perfect growth. But, however valuable
this discovery is, the grand art remained
where it was. 1t is tlling the soil. By
deep and frequent plowings, by narrowing
and hoeing, the soil obtains IRON the mex
haustible resource OF the atmosphere, lis
elements, IFS dews and rains, the everlast-
ing renewal of fertility. No art vii ever
render this constant stirring Of the soil IN
necessary Mans labor is bound to be
forever mixed up in the products of agri-
culture. Balm says that agriculture is a
manufacture-that the the yield of the
earth is almost without preparation fit for
consumption. This is true Of almost eve-
ry fruit. II is so true, that tothe best spe
cimens of Natures own confectionery in
the fruit line, nun can scarcely do any
thing to alter ii for the better.
The products OF The farm are honest.
Who could forge a hushel of wheat? an OK?
strawberry? Perfect from the hand OF
God, they cannot be forged by man.
Their profit, Balm says, is direct, for eve
ny seed you plant you have many in re-
turn.
What interest have you like that from
pound of turnip seed giving you twelve
hundred bushels of turnips?
We rejoice to see so great Il number of
the best men of our country earnestly en-
gagged in the cause of agriculture. On
such men and their wel.uIled farms; on
such men, of temperate and vigorous bo-
dies; on such men, of calm, cool heads,
the vast fabric of this republic rests Sc.

PAPER. FirSt-From. policy and a due
regard to their own interests. As the cul-
livators of the soil, it is right that they
should reap the benefit, when from the nu-
merous causes of fluctuation in markets,
the price Of produce is raised above its or
binary value. Bur is this often the case
Do those who, by the sweat of their brow,
have sowed and reaped and gathered in the
golden harvest, profit by increased price OF
-four and other grains! On the contrary,
is not IN nine cases out of ten, the fortunate
Spectator, who, by watching the foreign
markets, and by his knowledge of affairs
at home, steps in before the farmer, and
coolly pockets all The gains? The latter,
at home by his fircside, destitute OF the I'M
portant information which so small sam
as two or three dollars might procure fol
, him, if expended on good newspaper
sells his wheat at the usual price, little
dreaming how mneh he is losing by the
Bargain, while the wiser SPECTATOR makes
snug little fortune $4,000 10 $4,000
; IN day. Year after year has this beer
the case, and yet how few of the farmers
in our wheat growing countries have pro
) flied by by their dear bought experience
so as TO avail themselves of the change:
