MANAGEMENT OF A FARMC:
ii To the Editor of the American Farmer.
,Dear Sir, I 3
V I should have made my : acknow
ledgments for your late friendly let
ter, but fur a lame hand : which de
prived me of the use of my pen. I
feel sensible that every aid should be
rendered by the agricultural part of
the, community, in not only dessemi
nating your truly useful paper, but
also by furnishing remarks which
may have a ' tendencv to throw light
on the subject. ! In" complying with
your request, to give a statement of
the product of the farm 1 reside on,
I am induced, by a desire to gratify
i you, and with a hope, that others
f may be led to offer suggestions and
f experiments more useful ; confident,
! that with proper management and
more personal i attention, , my own
may be greatly surpassed. ,
The farm contains, by actual mea
surment, two hundred and sixty
acres, including wood-land, roads,
homestead and waste ground. Ev
ery field and lot on the farm is ac
curately surveyed, which I deem
absolutelv 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 ex
perience, been able to exceed thirty
! bushels per acre, from a field ot 3G
acres, though my neighbours have
in some ins :ances given me as high
as 40. I am led therefore, to be-
of mv clover fields for soilinor. This
mode I always highly approved,
though I :ould not prevail on my-
seit to make the experiment, vve
farmers, my dear sir, are too iftuch
wedded to old established systems,
and frt QUentty pursue them in di-
rect opposition to our oetter juag-
ment. So far, my trial leads me to
rejoice at the change, and I am ful
ly convincL that one oi my neias
of 27 acres, well set with clover,
wiil soil .19 head of steers, afford
mv 2 acres for Ruta Baga, 1 acre
for Potatoes, and leave me 8 or 10
acres of clover, to cut for hay.
Such is my present impression
Drenarinc: mv corn oround, it is well
ploughed in the fall and harrowed
the same wav We nloutrhed it.' .In
, . : j - i u A .
he month of March or April iol
lowing, all the manure I collect on
my farm, is put on my corn ground,
the manure is ploughed under as
fast as carried out,! and the ground
then harrowed, after which it is
laid off for planting, by single fur
row 4 feet each way. Mv time of
planting is between 1st and 12th of
ay. Scrsqon as. the corn is up,
I run a fallow harrow over the rows
)f corii, and my hands with small
rakes dress the hills of corn. I then
sprinkle a teaspoonful of plaster on
each hill ; the plough is then used,
throwing the furrow from ther corn,
my rakes still employ to uncover
'the corn, and our next process is to
return the furrow. to the corn, 'and
nloiio-h out the middle?. When the
I : O .
corn is about knee high we I add
half bushel oBpjaster to the acre,
in troad , cast ; ;a double ; shovel
plough, or a small harrow will tlien
be sufiicient to keep the ground m
order, I pay very great attention
to my farm yard, which'is dug out
sloping trom the outter edges to tne
centre, and forms a basin of about
4 feet deep in the centre, which re
tains the water. In taking out my ma
nure, my hands'ibegi.i on oneside of
the farm yard, .with grubbing hoes
made very sharpi &. about six. inches
wide, the manure is cut through to the
bottom ; the corn stalks, &c. thus cut
(are 6 or 8 inches in length) are ea
sily managed, and without difficulty
turned under ,bv the oloueh. We
also by this mode avoid exposing
too large a surface of the ihanure,
the bad effects of which is obvious
to every farmer in the smallest de
cree conversant with the subject.-
- , .... - ' !.
In cutting the;marjure and loading
the waercons. the "collection of wa
ter from the manure is sometimes
so great, as to render it necessary
for my handa to use planks to ;stand
on, in order to keep themselves dry.
The manure thus completely satura
ted, with the water dripping from
the waggons, when loaded, as in a
fine state to plough under. So soon
as my farm yard is cleared of ma
nure, in the spring of the year I com?,
rnence makincr mv croD of manure,
lor tne next year, by drawing into
tne y ard, the corn stalks left the pre
ceeding winter ; my cattle are still
kept in the yard, where they remain
until the middle of May, and are
fed on the balance of wheat straw,
