From the Eastern Farmer. Too MAuch Lnd.-It is an undoubted truth, that one of the primary influence, that retard the progress of agriculture. and the productiveness uf the labors of agricul turists in out State is, the ownership ant itmproi.emet (if that can be called im pruveunut w hich pushes a soil to less thar halt ut its capacity) uttoo much land. We ar told that the farm of the celebrated Ro man, Cinciznnatus. consisted of only foul acres, the other three having been lost by his becoming surety for a friend. We art also told tuat Marius, who was celebratet tur uis irugatlty. and was hrece times cho sea Cousul, and thrice honored with a tri - umph, on returning from a successfjil cam patgn,. refused froum the people a grant ol fifty acres of latd, declaring that he at bad citizen who could not be conttented with the old alluwance of seven acres. --G.od borbtd''-exclaimed tlj hero to hia soldiers, --that a citizen sho look on ihal as a stmall piece of land wbh will support a man." T'he evil of anl extended ownership ii lands by our farmers, consists in the incli nation which such ownership very natural ly begets, to cultivate too much of it, and that but feebly, instead of confining thi industry and means to only so much Ian' as they can push to thse extreme of its cn pacity to produce. If one wsill inquire in to the history of thto'se persons who hay: succeeded best as cultivators of the soil he wtil flwl that they are those who bavc approached tnearest to a rigid observancc of that rule which enjoins the cultivation ol no more land than can be pushed to thc hignest condition of fertility by a11 the ha bor and means which the cultivator has to bestow. All the land which a man pos sesses beyond tits, and confined to his own occupation, had better' lie fallows or neglected than be suffered to impoverist that which ho should cultivate by dividing within his labor and manure, rendering thu whole feebly and only moderately produc tiue. In the vicinage of Boston-that ii to say, within a circle of fifteen and twen miles from the city, hundreds of indIvidualh are acquiring independenice from the pro eseds of farms no larger than that whbicha in olden times was sufficient for a Cihein natus or a Marins, to support himself up on in a style of notable ease and content ment. But this is not becanse of their v: einago to the market-for tile difference between the net: amount of their sales anm of those of more distant farmers, is not tc I be found in the difference of the cost o -transportation which the two classes incur SNo-the main d'iference comes from thi I superior productiveness of the few acres o - hee o er the manyt Racs f the othe r The one makes every foot of grobud that - he cultivates productive to the full extent of its capability under the most generous applicaion of nianures, and so concentrates e his labors to the utmost advantage where as the other fails under the influence ot' , the impression that unless he has a goodly - number of acres subjected to the plough I every year. his farm is being neglected, Y and that he cannot raise enough to live P, upon; and in order to seem to make a busi u eass of farmingi his stock of manure must be divided and scattered over the whole.-? C The consequence is, an unprofitable dis a persion of his labor, a poorly cultivated farm, and a feeble production ofcrops, t When shall we look forward to a generr. at improvement in this particular among A our farmers? When ont or ato influences ' prevail, ii. either the induence of an en lightened system of agricultural science that is a more active combination of head and hand-work; or the influence of a very much increased price of land in the coun try generally. The forner will perhap., - mote directly than any thing else tend to produce the latter result-so that the in- - s fluences tnsy be expected to operate quite i simultaneously. Be this as it may, we t can look forward with the utmost compla ceney to the period when men will be un - able to procure so much land always to keep them poor; or when they will under stand most tritly, that the way to get wealthy by tilling the soil is, to have no more land than can be brought. by the means which the owner possesses, into the higheststateotcultivation. Wecommend to our farmers, to inquire each one of him self, whether he has not too much land to be profitable, anl whether.ho would not in act be bctter off if he had less? It is a I self-denying inquiry, but will not be found r unproductive of pralitable reflections.
