improve the mind and sensibEitles, beth

But time would fail to tell of what the
farmer ought to know and understand
There is no knowledge which would not
be serviceable to him. There is none
which will not elevate him in the scale of
intellectual beings: and, what, perhaps,
is more important to many, there is
scarcely a physical science which he will
not find putting money into his pocket
constantly. How many times in life
would barometer save whole harvest;
how many blacksmith's and carpenters
bills may be escaped by the humble
knowledge of the use of tools. Now, il
our farmers would become selt-instructors
and, instead of doing just as their grand
fathers did before them, they would think
and learn for themselves. No profession
would become more honorable, carry
moro weight in society, nor be more ar
IDENTIFY sought after by the active and in
telligent of all classes. Instead OF our
young men rushing from the country to
the city, the city youths would yearn to
be farmers; and instead Of the chief en-
ulation being who should save most, the
strife would be who should accumulate
the most by the profoundest experiments,
most successfully carried into practice.
By these means, farming would cease to
be the mere drudgery of Z" "dirty-handed
industry" and every operation would be-
come scientific, based on great princi-
Piles, breeding new thoughts and new
results, and ending in valuable acquisi-
tons. Instead of the poet describing the
farmer as one who
Wandered on unknowing what he sought,
And whistles as he went, for want of thought"
we should have farmers themselves dis
tinguished authors of valuable works;
scientific, at all events, if not poetic.
Some such great minds we already have
employed in farming, but unfortunately,
that is not yet the character of the class.
