Without entering into the vexed question Of
tariff We ask every man tolook steadily at this state

Without pretending to any particular hniliari

suppose that these excessive importations result
from syros5 fraud on the part of importing mcr-

Agricultural Geology-NO. 1.

No class of the community have an equal interest
in geology with farmers No science is SO inter
esting to farmers geology in connexIon with
chemistry. The two sciences cannot be separated
and Justice done to either While the elements oil
our globe especially of soils require chemical tests
to determine their character, these very elemens
are absolutely essential for experiments to deter
mine the fundamental principles of chemistry.
1 Oxygen, the most powerful chemical agent IN
creation, is also the most abundant material In
! rocks and soils. The an element, the other
n agent alike essential to each other, and
both indispensable, at the foundation of all agri-
cultural science.
a knowledge Of each is as feasible il s import
ant. entirely within the comprehension OF child
six years OIL. Each is science of facts more than
Of abetract rcasoning-of facts too, equally in
strnctlvc and deli ghttul to every young mind.
Take an example, The child has placed before
him two glass tunblers the one containing quartz.
the other lime or sand and chalk. The name OF
each is Of course, readily learned as the name
of iron, lead, gold, tree horse, or any other OBJ
ject in nature or art Into each tumbler is poured
some sulphurc or muriatc acid. In the tumbier
of lime the pupil observes an action in that OF
| quartz no action. He is told this action is called
cfIcrvescence. He hence learns to recognise lime
and quartz and the more certainly from the recol-
lection that the etiervesces with acids and the
other does not.
Here is an example of geology and chemistry,
alike useful to the farmer and interesting to the
farmers child, any child. The same simplicity
