MANAGEMENT OF A FARM.
m
To tb? Editor of the American Farmer.
9 BAM BIN,
1 should hare made my acknowledg
ments for four late friendly letter, but
for a lame hand which deprived me of
the use of my pen. I feel sensible that
every aid should be rendered by the ag
ricultural part of the community, in not
only disseminating your truly useful
paper, but also by furnishing remarks
which may have a tendeocy to ihtow
light on the subject. In complying witn
your request, to give a statement ol the
product of the farm I reside on, I am
indured, by a desire to gratify you, and
with a hope, that ether* stay be led to
offer suggestions and experiments more
useful; confident, that with proper man
agement and more personal aitentiun,
my own may be greatly surpassed.
The farm contains, by actual mea
surement, two hundred and sixty acres,
including wood -J and, roads, homestead
and waste ground. Every field and lot
on the farm is accurately surveyed,
which I deem absolutely necessary, for
here suffer me to remark, that though I
have often heard of fields producing 40
or 50 bushels of wheat to the acre, I
have never, from twenty year's expe
rience, been able to exceed thirty bu
shels per acre, frqftrt a field of 36 acres,
though my neiglAors have in some in
stances given me as high ns 40. I am
led therefore, to believe, that those who
are particular in surveying their fields,
and ascertaining accurately the number
of bushels per acre, have never, from a
field of 40 acres, made 33 bos tots per
acre. The cleared land on my farm, is
divided a^d cultivated in die following
tnannei:? I have 7 fields of J 3 acnes
each, on paper, (the fences -will take
off a little,) and 5 lots of different sizes,
from 1 1-2 to 7 acres, the S lots together
making 2 Uteres, including the grounds
about my fojnse. Two of the above fields
are cultivated annually, in wheat, clover
hay, one field in corn, one half of a fie;d
in rye, and one half in oets, this takes 4
of the 7 fields, and leaves me 3 fields in
clover fa r pasture. My wood land is in
closed separately, which makes a fourth
" pasture Jfefci ba;veeti? 6 lo'.s
furnish my. hay. Oats 'and rye always
succeed corn, and my fields of *mall
grain are sown in clover every spring.
Thb has been my general plan for 7 or"
8 years. I have the present year com
menced a different course, by keeping
up one of my clover fields lor soiling.
Tbi? mode I always highly approved,
though I could not prevail on myself to
make the experiment. We farmers, my
dear sir, arc too much wedded to old
established systems, and frequently pur
sue them in direct bpponition to our
better judgment. So far, my trial leads
me to rejoice at the change, and I am
fully convinced, tha't one of ray fields ot
27 acres, well set with clover, Will soil
19 head of steers, afford me 2 acres for
ruta haft a, ! acre for potatoes, aud leave
me 8 or 10 acres of clover, to cut for
hay. ? Such is my present impressioft
in preparing m^cortx ground, it is well
ploughed in the fall and harrowatl tbe
same way wr ploughed it. In the month
of March or April following, alt the ma
nure I collect on mjr farm, is put on my
99m ground, the manure is ploughed
under as fast as carricd out, and the
ground then harrowed, after which it Is
laid ofF for planting, by single furrow,
4 feet each way. My time of planting is
between 1st and 12th of May. Sosixin
at the corn is up, I run a fallow harrow
over the rows of corn, and my hands
with small rakes dress the hills of com.
I then sprinkle a tcaspoonful of plaster
on each hill; the plough is then used*
throwing the furrow from the corn, my
rakes I btill employ to uncover the rorn,
and our next process is to return the
furrow to the corn and plough out the
middles. When the corn is about knee
high we add a half bushel of plaster to
the acre, in broad cast; a double ihovel
plough, or a small harrow will then be
sufficient to keep the ground in order.
I pay very great attention to iny farm
yard, which is dugout sloping from the
outer edges to the centre, and forms a
basin of about 4 feet deep in the centre,
which retains the water. In taking out
my manure, my hands begin on one side
of the farm yard, with grubbing hoes
made very sharp, and about six inches
wide, the manure is cut through to the
bottom; the corn stalks, he. thus cut
(are A or 8 inches in length) are easily
managed, and without difficulty turned
under by the plough. We also by this
mode avoid exposing too large a surface
of the manure, the bad effects of which
is obvious to every farmer in the smal
lest degree conversant with the subject.
?In cutting the manure and loading
Ihe waggons, the collection of water
from the manure is sometimes so great,
as to render it necessary lor my hands
to use planks to stand on, in order to
keep themselves dry. The iwapurt thus
completely saturated, with the water
dripping from the waggons, when load
ed, is in a fine state to plough under.
So soon as n?y farm yard is cleared of
manure, in the spring of the year I com
mence making my crop of manure for
the next year, by drawing into the yard,
the corn sulks left the preceding win
ter; my cattle are still kept in the yard,
where they remain until the middle of
May, and arc fed on the balance of
wheat straw, which is carefully pre
served for them, and thus lay a good
foundation against the month of Novem
ber fol. owing, at which period my &tocl&
cattle (purchased durieg the munth of
September and October) are brought
into the farm yard, to remain until
spring; at the same time, f begin to draw
in my corn stalks, on which and my
wheat straw, live cattle are supported
during the winter. By this mode, 1 take
out wrery spring from my farm yard,
from 250 to 300 large wagon loads at"
good manure, in a nicc state for my com
ground. This dressing each field re
ceives ooce in 7 years, wl?;ch wufi plas
ter and clover I find sufficient. Bu if
soiling wul answer my present expecta
tions, nay quality of manure will be
greatly increased, as my cattle are still
in my farm yard, never having been out
(rxcept to wqlkr,) since last fall, nor
will they leave h, until ready for the
butcher, which from present appear
ances, they will be by *h*?rst or Au
gust. M> farm yard is lotfftet long, by
66 feet wide, and enclosed en three
sides, generally wi'h a shed.
The product of the above9 farm op

MEETING OF THE CORTES,
* In Muriel. July 9, 1820.
The extraordinary Gazette of Ma
drid, givee an interesting account of toe
proceedings of this memorable epoch in
the establishment of the right* of a great
nation. The king proceeded to the hail
of the cortes at ten in the morning, ac
companied by the queen fcnd the in
fantas. They were received by two
grand deputations of the national repre
sentative*. Wlien hit majesty entered,
ail the members stood up, as weQ as tbe
diplomatic corps in the tribune on the
right of the throne* Th^ councillors of
state, generals, and magistrates occu
pied the other tribunes; the immense
multitude which filled the galleries,
burst fiwth into loud acclamations and
viva*! The king took his seat on a
magnificent throne, on tne sides of which
were displayed the royal insignia. As
soon as the king had seated himself, the
queen, the infantas, the president of the
cortes, and all the deputies, also sat
down. After a short pause, the presi
dent rose, and with the secretaries pro
ceeded to receive the king's oath, wliich
was taken in the manner prescribe*', by
the c??utution.? The president, Don
"John Kspiga, archbishop elect of Se
ville, then addressed the king, who im
mediately afterwards read the following
speech:
Speech of the king nf Spain to the
Cartes.
"Gentlemen Deputies*
" At length has arrived the day, the
object of my ardent wishes, on which I
see myself surrounded by the repre
sentatives of the heroic and generous
Spanish nationf and in winch a solemn
oath has completely identified my inter
ests and those of my family, with the in
terests of my people.
When excess of evils produced tho
clear manifestation of the voice of the
nation, formerly obscured by lamentable
circumstances which ought to be erased
from our memories, I immediately de
termined to embrace the desired system*
and to take the oath to the political
constitution of the monarch*, sanctioned
by the general and extraordinary cones
in the fear I ? 1 9. Then did the crown,
as well as the nation, receive h? legiti
mate rights; my resolution being no lest
spontaneous and free than conformable
to my own interests and those of thn
Spanish people, whose happiness haa
?cm coaaed to he the nhjact of my wm*
