THE

NEW ENGLAND FARMER;

A MONTHLY JOURNAL,

DEVOTED TO

AGRICULTURE, HORTICULTURE,

AND THEIR KINDRED

ARTS AND SCIENCES;

AND ILLUSTRATED WITH NUMEROUS BEAUTIFUL ENGRAVINGS.

THE PRIME PRINCIPLES OF AGRICULTURE.

1. The soil ought to be kept dry; or, in other words, free from all superfluous moisture.

2. The soil ought to be kept clean; or, in other words, free from noxious weeds.

3. The soil ought to be kept rich; or, in other words, every particle of enriching material which can be
collected ought to be applied, so that the soil may be preserved in a state capable of yielding good crops.
