lsure, systematic attempt ought to b
made, from early infancy, to rouse to &C
tion the languid faculties ofthe latter; Will,
no pains ought to be spared TO, mod
t crate and give tone to the activity of ,ht
, former. Instead of this, however, the pre-
maturely intelligent child is generally sen
to school, and tasked with lessons at ar
unusually early age; while the healthy bu
more backward boy, who requires to be
stimulated, is kept at home in idleness,
perhaps for two or three years longer,
merely on account of his backwardness.
A double error is here committed, and the
consequence to the clever boy is frequent
ly the permanent loss of health and of his
envied superiority ofintellect.
In youth, too, much mischiefis done by
the long school hours, and continued ap-
plication of mind, which the present sys-
tenn of education requires. The law of
exercise, that long-sustained action ex-
hausts the vital powers of an organ, applies
equally to the brain as to the muscles; and
hence the necessity of varying the occu-
pations Of the young, and, allowing fire.
quent intervals of active exercise in the
open air, instead of enforcing the contin-
ued confinement now so common. This
exclusive attention to mental culture fails,
as might beexpected, even in its essential
object; for experience shows that, with a
rational distribution of employment and
exercise, child will make greater pro-
gress than in double the time employed in
continuous mental exertion. If the human
being were made up Of nothing but brain
and nervous system, it would be very we'll
to content ourselves with sedantary pur-
suits, and to confine education entirely to
the mind. But when observation tells us
that We have numerous other important
organs Of motions, sanguifcation, diges-
ton, circulation, and nutrition, all deman-
ding exercise in the open air as essential
both to their own health ana to that of the
nervous system, it is worse than folly to
shut our eyes to the fact, and to act as
five could, by denying it, alter the consti-
tuition of nature, and thereby escape the
consequences of our misconduct.
Reason and experience being thus set
at naught both by parents and teachers,
in the management ofthe young, the lat
ter naturally grown up with the notion that
no such influences as the laws Of organi-
zation exist, and that they may follow any
course oflife whicq inclination leads them
70 prefer, without injury to health, provi-
ded they avoid what is called dissipation.
1t is owing to this ignorance, that we find
young men of a studious or literary habit
enter heedlessly upon an amount of men,
tai exertion, unalleviated by bodily exer-
else or intervals Of repose, which is quite |
incompatible with the continued enjoy
ment of "a sound mind in sound body. !
Such, however, is the effect of the total
neglect of all instruction in the laws ofthe
organization during early education, that
it becomes almost impossible to warn an
ardent atudent against the dangers to which
he is exposing himself, and nothing but
actual experience will convince him OF the
truth.

SURFACE MANURING.
From the Farmers Register


Until very lately, the opinion was very
general, if not universal, that fermented ma
nures should be turned under with the plough
as soon as put on the land !; and that other.
wise their value would be much impaired, if
not totally lost by evaporation. This was
thought especially necessary, if the manure
used was rough or halfrotted.
Ihave thought much on this subject and
for the last twenty years marked the effects
ofinanure in all its various modes of appll-
cation, both on my own farm and on my
neighbeurs'-and now propose TO give you
the results of my observation, leaving it to
persons more learned than myself to recon.
Gle these results to the principles Of philo:.
sophy. Fifteen or twenty years ago, l.
observed an old man ofgood practical sense,
and successful as farmer, carting manure
out in the month of July, on field intended
forindian corn the next year:this was spread
as fast as carted, and remained in that stu.
alton until spring following. He justified
this practice by a perfectly unanswerabe
reason, viz. that experience had taught hp,
that both his crop and his land were more
improved by the use of his manure IN that
way, than any other he had tried: The
confidence had in the integrity and good
sense of this old gentleman induced me to
make repeated experiments on this subject,
nj Of which have been decidedly favorable
to ton dressing, or surface manuring, and
proved to my entire satisfaction, "that ma
nure. when in contact with the earth, does
not loose its strength by evaporation" This,
Twas exceedingly 10th to believe, and lmade
many efforts to. account for the factVtor
that could not doubt and at length came
| to the conclusion that the chemical affinity
between the parties ofmanure and the earth
was too strong to be overcome by the power
of evaporation and that the apparent eVaP.
Grafton is nothing more than the passing OF
of the water, which had been contained II
the manure. Whether this is so or moi,
am sure do not know. But do know
that in the many different experiments l have
made. both the land and the crop are NOR
benefited by the application otmanure on tn
land, than by turningit under the land;
hope young farmers, who are not yet wedde'
to any set ofopinions, will be induced "a
lcastj to make the experiment.
Not having fame as a farmer 70 sh,,
weight to my opinions, shall sign my myse'

VALLEY OF VIRGINIA, 5th March, !
1886,
Dear SIR
With some Limitation, it is confessedly
an axiomic truth, that he who, by properly
directed effort, becomes the instrument of
causing two blades of grass. to spring IN
placeof one, or, in any way multiplying
the available means OF sustenance-food
or raiment; is regarded as one OF the
greatest temporal benefactors of his race.
Believing in common with compara-
lively small number q am sorry to say,)
of the American people, that an extended
field is now certainly open in nearly all
ATTITUDES of this widely extended country,
for individual enterprise and emolument
in the Silk Culture, have taken the liberty
for the want of better subject, to ad-
dress you briefly within the limits of
single letter, few conclusions which have
been arrived at on this subject by extend
ed trial, in the experience of, gentlemen
both in the Eastern and middle States.
write you with the more willingness
on this subject, because l recollect to
have heard your favorable expressions
respecting this branch of national ,nde-
pendence and profit-and believing, iurth-
er, that there are few in my adopted State
who have the means more at disposal to
take the lead, by introducing Immediately
the Morus Alba and NJ. Multicaulus, or
true Chinese Mulberry tree; and who
would become the organ with more viii
lngness, Of widely disseminating know
ledge to our fellow-citizens in the West,
