A Quarterly Journal devoted TO Agriculture and
Science nj last! A work of this KIND has long been
needed and here we have il brough, out in fine stye
and with solid list of contributions embracing al
most eveIy subject Of Agricultural and Scientific in
terest The leading features OF this Journal viii be
Agricultural, and II will treat of everything which
bears directly or indirectly upon the pursuit of farm
ing 1t will advocate that system Of cultivation best
.danted IN the countrv The Fditors belieye thai
American Husbandry should differ from Engs hus-
bandry 10 many of its specific productions From
this belief they seem to think that our country is
adapted to The growth Of the iurnip and other root
crops, which The English employ so extensively IN
rearing aud iauening their cattle.
They say the American farmer is not driven TO the
use OF these walery products, and that Indian
Corn ought to be The principal food for allening our
sThe yea mays is the very prince of vegetables:
its seeds or kernels furnish 10 the live stock which
feed on it, an abundance OF oil or fact 10 line the ceIu-
la, tissue. OF fbrn enrich the blood and enlarge
and strengthen the muscles, of the phosphate OF lime
give soljdily The bones, aud indeed of all be
elementary principles requisite to the due perform
ance Of The luncliops of nutrition and lesTailpp A
field Of maize, with the TALL stems OF The plants way
ing in the gentle summer breeze, and spreading their
long pointed leaves 10 the brilliant light of an Anne
rican sky; or with the aulumnal stalks bending UNI
der the weight of the golden grain of the rjpened
ear forms glorious rural spectace and is that crop
which OF all others clothes the husbandmaG's land
scape in its richest beauty. But this plant owes all
ITS importance 10 its intrinsic value as an article Of
food; and could the English farmer grow it, his lur-
nip crop would be comparatively hut little esteemed
In this connection, we hesitate not 10 say, that we
regret that many Of our agricultural writers advocate
the culture of Tie root crops in imitation of the Eng
lsh system of husbandry in pre(e, ence to that Of
maize. winch is SO well adapted to our superior eli
