Q " POETRY. The Virginians of the Valley. [Ticknor of Georgia, the true poet, says Gen. Hill has eloquently eulogized in the lines below the noble qualities of tho sons of Virginia] : The kniglitlicst of the knightly race, "Who since tho days of old, Have kept the lamp of chivalry Alight in hearts of gold; Tho kindliest of the kindly band, Who, rarely hating ease, Yet rode with Spotswood round the land, And Raleigh rdun<$the seas. Who climbed the blue Virginian hills, Against embattled foes, And planted tnere, in vaueys iair, The lily and the rose; "Whose fragrance lives in many lands, "Whose beauty stars the earth, And lights the hearts of many homos "With lovelinesss and worth. We thought they slept! the sons who kept The names of noble sires, And slumbered whilo the darkness crept Around the vigil fires. But still the Golden Horse shoe knights Their old Dominion keep, Whose foes have found enchanted ground But not a knight asleep. AGRICULTURAL. Thorough Farming?or Much Labor on Little Land. The great secret of European success in Agriculture has been described as "much labor on comparatively little land." But the whole tenor of American husbandry from the first settlement of the country has been directly the contrary, or "little labor - - - " ? i . ? . r _ on much land." Anu tins is me cause of the deterioration of our farm and crops?of the exhaustion of the elements of fertility in the one, necessary to the production of the other. It requires no great amount of labor or store of knowledge to grow a crop at a cost equal or exceeding its value, nrirl Ion vino- the land noorer than be "*"* "v ?O i fore; but it does require both work and wisdom to produce one which shall bring profit to the farmer and prepare the land for productiveness . in future. Any one who can follow the plow and scatter the seed can do the former, but capital, experience and energy are required to accomplish the latter. Thorough farming bestows much labor?wisely directed and skilfully managed labor?upon every acre it cultivates. It drains the land if it needs it, so that it may be worked in the proper season, and no stagnant water ever stands to chill and blight all healthy vegetation. It deepens and thoroughly pulverizes the soil, so that every crop may freely send down its roots for moisture and substance; 1 * " ?j-J ana it aaas every uccucu mnuunai element, that their growth may be vigorous and rapid. It suffers no .weeds to- rob the soil of its riches and 'the plant of its proper and rightful nutriment; and gives the crop the needful care and attention through all the stages of its growth, from the deposit of the seed to the garnering of the product. "To cultivate his land well," says a contemporary, "and to increase its '/productive powers, is a prime object with a good farmer. To do this, it is absolutely essential that he employ the requisite amount of labor. This seems to be a self-evident proposition, and yet it is more generally disregarded in American husbandly, than any other principle of sound economy. Because we frequently hear it said that labor runs away from the profits of farming, our farmers lay it down as a maxim to get along with as j little labor as possible.- The consequence is, they attempt to do with less than 'tiiey ought. They are thus out of pocket by loss of season, and. deterioration of land and crop, and in.other ways of which they hardly dream. There is many a farm, of broad and-fertile acres, furnished with suitable, buildings and fences, well stocked and provided with all needful appliances to make it productive, the owner of which undertakes to carry it on. with half the force adequate to its cultivation. Is. it to be wondered at that farming under such circumstances is decried as unprofitable??that the interest on the. investment, the taxes, the repair of buildings and tools, and other incidental expenses eat up the profits, when these profits are not half what they might, by the employment of more labor, easily be made to be? "Labor is the root and spring, of profit." But well-directed, earnest. thorough wort is required to produce large results and full remuneration for such outlay of toil and care. The farmer who gives the cultivation which is needed on five acres, to fifteen or twenty, does no part of his work well, and must fail of getting a profitable .crop.1- Five acres of corn,-producing four; hundred bushels annually, is far better for the farmer and the country, even if thesame expenses be incurred . in its production,, than sixteen acres skimmed over to yield the same amount. Half a dozen choice, thrifty and productive fruit trees are worth more than one hundred poor'ones,' 4 and while the latter seem only a curse to the owner, the former will prove a source of continual and increasing profit. The best stock?cattle, horses, sheep and swine?are the cheapest in the end, and bring far richer vn+nvr?a 4-V? n w +l-> r\ 1 x UO cuau uuv IV tl xwuv% wmv* >?**.? worth varieties. Curing Pea Hay.?As the season is now at hand for curing this valuable provender, we cannot perhaps render many of our planting friends a more essential or acceptable service than by giving them the method of N. B. Moore, Esq., who is more successful in making good hay from peavines than any farmer we know of. When cured by this process, the leaves are retained on the vines, and it forms a most valuable and nutritious food, of which horses, cattle and sheep are exceedingly fond: * "Cut any time from blooming till the pod is filled; bunch them up the same day in "cocks," the size and shape of a barrel, as near as you can; a little wilting (say 24 hours) will settle them to the dimensions of a bushel basket. After two days' sun ?? *- ? - ?1 - ^ Am Airnr ning, just ut mgui> tuiu mem uiwj let tliem take the sun two days more, then "double up" in stack form about the size of a large hogshead. At the end of ten days, if the weather is favorable, they may be housed, which should always be done in the heat of the day, to avoid dampness in the least degree. If you encounter rain in the process, by no means allow your hands to pull them down, as it is in this way that the leaves are removed and the vines prevented from shedding ram, as they win ao, excepting a forkful fln top." Southern Cultivator. ? ? How to be a Good Farmer.? Here is the secret of good farming. You cannot take'from the land more than you restore to it, in some shape or other, without ruining it, and so destroying your capital. Different soils may require different modes of trontmpnt n/nrl ernrmincr. but in everv " ?-? itL?o' v variety of soil these are the golden rules to be observed: Drain until you find that the water that falls from heaven does not stagnate on the soil, but runs through it and off it freely. Turn up and till the land until your foot sinks into a loose powdery loam, through which the air and heat will readily penetrate. Let no weed occupy the piece where a useful plant could possibly grow. Collect every particle of manure that can be obtained, whether liquid or solid. Let "nothing on the farm go to waste.? Put in your crop in that course which experience has shown to lead to success or their growth, and to an enrichment, and not impoverishment, of the land. Give every plant room to spread Its roots in the soil, and leaves the aih And in all your operations, endeavor to be a little ahead of your neighbors.
