fore hun, and the great mass of farm
ers are as statlonar, in theory as they
are in practice. Nine in ten of them
believe at this moment, that book
farming is the mere useless visionary
dreaming of men that know nothing
about practical agriculture.
We would tell them that England is
the garden of Europe, simply because
almost every acre of ground is cult
waited scientifically, and on principles
which have been brought to the test
Of the most rigid and exact experi-
ment. We would tell them that New
England, of whose soil and climate
they are accustomed TO think, are con-
signed by Providence to sterility and
inciemency, is the garden of the Unit
ed States only because the industrious
and calculating people do not throw
away their efforts in the exertion of
mere brute strength-but bring mind.
and plan, system and experience, to
bear upon their hard and thanllless
soil.
On every side the passing traveller
sees rerdure, grass and orchards, in
the small and frequent Enclosures OF
lmperlshable rock, and remarks fcrtil-
lty won from the opposition of the ele-
ments and of nature. After an absence
OF ten years, on our return to that coun-
Try, we were struck with this noble
triumph conspicuous over the whole
region.
The real henefactors of mankind, as
st. Pierre so beautifully said, are those
who cause two blades of wheat to ma
ture where one did before. The fields
ought to be the morning and evening
theme Of Americans who love theil
country. To fertilize and improve
his farm, ought to be the prime tenn
poral object of every owner of the soil.
All national ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, and
wealth, may be traced to agriculture
as It's ultimate source. Commerce and
manufactures are only subordinate re-
suits Of this main spring.
We consider agriculture as every
way subsidiary not only to abundance,
industry and health, but to good mo-
rails, and ultimately even TO religion.
We shall always say and sing, IS peed
the Plough We shall regard the A
merlcan farmer, stripped to his en-
ployment, and tilling his grounds, as
belonging to the first order of noble
men among us. We shall always wish
him bountiful harvests, good beer, and
moderate use Of cider, and, if he will
rear it himself, Of the grape, but none
OF the pernicious gladness of whiskey;
and we shall only invoke upon his la
bors the blessing of God, and say OF
him, "peace be within thy walls.''
