of Mr.. Skinner, the editor of the sPlough,
Tie Loom and the .4nuil" delivered before
the Bucks County Agricultural Society on
the Cd of October last. Mr.. Skinner who
has done more for the interest of the Far
mers than any other man in this country
shows most conclusively that no class of
men are more deeply interested in a tariff
for protection than the Farmers. Dema-
gogues and ignorant pretenders may preach
a different doctrine and endeavor to array
the Farmer against the Manufacturer, but
common sense and experience teaches US
that our Farmers never do better that when
our Manufacturers are most Aourishing. .a
Land, at the distance OF few miles from
New York, in West Chester county, is SELL
ing at several hundred dollars an acre, be-
cause the railroad has diminished the ex-
penditure between the consumer and the
producer, and yet that land is not now
worth as much as would be tina! of Bucks
county, if YOU had, as you should have,
consumers among yourselves. Look what
railroads have done in England, and re-
member that the road only enables the
farmer to go to market, while the mill
brings the market to his doors.
An English writer says that between
Croydon and London his attention was con-
tinually attracted by the high order and
beautiful appearance of the market gardens
through which the railway runs. This
land seven years ago was occupied as grass
land, for ordinary purposes. It's gross pro-
duce was under $40 an acre, and the rents
paid not more than Sl2 or S15. r Now
that it has been converted into market gar
dens, well grabbed and well drained, it
yields $500 an acre, and rents for S33 TO
$40. Gardening precedes farming, and is
the bes, school for teaching lessons in pfac-
tcal agriculture. It is there that men are
forced to see the necessity for thorough
draining, thorough tillagc, heavy manuring
and thorough wedding, and clean, good
seed, and that embraces nearly all that is to
be learned. rF
The same writer relates the following
anecdote: Gan agriculturist and large land
owner in passing through these grounds ex-
pressed aloud, in the railway carriage, his
