closed to us lao of vegetable life
before unknown to us, of great practi-

The lecture also strongly incites to a
careful observation of the effects of the
various modes of cultivation, and of
the implements used, and in this way
leading to more accurate knowledge of
such effects, on the various or peculiar
soils of the individual farmer, he would
become more intelligent, and therefore
more successful. He will know and
think for himself, and not require others
to think for him.
