ISIlCtLTl'Eil. IMPROVEMENT OF POOR SANDY LAND. REPLIFS. To a nrrtfondtnt at Little Rod, Anue Co., Tenn We can only judge of the necessities and wants of your mil, from the data yott have lerntshrd us. Guided by that, we shall hon estly endesvor to tell vou how, according lo our poor judgment, ynu should uvuil yourself of tht resources at lisud, tu improve the con dition of your land. You represent it as a deep triable randy il, and not retentive of moisture, sbnui.diog in l superabundance of the oxide r f iron, and -thai H hat been skinned and skimmtd. in the aaade if cufure, heretofore pursued, fur a long erics of years. In peakiug of your resourses for manuring vou say that lime is abundant, and plaster can be obtained at a fair price. In view nl the aandy nature uf your land, and its want of ret i powers, we think the first tiling ynu should attempt, would be the improvement of its tef lure, so as to improve its capacity for retaiii inf moisture as w ell as malum-. If the ub sort he clay, and withiu the resell of the plough, which is sometimes, nay, often, the case, you may alter the texture of votir soil, by turning ap 8 inches of the -etat subsoil- smf cross ploughing and borrowing until you intimately anil the clay with Ihe surface aud thus add In its tenacity. This dons, ymi sftnatd five ft a good dressing of enriching manure, plough that in about 8 inches deep, and gie to the land t top dressing of lime say at the r ue SO bushels to the acre. fclf the subsoil is not clay, then your next best plan would be lo make a compost of, say at the rate, per acre, of DO bushels of limr, to 000 or 800 bushels of clay ; form the compost in alternate lawyers of clay and linn-, let it lay in bulk some weeks, then mix it well together, by carefully breaking it down and let it lie in bulk until you are ready to use the compost. You aak us : "Would not a compost formed of stable ma nure, leached n htM, and plaster, make a good manure lor a coin crop for my land!" and yon further remark : "From my small amount of stock I lta been husbanding my minure, occasi mally throwing into my heaps, the scraping from my lots, with I fie addition of some leaves and elraw'Vaud you further- ask.. "How would it do to mix my leat bed ashes with my manure now, and let it remain in heaps until ihe midd'e of .Vlarrli. with the ; d dilion of a small quantity of plaster as I make my heaps : would il not make a good com post for manuring in the hill?', We answer first, "Stable manure, serap- 1 rs of voitr hitis leave and straw, leaf hid ashes aid plasttrV if you have enough of these substances, will make a good manure for a corn, or any other crop its value would be increased on your soil, by the addition nl a few "bushels of salt. In forming your compost, iter every layer of the atable manure, leaves, etraw, and scrapings of your lot, stiew there on your ashes, salt, and plaster, say on even 60 double horse loads of the rough materials, strew 10 or 80 bushels of. as) les, J VI1.bu,s!(tei, .4 piaster, anil i bushel ol salt. Alter tlie-e nave laid in bulk twif 'weeks, break down to thoroughly nn (t e n together, ar.u l.-aie ihem in bulk uuiil you waul to use litem in the middle of March, To this eompiu.1, il ynu would apply the urine and soap-suds made daily about your house, by making a hole in different parts of the hrap, pouring these liquids ill and covering up the hole, its virtue would be greatly increased. As you say you only intend to manure your corn in the hill, aud do not contemplate b "any earing the field, we have made our recom mendation lo conform to your cinuiiiaianers, to the requirements of your corn crop, and to the materials you have at hand. Bui we are forced, by out sense of candor, to ay, thai we look upon all topical manuring, excep when used as sit auxiliary aid, as faulty. No manuring leas than covering the e Hire surface of the soil, is tn be recommended. Manuring in the hill, answers very well to force the corn plant in its infancy hut, if (he surrounding oil be not fertile or l a, e not the . dements of vegetable food in it -hill manuring, will pot secure a good crop of corn, became, in a few weeks the roots uf the corn will h a e pushed forward their growth, so as lo be bo jrond the possibility of iheir ile iving any hen 61 from the manure in the hill the moi.ths through which the corn plant takes in its food, are at llie extreme poi;its of ihe roots, ami, therefore, Jhe plant has. of nei e i y, lo rely upon the toil around, it fur its f ed, and it fd lows, as a natural consequence, if there be no food therein, it can receive nnne. But w will now spdk of die compute hmt and clni that we have recommended you to Biake. After ploughing up your laud about 8 inches deep, harrow your ground, then haul on your eoinposi, spread it evenly over your land, then harrow, cross harrow, and roll, anil then lay off your, ground, plant your corn, (iving to each hill s shovelful! ol your epinpost- cultivate your corn with the cultivator and hoe, and if (lie season be .good one, you nny make tolerable fair crop ,of coin. But against next year, you should train point, and collect together such t body of rough materials, as would, together with your stable and barn-yard manures, enable yoti to give to each sere of your land twenty double horse-cart load. 1 It takes time to roi led the proper material, as marsh mud, river ;aiud, the mpMgs, of head .land, --dtohea yards weeds, the washings of the toad, leaves, pine shatters, and woods-mould, we say il Ukes time to collect these substances, but the fisneof a farmer as-crorTnorer profitably employed. As in your case, as you tell us, yottnave no advantages of procuring foreign manure," it is the only profitable way lo im prove your soil in which you can bring it to . fondition to ensure you pleasure end profit in Us eulliralion.. If jou caunot brusdeaat ihs whole of a field, do a part, and the product of ,of eur reeommeDdsiioo. as well as b its in. creased yield, enable yon to improve the other - psrt. ',- - If y no could add bant-tarlk, or guano, to your som post neaps, their ferliliiing properties f.'?r siw you may put m them da not omit piaster, and salt, and the urine and soap-iuds of yosr estahlihment. I he "welt rotted chip earth, and scrapings of a coal yard," of which you speak, we would remaik, that, if the latter be fine, would f rm excellent manure tn be emmted with stable manure, ashes, plaster and salt, and in deed, with any of the materials we have nam ed ahote. As you say you have a "good deal" of these materials, exert yourself, ind increase the mass, so as to give lo your ernn-rielcl a good brtuilcast drting, IfVon do so, vonr increase of crop will more than repay you lor your trouble and expenditure. Thnniiurh manuring, anil deep ploughing, is the only p'nn to improve the soil. After you have liru'il, clay ed, and nisnered your land, get one It unh or one-fifth of it in clover an I grans, and thus prepare a supply of mould for your soil that will add to its powers of reient o'i, and absorption, snd increase its p'0 lurtive ca pacity. tmtr.
