THE R DEY FOR WORN OUT LAND AND 'HE MEANS OF PRESERVIN CONTINUED FERTILITY. The following is from the pen c Dr. J.tanley Beckwith, that gifl ed Virginian who drank in inspire tion from that master of the scienc agriculturalist, Hon. Edmund Rui fin. It will richly repay the care fal perusal of every farmer, wh earnestly desires to m,a . "tw blades of grass grow where bat on gret before." The most remarkable feature i: the landscape which would attrac the attention of the traveler throng the State of Georgia (ana Georgi is in this respect a type of most c the Southern States) is the vas areea of waste and unproductiv lands-lands once rich and caps ble of large return to the farmei but now poor, worn-out and litei ally worthless, and lost to all re munerative production; and we ar told that these are the lands whic have been cultivated and by cultur worn out. What a -Uontradiction c terms ! To cultivate is to improv tofoster, to meliorate; and cultur4 also conveys the idea of improve ment, of making beti:er ; certainl; not of wasting destroying and des olating. Still the term is used and we all are now in the habit c speaking of our cultivated lands when, in truth biy following the rule of culture as commonly accepte< and acted on, the expected and ne( cessary result of the process~ ultimately to exhaust and rende waste. Now, the question which shoul< deeply interest the owners or culti vators of'these lands is, is this th natural and necessary result of til] ing the soil and reaping its fruits,oc has there been, and is there still some great misapprehension of th laws of nature-some great and vi tal error or inistake in the cultiva tion of these once valuable and prc *ductive lands-which so rapidl; and surely tend to their exhaustio: and waste ? It is this question w desire now jo discuss, and to try an point out the remedy which natur herself indicates for the removal ( the evil and the regeneration ( these old and worthless lands, an, the preservation of those not al ready rendered unproductive. es cept by the use of stimulating m~ nures. too costly to be otherwise than uncertamn as to the profit t he derived and, to say the least ( it, very doubtful as to whether th ultimate result of their use may nl( be forcibly to extract everythin and leave the soil irredeemabi worthless. And here science come to our aid. The chemist tells t that cotton, corn, wheat, tobacc< * etc., require for their nourishmex certain mineral substances, and ulj on analyzing the soil they poit out the amnount of these necessar ingredients possessed by our virgi soil, ar.d the loss of these particula2 which follow thbe continucus cult vation, fear after year, of one pai ticular crop. Hie will also sho us that the residue of one kind< crop prepares the land for anothe differing in its character; in word that rotation is not only th - law of nature but also the law < improvement. That it is the Ia of nature, facts constantly befor us abundantly prove. Cut dow a growth of pine and the oa springs up; cut down some oa and some other tree takes its plac< destroy one class of annual weed and anlother distinct variety take its place. That rotation is als the law of improvement as well a that of nature, has been ampl and satisfactorily shown by the re suit of judicious systems of rota tion as practised in England-an all other thickly settled and higl: ly productive c o u n t r i e s-an 'nany fold the amount received be- I fore this system was intruduced. t Again, it is as well known that e what is called the hoe crops, that is, these that require constant turning nd stirring of the soil, are partic- E alarly exhausting, from the neces sary exposure to the action of the parching rays of the sun, and the f wasting consequence of the soil be- t ing kept loose and disintegraded. - While the fallow crops, if -we may use the expression-for by it we mean such cro-s as shade the land during their growth and at a proper state of maturity are plow ed in to supply vegetable matter, which by its process of decay, de composes the soil, so as to render it capable of supplying the exhaust ing effects of previouscrops-while we say the fallow crops naturally tends to improve the land, and en- 1 able it to retain its vigor and pro- i ductiveness, it is not a necessity that these improving crops should not be also remunerative. The clo ver, in sections of the country where it may be grown, (and Gen tral and Northern Georgia are ad mirably adapted both by soil and climate for this plant), gives a large hay crop of the finest quality, and secures pasture land that will sus tain improved stock of any kind. e And in those sections where that plant will not grow the pea, in its I : varieties (the easiest of culture of all c productive lands), will not only sup ply good nourishing food,but return to the land enormous quantities of t vegetable matter, a large portion of 3 which has been derived from the at mosphere. Now, if in connection with these recuperating crops we give the lands an occasional appli cation of lime, especially the sul e phate of lime, commonly known as plaster of paris or gypsum, or pot- t e ash as found in ashes, leached or s f unleached, to aid in the chemical I preparation of food for the coming i cotton crop, then may we in a few < years find ourselves comparatively i jindependent of those expensive and ~ exhustngstimulating manures in" like various forms of guano and the lk,and the farmer reap the legiti -mate results of his labor with satis faction and increasing wealth, and transmit to his children the heri tage of. rich and productive lands, Syear by year becoming more and rmore valuab'e, and a farm yard teeming with well fed and sleeki stock and cattle, while the area of land in cultivation necessary to fill his erib with corn and his pocket ewith the sale of his numerous cot ton balei will be so comparatively r small that the number of laborers required to cultivate it will be re duced to the present moderate sup-1 -ply. -But it may be said, this looks very well on paper; how will it be ini practice? A pertinent ques tion we acknowledge, but we un ehesitatingly answer, ib has been fully tested in this country and emost successfully. In the State of Maryland and tide-water Vir fginia, the results of rotation of Icrops, marling, deep.plowing, and -a system of thorough draining, -has produced results far beyond -the sanguine hopes of those who1 first practised and recommended them. To that enlightened far mer and practical man Ed. Ruffin Iof Virginia, belongs alarge amount of the credit for introducing this tsystem in his native State, and his own farm. "Coggin's Point," on ! James river, up to the war was a . s monument to the success of his s labors. The arable portion of that1 farm, when it came into his hands, t was waste and ,vorn out land easily plowed by one horse plow t and yielding the annual crop of some 500 or 600 bushels of wheat, and hardly corn enough to feed ~he hands and stock-and yet, years before the war, it required from three to four strong horses or mules to turn the deep rich soil -andi from 6,000 to 8,000 bushels of wheat was no uncommon yield rof the samie area ofland; besides a the large crops of corn and oats e far above the necessary consump ftion of man and beast. His neigh bors gradually followed his exam epie, and with like results, (they used little or no guano in those days,) and the result was lands in Prince George county, Va., once too poor to eommand any price, with owners emigrating West and sSouth-soon became so valuable sthat few owners were willing to 0 part with them at any reasonable s price. Emigration was stopped and YI farms well sub-divided, and it is on1 - record that one sloop would annual -ly drop her anchor in "Paw Bay" i and take the accumulating crops -of all farms within reach ; whereas a it is a fact that more than one stur he laws of nature, and availing hemselves of the teachings of sci nee (which is but nature's hand aaid.) The system of rotation with Mr. tuffin was what was called the five 4 eld system, that is the arable land on he farm was divided into five fields of qual size, and the rotation was as >llows: first year, corn; second, wheat; hird, clover; fourth, wheat, and fifth, lover, so that there would be the same ,ear two fields of wheat-the money rop-one of corn, the feeding crop, nd two of clover the improving crop. 3esides this, the year of the hoe or orn crop, at the time of the last work Og, or as it was called the laying by >eas were sown broadcast shich took ossession of the laud-and upon the 'emoving of the corn crop, a heavy over of peavines were ready to be )lowed under to nourish the coming vheat crop. Some other system of rota ion might be better adapted to the cli nate and peculiar production of Geor ;ia, which could be determined by her udicious farmers-always bearing in nind the necessity of returning to the and more than is taken from it, in he form of decomposable vegetalbe nater-with the refuseof the animals ed on the farm, and such alkaline min ral substances as would aid in fixing he ammonia eliminated by these ani ual and vegetable manures. A cer ain amount ofguano of other ammoni .cal phosphate-bearing manures appli d to the cotton crop would not on y increase the productiveness of the rop, but supply the coming pea or lover crop with, sufficient nourish nent to insure a large growth, and hese would return to the land a large mount of nutritious matter-besides ;iving the shade and rest from over ulture, which would either ensure nother cotton crop or a large yield of urn, so that on the same land the gu- 3 Lo would be used only once in three ,ears, with the result of a large increas d yield of cotton, and at the same ime avQid the present disastrous rs ults of waste and exhaustion to the nd by returning more nutritious aatter than was removed. The conse tuene would be a steady increase lof roductive power in the land. In a rord be cultivated and improved rhile it fully compensated the laborer or his exertions-and all this by ob erving nature's laws-to rebel against rhich as certainly brings its penalty s the rebellion against God's moral iws necessarily entails a just retribu ion. We sum up as the remedy for the evil re commenced by pointing out as so 'ide-spread-rotation of crops, deep lowing, judicious draining, and a re urn to the land equal to the waste. BUCKWHEAT CAKES.-One quart f buckwheat, one tablespoonful- of east, salt and cold water. Put the ~alt in the yeast. Pour the yeast on he buckwheat, and add enough cold rater to make a thin batter.
