Electricity and Agriculture.

Much has been recently said and written upon
the remarkable influence of the electrical fluid
when brought to bear upon growing vegetables
but we have no were seen the process SO simply
eucidated, aud its results so encouragingly re.
allied, as in the experiment Of which we subjoin
the details.
The report whence these facts are taken was
made to the Polytechnic and Geological Society
of the West Riding of Yorkshire. 1t will be re-
marked that this principle is upon the free cleo
tricity Of the atmosphere-a power all may use
and not, as in some experiments made among
us, through the intervention of the galvanic bat
terry.
DR.. Forster, of Findrassc House, near Elgin,
having made an experiment on field of barley,
the result was thus reported TO the society
"Dr Forster had thrashed, weighed and mea-
sured his electro cultured chevaler barley, and
the product was the enormous quantity of l0i
bushels, or thirteen quarters per acre The
tail corn was now measured, and each bushe
weighed 5il lbs The weight of the straw wa:
0 300 lbs per acre. The cost ofthe electric ap
paratus is H. per acre, which will last for twen
ty years.

lie is. at this time, transporting large armies |
of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of
death, desolstion, and tyranny, already began, |
with circun stances of cruelty and perhdy
scarcely paralced in the most barbarous ages,
and totally unworthy the head Of a civilized ma
tion.
lie has constrained our 'tlow-ciizens, taken
captive on the high seas, to bear arms against
their country, to become the execntioners OF
their friends and bre,hern, or to fall themselves
by their hands
He has excited domestic Instructions n
nongst us, md has cndeavoreG to bring on the
inhabitants Of our frontiers, the mercllcss Indian
savarcs, whose known rule Of warfare is an un.
distinguished destruction Of oil ages, sexes and
cond,t tona
In every stage of these expressions, we have
pettioncd for redress, in the most humble terms;
our repeated petitions have been answ ered only
by repeated injury. A prince whose character
is thus marked by every act which may define
a tyrant is unfit to be the ruler of free people.
Nor have we been wanting in attention to
our British bre'hcrn. We have warned them
from time to time, of attempts made by their
legislature, to extend an upwarrantable juris-
diction over us. We have reminded them of
the circumstances of our emigration and settle
ment here. We have appealed to their native
justice and magnanimty, and we have corjured
them by the tes of our common kindred to dis
avow these usurpa,ions, which inevitably inter
rupt our connexions and correspondence They.
too, have heen deaf to the voice of Justice and
consangunity. We must, therefore, acquesce
! in the necessity which denounces our separa-
| ton, and hold them as we hold the rest of man
! kind-enemes in war--n peace friends.
| We, therefore, the representatives ct the u.
nited States of America, in general congress
assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of
! the world for the recii,ude of our intentions, Do,
! in the name and by the authority of the good
people OF these colonies, solemnly publish and
declare, that these United Colonies are, and OF
right ought TO be free and ind, pendent states
! That they are absolvcd from oil allegiance to
the British crown, and that all political conney-
ion between them and the state of Great Brit
ain is, and ough, TO be, totally dissolved aud
that, us free and independent states, they have
full power to levy war, conclude yeacr, con!rac,
alliances, establish commerce, and TO do all o
thcr acts and things which independent, state,
may OF right do. And for the support o! this de-
clarat,on, with firm reliance on the protection
of Divine Providence, We naturally plege I,

The mode in which the plot is laid ont is as

lengths OF common string lay ont the places for
the wooden pins, TO which the burird wire is at
tached tby passing through a small staple) Care
must be taken to lay the length Of the wire due
north and south by compass, and the breadth
due east and west, THIS wire must be placed troni
hco 10 three inches deep in the soil The lines Of
the buried wire then completed The sns.
pen9ed wire must be attached and in contact with
the buried wires at both of its ends. A wooden
pin with staple must therefore be driven in at
A, and the two poles zone II and the other Is

south the wire is placed over them and fasten-
ed 10 the wooden stake, but touching likewise al
this point the buried wire. The suspended wire
must no, be drawn too light, otherwise the wind
will break it,
The Rev w. Thorpe remarked that the ap-
plication of the electricity of the atmosphere up
pom a large scale for the purpose of agriculture
is discovery which, if successful, (and there is

straw, while he has 8, 800 ibs) The condition
Of the air in regard to electricity has evidently
most striking influence the rapidity of the
growth of plants most of which increase in the
most extraordinary manner during thundery wea-
ther Nitric acid, most important element in
the food of plants, is formed in the atmosphere
during thunder storms and at these periods fl ee
electricity in considerable quantity can be drawn
from the air by hyng kites with wire strings
There is also genera. electric current over the
earth's surface from east TO west, and both the
terrestrial and aerial currents are here collected
by the suspended and buried wires, and again alb
stracted by the moist earth and the roots, which
when wet become conductors of the electricity
The application of electricity to field culture Is
quite in its infancy, and probably many improve
ments will be discovered whether one OF more
