Gus course is being pursued towards lands once
fertile, and it will surely bring the disastrous
results. BY chemical analysis of the soil, the
farmer can confidently determine what will be the
result OF his operations. giving lair margin for
the changes of weather and manner of putting in
his grain The mechanic can by mathematics
demonstrate the result of his calculations. The
physician can with much certainty predict the eff

judicial questions with much certainty but the
farmer knows not what the coming season may
bring forth. His profession reqlires great faith
in nature. He plows ana in the dark
and reaps he knows not why. The laws OF
nature in this respect, are as easily under
