THE FARMEH.

From the Maine Farmer.
SIZE OF FARMS.
Me$tr>. Editor*.—I have observed
that something ba3 been said in jour pa.
per, within a few months, upon the size
of farms. And I think that many re.
marks of the writers upon this subject,
have been pertinent and of importance-
I ain aware that a strong prejudice ex
isls in the minds of most farmers in re
gard to this subject; the most of them
think that they must have a- largo farm,
or in other words,, a large lot ol land to
make a farm of. Ami if wo look about
us, we shall find that it is quite difficult
for a person to dispose of or sell a small
furm, or one which consits of thirty for-ty
or fifty acres of land only, and the
sale of such a one is seldom effected, ex-cept
it is to a professional man or me-chanic,
unless it is situated in tlie imme-diate
vicinity of » seaport town or city.
This bent oi bias of the minds of the
people in favor of large farms may have
been formed or created in this Stale by
the cheapness of bind, and the facility
of getting off the first ciops, and perhaps
also the common custom of almost every
person having an hundred acres or lar.
' gcr lot of land in bit posscscion ; these,
and r.my be smno other causes, have
had tlie effect to keep up the al-most
insatiable desire of having a great
deal of real estate. And without going
into an investigation of all or any of the in,
it will be sufficient for my present pur-pose,
Jo observe, that perhaps a great er-ror
into which many, very many of our
farmers fall, is, their endeavoring to cut-livato
loo much land, even when it is
good, but their error certainly is much
greater when the land is poor, or of an
inferior quality ; the practice of some
fanners loo, of cropping their lands until
they will no longer pay the expense of
cultivation, is a very pernicious custom,
and lends lo make many persons compar-atively
poor, who might by judicious
management, and mnin less manual labor,
live comfortably and independent, upon
a small farm well managed.
tt is the custom of some, and in fact I
believe many who would like to be con-sidered
pretty good husbandmen, to crop
Ibeir lands until they produce but very
little, especially their mowing, and then
turn it out, as they express it, to
pasture. We frequently sec this kind of
management, as we travel Ihe country.
A man who has a farm of from one lo
iwo hundred acres or more of land, will
perhaps have some twenty or thirty scros
of what he terms mowing, upon which he
docs not get upon an avcrugc more than
two-thirds or three-fourths of a ton of
hay from tho acre. Some ten or fifteen
arcrcs of tillage from which he has ten or
twelve bushels of wheat, about as much
rye, Iwcnty-fivo or thirty bushels of corn,
and other crops in about the same pro-portion,
while his pasture oiay consist of
lifty or seventy five acres of land, some
of which has been exhausted by tillage
and mowing, but the larger part never
having been but partially cleared, and
the mo=l of it overun with thistles, brakes
and bushes ; so that much lime is spent
in looking is)> hit. oxen and horses, when
they may happen to be wanted and in
gellin
It is a common remark that small farm. | ture, you ro
sro the most productive, and we often jewel,
hear it said that a man with a little piece
of land, might well afford to have a good
crop, not considering, that it is equally
economical for those who have great
farms, as trios') who have little oner. Do
wo hut take into consideration, the extra
expense of making fences, koeping Ihein
in repair, the lime spent in looking up
his own, and perhaps driving his neigh-bors
cattle from bis fields, would amount
to quite a sum, nearly sufficient to till
oue or moro acres of land well, besides
the saving of a great deal of travel in car-rying
it on. Tor should we keep an ac-curate
account ol ihc comparative ex-pense
between a Urge and small farm,
together with the. profit or income of
each wo should find in most cases the
balance in favor of the latter. For in-stance
: It is much easier on tho whole,
to till one aero of land well, than three
acres poorly, or in oilier words, a man
srho makes but fifty or sixty luads of
manure yearly, had batter put it Upon
one aero of ground, and Hum that take
offa crepof sixty or seventy-five bushels
of corn, than lo spread it over three acres,
and not get more thai, that quantity—as
the land afterwards will remain in a rich '•
state for several yoais, without any more
manure, while tan Utter will require a
renewal almost every year, besides it is
much less labor lo put Ihe manure upon
one, than upon three acres of land, and
Ihe ploughing, planting, hoeing and hai-vesting
is much less, lo say nothing of
ihc greater comfort and satisfaction of
taking caro of a good cop linn a poor
one. If it .is in wowing, much labor is

Scham, after thia day, was named the
Godolphin Arabian, and ho soon became
the most eclebrsted horse in Ihe world.
He died in 1753, aged 29. The slave

Climate, toil, extent, and production:^
—This territory is becoming interesting
to every portion ol Ihe country, from
many causes. It is fast filling with enter-prising
individual" from other ami distant
parts of the country, and they uniformly
give so favorable an account of its ad-vantages,
that others are looking thither
for the home of their future days.
Wisconsin is situated between ihe la
tiludes of 41 deg. 40 min. and 49 dee-north,
and is hounded on the cast by
Ijke Michigan, and on Iho west by the
Mississippi river. The whole territory
contains more than 8,000 square miles,
■d has now about 30,000 inhabitants.
It is well watered in Ihe interior by the
numerous springs, and by largo livers,
which are navigable ; and is most eligi-bly
situated for commerce. It has a va-riety
of soils, all of which are warm and
fertile ; and in every part of the country
limestone is abundant. It possesses a
lubritV of climate which is unequalled
in the West.
The general face of Ihc country is Un-dulating
without mountains, and is co-vered
with grass. For the purpose of
L'lazing, it is not surpassed, l'lic far-mers
raise wheat, rye, oats, barley, corn
and potatoes. Thirty bushels of wheat
to the acre, and forty bushels of corn,
with common cultivation, are not unusu-al
crops. The potatoes are superior lo
any in tlie United Stales-
An intelligent correspondent of the
New Orleans Bulletin, after a residence
of 1* yeais, speaks in the highest terms
of its resources, climate and natural ad-vantages.
Roads arc being constructed in vari-ous
directions through the country, al
the expense of the United States, and, it
is understood, they sro about to open a
free steamboat navigation from Green
Hay lo Iho Mississippi, by the Fox and
Wisconsin rivers. For iheso works ol
internal improvement, tho people pay
no taxes, and they arc only laxed about
one mill on Ihe dollar for all the expen-ses
of their government. In this respect,
Ihc people of Wisconsin aro differently
situated from those of other western
States.
It may also be important lo foreigners
to know that, by ihe laws of Wisconsin,
aliens can hold and convey real ..-state,
the same as native born citizens, which
cannot be done in most of the Stales.
In Wisconsin timber and praiiic ore
interspersed so that farms can be obtain-ed
with a due proportion of each. There
are now more than one hundred town-ships
of six miles square, or 9,804,000
acres, in the Green Ray land district,
which are offered for sale by Government
atone dollar and twenty-five cents the
acre, no part of which has been pur-chased
by individuals. This is a good
opportunity fol fanners and mechanics to
make a selection, who wish to obtain
cheap and comfortable homes, without
iiompetttion in price ; and almost every
part of this tract is accessible to boats by
tireen Ray and the Fox river.
Wc look upon it as important al times,
lo make known, to men ofc.it. rprize and
industry, the opportunities which vari-ous
portions of the West present, and
with this view we havo glanced al W is-cousin.

of the thousands in our overrun cities,
many of whom never expect, by remain-ing
in them, to advance themselves by a
life of toil an inch beyond living from

I have looked in vain for c-ven
a symptom of the Queen's influence
on any thing.1 She is ss completely iso-lated
in England, as entirely above and
out of Ihc reach of tho sympathies and
common thoughts of society aa the gill

know she is there; in Ihe Park, she

her modeaty and mental quali-ties

discussed than those of the dancers of

I have expressed my surprise at this,
once or twice, lo intelligent persons in
London, but it was very much like ex-pressing
wonder at the growth of trees
or the running of water. They never
think about It. It has occurred to nte,
however, that the selection of Iho Queen's
Maids of Honor ci personal associates,
from those of good birth, lo whom emolu-ment
is1 of importance—in other words,
from reduced or retired families of the
nobility and gentry, may bo one reason
why the Court is in a measure unfashion-able
among those whose prosperity aud
wealth constitute them the leaders of so-oiely
in London. Then again, ihe court-ly
circle, small as it necessarily is, is ca
s'lly lost and forgotten in the vast extent
of polished society in England, whereas
n tbc days of Elisabeth, every person,
probably, of good family and position
came moro or less into personal contact
with tho Queen and her courtiers. Il
seems odd, however, to one who Ins
looked al it from a distance, to associate
