S Exeator Agricultual We copy the following from an article be headed -" Farming in North Carolina," in the American Agriculturist. ir .TlManuring and Ditchinzg.-Tho appli cation of compost maiure, formed.on the ground io be cultivated, by a mixture o G. swamp muck, stable manure, sod from ihe id woodland, and about two bushels-of'lithe - to the acre, with attention to hill side ditch. - iag, bas enabled me to raise&fron 36 to s, 40 bushels of Indian eoan on land before 'too poor for any c.-p. In'another experi. ment.J;he success.has far exceeded the ex n peitatiui of the most hanguine; 'thei was ie on a flat piece of land, covered most of the 1 year with *ater, and with a heivy growth C. of bamboo, [briars] where it was dry e enough, with weeds, iron wood, and other noxious shrubs and plants. This was t, cleared up, and ditched abott *five feet e deep ;'at the bottom of the diich the hard pan of blue or white clay was perforated with an augur, or occasionally cut through with the spade.; rocks [stones) were put in the bottom,. and carefully covered .with split timber and then the ditches filled up, Tbey-were entirely dry when finshed, but - sliortly after ,they .were completed there d was a fall of rain, when the ditches began ;- to discharge a ,considerable quantity of 1 water, and have ever since. made good running streams. The ground haslbecome P light, loose, and friable, and has yielded about 75 bushels, 15 barrels or enrii to the acre. For the labor in cutting the ditches n I have been more than remunerated in thie - quantity of muck (or more properly speak a ing, clay) furnished for compost beds, with I which the poor hill sides have been ma nured. When dug up, this clay was ex. tremely hard, forming the pan* on. which the water bad rested and was not unlike bItrick when taket from the mould.' In four loads of this clay I alternately added one load of good manure, until the com . post reached from 50 to 100 loads. This was done in summer, or early in the fall and suffered to remain in the heap until spring, when it was applied to corn land. May not the fertilizing quality of this com post have arisen from the entire disinteg ration of the clay by the frost ? And was not its capacity to collect and retain am I 6ui a groat advdcate of atmospheric manure, and have come to the conclusion, that utm.ophere is the matrix of all ma nure ; and that no other manure is valna ble only as it is auxiliary to the attnos phere. This may at first view appear to be a starling and dangerous doctrine; it would-certainly be so..if carried to the ex tent bat Jethro Tull did, that is, that all o;her manures were to be excluded. I am in favor of giving every aid to atmosphere in our power, by all allkalies, composts, tanb such fixed balts as will impart to the earth the' greatest possible capacity to drink in and retain the gasses best suited to its support. in the compost beds referred io, there were a few bushels of ashes put in with the swamp earth, but so mixed as not to come in contact with the stable mauure the object was for the ashes to exert their full intluence on ;he muck. They would not have been injurious to the stable ma uure,.for I find that in my cow yard it is beneficial to throw a few bushels of wood ashes over the litter occasionally; to fix the salts confined in the urine, and tail ma nure. Thirty wagon loads of rich swatrp mud, put up in heaps in the fall, with the addition of two bushels of caustic lime, is found to be valuable for the reclamation of a sandy land resting on a clay subsoil. 'The latter description of compost was ap plied to sandy lanid, too far from my house to add any stable matture, and with extra ordinary effect, producing about thesame -result that-the first mentioned cotmpost did "on the clay land, viz. 36 to 40 bushels of corn to the acre where the land had been wvora out. In connexion with this subject, hill-side ditching must not be disregarded. It is - perhaps mnore important to us, than in your climate. The heavy rains of sutm mer have done great injury to the s'oil. of d the itshern $tates, by worktng off the g most valuable of the hills, and draining the lI botton1 land; this Is effectually guarded [. agatnst by laying oft' the land judiciously, m- and ditching. It has the effect o~f protect a ing both the 'upland and bottom, by pre venting the 'flow of water during hard rains on the latter, and the washing or wasting of the former. Sir John Sinclair, has, by his perseve rance in the cause of agriculture, done more for this country than half the politi cians and military tmen of his age One te great secret of his success is, his attention .y draining the land well,'and then protecting , it by hill-side ditches, or what he calls (. water- furrows, carrying all the excess of a. water into his ditches and ponds. In the second volume of Mr. Ruffin's Svaluable work on agriculture, the Far k miers' Register, I find that the application n of leached ashes with htalf its quantity of plaster of Paris, has had a fine effect when put in the corn bill. Can you inform me whether a mixture of carbonate of lime would not be equally salutary ? As a manure I should think it preferable ; hut, as a food for the plant, or what is properly e termed alimentary manure, it may not be - equal to the plaster (a). The slovenly t- practice of manuring in the hill, ought .never to be resorted to by any farmer whio Shas a regard for his estate and reputation it seems to me too much of the miser and nsurer.

BURTON. Beatty'sFord, Dec. 25, 1844. (a) Whe;ther lime or. plaster would be mos befit6cial, must depend on the na. ture of the sbil, and the crop to be raised from it. (b) Sp 'ding the tranure broad cast should be enerallv followed. in addition to this, it 4s considered eood practice to manure ligitly in the hill around the plant, just befoe it 'commences fruiting. Que must be gided by circumstances some what in these matters. (C) We:jhink our correspondent should make oth trials before condemning plas retnLenet t-1 sown ia urysweatner, its effecis will not become apparent in some time; if in wet weather, almost immedi ately. It is found that an ordinary crop of these grasses usually contains from 1& to 2 cwt. of this salt per acre. To such crops the application of plaster must be beneficial. To other crops, such as peas, beans, wheat, oats, barley, it is of little service t because upon -analysis, scarce a trace of plaster can be fo6nd in them. Perhaps the soil where Mr. Burton ap plied. the plaster to the grass was exhaust ed of its potash; ifso, it would lie of no material benefit to the grass. See this explained, page 225 of our last volume. Proi thi Southern Planter. IMPROVEMENT. Mr. Editor:-It having been my mis fortune to own poor land, and to be.with out money to improve it, I was much cheered at the fqllowiug caption of an ar ticle .whicla-ppeared in the last number of the Southern Plantei, to-wit: " How Poor Men may Make Poor Land Rich.' This struck me as being-the desideratum at which I bad so long aimed. I'therefore, read the article with avidity; but lo! my spirit quailed when I found lime and plaster - indispensable." - It is true your corres poindent has suggested an economical way to obtain these articles under circum3tan cos ; hut suppose I am located in a neigh harbood w'here there are no oyster-shells or. oyvter houses, and without money to buy plaster; I am barred these benefizs. Permit me, therefore, to euggest a course, which is better calculated to attain the end proposed by your correspondent.: Thes teife and Lie necessary farming implements being obnined, to put his land (the poor man's) itngnod arable condition., let him pilant his corn in well pulserizedl earth, and go tohis-ash-batnks an'd piles of horse manure. and take therefrom a quantity sufficient to drop in each corn-hill, one quaert (a jint of leached ashes wvill suffice) so long as his manure lasts, and wrk'his corn withiut reference to the alpplication of manun', and my wvord. for it,,he, will im prove doible the quantity offitnd and make double tha .quantity of corn that he would have dort had he have applied his mnanui broad-cat ; and I have little doubt but that the souble quantity of land thus ma nured wil yield 'more wheat ; for from my experimett in this way, 1 find the meauure difiused nrough the beds to an extent that tno otne ecn conceive, who has not experi mented ii this way. The second crop the beds willhec reversed, and the same course pursued~by which a more general diffu siotn of nanure will take place. I am fully persuaded that the small qluantily of manure -ecommended in this article will double tis quanitity of grain that a broad cast appication of the isame would, and leave theland better eve~y, year.

P2u'motion of Printers.-Pennsylvania appears to placesa high estimation'on the services- of. printers, who are always ini the line of promo'ion. -Gen.
