All are willing to promote the cause OF agriculture
in our State and country. Most are ready TO lend an
active cooperation, and all are cheerful to see accom-
plisled any valuable Improvement IN this great branch
OF productive industry. The difficulty hitherto has
been in adopting any general plan to effect tins des!ra-

has been awakened to the subject, arbitrary, and i'll
many cases visionary experiments have been iutrudu-
ccd, based upon no philosophical investigation OF cause
and effect, but upon some accidental tnul, by u single
individual, OF some novel mode of culture, which, UNI
der the circumstance attending the experiment, has
met with success. This single experiment, without
an inquiry into, or a knowledge of tn" caus, which, in
thc given case, has secured the successful results, is at
once recommended as AN l'!inIi'Ie ru!c, OF h1sG"IldI!'
