| improvement than others, in as much al
they afford greater opportunity for con
templatingthe sublime and beautiful work:
of the Creator, allow greater leisure fol-
reading and study, and leave the mind
more free for reflection and meditation.
Nature next to revelation is the great
teacher. But to learn her lessons we
must be conversant with her works. We
must dwell beneath the open sky, be ia
mliIar with fields and forests, mountains
and valleys, and rivers. We must, in a
word, be where our souls shall be open to
the influence of the Divine Spirit operat-
ing through his works. No. only has
the husb anndman greater opportunities to
contemplate nature, but his mind free
from the feverish anxieties and the plans
and the calculations which absorb the
thoughts of men engaged in commerce
and IN manufactures, can exercise, its fac
uItieS with little impeachment from the la
bors in which the body is employed Be-
sides, what other profession leaves tothose
who pursue it, nearly one halt the year
for reading and study and thus for mental
cultivation and improvement?
Such, very briefly, are some of the ad-
vantages which agricultural life affords
for the better Development of human fac
uItles. And is not life which does this
life of dignity? We rejoice in the true
prosperity of our commercial and manu-
featuring interests, but at the same time 1t
affords US infinitely more pleasure to sur
vey the country, Iuxuriant with vegeta-
ton, waving with fruitful harvests, inter-
spersed with cottages and hamlets, sci off
with groves and shrubbery and flowers,
than to look upon the palaces and the equi-
page and the ostentatious wealth of the
most splendid cities. For with the coun-
try, the scene of agricultural life are asso-
ciated ideas of health, and innocence, and
man y independence, and virtue, while the
city awakens painful reflections upon the
sacrifice OF all these which IS there so oft
en- made 10 the arts and to gain -
But though true worth and virtue in the mild
And genial soil of cultivated life,
Thrive most, and may perhaps thrive only there,
Yet not in cities oft in proud and gay,
And gain devoted cities. Thither flow,
The dregs and fecuIence Of every land.
! In cities foul example on most minds
Begets its likeness. Rank abundance breeds,
ln gross and paurpered cities. sloth and lust.
And wantonness, and gluttonous excess.
In cities vice is hidden with most ease,
Or seen with least reproach and virtue taught
BY frequent lapse, can hope no triumph there
Beyond the achievements of successful flight.
Though all may notaccord with the pc
ct in the full extent ofthe sentiments which
he has here expressed, all must admi

advancement Of the nation the real great
ness, will regard not so much the growth
and population Of its cities, as they will
the state and condition of agriculture-s
profession which ministering most sue
cessfully to health, to intelligence, and tc
virtue, may justly claim to stand in the
highest grade of dignity.

Lime, its Uses and Quantity.

We are gratifed to find by recent pub
LEGATIONS, that the opinion is becoming
prevalent among intelligent farmers, that
much less quantity of lime than was
formerly useJ, is sufficient for all imme-
diate agricultural purposes. The extrav-
agant application OF it in England, where
from $50 to $40 bushels was for many
years the quantity put on the acre, served
to lead many astray here, and hence the
too free use of it. AS we have often
stated before, we believe that there is no
immediate benefit to be derived from a
greater application than so bushels to the
acre at any time: the quantity being suf-
ficient to answer all the purposes of me-
Iteration for several years; it being COM
petent to give heart and fertility to almost
any soil, and with the aid of a clover lev
to push it, if originally thin soil, beyond
It's primitive state of fertility if fifty
bushels then will answer, much of the
objection against lime on account of its
heavy cost is removed, and the ability to
use il is increased fifty per cent, and
instead of lining one acre, the farmer
may lime two, an object of high impor

Connected with the use of lime, there
is one fact which we desire most sincerely

THAT it should never be applied witheu

upon clover leys, it may be most adran

THE DIGNITY OF AGRICULTURE.

In some remarks which we made on this
topic week or two since, we asserted
that agriculture was more favorable to the
full and free development of all the fac
ultes than any other employment what
ever. This position, so far as it regards
the physical faculties, was, at that time,
sufficiently illustrated. In regard to the
intellectual and the moral powers, it re-
mains to be verified. 1t being once es-
tablished that it is more favorable to the de-
velopement of the body than any other
employment it follows of course, that it is
also more favorable to the mental devel,
opement, on account of the intimate con-
nexion between the body and the mind
With this inference, we think the facts &C

energy, vigor and independence of mind

SIBERIAN SPRING WHEAT.

DR.. GoodselI, of Utica, gives the result
of some experiments in the culture of the
Siberian Spring Wheat, in the Cu!tivator
of December. We extract as follows -
Monthly Gen. Far.
The first week in May l sowed SIX
bushels of clean seed upon four acres of
ground, which had lain to pasture for
four or five years, and planted with corn
upon the furrow the preceding spring
the corn gave poor return, on account
of the unpropitious season-the charac-
ter of the season past, and the condition of
the ground were both favorable-the
growth Of the crop correspondent l saw
it several times during the summer, and
was (perhaps too much) gratifed with the
prospect ofthe final result. was at the
farm about TIE middle Of July, when the
process of vegetation was in its pride, and
the kernel in that stage which the farm
ers denominate the milk; cloud came
over the field with heavy thunder, much
rain and more wind, which Frustrated the
whole crop land that in all directions.
From this disaster Occurring when in
fullest leaf and perhaps heaviest head) it
never recovered but partially. We how
ever harvested some of it with the cradle,
but much more with sickles, and with all
sad and wastetul gathering necessarily
resulted, and from its long PROSTATE con.
dilion, much of 1t over the whole field was
shrunk more or less, according to the de-
gree of prostration. From waste and
shrinkage I apprehended we could not
have suffered less than ten per cent loss
! besides it was all threshed during the
rainy season of the last week in October
and the last week in November, and the
first week in November, by which wesuf
fered some further loss; and yet amid al
these drawbacks, we obtained between
thirty-six and thirtv-seven bushels to the
acre. The seed, when sowed, was re
markably clean, berry full and perfectly
dry, and weighed sixty-eight pounds t.
the bushel. So much for the productive
ness.
By way of experiment as to time o
sowing, and different strengths of soil,
reserved small quantity of seed, anc
sowed one par: of it the middle of May
on the side of my pea-feld, on land origin
ally good, but much exhausted by at leas
ten years tillage, without a holiday
This was fair growth, bright straw, an
fair berry, and was, l should Judge, equa
to twenty-four bushels to the acre.
The remainder of tie seed | sowed ad
joining my white bean crop, on land nc
long in tillage, but naturally thin and IN
productive. The straw grew well, and
began to think the Siberian wheat woul
grow on any soil, and might be sowed {
any time, but at the harvest was correct

tally destitute of lustre, and the heads wer
poorly filled, and kernels badly shrunk
