Farma havo ofton reinained iu the saine family from the firet Bettleruent of tho conntry, tho titlea boing traceablo ba:k to the abonginee. Old John Adam* once stated that, in his scarchos for titlcs, the origin was found in deeds giveu from tho Indiana "forstitti cient consideration;" but what thia conaideration waa is uot well known. Aloug tlie coast the Indiana were more advanccd than tho triboa hving weatward. for they elearcd laud and raiscd coru. puiiipkim*, and bcana, and manurcd the laud with lish. with wbieh tho waters abounded theu as now. Tho tirst white aettlera of Essex and adjacent countiea came from Wiltahirc aud coutiguouB parts of England, wb(?re they were ownera of real eatate. They are said to havo been gentlenien, but it is more likely they were yeonien, a class now extinct. Many old habita have been retain.-d by thcni, and thoy gave to thocountiea and towusbips nainea derived from their native laud. During the long period of Ml veara many changea in tereating to nute havo of co.irse takon plaee. lt han always been a poiut, derived from a natural feeling, that BBRM one meinbor of tho family should be the heir or poaseaaor of the homestcad, aud it haa been found that generally tho oldest or the yonngest non succeeda, while the others becorno professioual or buaineaa tuen. or, taking their abar<; in uione.v, re mo.e to theWest. Farm managemeut baa been varions: IR aome caaea judicioua, iu otbera the oppoaite. A large portion of the laud has been devotcd to graaa. and thechief. and perhapa the only revenue haa been from hay. AU through thia region low land extenda from the ocean. back into tho country, and prodncea what ut cnlled aalt hay. Of tbia laud every fartner owub a portiou by originalallotnieut, and this whether he livea ad? jacent or not. Through tho Summer and Fall thbt hay ie drawn honie, eometinics a flistonce of 10 milea. It is occasionally eut on ground ao wet that a wagon caunot bo taken ou it -, tben tho hay ie camed by band, or tranaported iu boata up the crcoks, which ro aemble tho bayousof the Miaaisaippiimuntry. The hay variea in quality, but it ia all useid.and I fonnd many farmera feeding it altogether to tbeir atock, whila that grown ou tbe home farm and called Engliah hay, is sold. Many bave pursued thia practiee for a long time; sometinies aclling it to great atoundrela, who put rocka in it and cheat every way they can in weigbt, while others haul it directly to Boatoo, couaiiming froin two to three daya in tlie jonruey. I saw many wagoua built and rigged for thia eapecial baaiaaaBa Soexclusivelyare tho fartns devote.l to graaa thafc wbeat is aeldoiu sowu, and perbaps two acrea iu corn would be an average. Ofteu or.o aecs leaa than balf an acre, aometimt-a. not morelthan a few huudred hills, aud a amall patch of potatoea and a few beana and c.ibbagea, all iu tho center of a meadow. Only one reeult can follow whon, from year to year, hay is aold otl tbe farm; and I aaw large uiaadawa ao ex hauated of fertility that. although nngrazed, tbere waa not bay euongh to pay for cutting, and other fteldo were covored with eliort. light eolored oioea. Whort* auch faruu exwt, aud wbere rocka ara pleutifu). aod the etone walla aro tnmbling down, tho proapect ia about aa .lroaiy aa a cotton lield given up to tbo growth of tbe lonp-leafed pine. So far aa I could learn aueb farms are owned by old men, who livo on a few better liolds and oa what cau be gleaued. and wboae eona and daughters, grown up aad edn? eated, are gone ott' into the world. Still, there aro plenty of appareutly freah farma wbere tha graaa award ia tender aud green, and everythiu* baa a tbrrfty look. Tbe price of common farma ia from $4,000 to $.r*,000, aud tbis whetlier tbere or? 100,150, or 200 acrea; aud the preaumptiou is tbat the amaller the fann the better ia ita condition.

I took pai ticn lar painatoloarn what erlect tbiailccomposed grani?o> has on ai.il. aud what aflinity it has with manuretv but could l.ot hear tbat tbe _RBl attentiou had BSBBB paid to the aubject.

TkM peat or mii.k i* aaturatcd -with water, like a apoi.ge, and wben but portially drained prodncea only water graaaee. The bor.lers aro often fiinged witb troea.1 aud in tho midat aro cluuipa of treea callfd ialands. Ou many farma opt-n dit.-hea have been eut, but they prove lnaufficient. ioi, bes.de caving in and rt-quiriu<r ofteu to be eleaued out they earry off only a part of BM water.
