It is par ticularly recommended as a tonic, to persons re covering from f ever or other disesses, a few drops imparting to the stomach a glow and vigor equal to a wine-glassful! of brandy or other sti mulant, without any of the debilitating effects which are aure to follow the use of liquor of any kind; and it is therefore especially serviceable to children and females. To the aged it will prove a great comfort ; the dyspeptic, and those who are predisposed lo gout or rheumatic affections, it give great relief; and to the inebriate who wishes to reform, but whose stomach is constantly craving the noxious liquor, il is invaluable giving tone to the digestive organs, and strength to resist temptation ; and is consequently a great agent in the cause of lemwrance. .

But the whole tenor of A meriraa husbandry from the first aeiilrujenl of the country, haa been directly the contrary, or, little labor on much land. And lb ia ia the eauM of the deterioration of our farm and crop., of ihe.exhausiion of the element of fertility in ilia one, ne cessary to the production 4r the ether. It r: quire no great amount of labor or tore of knowledge, lo grow a crop at cost equil or exceeding it value, and leaving the Und poorer than before but it doe require both work and wisdom to pro1 duce one which shall bring profit to the fanner and prepare the laud for rreatrr productiveneia in future. An? one who can follow the. plow and arguer the aeed ean do the former, but capital, experi ence and enetgy are required to accomplish the latter. Thorough farming beatowa much labor -wisely directed and akilfuliy managed labor upon every acre it cultivate. Il drain the land, if ii needs it, o that il may be woiked in ihe proper eaon, and no stagnant water ever tand lo chill and blight all healthy vegetation. Il deepen and pulverize the aoil, o that every crop may freely cend down it root for trfoii tuie and tutenanre ; and it adtla every needful manurial element, that their growth may be vigorou and rapid .It a u tier no weeds to rob the toil of it richea and the plant of it proper and rightful nutiiment; and give the crop ihe nee'Uu! care and attention through all the tagea of ita growth, from the deposit of the aeed to the garnering of the product. MTo cultivate Una land well, aayt a rontempOiafyT ant! to ftrrreate ita produc tive power, ia a prime object with a good farmer. To do this, it is absolutely ei eniial that he employ the tequisite a mount of labor. This seams to be a sell- evident proposition, and yet it is more generally disregarded in American htis bandry, than any othrr principle of aound erononiy. Because we frequently hwril said thai labor runt away with the profits of farming, our farmer lay il down as a maxim to gel along with as Iiiue labor as possible. The consequence is, they at tempt to do with lea than they ought. They are thus out of pritket by lot of time, loss of season, and deterioration of Und and crop, and in other waya ofwhich a a aa a if tney naruiy uream. i nere ia many a farm, of broad and fertile acres, furnished with suitable building and fences, well stocked and provided with all needful ap pliances to make il productive, the own er of which undertakes lu carry it on with half the force adequate lo ita cultivation, la il to be wondered al thai farming un der such circumstances is decried as un printable? that ihe interest on tit in vestment, the taxes, (he repair of build ings and tools, and other incidental ex penses, eat up ihe profits, when these pro fits are not hall what lliey might, by the employment of more labor, easily be made to be !." Labor is the root and spring of all profit." Bui welNdirected, earned, tho rough work i required lo produce large results and full lemuneration for such cut lav of toil and rare..,'. The farmer who gives the cultivation which is needed on five acres, to fifteen or twenty, does no part of his work well, and must fail of eettinir a profitable crop. Five acres of corn producing- four hundred bushels an nually, is'far better for the farmer and the rountry, even if. the same expense oe in rurred in its production, than fifteen seres skimmed over lo yield the same amount Half a dozen choice, thrifty and produc tive fruit trees are worth more than 'one hundred poor ones, and while the latter aeem only a rutse lo the owner, the for - a roer will prove a souicenf continual and increasing profit. - The best stock -cat, tie, horses, sheep, and swineare the cheapest in the end, and bring far richer returns than the low priced ajid little-worth varieties. in the work of the survey after the pre sent pecuniar provision t are exhaust ed, and for wVtch I have no expects lion eor wish to be compensated. The making ap of the fiaal report, and col lecting the odda and enda of the work, will consume at leaat tix months, after which the work will be regarded at fi nished. Thit it not a new view,batone which I took of the subject when I tint engaged in the work. 1 hope now to ta that by the- time your administration or term of office ha expired the survey will be essentially finished to far at outdoor wot k is concerned. - l Jt haa been my desire to promote the interests of the State in tome war or other. And it haa appeared to me lhat a course and plan which would bring to the State capital, was the plan by which its interettt and the interest! of it citizens would be best promoted. It it, however, unnecessary that I should dwell upon thit subject. I will only add that I believe that nearly a million of dollars will be added to the work ing capital in the mining districts, and that thit capital will, by no meant, be tunk or lost, and I also full believe that thit interettt will be pi seed very common throughout the State. They are ia thit condition front the great abundance of the proto-fulphate of iron which is disseminated throe gb the rocks from which the toil ia deriv ed.
