AGRICU LTURAL.

,.___ NEGLIGENCE AND ERRORS IN AGRICULTURE.

I propose, as a very proper subject for your journal, to point out some ofthe uegligences and errors that farmers iallow themselves to indulge in or commit. I have often thought, and still think, that one of the most useful pe- rit‘id’icals that could be published would be one for the ‘c'orrec‘tion of errors, called, if you please, “Erratur.” Scarcer less valuable. may I not say even more valuable, (would be the “Detector of Negligence;” but if both were combined, who can conceive the value of sdch a ’work to the farmer? But enough of introductory ; let ‘us proceed to the discussion‘o‘f the subject.

I belive farmers lose as much by negligence as by bad cultivation. _ Let me illustrate: whenever I hear a 'man complain that his grounds are overrun with thistles, with ox-eye daisy,’ wild carrot, chess nut grass, &c., I at once say to them, there was a time, andihat not long ago, when you might have prevented this evil with five minutes’ labour. When you first saw that villanous ‘plant on your land, there were but one or two, or half a ‘dozen, and you could have destroyed them with a dock eXtractor or hoe in a few minutes, but you neglected the 'dppbrtunity. The next year their seeds were scattered ‘over every field, and you might even then, by a few hours’ (exertion, have exterminate-d the whole family; but how theirrname is legion, and your small force is ina- ‘itdequate to their extirpation, except at the expense of at

‘ ,least a season’s drop. This is not all. Your more rcareful neighbors, on whose grounds a vicious seed was 'nc'ver seen to grow before, are out with their weed hooks, 1860., endeavouring to destroy a noxious weed that they ‘find springing up in all parts of their fields from the laceds blown from your fields, and wondering whence

' 'they'cdme. Would you do justice to yourself and to all your, neighbours? In all your walks over your, fields ‘carry if] your hands a weed hook, with such fixtures on the ends as will enable you to pull up a narrow leaf dock by the roots, and never allow one of these or any other noxious weed to stand one minute after your first

was worth—if you had doneall these, you would not now be‘ complaining of ,loss, by experiments. G0 "PM" iu'all cases,,tli,e wise proverb ol',,P-aul orSolomon, lof- get which, “ Try all things, and hold .fast'that leCh 15 good.” But Solomon _or .St. igPaul, whichoyer {my have been, meant that you should “try all things, In 8 small way, until you found them “good.” _

Errors in judgment are so numerous, sn universal, that it is difficult to point- out examples; there are so many of equal . importance, that we can hardly Cho‘h‘F Lwhich to take; but that farmer yonder who throws hIS stable manure outof the window of his stable", 0“ the side of the hill, and allows it to remain there frOm mouth to month, to be washed by every rain and bleach- ed by every sunshine, commits not a greatererror than he who purchases manure at a distance, employs teams and hands to haul it to the farm, all at a heavy “991153, and at the same time overlooks, or omits to availhimself of, the numerous sources of manure that are staring him in~ the face every hour on his own premises. ‘f My fa- ther billed his corn aiid‘made good crops," says 0095 l0" getting, as it would seem, that his father’s land was new, and would “stand anything.” “ I have the tallest co‘rn’, and will have the greatest crop of any in these parts. says a Saratoga county farmer who had obtained some seed of the tall southern corn, in a tour last year to the south; forgetting or not having recollected, that com that may make a good crop in the south, Will not neces- sarily do so in the north, until the first ofOctober nip- ped all- his prospects in the milk. He had not duly considered that plants have their climates as all things have their seasons. , '

But I must close my discourse. and will do so by a summary illustrative corollary: Two wliiie millers, or moths, entered the gardens of two citizens in the spring: one, of coarse, in each. The owner ofeach garden was present, and each saw the little creatures. One of the citizens instantly caught and killed the insect ; the other allowed it to pass on, paying no attention to it. In mid- summer. the garden ofthe first citizen was free from cat- terpillars; and that of the other completely denuded of foliage, with huge and offensive insects on every shrub and plant. “Why,” says the latter to the former, “ how happens it that you. have no catterpillars, while my gar- den is devoured by them?” “I killed the first miller,” says the former,“ you'let it live, lay its 500 eggs, which in two weeks turned out 500 caterpillars, and then in their turn, in a few weeks, each 500 more, and so on, till you have your millions of insects, andI have none.” -—-Alban_i/ Cultivator.

THE YOUNG MAN’S Liaisons—Young man! after the duties ofthe day are over, how do you spend your evenings? When business is (lull,~and leaves at your disposal many unoccupied hours, what disposition do you make of them? Ihave known, and now know, many young men, who, ifthey devoted to any scientific, or literary, or professional pursuits, the time they spend in games of chance, and lounging in bed, audin idle company, might rise to any eminence. You have all read of the sexion’s son, who became a fine astronomer

stars after ringing the bell for nine o’clock. liain Phipps, who, at the age of forty-five, had attainier the order of knighthood, and the office of'high sheriff of New England and Governor of Massachusetts, learned lto read and write, after his eighteenth year, of a ship- carpenter in Boston. William Gifford, the great editor ofthe Quarterly, was an apprentics toa shoemaker, and

spent his leisure hours in study. _Aud because he had v

neither pen nor paper,.slate nor pencil, he wrought out his problems on smooth leather with a blunt awl. David Rittenhouse, the American astronomer, when a plough- boy, was observed to have covered his plough and fences with figures and calculations. James Ferguson, the great Scotch astronomer, learned to read by himself, and mastered the elements of astronomy whilst a shepherd’s boy in the fields by night. And perhaps it is not tool much to say, that iftlie hours wasted in idle company, in vainconversaiion, or at the tavern, were only spent‘in pursuit ofuseful knowledge, the dullest apprentice in any one ofour shops might become an entelligeiit mem- ber ofsociety, and a fit person for most ofour civil offices.

discovery ofit. Do not, as many negligent farmers do, when they see a weed of this kind, pass on, ‘saying to yourself, “I will send a hand to destroy the thing, on my return to the house.” That is not the way to des- troy it. .You may and most likely will forget it, on your return to the house; the'hand may not be able to find it, -—he 'may not destroy it effectually when he does find it: 'he may not look for it, [because the land is not his, the V'crop to come is not his, he is sure ofhis month’s pay at all events, he has no interest in its destruction] In all your walks over your farm, let the staff in your hand'be , awell constructed weed hook; you can walk as well and protect yourself as well with such a staff or cane as with any other. Now, this is the way to rid yourself of all noxious weeds, or rather to prevent their formidable appearance. Begin at the beginning with these pests, or with anything else. Put a new rail in that panel, in , place ofthat rotten one yonder; do it now; don’t wait till the broken rail invites some stray animal to leap into your cornfield, and in doing so, breaks halfa dozen other . rails. Take a spade and drain off that pool of standing Water in your wheat field yonder, and as you go along cutoff that summer sprout or young shoot that is just starting from the limb of that apple tree, that favorite- tree of yours, and mind hereafter, don’t let such things grow on any of your trees. Take a small spade and dig up all, every one, of those butter cups in your cow . and sheep pastures, and as soon as you see a single plant ofthat poisonous plant hereafter, destroy it instant- ly. Don’t you know it is one ofthe most deadly poisons that can be found. It does not kill, it is true, at once; but it is a slow poison, and ultimately kills any ordinary animal that eats it; besides, it poisons the milk of COWS, an." is supposed to be the cause of the milk sickness of the‘fivest. , I ,_ ' " ' " 'Errors in farming or agriculture are as numerous as iiistances,of.neglect,and even as delcterous. That was h capital error of yours, sir, in supposing,.that because you had a thin soil with a clay substratum, you must not plow deep. Why, my dear sir, iften years ago you had begun to plow deep, you would at this time have had adeepsoil, instead of this thin skin that is made still thinner every time you scratch it. Plow deeply, as . deep 'as you can, every time you plow, and in a few years you will have no reason to complain ofshort crops from drought, or ofwinter killing from hard winters, nor of'short crops from anything else. Don’t try too much gilt! Try all new things in asmall way. If you had tried but one acre of that new spring wheat, and kept Irying one’lscre till you found it to be, or not to be, what it was cracked ,up to be ; or ifyou had tried but one bushel ofi't'h‘e'se new potatoes, for two or three years in succession; or if yOu had. tried a quarter of an acre of Sthat new Spanish clover,’ till you had found out what it

By such a course, the rough covering of many a youth is laid aside; and their ideas, instead of being confined to local subjects and professional technicalities, might range throughout the wide fields of creation; and other stars from the young men of this city might be added to the list of worthiesthat is gilding our country with bright yet mellow light—Rm.
