Mr. Editor. Suffer me tn orcupy the attention of thai portion of your re?dcrs, who*e oc caput ion it is, to cultivate the soil, while 1 submit to their consideration a few ob servations on the necessity of adopting the most improved xystem of husband ry. Every person of the least observa tion, nay disco*?T, that our iarmeis peneraliy are not sufficiently impressed with the great importance of improving their soil, arid of uting mere effectual means of success in the art. There arc ?cmc who, though i?o? sufficiently sensi ble of the great improvement of which the ait i? susceptible, admit that it is pos*iMe lor the so.l to be benefitted by piop i management; yet they never once make use of tfie means, and su.l go on in the ajme practical w.?y in which their ancestors walked, li icr lainly is matter of surprise, that to ma ny, who ure called good laruicra in then own way, and who possess every fa rulty requisite to constitute ^ood agr|. culrurists. should still persist in tbeir old rou'iue oi pra tice, wnen theic air so many powerlui inducement* and so mat y advantages for gaining instruction in thia all .mportant an. A slight view cl (he progress ol agriculture, in our inotttar country, and ever, in our own uouuitVi ?1 ould be a sufficient uiuuce ment (or a reformation in our pre tent system of cultivation. When we look hack and tiaca ti.a aicps of the ait among the English, we see that it oftrn remained stationary for a considerable time, and frequently dwindled in the h?nds of tho^e miserable agri:ulturi?it. If pi s*ib!e, the art w is at a lower ebb than it is. or ever has been, in some ?actions of this state, yet ?c see to ? hat i dep re of pe.tfettian husbandry has arrived beyond the Atlantic* iu the course o( the last fifty or hundre J yejrs, hy the united efforts ol men, who, hy heir p..,.o*ophy and practice, have completely developed the principles of litt art, j i.J i.s\e brought them uiihin the comprehension ol those to whom they writ befott <pjite unintelligible. S.iicc the establishment ol the l,i lioaid of Agriculture, husbandry wean ? different aspect. It was before an oc cupation which lather led to pover ty: now it affords abundant means cl subsistence, ai.d crowns the inciutrious farmer with a pl*ntifi.l harvest I.?t us also consider what the condi. ion r?f agri culturo was but a few )ear*? ii^o in some of the sister states, wheit it is now so flourishing, and w e will frtd that the same destructive round of opera tions was pursued, the same erroneous opinions entertained, as to the correct mode of cultivation, which were prac ticcd and handed down by the prei cding generations. All the uiyvaric* ol tbc ari, wet? to tc leamt by clo?r|y foilow iiig the plow's tail, and fnj?.i^ii,g hi other nu ni.il operations. It was consi den <! asentirel* simple in all i?s bta:>r h rs so much so as not to require ony study or gc net al pri '.ciple*, w iiic h w ould enable ?he fanner to change his plate di ope.atioa, provided new combinations r>f contingenres should occur. Hot as 1 toon as u few individ'ials. who availed ihems?^#es of the expei imrnt* and t h ? ufoi tnaffon con'ained in ? njjiish books ^ aj;i kulture infused a spirit of etiquiiy ( md reformation into the bre.-.st of ihose iround them, improvement* began to , s.o\e .ipace Socieiirs \fere soon form | Ml for promoting the interest of the art; rxpeiiments weie made, which proved , jeyond u doubt that much might be ef- ( Fected by a more judicious and rational < mode of cultivation. It is unnecessary I for mo to notice fully the Rteat encour- * igement which some states in the uni I jn have given to the cause of agiicul- 1 * iture; for a better idea may be ob ained from various publications. Attbough the art has not yet obtained the highest ? degree of perlection possible, yet it is making rapid advances. Then should not every farmer who is the least con cerned for this noble cause, be induced Iioiii a view of the improvements which have been made within so short a peri od, and from the facility of acquiring agricultural information, to abandon his present land killing system, and adopt one which will restore fertility to U c soil, and render it productive. The pursuit of husbandry, fium i.s nature, is calculated to excite, in tho a engaged in it, a spirit of emulation, and a uf^irc to excel in its pursuits, livery tai titer should be so much imeres <d in his occupation, as to strive to soipass (?is neighbor in J.he skilful management of hin firm, and in- the luxuriance :md abundance of his harvest. The pre valence of surh a spirit o? ctr.ulatio.i v juld be productive of m>.c!i gooJj Mjid our farmen would br i^d.iced, from i!.e consideration which would present themselves, to alter their c uv>e.
