I From the Sbuthtm Cultivator. \ Manuring;. V Messrs. Editors.?The success of every farmJer depends, in a great degree, on the amount of J nutriment that he pays to the soil, in proportion f to the amount he takes from it. But a great yroany of us are at a loss to know what kind of \ manures we can most advantageously apply to V>ur different kinds of soil, (not being w?H versed f lb the modus operandi of agricultural chemistry.) Iq our State, the soil is rather peculiar. On our bottom lands, it is inclined to be sandy; on our tinlonJ in/ttinarl 4A Ka noKKlir infoKnorQnd trifh ^ u|7u?11u iuviiiivvi kv w |/vvv?^ J ?u.wi?|/viwvi nivw suial! stones, more or less.?Now, I beg to enquire of your seyorjor editor if the same kind of manure will not ciofor both bottom and uplands; and which is most suitable, or on which I can usb to the best aiivantage, stable or barnyard manure or leached ashes, or both together, as a compound ? And could I not use salt in the compound to good advantage ? It is rather diffi cult to get manures from our wood lands, as the bottoms are thick canebrakes, and the uplands are full of small undergrowth; consequently ire must depend on our baro-yards, stables, ey-, such as our asb piles, ben-bouses, chambers, / If you think the above will not answer, will you be sokiod as to say what I can best use? It requires a large quantity of mannres for onr lands, as it settles down m the sand so Cut, we have to use ajaige quantity to reap mnchbenefit from it. Yet we must try, and try again, and keep trying, or else we shall most assuredly come out minus, and our land become defunct Your attention to the above inquiries will , grcaLiy uunyc, Little Rock, Arkansas, June 15. Remai ks.?The same perfect manure that will form corn, cotton, wheat or tobacco, on clay or : loam bottoms, will act likewise on porous, sandy fcguplands. What we mean by perfect manure, is anjMigffpound that contains all the elements of the crop^to-be grown. Stable manure, particularly in case tne^migjals stabled consume grain, is a fertilizer of this Character. Bottom lands often abound in the element of crops, but in a condition not available as thfrfood of plants, and therefore wholly worthless to ttie^j^wner, as a source of income. Indeed, all soils contain latent resources, that can only be brougmTtout by the assistance of more knowledge than is usually taught in American colleges. Good cane brake land ought to spare the things that make corn, oats, peas and grass, which, being consumed by horses, mules, neat stock, hogs and sheep, should be mostly applied to rich poor lands, if you cultivate the latter at all. Beware that you do not waste manure, labor and money, in working too much of the latter kind of earth.

IIow much labor ought 100 bushels of corn, or wheat, or 50 bales of cotton, to cost ? Who will undertake to answer these plain and simple questions? Of course wc intend that whatever nutriment the soil parts with in forming a crop, shall l>e fully restored again from the atmosphere or some other source.

Do Farmers Read' ^ We have often heard the remark that the Fanning class of the community are not a read ing class. This we believe to be wrong; at any rate we know it does not belong to this day, or to this section of country. With less exceptions than belong to other pursuits, we believe the Gy formers of our State and probably of the nation, sa are a more reading people than the mechanics, "J or even the merchant. 0 Go through the country and you will find former's houses, as a general thing, better sup- a, plied with papers and perhapa books, than most y< other classes, and their sons and their daughters ai acquiring an early taste and habit of reading. In te cities and villages, we would^here was less read ing, unless it were better, miction, like tfie mi- n( asms that spreads over portions of the land, acts as a moral pestilence in society. It not only ?] renders the mind of youth effeminate and sickly, t[ but corrupts and debases it, and too often puts it beyond the hope of recovery, by rendering it unfit and unsusceptible for anything good and useful. Novel reading carries in its train more deleterious consequences than actual indulgence r{ in many kinds of vice, and is the more danger- K ous for its subtle and fascinating power. With ^ some exceptions, the farmer's home is not visited by this kind of influence, and their sons and p daughters grow up freer from its contaminating gt influence than perhaps any other class. s( It has also been a question, whether the life of the farmer is best calculated for a full development of the moral feelings. If it is best calcu a latec^'to make thinking men and women as we s( believe,it is, then we believe it is best calculated to promote the moral feelings, and prompt men p to good acts, than any other profession. The^asscrtion that the farming community are ai not, as a class, intelligent and well infonned, is an errot; and any discerning eye will readily see at oqr usual gathering of that class, that degree ^ ofinffellect stamped upon the countenances of j our young men and young women, that will at S( once convince him of the error, and m.ikc him tj fed a just pride in the intellectual superiority of g( me American youth, over that class in the old f, JTorld.?Jefferson. 0' ?
