessary to its perfect
vegetation. ? The same principle is ap
plicable to leguminous ? to esculent root
and othi r green crops. And this prin
ciple ought to have a powes ful influence
in the selection ol w hit ever system of
rotation may be adt>p'?d.
The earth, l-y a certain prorcss in
nature, has providentially, the faculty
of regaining tl.ose nutritive ingredients,
which it may have part? d with in the
productions of a crop. This, however,
does not taV^ plarc >-Y?mediately. It
requires t.me. 1 o afif'nd th^n the re
quisite time for such icnc.vation, and to
allow the Held, in the interim, not to rest
but in some gt ten c: op, ought to be the
primary objcct in e\ cry system of rela
tion. With this view, the protracted
course of rotation and the alternate suc
cession of grain and of green crops may,
to a transient observer, appear, upon
good laud, to have been year after year,
abundant ind in quahty good; but up
on a more accurate examination and
comparison, thry would prove :o have
been, by a perceptible gradation, dimin
ished in quantity and Regenerated in
quality.
1 have known a square in a garden,
which had produced cabbages tor a se
ries of years, without the intervention
of any oil?cr ctep, so 'hat, in the enrl, it
became incapable, even with the aid of
manure, of producing cabbagcs fit for
use. And yet this same square yield
ed the following ye^r a good crop of
peas and beans. In the language ot the
gardener it had become tired of cabba
gcs. Hut in the language of truth, the
peculiar aliment of that vegetable had
been exhausted. Similar complaints
are made, as to clover, by some of our
farmers, and may be made, as to corn,
and wheat, by all whose course of rota
tion has not been sufficiently diversified,
and at the same time so short, as not to
1 allow to the soil the time necessary for
its regeneration.
msicaii ot wheat immediately follow
ing Indian mm, as is our general prac
tice, u is worthy of consideration, whe
ther there ought not to be an intermedi
ate crop, of Swedish Turnips, Mangel
Wortzcl and Potatoes. Besides the
immediately rt lief thereby a Horded to
the soil, these valuable articles of foinl
would enable the fatmcr to fatten an ad
ditional number of cattle, hogs and sheep
for sale, and ol cows (or the dairy. And
these stocks, o\cr ami above the profits
of their sale and products of the dairy,
would furnish a vast accumulation of
manure ? Such an accession of manure
would necessarily contribute to the aug
mentation of the succccding crop, and
to the permanent improvement oi the
larm.
From the increased quantity of ma
nure, procurable under the system of al
ternate white and green crops it may be
assumed as a fact, that the farm would,
in the. course of a few years, y ield at
least twice as much per acre as it i.onv
docs under the present impovcrs|ung
practice. In that event, instead of the
thirty acre?, for example, in corn, and
thirty in wheat, there would need be but
fifteen acres each. And as then two
fields of fifteen a< res each, would yield as
much as the two fields of the thii ty acres
each now tin, the. coin and wheat crops
would, of ourse, be not at all diminish*
ed, whilst the expense of their cultiva
tion would be reduced just in the pro
portion of 1 5 to 30. And this difference
of expense would form no inconsidera
ble part of the profits of the corn and
of the wheat. But this is not all. The
great amd essential advantage to be gain
ed is, that the rtmaiirng thirty acres
would under this system, be in green
crops, for the food of an additional num
ber of cattle and other stocks. * And it
will not escape observation, that all the
profits and advantages immediate and
remote, arising from the sale of these
c attle, hogs and shep, from the cows
of the -lairy, and from the great acces
sion of manure, cannot be .-onsidercJ
but a clear gain, resulting exclusively
from the proposed green crops, and at
tended, moreover, with no diminution
whatever of the products of giain.
It is strenuously maintained by many
practical farmers, thai the cultivation of
food for the use of cattle and other stocks
is ac profitable as the cultivation of food
lor the use of man. B * this as it may,
it is obvious to every understanding, and
it is confirmed by sorrowful experience,
that no farm can be profitably conducted
unless it furnishes an adequate supply
of food for as many neat cattle and other
stocks as may be sufficient to produce
all the manure necessary to its progres
sive improvement. When a farm does
not furnish the requisite food ior this
number of cattle and other stocks, there
will, from a deficiency of manure, be a
deterioration of the soil, and of course,
a gradual diminution of the produce,
and of the value of the estate. This an
nual tendency, from bad to worse, must
inevitably, in the natural course ol things,
terminate in the utter ruin of the pro
prietor. Of this dismal, melanchoily
result, our country, unhappily, exhibits
too many illustrations.
Swedish Turnips were sowed by me
last year, pari in d> ills on the !2th of
May, and part broadcast on the 12th of
June. Both crops, notwithstanding the
excessive heat, and the long continued
drought of the summer. were very 'abun
dant, and in quality excellent. Tnoae
sowed in May are ?steemcd the best.
The roots continued to be re narkably
acceptably to the cattle until the 1 5th
of May, when they were all consumed, j
The affording of green and milricious '
food in spring, when our eattlc in gen
eral, suffer much, is one of the charac
teristic recommendations of the Swed
ish Turnips, and is, of itself, sufficient to
induce its universal cultivation. So use
lul and profitable, in my estimation, is
this root, that I have just finished the
sowing, in drill, of ten acres more than 1
did last season. The sowing of this year,
as of the last, has been performed by a
machine, the coulter of which, 1 this
season had fixed in such manner as to
make the furrow so deep, as that the
seeds were deposited about an mch and
a half below the surface of the ground.
By such deep sowing, the plant when
it makes its appearance ?.bove ground
has so vigorous a root, that it soon at
tains the thud or rough leaf, and then
is beyond all danger from the ravages
ot the fiy. To the lore part of this Dnll
Machir.c. there is attached a very light
toller, which smooths and prepares the
ground for the coulter, ?nd to the back
part, there is a chain, which draws the
dirt into the furrow, so as to cover the
seed to the depth of about an inch and
a half. The rollers in returning, pres
ses to the seed, the earth that had been
drawn thereon by the chain, and at the
same time smooths and prepares for the
coulter the ground of the next furrow.
It may perhaps not be amiss to state,
that from these deeply sown seed, the
plants have come up in great profusion.
CI rout. d in good condition, as mine is,
has produced from six hundred to one
thousand bushels to the acre. The ac
tual produce of my crop shall be accu
rately ascertained next fall.
i lie Mangel \> urtzel I nave, l?y way
of experiment, sowed tins year in ma
nured drills on a small scale. Should
the plant agreeable to my expectations
prove to be productive and valuable, its
cuitivation by mc will, in that event, be
greatly extended. My present intention
is to cultivate, every year hereafter, the
whole of the corn field of the preceed
ing season, in Swedish Turnips, Man
gel Wurtzel and Potatoes. There ought
to be no dread of a redundancy. Every
fanner, great as well as small, will find
it immensely profitable to increase lus
stock of cattle, hogs and sheep, in pro
portion to his increased supply of green
food. The ultimate advantages of such
a course of husbandry, are incalculable.
Under this system there ought to be
on every farm, a barn with stables, for
horses atid for cows giving milk, and al
so open sheds for dry cattle. These
improvements ought to be made of di
mensions and in a style correspondent
to the size of the faim and to the cir
cumstances of the proprietor. Without
such accomodations, the crops cannot
he preserved and managed to the best
advantage; the various stocks on the
l*rm cannot b^ kept in go'?d condition;
and above at), iheie rar.no: he so large
an accumulation of '.table inunur*. Up
on this,ohjcct\!l important in evny view
of good husbandry, I have expended
different sums of money from five thous
and dollars to a ve?y few hundred.
I shall, this summer, build a I.arr;,
which as to cost and dimensions, would
suit the poorest class of fanners in oir
country. The total exptns< s, including
the materials to be purchased, will not,
according to the estimate (tf my carpen
ter, exceed $250. This bam will he 4 O
by 22 feet, with an open barrack, 22 by
14 feet attached to each end. It will
have a threshing floor of 20 by ^ 2 feet
in the clear, and 2 stables 20 by 12 feet
each. The whole building, barrar\s at
well as barn, will be under a good roof
of the best shingles. This statement,
apparently trivial, I have deemed it not
arniss to m^ke, merely because it go^a
to shew, that it is in the power of evefy
farmer to have a barn that would answe*
sll the purposes of good management;
A person capable, as every fanner is, of
performing by himself and his people
much of the woik, would necc-starily
find the cost to he greatly diminished.
It in our husbandry, there should be
adopted a methodical rotation, compris
ing an alternate Sc protr.?'cd succcbsion
?>f white and green crops; and if, on our
farms, there should be erected suitable
barns, stabies, sheds, ar.d barracks, then
will there, assuredly, be on cvety such
farm, a competent supply of food for as
many neat cattle and other stocks, as may
be necessary to produce all the manure
required for the best cultivation of such
farm; then will all such food be admin
istered to the best advantage, with the
utmost convenience and without any kind
of waste, and then will our stock of evet y
kind be carefully preserved and gradual
ly improved. In such a favorable state
of things, we shall have the consolation
of beholding the progressive improve
ment of the *oii, and of the stocks of our
country; an fin prove me nt which, in its
progress and in its result, cannot fait
ensure to us our fu?l share of all the hap
piness, which the good things of the
world can bestow.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
London, June 7.
Mr. Brouglum said, he was command
ed by her majesty to deliver a message
to the house, which, with permit, he
would read.
[Here followed the message from the
queen, which we have already publish
<d-l
'1 he order of the day for taking his
majesty's message now into conside: u
tion, was then read.
Lord Castlereagh was convinced that
the house would feel with him the diffi
culty uf the situation in which 'u- m as
placed. He was asked, last night. ?v:.:*t
the coutsc of proceeding w-j*, which his
majesty's ministers inunded to recntn
incnd; and here he must protest, in
limine , against the crow n or his majesty's
| government being represented as pv.rsc
I cutors or prosecutorB. In the message
' of his majesty, it appeared that ?i.e king
threw himself, as by the constitution lie
was justified in doing, on the great coun
cil of the nation, and to ask advice of
them in the difficult crisis in which the
countt y now stood, as to the course he
I was to pursue. At present he could not
say what course the ho'-se might re
commend; it must be after a seh'Ct bo
dy of the house had inquired into, and
investigated the nature of the fact* 'u!>
mitted to them, that they would be rna
bled to recommend the course to be
pursued, and the ulterior proceedings to
be adopted. The committee of sec re
cy, to which he had now to propose the
referring these papers, would have noth
ing to do with the guilt or innocence of
the person charged, except as in the na
ture of a grand jury, on whose report
would depend whether any future step
should be adopted or not ? (Hear, hear!)
And he would put it to the house, whe
ther, in case of ulterior proceedings
they would not be more free and unfet
tered in their defence of their illustrious
inistrcs3, than they could be if they were
now appointed members of that com
mittee of inquiry. He assured the hou*?
he claimed not front the house, either
for himself or his colleagues, any favour
in the inquiry which they would make
into the conduct adopted by the govern
ment, in the advice they had given his
majesty, in this most painful and ardu><us
transaction; but, at the same time, lis
must protest against the course adopted
by the honorable member I ?st night, <>f
condemning them unheard, and igno
rant as he was of the circumstance and
situation under which they hf?d advised
his majesty. An honorable and learned
gentleman, ^Mr. Brougham,) on that
occasion, however, strongly urged the
necessity of avoiding that investigation
which must prove so painful to the il
lustrious parties concerned; injur io'*#
