AGRICULTURAL.
From the Southern Plunter.
Agricultural Aphorisms.

Agricultural Aphorisms.
Annihllate the implements Of husbandry
which have been brought into existence IN
the course of a few hundred years, and the
recollection of their uses, and starvation
would be the consequence. So in few
hundred years from this time, the then
inhabitants Of the earth would starye on
the practice Of our present system OF hus-
bandry.
We are all born in sight Of the mountain
Of plenty, and all desirous of climbing TO
its summit; but let me tell you, that yo,
can only do this by holding on to apfough
or hoe handle. If you attempt TO climb up
by any other means, you wilIsurely tumble.
He who never attempts to climb up this
mountain is brute, he who attains half
way, is man, and he who mounts the sum.
init, is hero.
With him who has "learned enough,'
lclaim no kin; nor will keep his COM
pany
Nature works for the agriculturist while
he is sleeping; who else can claim the
benefit?
Equally silly is he who is killing his
land to fill his purse, with him Who killed
his goose to get the golden egg. We learn
not so much by our own experience as by
the experience of others; and it is much
easier 10 procure this by reading than by
travelling.
He who seeks more light the more he
finds, and finds more themore he seeks, is
worthy 10 be called sage.
You never saw vulgar character
disinterestedly sensible of the value Of
time.
Neatness begets ordor.
He who assumes the air Of patronage,
should know, that, unattended by delicacy.
his services are affronts.
Prejudice and conceit are the ofsprlngs
Of ignorance, and the great barriers to agri-
cultural improvement.
A cent expended in money or time, in
the promulgation Of agricultural knowl-
edge, will add many dollars to the public
stock.
Those who exert themselves in the diffu-
sion Of agricultural knowledge, receive the
appreciation of all the real friends Of their
country.
Nothing Injuries agriculture more than
whimsical novelties; except bigoted adhe-
rence TO old and bad habits.
Ifgou treat your land badly, it will re-
turn The compliment.
Nsver plant on foul ground to save
ploughing, or on vet ground to save
time.
The best way TO convert an agricultural
bigot, is to put good examples before him,
and be silent.
If we make large crops at the ex-
pense Of our land, II becomes every year
more evident that our apparant gain is
real loss.
Manure is to farm what daily food is
to an animal; it must be procured at any
sacrifice.
1t is necessary often TO be reminded Of
what we already know.

Maxims and Precepts for Young
Farmers.

lst. Love not money for its own
sake; still less for the power it gives
you crafty selfish and sinful passions.
But fail not to regard it as the most
efficient means to accomplish all be
nevolent purposes. You will thus
make it blessing instead Of curse,
both to yourselves and others.
Cd. True economy consists not SO
much in saving money, as in spending
it when made solely and jud,ciously for
purposes really useful. This annual
ly increases your profits, instead Of
diminishing or keeping them station.
ary.
Sd. Avoid debt as you would pes,
thence, for it humbles, debases, and
degrades a man in his own eyes;
subjects him TO insults and persecu-
tiens from others; but still worse, it is
a perpetual temptation, however anx.
iously resisted, to fraud, falsehood,
and 'heft--nay, not unfrequently, TO
despair and selfmurder.
4th. To take advantage in bar
gain is virtually to make money out of
another's pocket, who is not aware Of
it. Worldlings call it 'fair play,' but
honest men call it itscheating and swim.
ding
5th. The only just means Of increa-
sing wealth, are constant industry
true economy Of time as well as mon
ey--well directed labor, and the reg
ular application of a portion of our
profits to increase our capital.
9th. Never expect your land to
give you much if you give them lille;
nor TO make you rich ifyou make them
poor. Therefore, always manure them
to the full extent your means, and
they will make you ample returns
IN rapidly increasing productions.
7th. Economy, not less than human"
'ty, requires you to keep all your far
ming stock in thriving condition, for
working animal in good order will
DO much more work, and eat less
than poor one while the rest Of
your stock well kept, will yield more
OF every thing, than double their num-
ber if half starved, as such anipals of
ten are.
SIh. To Save at the spiggot and let
out at the bung,' will soon empty the
highest hogshead; so will economy in
small matters and waste in large ones.

Raise Every Thing.

Every farmer should make it rule
to purchase nothing that he can raise
or make on farms. There can be no
higher evidence Of an Improbable
farmer, than to sec him purchasing his
pork, his beef, his horses, his corn, his
flour. He should be ashamed to have
it said that he is purchaser of any Of
those articles. lfhe thinks it cheap
er to purchase than TO raise, it is only
additional evidence of his folly. If
we look through the district for our
best farmers, we shall find them selling
instead of purchasing those articles.

say: The weather, which short time

showers that may yet be needed for late
corn, will not, we think, be in the least
detrimental to cotton.

We notice many accounts from various
sections of the country, where cotton is
made, and all are of a tendency to war
rant the belief that the cotton crop will not
yield as much as was expected some time

From the Ohio Statesman.
The Right of Navigating the Columbia River,
Secured FOREVER to the HudSOnS Bay

Company, by the Recent Oregon Treaty.
Much has lately been said respecting
the time for which the right of navigating
the Columbia has been conceded to the
Hudson's Bay Company. Some contend
ed that the privilege will expire in seven
teen years-on what authority, we are not
advised; while others assert that it is with
out Limitation, and is secured to the Com
pany, and those British subjects who may
trade with it foreUer. The latter are right
for the simple reason that the charter OF
the Hudson's Bay Company provides that
it shall exist forever, as will appear from
a perusal of the following paragraphs, fur
nished US by western gentlemen of the
