service to a succeeding one, and not to call
on the soil to yield in succession the same
valuable material. that are detracted by a
crop of wheat, which crop te, in all pieces
coaaidergd as the great desideratum.--
Greeo crops, therefore, when consumed oo

which would have gone to comytt'ute blotto

Assertions are sometimes made.by3arm-
ers, that 10 !PITO • second crop of baud clo-
ver for seed will be more &nosh ng le the
land than if cut before it is ripe ; that form -
mg seed duns not detract frorn the land ;
but the contrary is the fact. Pr.ditetog
seed is, in every case, the most exhausting
of particular matters to the coif.
Ooe of the greatest henefits to be derived
from a proper euecension of preen crops, is
the aid which the tap -rented plants afford,
by penetrating beneath the hard pan into
the subsoil, there ex'ract•ng and bringing
up from a depth below . frrtileztog matters
that may be deficient *t the surface. -
These, as food to the plants, are most likely
to be the agp.eousparticlei that bold eel -
vent In them various portions of alkalies
and acids, phosphates and carbonates ; and
these matters aredeporited on the surface
• t every fall of the leaf combioed with the
. olidefee parts of air and water. Turnips,
mangold wurzel, and other broad leaved
plants that successive:, deposit their lower
leaves, are enriching the owlets with much
organic and feerganic matters, which con-
stitute their bulk ;.and the/ they do even if f
the bulbs and tubers are carried from off the
laud at an early period, when they have
scarcely done increasing in hulk.
On referee: to the anaivete !landed to
es by Sprengel, we find that all broad•leav•
ed plants take up from the noel much more
of the fixed'ngrertients than do the farina-
ceous• crops that have narow leaves. Cab-
bage, beet -root, Swede turnips, Be., take
up double the goentity that would be ex-
tracted by a crop of wheat ; hence the ad-
vantages of ler:ing the proluce from these
cro; s on the ground, and in put/cuter cher
foliage.
There are instances of arid soils in Eng-
land and on the continent of Europe, and in

to confirmation of the statement that the
beech's to be derived from green crops, arra
of baying ens of these succeed between
each of the cereals, we may quote the
practice of Mr. Morton, on Lord Ducie's
model farm, In Gloneesterehire, where be is
able to grow wheat with success every
&Iterate. year, half of all the ;table land
being occupied with that graio-ibis
grain below chosen fur the experi-
ment, berause it is the molt remunerating
one ; and yet the land ia nut by aey means
exhausted, as is shown Lr the increasing
yearly produce, the .average of the farm be-
ing often above five qts. per acre.
Thb practice of Mr. Morton is to vary
the green crops, so that clover, for instance,
should ant be repeated on the same spot
oftener than every tenth year; and this be
:s enabled to do by having fire varied green
crops, taking their places in succession one
after the other regulaely. We aeo not

from the lane:. The soil of the farm is of a
vatted rocky eharacrer, a part being on the

do we a favor of answering the following
question in your paper entitled N. Y. Tri-
bune?
1. Does a elavebelder require any more
worb from a slave than a farmer does from
his own eon?
e. Are not the slaver better off now than
they would be if the• were free?
3. Have not the slaves of the South a far
better edueatiou than the free negroee of
the North?
4. Do they have to provide for them-
selves like the free Degrees of the North?
5. Are there not more negro',s in the
8outhcrn States that belong to the Church
than there are Whitest
8. Are not Abnlitiooiits daily rendering
themselves obnoxious to society?
P. S. Answer this to to -morrow's paper.
✓Ja,wer
We know no reason wby our unknown
correspondent abould require es to answer'
the settee q•testions, but he is quite wel-
come to all the light we can abed oh
the subject. Ilia tone lead@ us to infer
that be b one of those who insist that Sla-
very ought nut to bo dscuaeed at the North, n
and yet aro perpetua Iy stirring up its due
cn-sign. 13•it ?ere is what we have le say
in response to hie q•lesttoni, viz:
1. Some S sveholders work their slaves
very Lard, but we think the majority do not.
The hardship i their two o-
n her case is w f tJ
first, they leave no legal or other efficient
proteatioa agam.t a requirement of exces-
tvc labor: and secondly, they know, that
heir carn,nge will not accrue to them -
e'er., w ti,etr children. Now some far-
mers' eons may be worked too hard, but
hey kr.nw that the proceeds of such toil
will generally come to • them -et their
(ether's death if not sooner: and they have
a security against excessive exertion in the
natural• a8'ection of a parent. In general,
we believe fathers are more apt to gave
their children frons hardship, even by incur-
ine, it themselves, which is not apt tc be
he case with rlaveholders, who grudgingly
mime that °levee are partakers with them
of a common humanity.
2. We think rho Slaves are 1101 better
off in Slavery than they would be in Free-
dom.
in the first place, their opinion on the
point is entitled to some weight, and you
may ask all the. Blacks in- the Union to
choose between Slavery and Freedom and
not find a hundred to oboose the former. -
In :he next place. we ate tithe fact that!
slaves aro necessarily exposed without pro-
tection to all manner of insult and abuse
from the family. which they aro not per-
mitted to repel or resent. No slave can be
a witness in court against the white man
who't he has seen assault his aged father
or abuse his wile of daughter; aed the par-
ent's of slaves, mak or female; are subject
to the ahsolute control of their masters. -
Such is necessarily tee low of Slavery; In-
dividual. are -Cnmetlmcs better, sometimes
worse then the law above them, bet Slave-
ry is what the law makes it. and we are
considering that. Progress, Itnproveaneot,
the hope ol•a bettering their condition and
the h^pe of oaring something tq smooths
thepathway of theechildren-such are the
sweeteners of bumaneexisteoco in this rug-
ged world. To the Slave, all these are
denied- 1f allowed 10 earn for himself out
of hie maeter'a time. his earnings are MM!
legally his maater'r property, and may be
wrested from him at any time. iI his mas-
ter of to -day is kind, he may be succeeded
to -morrow by a harsh and rapacious lime -
Abused as the Free Blacks are among us,
the property they have acquired, the per -
lone of their wives and children, are still
under the protection of the law, and their
condittoo is infinitely preferable to tbat of
slaves.
3. As 10 Education, two-thirds of the
Free Blacks of the North have a share of
it, while the Slaves are not permitted to
havo any. To teach Blacks is hero esteem-
ed landable, while to teach Slaves in, in
most Sot'thern Steles, punishable as felony.
We have known Christie Hsveholdon at
the youth dtatressed by their conflicting
obligations to teach their Slaves to rad
the Berle and the Law's denunciation of
severe penalties against any one who should
teach reading to Slaves, even though their
own. The E ),,civton of the Blacks of the
North is rapidly increasing; that of tbe
Slave' of the Soule; Is stationary, 11 not re-
trograding.
4. We think the Southern Slaves have to
provide ant only for themselves batt for
their mestere ale,.. Bit that is a d^licate
subject, and we pass rapidly neer it.
IS. For the credit of the Church, we trent
it dors enroll -se membero more of the vic-
tim' the of the ceatnpton. of Slavery.-

The green crops on • farm most be made
in propootion to the corn crops that are
to be consumed. High farming may be
denominated such a pystem that the princi-
pal part of the produce is consumed on the
land. the wheat being the only crop of grain
sent to market. The hay, straw and green
crops are best sent to market on four kgs,
in the ehepe of reared or fatted animals :
these, according to the late prices of ani
mal produce, have answered the best pur-
pos. for those farmers who could @Jopt it,
avid in particnlar those who conld breed and
rear their own etnck ; and kr the land, inch
pnetiee will at all times make that in the
best eonditioe.
THE AGRICULTURAL INTEREST.
The land them looked upon an simply a
ealuable capability requires, to order to be
made useful much skill, capital and. indus-
try, and they who apply these to the land
will receive their due reward in that shape
which repays the exertions of other cap:tal-
isms of skill -vie., in profits. But in these
days of active competition profit repays the
capitalists only when he employs great
skill and great industry in the appleation
of hu wealth. The large manufactories of
the cotton and wolleo spinners in York-
shire and Lancashire may be taken as the
tapes and models of the mode to which
skill and industry ought to be employed. -
No power is lost, no time is thrown away,
every act is performed with mathematical
precision: The thing to be produced - must
be the result of the least pwsibin expense,
every calculation mutt be so nicely made,
and tbe system of production so accurately
apportioned, that the whole profit -the fi-
nal result to the c*pttahst-that which he
obtains after replacing all that be has ex-
pended, Is often only a very small per cen-
tage upon ranch transaction, rapidity of npe-
ratao.• making up for the *matinees of the
return. Now, capital employed upon land
cannot because so ernployed,rbe freed from
the obligations of skill, care accuracy, and
constancy which attach to it in every other
employment. Agriculture, in sea :t, roust
be brought under the earns roles which go-
vern the other manufacturing processes. -
Agriculture must become a manufacture,
avid a farm he governed very much as a mill
now is. The pra ttical result from which
there is now no escape is, that capital em-
ployed on the land, to be profitable matin be
applied in large mashes ; and the persons
who se apply it can no longer be a sort of
upper farm labourers. The farrier, in short
most be a highly -educated man of beeriness
wielding a large power, employing many
skilful labourers , and using in the business'.
of production all the appliances which a
constantly improving science discovers. -
His mind most be open to receive every
new discovery. He meet not, with the
blend presumption of egnora.ee, tern away
from that wh.,:h is new because it is new,
nor be content to tread in a beaten pa if,
beelines his fathers trod there before Moi►.

Exnternn. or MOIRaAL'.-Mr, Logy,
Provincial Geologist, arrived here the latter
part of Inst week on baa tour collecting
specimens of ore for the Exhibition at Mon-
trctl, Specimens of iron ore from McNab
and Hull, and, we bellere, from several
other plates, have been obtained. One
from the former place is a rich pteee of spe-
cular oxide, and weighs shout 700 lbs, and
from hull there are several pieces of the
magnetic oxide, some of them weighing
over 300 lbs. Owing to circumetaoce. be-
yond his control, and the short tone Clew-
ed for preparation, Mr. Logan cannot pea-
sibly.dn more than collect a very small per -
eon of specimens of the Minerals that
might be sent from the various parts of
Canada. So far as ley in hie power, he bali
exerted himself in the matter with a stew
to hiring there: Minerals under notice, and a
more useful service could not be performed.
if no pains are taken to bring them under
notice, the public may for ages be without
the smallest profit from them, ineteed of
realizing the benefits that would flow both
directly and indirectly from their mannfse-
ture. The great object of the Exhibition
of the Minerals is to show that the country
really contains thein -it re simply advertis-
