There is said to be philosophy in suck.

in tie period ofripeness--protection against
dews and ralns-manner curing-and in
housing and stacking it. Medicinal plants
contain the greatest quantity, and in the
greatest perfection, all of their peculiar
qualities at the period Of full blossom, and
this we are disposed to believe is the best
period for cutting grass for hay; for the
moment The blossoms fall the plant ceases to
enlarge, and very soon passes into the scar
aud yellow leaf"-the saccharine and mu.
claglnous portions decompose and evapo-
rate, and soon become the mere WOO " fibre
like the straw of the cereal grains.
Many persons say that Timothy should
not be cut till the seeds are fully ripe-that

true, aud the same may be said of bad bread

This has been used for upwards of 2lNO

ture has Dccn mos; attended 10. Various
crops have been sown with no other view
than to be buried in when fully grown, to
render the soil fit for crops of more impor-

green state, acts more or less as fertilizers,
some probably more than others. acc ordlng
to their power Of dldining organic matter
from the air and and inorganic from the

the soil to be covered with weeds, providing
they are not allowed to seed, and that they
be dug into the ground instead of being

IPfoHess Is direct robbery to the SOIL
Green vegetable manure is most effective
on Ight, sandy soils, and least so on peaty
lands. 1t IS surprising how much valuable
manure IS wasted in gardens, by carrying
1t to the compost heap instead of at once
buryng 1t in the soil and how much is lost
or neglected in woods and waste places,

History of Agriculture.

Agriculture engaged the attention OF the
Romans theoretically as well as practlcally
Their time was OWED between husbandry
and war. In the early days ofthe republic
their greatest men employed themselves
alternately in the one and the other; Oln-
cinnatus was called from the plough to I'LL
the Office Of Dictator
Amoung the Romans the OK was the Prlh-
cpaI beast of burden; and there are many
directions for breeding, working and ieeu,
inc this animal, to be found in the WORKS OF
Pliny. Cato, aud others. Bees were also
| heidi in great estimation amoung the homalls
and directions for their management may
be found amoung the writers above mention
ed, With regard to the implements OF nus
bandrv used by the Romans, we canno,
speak definitely; but it is certain they useG
DDourhs Of some sort, both with mound
boards and golfers, and with out them -
! pIny speaks of r2aping maching that was
nrooell ed by by an OK. Their gram was
beaten out by fails or trodden by cattle
Having was performed in much the same
manner as at present.
On the decline of the Roman empire ag,
rcnture shared the fate OF all arts, ana
during the long ages Of anarchy and bar
barism which succeeded the fail of this en-
pirp. and continued to be neg ected until
the introduction eff the feudaI system in the
fifteenth century. This gave every man a
distinction and rank according to the guam
tity Of land he occupied. Nothing con-
trbued more to give an importance to ag
ricultural pursuits than the introduction o.
This SYSTEM which gave the tenant that cul
tiyajed the soil, as we'll as the landlord who
owned the land, political privileges thai
were enjoyed by no other member OF the
community.
England has, for the last fifty years done
much for the advancement Of agriculture
and her efforts have been crowned with
success, as her agricultural productions
have more than doubled during thatperIod
The agriculture of the French suffers III
common with every other species OF indus
try. from the effects Of bad government
Since the Revolution, they have made
some advancement bat are still far behind
Great Britain, Notwithstanding they have
a climate and soil adapted to every yarle-
ty Of growth. In all parts of the CONT
ncut of Enrope increasing attention is be-
ginning to be paid TO this subject In
Lombardy and Flanders it is carried to the
highest state of improvement,
