the importance of,his subject.
Ii is common TO say, that there has been
q change within a few years. in this re
spec, that farmers are now rapidly be-
coming convinced that there is something
to be learned from scientific investigation
this is all true 10 very great extent, and
1 will even acknowledge that in many dis.
tricis, direct encouragement TO such inves,
legations has been given. Our numerous
and flourshins agricultural societies. and
ably conducted agricultural journals. are
all SO many evidences Of advance, and of
an awakened spirit ofinquiry.
The farmers that one encounters at the
shows Of these societies, and those who
take take these journals, are, as a class,
ready TO admit that there remains much
to be done before they can be said to fully
understand even the practice Of their pro.
fession /; and also that they are prepared
to believe in the possibility Of deriving
great advantage from the labors Of scien.
iiic men.
lfall these things are so, i, may be said
why complain of the farmers why say
that they hold back in the cause Of i'm.

much force, were it not for The fact that

tience, to carry us over the iron trail made
for his particular accommodation thu ough

Keystone State. The fiery steed dashed
off at the rate Of 25 knots an hour, over
hill, dale, and river, without any Interrupt
ton of the monotonous flight of houses,
towns, and mile-posts, dashing back with
equal speed as We dashed forward, and but
for the occasional "Your tickets, Gentle

time in finding place on a North River
boat for Albany, in which had not much
difficulty. The "Isaac Newton" lay at
the wharf, ready to start at 6 o'clock. Here

pravity and meanness, publicly carried on
in an intelligent and professed honest COM
munity; Offices are openly kept, purporting
to be agencies, and pretending to sell thro'
tickets to Milwaukee or anywhere else,
when they have not shadow of right or
authority to do so, and thus are suffered
with impunity to plunder a traveller. 1

robbery, and advise them to buy their tick
