4. We find evidence that the mass OF
reading men begin to think and demand
information on the subject Of agriculture,
in The fact lha, all our leading newspapers
and most influential journals, are in the
habi, of devoting part Of their publica-
tions to the dissemination ofpapers inter-
esting to the farmer.
5. In success of farming. yearly advan.
cea are making. We have this year seen
crops of the heaviest growth, where, on.
ly few years since. a quaking bog exist.
ed; better and more productive kinds of
corn and other grain have been brought
to notice; the culture Of roots has been
introduced, and found most important
auxiliary to the farmer; and more alten:
ton is paid to the cleaning Of land, and
The destruction of weed., than formerly.
6. Superior breeds of cattle, sheep
and swine have been introduced, and are
rapidly spreading over the country; in
short, the elements of individual and ma
tional prosperity were never more fully
developing themselves than now. Let the
farmer be thankful.
