The sysiym formerly and properly, pursued, of fallowing Isimw for a considerable length of lime, is exceptionable and cannot bo uppio. ved as a rule. The atmostphero should bo at all times taxed to' the utmost, and if not by regular crops, at least the ground should lie occupied by indigenous weeds intended ipr manure: frequently they serve our purpose belter titan any thing else, be aides getting rid of them as pests. What is abtrnted from the air, is a positive gain and rtjollqwa. of course, that to the extent of adding artificial manures, we should tax the ground, if Wd' expect in'er est riri tlie Tnvpstinent olTso inuelF capital in the shape of man. ires.
