Snen' Of agriculture The idea is a very prop
or one. The Patent Office acts, in some de
gree, As IA bureau of agriculture, but is not
equal to tie public necessity. a regular de-
partmcut, with Secretary at the head, should
be ofgauxed for the agricultural interest,"
But, after all now would it be organized
Woud i, be placed in the hands Of men who
understand ur who regard the condition aud
tie wants of agriculture Would such a
IN IN IA PrG Mtpes' for instance, be placed at
the head If it No; some lawyer, who did
not know wheat from rye, some politician
whose qualifications consisted in the number
of votes that he could command, would he Sc.
lecteJ, and the new department would be a
new political machine
The government might do great deal fol
-riculture, by the ntroductioa Of seeds anl
animals, by the distribution Of Information ant
scientific discoveries, aud by testing processes
and experiments. With a climate stretching
through half the acrthern temperate zone, ant
bslGng the whole coutinen, we ought to mu!-
tiply our agricultural products, and to natural
ze here many for which we are dependen
u3an foreign counties, or which, from the
perishable nature, not being adapted for Sci
Transportation, We do not have at al. There
has never before been time when so mucl
attention was paid TO agricultural subjects
