AMERICAN AG-RICULTURIST 
generally speaking, neither high rents nor taxes 
to impede his progress, and shall he allow him¬ 
self to be outdone by those who are thus 
shackled? There is a crock of gold under 
every man’s farm, and if every agriculturist 
would only think so, we have no doubt he would 
go a little deeper than “ ten inches,” and as¬ 
suredly he would find it. Our great Franklin 
recommended that very thing upwards of a cen¬ 
tury ago— 
“Plow deep while sluggards sleep. 
And you shall have corn to sell and to keep.” 
We shall revert to this really important sub 
ject another time. We consider it far before 
the political bickerings and other such nonsense 
which too much distract the attention of our 
countrymen .—JVauvoo Tribune. 
A lot of fat cattle are on the way from the State Fair, but 
have not yet arrived. The large cattle on hand were princi¬ 
pally from Ohio and Kentucky. 
It costs no more to raise one hundred bushels 
of merchantable apples, than the same quantity 
of choke-pears or indifferent cider apples.

Remarks. —Our foreign advices have caused a slight re¬ 
action in the Grain, Flour, and Provision markets ; but 
there is nothing special to note this week further than will 
be found in our Price Current.

NEW-YORK CATTLE MARKET. 
Monday, Sept. 26, 1853. 
The market to-day was much brisker than that of last 
Monday, and the dealers in better spirits. Though many in¬ 
ferior cattle were offered, there were several lots, from Ohio, 
of very good quality. The sales, up to the time of our leav¬ 
ing, had been considerable ; and there will be few left over 
in comparison with what were left unsold at our last report. 
The numbers at the various places are as follows : 
Washington Yards, Forty-fourth street, A. M. Aller- 
ton, Proprietor.
