 The subject of the annual appropriation to the State Agricultural Society has been before the legis lature for the last two three weeks and strange as it may appear there two members of the sen- ate, from the very heart of Litchfeld County, who have from beginning to end given their influence and their vote against the usual appropriation signing as a reason that " the farmers themselves were opposed to the appropriation" "and that the operations of the society da not reach the farming interest"
 That the members of tho State, as we'll as of the County Societies are the pioneers of agricultural i'm provement throughout the state does not admit of a doubt; and such an assertion botrays gross igno- rance on the part of those who made it. and the sertion too that the operations of the society do not reach the farming interest, is equally absurd.
 Since the formation of the State Society," hundreds of dolars have been paid to breeders of booded stock in Ltchfed County, which have been distrib- nted in the eastern part of the state, in Rhode Island and in some parts of Massachusetts. In pairing the stocks of cattle at state fairs. the farmers of the eastern part of the state found that so far as Devon cattle and mutton sheep were con- CeF1e0 Couuty was duFstiiCc, immediately began to purchase to supply this dis crepancy, and have continued to greater or less extent to purchase of us ever since and we have two senators, (and how many representatives } who in their superior wisdom tell by their acts, that the operations of the society do reach the farm ing interest ts
 The state of Connecticut is supposed to be in debt some fifty thousand dollars and has funds on hand amounting to four hundred thousand with which to pay their indebtedness and yet Republican leg isature has been frightened at this small debt, and have thus been induced to withhold several small appropriations from very worthy objects. It is hardly to be supposed that the members of the State S,ciety will cheerfully submit to any permanent reduction of the usual appropriation.
 It is hoped that Litchfeld County, which was first in proposing the establishment of the State Society," will not be the first to abandon it; and it is belev- ed there will not soon be found in the senate indi yduals opposing appropriation in its behalf from Litchfeld County. A REPUBLICAN,.

AGRICULTURAL PApERs-Agricultural papers are of more value for their suggestions than for positive other apparently like it. A man may be eminently successful this year raising crop by peculiar pro cess, and fail next Any great departures from the customary routine of farming are not generally very profitable. little of experiment is we'll enough, but these papers ask us to experiment too far The great necessity to all farms is manure. Manure is substantial Phosphates and superphosphates are very transient, and do hardly passing good.
 We have before us two or three agricultural pa pers In one of them, a communicated article in sists that five pecks of oats is seed enough for an acre of ground anywhere, and that the grain will fill better and be heavier It says the richer the ground the less oats and more grass seed, and the writer could never see any difference between land seeded down with rye or oats. In another paper, is an ar
 ticle contending that not less than two bushels of oats should be sown that the yield of grain is just as great, and that of straw more, and argues that the straw converted into manure and put back on the field, will more than restore it to its former richness He feeds his oat-straw to his cattle and says they thrive upon it, and adds that land when possible, should be seeded with rye. In another ar tice, the writer makes public the plan of experi- mental barn he intends to build, and goes into a long detailing of how he intends to make twice the manure, and have it much stronger, from the same number of cattle he has always kept. His theory beautiful, and we should be happy to hear of its practical workings, but fear we never shall. A good, snug way of conducting barnyard affairs is better than theoretical experiments. We remember planting some cucumber seeds once, by process which would bring that fruit on our table three weeks earlier than by the old fashioned way We
 laid the foundation of the hills with brickbats and bark. Then was put in some soil, then some lime, then some sand, and on top thin strata of chip manure. The seeds were soaked according to the prescription, in a weak solution of lime water and planted We waited three weeks for their germina- tion which did not ensue. We dug into the hills and found the seeds black and decayng. Since then we have planted cucumber seeds by the directions on the paper they come in.-Berkshire Courier.

cifc his views on the subject of the
Bible in public schools, and on that Of
Sabbath legislation, as follows. We
make brief extracts:
"There is no objection that [ can see,
to the use of the Bible in common pay
schools; but do not think it wise, best,
expedient and constitutional to force the
reading of our Bible in our free Public
Schools that are supported by
the public monies do not believe it
right under our constitution to use the
State treasury to teach any kind of re-
ligious creed or uphold any form OF
worship"
81 am opposed to any legislation about
establishing any creed or form OF wor-
ship. l do not believe we can drive men
to Heaven by the bayonet, nor make
them virtuous by legislative enactments.
Very few laws on such matters are nec-
essary. But as a matter OF police, and
for the protection of those who worship
on Sunday, some legislation isrequired. .

A Coop Excessive all like to find
excuses for the small vices or bad habits
to which we are addicted. 1t is so much
easier to excuse than to abandon them;
and then, we hate to acknowledge that
they are intrinsically, radically, wrong.
The veteran tippler, whose red face is
standing proclamation of his intemper-
ance, and whose family, perhaps, reap at
home in tears and rags the bitter harvest
of his improvidence, will tell an expos
tulating friend that alcoholic drinks are
preventive of consumption, to which
he has a constitutional predisposition.
The tobacco chewer, his mouth and
linen defled by the filthy weed, and his
nerves all shattered from the excessive
use of powerful narcotic, may urge in
favor Of his tyrannous habit that it pro-
tects him from the quinsey. His neigh
Dor who smokes the leaf, is pretty apt
to say that smoking prevents toothache
that "hell of all diseases (which formerly
kept him in continual misery, or that it
assists digestion, by afording a gentle
stimulous to the bowels and equanimity
to the mind. Then there is the class of
shutters, who take little snuff OCCASION
ally, to relieve the headache, distress
sing complaint, for which the only rem
edy, of course, is snuff
Illustrations might be multiplied, but
these suffice.
Few persons have the honesty to avow
the true reason for their attachment to
an injurious habit many really could
not if they would: The women, and
men too, who like to linger over cups of
fragrant tea, or coffee, are more honest
in this respect than the devotees of any
other appetite Or habit. They will free
ly acknowledge, that they love these Ash
attic beverages for the sensations of
cheerfulness and comfort difused by
them through the system. They boldly
urge the uecdfaiuess of stimulants, and
say they choose that one which "cheers
but not inebriates." Science comes to
their aid, authoritatively pronouncing tea
and coffee indispensable agents for the
prevention of undue physical waste. A
French chemist years ago asserted the
identity of theme and cafein, the radical
principles of the two plants, and their
great value as conservators of nervous en-
ergy. Now come other disciples of
science, who reaffirm this, and exhibit
tables of convincing experiments to
oroye that tea and coffee actually retard
the process by which the mind feeds
upon the body, and insure to both great
er endurance, inspiring thought while
an agreeable sense of physical
comfort.
And so the tea and coffee drinkers
have their excuse. But these beneh-
cent agents, these true, quiet friends
IF the poor, the weary and the anxious
minded, may become affective curses If
lsed to excess. The nervous system,
ike an electric battery, may be charged
90 high, and be shattered by the very
source of its energy. We advise no per-
son to initiate Hazlitt, the brilliant es-
;ayist and critic, who used a pound of
lea at time. He would pour upon
his mass of leaves water sufficient for a
rood draught, and as soon as the rich
aroma began to ascend would quatf the
exhilirating beverage. This was often
the source Of his inspiration, and no
doubt fastened his decease.

A COOP SUGGEsTIoN-The San An
dreas Independent recommends the use
OF indigenous shrubs for hedging, and
thinks they will succeed better in our
dry hill-sides than plants of foreign i'm
portation. A gentleman of that place in
tends planting acorns along the back of "a
wal and it tho't our native evergreen
oak will makes tough permanent fence.
There are certainly many beautiful
shrubs indigenous to California, which
WOULD prove highly ornamental if regu-
larly planted around our homes. Even
If not employed for hedging, they would
make charming enclosure by being
planted inside of fences. Some of our
native mountain shrubs are covered for
many weeks during the spring season
with snowy blossoms, which load the
air with honied odors. These may be
obtained without any expense except
that attending their transplanting, and
do not require irrigation, though that
perhaps would prolong their season of
verdure. If California residences were
surrounded by native plants and flowers,
and the cultivation of these made SUI
perior to that of imported growths, we
believe it would have tendency to in
spire the sentiment of attachment to
the soil, without which our people can
never enjoy contentment and happiness
