Inaddition to their civil speeches, they have the incredible courtesy of remaining with their heads uncovered, with an admirable grace, while they talk to each other. They are gifted with good understandings, and are very quick at every thing they apply their minds to; few, however, excepting the clergy, are ad- dicted to the study of letters; and this is the reason why any one who has learning, though he may be a laymen, is called by them a clerk.—.4 relation of the is- land of England about 1500.

A large table spoonful of pulverised alum, sprinkled into a hogshead of water (the water stirred round at the time.) will after the lapse of a few hours, by precipitating to the bet- tom the impure particles, so purify it, that it will be found to

The same may be said of potash, soda, magnesia and ‘certain acids, all of which are ingredients in most of > useful plants.

sg this oe of our soils, the presence of limestone in large quantities in any country, is second in value to that of no other mineral; not even excepting coal or iron. isa

For, as the productions of the farmer are indispensa- ble to persons in every business, and as the proper ap- plication of lime to the soils which are destitute of it, will convert them into fruitful agricultural districts, the value of lime-stone must be beyond that of any mineral

Sess, if

Ne or dole this good effect alone follow the addition of lime or any other single substance of which a soil hap- pens to be deficient. The mixture of entire soils with: each other often has the same result. For instance, the carting of a certain proportion of the surface of rich boggy or bottom land upon upland, or the reverse ; the aidition of pure sand to stiffclay fields, or the applica- tion of any other soil to one ofan entirely dissimilar cha- racter, has generally the same beneficial effect.

In all these cases, the applied soil being dissimilar from that to which it is added, the chances are, even without the certainty of a scientific analysis, the pro- ductive substances have been obtained; and conse- quently that productiveness will be increased. :

In this way there is great truth in the remark, that in the hands of a judicious farmer, almost every farm con- tains, within its limits, the means of its own fertilization.

SHOULD THE AGRICULTURIST BE EDU- CATED?

It has been too often thought that little or no educa- tion was requisite to prepare the mind to perform the duties of a husbandman—that his natural instincts, toge- ther with a “little reading, alittle writing, and a little cyphering,” were amply sufficient to direct him in the performance of all his duties. And this false view of human improvement is loosing ground, and the great mass of the people are beginning to learn the real object to be obtained by Education, yet it is now far from be- ing an obsolete idea. A man should be educated, not because he is to follow a particular trade or occupation —not because he is to fill a particular place or position in society—not because he is to fullow a certain profes- sion, but because heisa man. The incentives to mental

. } . ° 4 ‘ possess nearly all the freshness and clearness of the first spring |CUHVvation are higher than the trades they follow, or the

| professions they practice. More elevated than the mere dollars and cents, the end too often to be obtained by Education. He is to be Educated because he posses- ses a mind whose energies, when developed, are capa- ble of elevating him above the brutal nature of the un- tutored world—niultiplies infinitely his sourees of en- joyment—prepares him to act his part upon the stage of life—enables him to turn the instruments God has given him to his use—gtves him’ power to appreciate the grand, the beautiful, and the sublime in nature, and finally, to premote the great ends tobe attained by civilization. But ifthere are no inducements to mental cultivation in the nature of man, there wovld still be other, and wide grounds for its importance. They are in the nature of the farmer’s occupation. While the theologian spends years of toil in preparing himself for the duties to be preformed in the practice of his profes- sion, while the physician wastes his energies in college ‘classes to learn the nature of the human system and dis- /ease—while the lawyer spends years in the study of the common law—while the mechanic must learn by a slow and weary process the art of making goods—to the farmer, whose trade is infinitely more complex— whose profession is infinitely mere scientific, no prelim- inary preparation—no developement of the mind—no perfecting of the reasoning powers is deemed necessary. This isan erroneous notion—a fallacy which the sun- light of truth and improvement will ere long dispel. The farmer daily performs operations involving the prin- ciples of mechanics—of natural philosophy—of chem- istry—of the germination and growth of plants and trees —of hydraulics and hydrostatics, of geology, zoology, minerclogy, and botany—of the changes of clirnate— and the influence of winds and rains. And all expense has shown, that the farmer whose mind is rhost enhight- ened upon these departments of science—whose know- lege of the laws governing their operations is most ex- tensive, has ever been most successful] in drawing from the teeming bosom of the fruitful earth the exhaustless treasures it is capable of yielding. It is all important, then, that upon the ground of utility alone, the mind of

the agriculturalist should be irradiated with the beams of science.
