The purity of the air, the purity and abundance of running water, and the character of the soil, should be carefully considered. The nature of the soil may be ascertained either by analysis, or by observation of the weeds and trees growing upon it. Attention should also be paid to the degree of its attraction for the insensible moisture of the atmosphere, to the kind of substratum on which it rests, and to its inclination as affording facilities for proper drainage, and yet not so much inclined as to render the soil liable to wash by the rains. Whether it is more profitable in this country to lay out money in th purchase and improvement of exhausted F. , or in the clearing and improvement of new land, is a question which requires more mature consideration than has been generally given to it. Calculations embracing the several expenses required in the two operations would seem to show, that the intelligent farmer, versed in the various proce es of producing manure and taking advantage of green fallow crops, will lay out his means most profitably in rostoring worn-out lands to fertility; provided he does not commit the common error of endeavoring many of these odious tax gatherers perished on the scaffold, and an end was put to the system.
