The Editor of the South Carolina Farmer and Planter says: “It has just come to thii point—we must go down hill, or go West—we can’t stayf here any longer, and live by planting without itn- proveujent.” Let that truth be treasured by every fanner who reads this paragraph. It is a fact for farmers, and one that must not be ignored. It is equally true in all the Southern or cotton-growing States as it is in South Carolina, It is just as true in corn and wheat-growing Virginia, Mary land, Delaware, Pennsylvania, aud New Jersey. And it is full of truth as applied to New i ork and all the New England States. The farmers “can’t stay there any longer without improve ment.” That is, they cannot stay without seeing their land deteriorate, year by year, as it truly has ever since it was denuded ot its natural forest growth. Is it necessary? Cannot land be culti^ . ,vated an indetinite number o|g|||||k^d yield good crops to the cultivator \vn|^^^^^B|rution? This is the greatest, the most ii^^^H^question that an American farmer can put to nmiseil'or his neighbor. We do not believe in the necessity of deterioration of laud irom cultivation. The pre ventive is deep disintegration, underdraining, ro tation of crops, including one grown especially fur manure, and restoring all the manurial portions of the crop to the soil, principally in the lorui of surface manuring, and tithing the products sold off of the farm to buy foreign fertilizers. Then will the farm support in comfort forever the family of its possetsor, and give him an annual incomc to lay up, or lay out in improvements tending to beautify and«dd to its value, while they minister to the enjoyments of the occupants; and when they grow too nutuerous for the area there will be a surplus in store to enable the excess in the popu lation “to go West.” At present the excess is crowded out of the paternal home, because to stay is to stay and starve—to starve becau.si; the fer tility of that home has deteriorated, and in its pre.sent condition is insufficient to support as large a population as it did “when the land was new.” ^rhy should it ever grow old? Simply because this is the truth, as we find it in The llural New i'orker: “I aflBrm that not one acre iii ten of our culti vated farms gets a single load of luauurc of any kind (except the occasional droppings of cattle that are pastured upon it) as often as one year in ten. If the devastating hordes—called ‘farmers’ in modern times—had not had a fertile ‘West’ to overrun and make desolate, there would have been a famine in this land before now that all the ‘corn in Hgypt’ could not repair. It is my solenni conviction that there is not gold enough in Christendom and Pagandom combined to r_s- tore the soil of North America to it.s origiual fertility.’ In humanity’s name, 1 say to farmers, stop and consider. Take one acre of poor land and make it rich by the cheapest process you can devise, and tell me what it costs you! Buy guano at fiity dollars a ton, ashe.s at twelve cents a bushel, lime at eighteen cents, charcoal at tight cents, (probably the cheapest of all,) bone* at what they cost you, good barn-yard manure at fifty cents a load, and draw it; fertilize a poor acre, and make it good lor thirty bu&hels of wheat, and tell me the cost. You will wish you had more money by the time you have fertiiiztsu a hundred acres. 1 tell you, gentlemen, the an nual depreciation of your grain-farms in particu lar is a frightful and appalling circumstancc. It is ea.«icr to stop the mischief than to repair it. “None of the most common prescriptions for restoring fertility will answer the purpose which are based upon ‘rest and rotation,’ such as is un derstood generally by Southern planters. For instance, one says to another,‘That field of cotton looks badly, Squire C.' ‘Yes; I’ve run it in.cot ton a little too long. Fact is, I haven’t land enough open for my force; must clear more, so that 1 can seed down and rest some.’ 'Seed down and rest'—the sU^reotype phraiie of the country! And what is seeding down and rest? Taking a crop of wheat or oats from a soil already exhausted by bad culture, then throwing down the fence, and turning every living thing in the neigh borhood upon it to eat it off and tramp it over un til planting time comes round again. Aud this is called seeding and rest. There never was a greater fallacy than this notion many people have, of resting land by growing grain crops upon it. Under such a system the lands must deteriorate and production decline. Something else is want ed; more manure and better management. It is time people should begin to think a little more seriously about what they owe to their mother earth.” I“\ve Persons Hunifd to Dritfii on thr Pmlries —The Story County (Iowa) Advoca e of the 1st inst. states that Daniel Swearengcn, with his wife and four children, recently from Tuscarawas County, (Ohio,) while on their way from Nevada to their farm near Fort Dodge, were overtaken by fire on the prairie. It says; “Before any measures could be taken for pro tection, the wagon cover was in flames. In a mo ment the bedding and other inflammable material in the wagon was on fire, arid before Mr. S. could make his way out of the wagon through the flames, his clothing was on fire. I ntortunately a.s he fell out of the wagon, he wa.s kicked by otie of the horses, and for a time .scunnod beyond ability to help the others. He revived in time to see his wife fall from the wagon, burned to death, and to drag from the flames one of his children, alrtrady dead. Ilis own clothing was burtied et\tirely from his body, and he is severely burned, espe cially in the head, face and hands. He is at pre sent sightless, but hopes are entertained of hl» recovery, and that his eye sight is t»ot destroyed. Twoof thechildren were liu rally butted up in the. wagon. Of one, nothing could be found but the skull; the other a charred mas.s, in whffe^’ was no trace of humanity lelt. One of tbe hor.se.s was biir«^d to deatl harness; the other bucceeded in but is baily burned.” ijouis ynpoleon.—The vast expense that Loui^ -J 'vf, Napoleon is [>utting England to, in order that^ h(t‘r means ot defcnce may kee^/ pace with the increa.se of French capacities"for ••ggression, niay ultimately wear out the .snfiering paticno# of the British public.
