The Journal of Agriculture. Blackwood and
Socs.
This quarterly, although on a topic not produc
ive of general interest, Las several articles that wil.
engage the attention of the reader. "A Few
Thoughts and Facts anent Turnips" is the title of
the opening paper, which addresses itself chiefly to
the practical agriculturist. This is immediately
followed by au inquiry into the merits
of a pamphlet read before the Literary and
Philosophical Society of Manchester, by Mr.
Spence, entitled, " Coal, Smoke, and Sewage."
The sewage question having been already amply
discussed in this serial, the article treats only of
coal and smoke ; and those who are giving the
subject their attention will find a car eful considera-
tion of some of the schemes for disposing of noxious
vapours. The testicle on " The Physical Condition
of the People" treats of the health of the army,
and w,ll deserves the attention of those in autho-
rity. We extract tho following passage, whose
statistics speak for themselves
our youthful days, when Bluebooks had not
enlightened our simplicity, we have sung a jolly stave,
the refrain of which was,
His laurels are green when his locks are grey;
Ifeigh ho ! for the life of a soldier.
We know better now I A grey beaded soldier is a
pherlomenon twice as rare as a grey.headed civiiutu !
