I will say a few words upon a topic which has heretofore been mentioned in this place, and those only because my par- ticular business makes the remark more than disinterested on my part: The best of our farmers are united in saying, that we cultivate, or rather attempt to cultivate, too much land. I believe the principle will not be contested by any who would be likely to be affected by it, and I insert it here only with a wish to impress it again upon your mind. Travelling a few years ago in ...Pennsylvania, I saw in a grist mill a machine to break corn before shelling ; in that state it was ground coarse, and fed to hogs and other animals. I heard much of the advantage of this plan, but being unfortunately prevented from devoting as much of my time and of my thoughts to the subject of farming as I wish, I might never have endea- voured to introduce this mode in our county, if the too great partiality of my associates had not chosen me for the honour of addressing you on this occasion.
