EXPERIMENTS IN FARMING.

 Our readers must not be alarmed if we ad. wise every farmer who has any mind, to ex- ercise that mind in making improvements in his modes of ofcultiyation. Let each practical cultivator vary his modes occasionally, and on small scale if he chooses, and let him in- form the public of his success or of his fail ure, according to the facts. In this way we can acquire an abundance of information from each other, which will be more useful than all the theoretical systems advocated by philosophers whose farming is principally on white sheet-whose furrows are crook ed and black on white soil.

 The present low prices of produce should not discourage US, but should serve us a stimulus 10 endeavor 10 produce at less ex- pense. It must be borne in mind that we now subvert our green.sward with one halt the expense which was formerly required, and by means of our present system of rota- tion of crops, imperfect as it is, we obtain s or 10 times as much English hay us we did on the same farms fifty years ago-and yet hay bears a price nearly as high, on the average, as it then did. Produce will gene- rally bear remunerating prices to all who cultivate with skill. If distant cultivators can undersell us in our own markets in arli. cles peculiarly adapted to their soil and stu- ation, we must of necessity shift in some de- gree our course of husbandry-we must turn our attention to the production of those ari- cles which cannot so we'll be transported 10 distance.

 At this season our best farmers are prepa. ring to raise root crops for their stock. Every farmer who ever milked COW knows inc importance of having roots of some kind to give her in the fall and winter season. Some prefer the potatoe-some the turnip-o.hers the various species of beet and carrot and parsnip. In determining which are most I profitable, a farmer will consider the quality of his lands, and his facilities for production He may have rough fields which he wishes 10 subdue by planting, and if his soil is q heavy loam he may raise potatoes to as good ] advantage as any root.
