Education of the Agrioulturalist.

No man is so high as to be Independent OF
the success Of this great interest; no man is
so low as not to be affected by its prosperity
or decline Agriculture feeds us; to great
degree it clothes us; without it we could not
have manufactures, and we should not have
commerce. These all stand together like pill
lars in a cluster, the largest in the center, and
that largest is agriculture. We live in a
country Of small farms and freehold tene-
ments; country in which men cultivate
with their own bands their own fee-simple
acres, drawing not only their subsistence,
but also their spirit Of independence and
manly freedom from the ground they pillow.
They are at once its owners, it's cultivators.
and its defenders. The cultivation of the
earth is the most important labor of men,
Man may be civilized. in some degrees, with
out great progress in manufactures and with
little commerce with his distant neighbors :
hut without cultivation of the earth, he is, in
all countries, a savage. Until he gives up
the chase, and fixes himself to some place
and seeks a living from the earth, he is a
roaming barbarian. When tillage begins.
other arts follow. The farmers therefore are
the founders of human civilizations Daniel

Tney spread their arms as they would ask

For simple wants alone are theirs,
The pure and common, too
The bounty ofreftsshns airs.
The gift Of liquid dew.
And they return, for every ray,
FAgayer smile and look;
And greeuiy q the tear-drops play,
The murmur of the brook;
As thus our thoughts away they lure,
Where woods and waters CLEAN,
And mountain airs are strong and pure,
And sing the bird and stream.

One Sort of Farmers.

Hon. j. r.. WILLIAMS, President of the
Michigan Ag. College, in his inaugural adj
dress, thus alluded to class of farmers who
are quite too numerous in various parts of
the country:
Pass along any great thoroughfare, and you
will soon come to a farmer who yards his cat
tie in the public highway, wastes the manure
which should fertiize his fields, and allows
the public to thread their breakneck passage
among them. The next, prehaps, feeds his
corn whole, and loses third Of its nourish-
ment Another deprives his pigs of light,
and their growth stops. Another allows
pestilential gases, generate under his barn, to
be inhaled by bis stock. Another allows his
cattle to drink out of mere mud holes, instead
of pure water. Another allows his sheep in
winter to 60 without any water at ALL The
next exposes his calves and colts to the win
try storms, thus arresting their growth, while
it would absolutely cost less to keep them
growing and housed. The next has, perhaps,
not fit tool wherewith to work efficiently on
his whole farm. Another sows poor or mix
ed seed, or not alfenough, and as conce-
quense reaps half crop. The next plows
his land but three or four inches deep. He
has little faith in deep blowing and thorough
pulverization, but has full faith in the signs
Of the zodiac, the moon and luck. He be-
lieves in good luck while putting in the seed,
and has realizing sense Of i'll luck in har-
vesting, costly experience in both theory and
practice.
l could extend this list of practical error
to an indefinite length. Such facts prove,
that instead Of less, the farmer has more to
learn practically about his business than any
other man in the world In fact, one-third
of the industry and energies Of the farmers
of our country, are literally wasted in con-
sequence Of ignorance, and defiance of all
rules of thrift and economy. The same reck-
l6sSaess among men in other pursuits, ,eould
result in Immediate bankruptcy and starco-
ton. -.---

Training Steers.

BY far the hest time to train Steers is
when they are calves, the first winter. A
person can then manage them with ease. and
put them under good discipline, and they
win never forget it. Let the training be done
by person Of discretion, and not allow boys,
Who were never trained themselves to do this
BY way Of frolic.
