WoALNN SYMPATHY IN MuN MATTERS.
"A very important subject is touched by a
correspondent. of the '' Country Gentleman.'
who thus writes. "l)id it eyer occur to tho
ladies ahFf much aid rrd comfort they might
'furniIttlieir husbands and brothers by taking
an hfEtrst in their labors, inQuiring ms to tho
success Ot experiments, and manifcstug that
sympathy that we all feel the need of? Moth
ing Swcctcns toll like sympathy. The reward
OF the farmers labor is not bread alone; it
is the appreciation of Heaven, his own self
respect, and lastly, the approval of his fellow
men, and especially the better half of creation.
The tournament is not the only place whore
women can incite to action, and reward the
victor. Mould that they felt thcirpower and
cNert,d it on the farmer as well us they do on
the orator and warrior Farming can never
take It's true rank among the occupations of
cur country tllt the women properly appreciate
1t, and are as ready 10 lend. "A hand aud heart
to the farmer as to the merchant and profcs-
Slona man. The contrast between our coun-
try and England in this respect is striking.
The duchess and the queen herself take an
interest in all that relates to the advancement
OF the Farming interest, and do not feel it be-
meath their dignity to notice IN improved
Durham or South Down. Whereas asled
the daughter of one of our farmers n short
time since about beautiful calf of hex father,
and she had mover seen it.. She had heard
her father speak of such a calf, but had not
felt interest enough in it to look at it. How
can man feel much enthusiasm in his labors
when the results of his efforts arc so little an
prcciacd? The women wish us to admire
Their trim figures aud we love to 10 ii, and
to gain our admiration they contract here and
expand there, till the human form divine"

mcnts. They call upon us to admire the
chct;d seuerc of their tiny hands the love
of a bonnet and we never fail to pronounce
it beautiful, charming, perfectly bewitching;
but whcn we ask them in return to look at II
sleek Suffolk, or finely developed Short
Horn, they turn up their noses as though
these things were vulgar and be cath their
attention. We can never expect our sons to
grow up witha love of agriculture till it's mcr-
Its arc better appreciated by the mothers and
sisters"
