HOW AGRICULTURE MAY BE I'M
PROVED

One of the best agricultural addresses of the
past season (says the Country Gentleman) is that
of Hon. L. Chandler Ball, before the Hoosick
(Town) Agricultural Society. 1t discusses the
question-"How shall the necessary conditions
to further agricultural improvements be secured,
and farmers take the rank, exert the influence,
and receive the honors to which, by their contri-
buttons to social order, and the welfare of the
State, they are entitled" He lays down the
following propositions and to their calculation the
address is devoted:
l. By adopting higher standard of education,
both general and professional.
9 By more thorough cultivation of the soil,
by which its fertility shall be increased, and per
manently maintained.
g. By the more general introduction of improved
implements of husbandry, by which farm and
household labor may be more easily and economi-
caly performed.
f. BY improving the breeds of domestic stock,
and rearing only those animals which are tho best
of their respective kinds.
s. By growing only those roots, grains, grasses
and fruits which are the most nutritious and the
most productive,
6. by pursuing that particular branch of hus
bandry which gives the strongest probabilities
of success; having reference to climate soil, mar
kets, and amount of foreign and domestic competi
ton.
BY making the business of farming attractive
to educated men, and to the farm house and all It's
surroundings pleasant to refined taste and cult
waited manners

marked the Spring as she passed along,
With her eve of light and her lip of song;
While she stole peace DER the green earths breast
While the streams sprang out from their icy rest
The buds bent low to the breezes sigh,
And their breath went forth to the scented sky;
When the fields looked fresh in their sweet repose
And the young dew slept the newborn rose

Poured Joy over all that he looked uPoni
His glance was cast like a gift abroad,
Like the boundless smile of perfect GOD.

Over rich dark woodlands their shadows went,
As they aoated in light through the armament
The scene was changed 1t was Autumn's hour;
A frost had discOlored the Summer bower;
The blast walled sad mid the cankcred leaves,
The reaper stood musing by gathered sheaycs;
The mellow pomp of the rainbow woods
Was stirred by the sound of the rising floods
And knew by the cloud, by the wild winds strain,
That Winter drew near, with storms, again
The mountain arose with its lofty brow,
While its shadow lay sleeping in wales below
The mist like garland of glory lay,
Where its proud heights scared in the air away;
The eagle was there his tireless wing,
And his Shrek went up like Offering;
And he seemed, in his sunward flight, to raise
a chant of thanksgiving, hymn of praise.

With its blue and unsearchabe mysteries,

BY babbIing brooks where the bust at rest,
And the wild-brd dreamed sweet on his downy nest

The strong trees groaned in the sounding blast;
The lightning burst forth on its fearful way,
While the heavens were light in its red array

Can the grow dim by his highest breath?

YELLOW CORN,

The Board of Trade of Norfolk call tlfe attention
of Farmers to the following Important Suggestion,
The whole region of country from Cape Breton
down to Connecticut and New York, prefer the
pure yellow to any other description of corn. As
yellow corn brings, as general thing, from three
to five cents more than mixed or white would not
our farmers (now that the season for planting is
advancing) find it to their interest to take this
matter into consideration and plant either pure
white or pure yellow? Vessels occasionally arrive
at Norfolk from the West Indies to load with pure
yellow, and this trade has increased much of
late years.
