AG RicuLTURE.

Notwithstandit”T all onr boasted improvements in
Aerie°lmre within these few years, it may be ques.
tinned whether any thing like a due share of attention.
has yet been paid to this lirst and most essential!. source
of comfort and flakiness. It we may credit a well.
informed individual, who would not willingly im-
pose on us, that rizh province of the new Nether-
landish Empire, 'bog called Holland, has, it.is said,
during the last twenty-five years of the crimes and'
tellies of France, and of the' fears and waves of
England, greatly improved in Agriculture and pro-
duction ; so much that its crowded population cannot
consume more than .66 one seventh part of the total
produce of the well Managed soil of their territery."
If this be a correct statement it deserves much refic.
don, and leads to many considerations.
The first of manufactures, because the most im-
portant and essential to us in its products and uses, is
the manufacture of the soil. The most ancient, ho-
nourable, and powerful of all machines still,' and the
'most economical of human labour, is'. the plough,
moved by the brute and quiet force of the patient oz.
' which, when he has shim his labour, may be fatted
for the knife. May not the policy be questioned then
which leads people to. give a preference to the corn=
devouring !terse, whose carcase is of little or no use
to the community ?
From our soil, if we manufacture it aright, and
repay the toil of those who cultivate it, we can have
food, raiment and habitations, good liquors to sup.
part and to cheer, stone, fuel, pottery, china, glass,
and :all the useful metals, play-houses and halls,
bridges and palaces, colours and painting., churcho
and penitentiaries.—What more do we want, bus
sugar and tea, coffee and wine, which Europe, Asia,
and America, are glad to exchange with us- for a
little of our surplus produce of ingenuity, skill, and
machinery ? Aod of all this, too, we have means
enough. as in Holland, For more than twice the num-
ber of the present inhabitants of these Islands, with a
fair suficiency for every one who is industrious, eco-
nomical atd prudent; and for the young, belt le
they should labour ; for the aged, when they should
rest from-their labours of half a century.
When the difficulty of the passim' hour is referred
to, let it be remembered that at thissime 281ba. of ex.
cellent potatoes can still be had for Is. W. so that
good food is not -yet difficult to procure. The
stout hearts and nobles courage of maay of the
brave men of Salamanca and Trafalgar*. Waterlro
and Algiers, were nourished sutsitfMmedon the sus-
tenance of this good root, now iwinlah pseelleace of
(pear and great abundance in thissestropolia.
