On approaching central and

?jr:is \ yrain, and. aloeu factions of
the Slate, v.hich arc almost level
and very fertile. When v.e left

disappeared. T'no system of farm- j
iulc Kentucky seems exactly
oj posit e on ;v. Y?'e try to cultivate
all our laud; they cultivate wry
little of theirs. Their farms are
all cue! v-cd and they seem to devote
about one-fourth to 'pT.-n or
In.y, oiie-fourtii to wheat and oats,
one-fourth to corn, and the re
mainder to pitureo. One can
travel miles thcro an 1 n< t see a
[slow running'. Corn is 'in* i rincijml
cultivated crop, and J hey
plow it with a double cultivator,1
coroplot :n:j n row at one time.
Their land appears to improve
every year, whilo ours, under our
system of cotton cultivation, j^c's
poorer every year.
