Essentials to Productive Farming:.
The following sixteen essentials for pro
ductive funning are from the pen of the
editor of the American Farmer:
l. ioo,l iinnleiiviiits of husbandry, and
leuty of them, "huh should always be
keixt m perfect oniei.
2. jJeep piouniuij ;iuu iouiuuii
izaliou .of tije soil by the free use of harrow,
drag and roller.
2. An application of lime, marl, or ashes,
V lie re calcareous matter or potash may not
be present in the soil.
. 4. A systematic husbandry of every sub
stance oil the farm capable of being con
certed into manure, as systematic protec
tion of such substances .from loss or by
.evaporation or waste of any kind, and a
careful application of the same to the lauds
iticulture.
J&. The draining of all wet lands, so as to
relieve the roots of the plants from the ill
.effects of a superabundance of water, a con
ditiou equally pernicious as drought to their
iieal thy growth and profitable fructification.
6. The tree use of the plough, cultivator
jtud hoe, with all row-cultured crops, so as
jLo keep down at all times the growth of
grass and weeds, those pests which prove
HOldestructive to crops.
7. Seeding at the proper time with good
eed, and an equal attention as to the period
.jujC working crops.
8. Attention to the construction of and
repair of fences, so that what is made
through the toils ami anxious cares of the
husbandman, may not be lost through his
lcglect to protect his crop from the depre
cations of stock.
Dail) personal superintetidance on part
of the master over the operations of the
firm, no matter how good a manager he
,6ay have, or however faithful his hands
any be, as the presence of the head of the
,jfartn and the use of his eyes, are worth
several pairs of hands.
10. Labor saving machinery, so that one
tpay render himself as independent as need
fill, of neighborhood labor; as a sense of the
Comparative independence of the employer
JpOii such labor, beujets a disposition of obe-
I f 1 ! 1 .1 . 1
xuence ana iaiuiiuiness on Hie part oi tnc
employee.
11. Comfortable stabling and sheds for
horses and stock, all the necessary outbuild-
llgs lor the accommodation ot the hands
itlld protection of the tools and implements
;us well as for the care of the poultry.
12. Clover and oilier grasses to form a
part of the rotation crops, and these to be
pX proper periods ploughed in to form pabu
lum tor succeeding crops. 1 he clover held
ifo be cither plastered or ashed each suc
ceeding spring one bushel of the former,
and six of the latter per acre.
13. To keep no mme slock than can well
.be kept, but be sure to keep as many as can
be kept in uood condition, as it is a wise
policy to feed as much as possible of the
crops grown on the farm and thus return to
It that which has been abstracted from it.
4. To provide a good orchard and gar
den ; one to be filled with choice fruits of
all kinds the other with vegetables of all
sorts, early and late, so that the table may
at all times be well and seasonably supplied,
Vnd the surplus contribute to increase the
vealth of the proprietor.
15. The taking of one or more good agri
cultural papers.
16, It is better to cut grain just before it
js lully or dead ripe. When the straw, im
nej3iaU'ly before the grain ripens, is t.o dry
jthat" on twistjng ;t no juice is extracted, ft
should be cut, for then there is no circula
tion of juice to the ear.
Saving , the Fat and Flesh.
Under this head a writer for the Xew
York Herald discourses as follows;
The flesh and fat of all kinds of domestic
.animals are made of grass and grain, which
.cost money. In autumn, when feed begins
to fail, and the weather becomes cold "and
Htorrpy, animals will Jose flesh unless they
.are well fed and properly protected from
jcold and wet storms. Every pound of flesh
;ind fat is worth, at a low figure, twelve
.and a half cents. Flesh and fat is actually
worth much more than that stun, in most
localities, as there is no bone, no hair, no
fW4$n horns nor other waste in those
ftrts of the animals. The fat is always
first. The flesh next. Now, then, every
pound of fat and flesh that is wasted is a
dead loss of twenty-five cents to the owner
.T,l,be Stock. When ai animal consumes a
o,uid of fat in miinlaiiiiug respiration and
'aidmaj heat, the was? is a dead loss, be
au&e it can i.ever be re; i i, !. The sub
stance that composed that. Jat ami flesh is
gone. The grass and grain consumed in
making it might just as well, in one sense,
have been pitched into the Atlantic ocean.
f another sense, it would have lu?en betr
fertQ.cast the grass and grain on the land
a a renovator of tin soil.' Now, o repro
duce the number of pounds t,i tat and Jjesh
J,ojt jvill cost less than another twelve and
half cents' worth. of grain. There vo-i
k$Yc twenty.live cents" in cash tor everv
pound ,of flesh produced. Every person
who has half an eye can not tail to gee and
appreciate this fact. It needs no further
elucidation. The person, therefore, who
has ten head of cattle, and allows each one
Jo fall ayay 1,00 pound? each, loses ten hnn
.dred quarters of doJlars, or 250 ! A hun
dred pounds of fat and flesh would scarcely
Jessed in the appearance of some anf
Jiills. And the same rule holds good with
jhorses, sheep, swine, and all kiudsof domes
,tic animals. Every pound il,.sh lost is
equivalent to so much money actually
thfown away. No one can deny it. And
ihere is the error in the niamrgoment ; and
the grand, practical question is hgw m ave
thAt which has heretofore been hst.

Tree Planting: in Michigan.
We recently received a letter inquiring
concerning the law of that State in regard
to tree planting. We publish the Michigan
law relative to street tree planting:
"Any person or persons owning or occu
pying land adjoining any highway, not less
than three rods wide, may plant or set out
trees or shrubs on each sideof said highway
contiguous to his land, which trees or shrubs
shall - be set in regular rows at a distance
not less than six feet from each other, and
within eight feet of the margin of the high
way. Provided, that in incorporated vil
lages or cities the Common Council of such
cities or villages may fix or determine the
distance that such trees shall beset from
the margin of the highways.
Any such person owning or occupying
land contiguous to any highway, and who
is assessed to any highway or poll-tax, may
cause to be paid of such tax a sum not ex
ceeding twenty-five per cent for any yer,
by planting trees or shrubs in the margin
of the highway, in a space not exceeding
eight feet in width from the margin of the
highway, which sum, when so paid, shall
be credited upon his highway or poll-tax
for that year. And any overseer of the
highway may cause a portion not exceeding
ten percent of the highway tax, in his road
dist rict, to be expended in setting out trees
or shrubs in a space not exceeding eight
feet in width from the margin of the high
way." R . P. DAVIDSON

Too well and favorably known in North and
South Carolina, parts of "Tennessee and Virginia,
and too long established (since 1857) the Proprietors
deem it unnecessary in again coming before the
public and soliciting their patronage to go into a
long flourish as to their immense stock and com
mensurate WILL and ability to sell Goods LOW.
Wc therefore content ourselves by simply an
nouncing that our business having increased if 200,
000 in one year, and Charlotte having additional
Railroad facilities warrants us in still more increas
ing our stock.
We shall have in store bv the 10th of September
a stock of three hundred thousand dollars, (300,000,)
consisting of full lines of every class of goods that
go to make a complete assortment for a Store, which
we otter to the trade at competing prices with any
Jobbing House from New York to New Orleans.
All we ask, come, and we will make good the above
assertion.
Merchants in North Carolina have the additional
advantage, that by buving in the State, they have no
puieiiiine aha hi pay.
We also have a retail department, where we keep
