Y THIS is pamphlet Of but l6 pages yet
We have seldom seen so much important
matter crowded into so small space. The
ultimate object is to show the Importance
ofa protective tariff to the Farmer; indeed
the author says the question Of Protection
is "preeminently Farmers question" -
The first portion is devoted to showing the
imperative necessity Of returning to the
soil some equivalent for that which is year
ly taken from it. It also. points out the
great destruction which has resulted from
a non-observance Of proper rotation Of
Crops Several pages are taken up with
extracts from the speeches and reports Of
eminent persons; showing the alarming
decrease in the productions of the older
States, and indeed of some which are com.
paratively new. From an address made by
Hon. Chas. J. Faulkner, in 1858, it iap:
pears that land in New York, which 10
ITS yielded from 20 to 40 bushels: Of
wheat per acre, in 1845 averaged but from
S to u bushels per acre! A report made
by the Secretary Of the Ohio State Board
of Agriculture, in 1860, discloses the fact
that in less than fifty years the wheat crop
has decreased In that State from so to less
than Is bushels per acre! This is truly
a subject Of momentous Importance to the
Farmers Of Minnesota. Even our match
less soil, which: without exertion, yields
from 80 to 40 bushels of wheat to the acre,
may in comparatively short time by i'm
provident, careless and extravagant cul.
ture, be reduced to very inferior standard.
To continue, year after year, draining the
soil of its "life blood"-we might say
without proper blowing, rotation, manur-
ing, etc, will ruin the fertility Of any coan'
try. We do sincerely and earnestly hope
our Farmsrs will give this matter their Sc
rious attention. Let them see that they
do not by system of ''earth-butchcring''
bring our wheat crop down to merely
nominal yield. This is not question of
the present. No diminution may be per-
ceived for years to come-the allavial de-
posits of centuries will sustain the produc-
tive power of the soil for some time, but
not forever, and when this has been ex-
hausted, and no return made, what can we
expect but a decreased and uncertain yield!
The latter portion is devoted to the i'm
portance of protection to the Farmer We
should like to at least give some extracts
from this portion, but our space torbids.
We have only to say to our Farmers that
they can procure this valuable pamphlet at
the Office Of the N. Y. Tribune, at 4 Cts
per copy; 80 cts. per dozen 50 per hun
dred; IS per thousand. When sent by
mail: one cent per copy additional is re-
quired. In this way one hundred, post
paid, would cost but So, which is but a
small sum compared to the amount Of ben
eft and information which may be derived
from the pamphlet. Several persons could
club together and send for a hundred with
but little expense to each one. -, go

her unaffected and pleasing artlessness she gained the

exceedingly and painful she uttered murmur

the progress of that fearful disease ard witnessed her
suerings and her submission without feeling that les
of patience and resignation to be learned FROM
her example. She did not murmur.-she did often, while
the lever raging enteat most pite0usy TO be taken

We believe she has gone that she is there. We believe
that He who took little children in his arms has also
ken her. and that henceorth she will be with the

Her parents though with crushed and bleeding hearts
they mourn their loss cannot but feel that they have
still great treasure Of pleasing recoections and fond
remembrauces. nay the fact that little Ia

And bade il bloom forever there.
