-Ihis l. a big~utject, aud we can only
briefly deal with IL now What we say,
however, is prompted by an earnest desire
for the progress of agriculture aud the
good Of those engaged 10 it. That the
farmer should know his duty will not be
disputed, and that to fully do i, is only
being true to his own interest Is equally
true. Que OF the most important duties
Is TO keep hin,eIi posted In all matters
pertaining to his calling. If his early
education was liberal, he entered upon
tho active du,iee 5f life with mind we'll
stored with theoretical propositions and
well prepared TO profit by experience. If
not, he may do much 10 retrieve his early
loss by o diiigent improvement Of leisure
hours. II, however, he Is NJ circumstsn-
evd as TO be too busy or too old to learn,
h (Which We don't believe ever happens
he should see that bis children have all
the advantages OF education to be had.
The merchant who understands the re-
sources Of the country, the condition Of
foreign trade, and the state OF the mar-
kets. possesses great advantages over him
who Is ignorant Of these matters. Ii is
none the less true that the farmer who
understands his business ia all the de-
partments and relations is more successful
than him who Is ignorant.
Farming is not ouly profession, but
Of ull the professions IL embraces the wi.
dcst range OF scientific propositions and
practicai facts. aud sifords the widest field
for the exercise Of the phiiorophic aud
analytic mind. Instead of the brightest
boys being sent TO medical college for a
field worthy Of their talents, they should
be educated in the science and instructed
hpractcolIy in the duties of agriculture
1t is prominent duty oil the farmer to
so pursue his calling as to inspire res
pect Tor il in the minds Of HE children,
and SO train them that they shall be able
TO pursue it successfully, which can only
be effected by aysiliug himself Of every
advantage reeulting iron the discoveries
of. science aud the accumulated experience
Of the past. This will at once strip farm
ing of almost every disagreesble feature.
aud cloIhe il with attractions possessed
by no other business. As ut present con-
Quoted, there is large amount Of very
disaereeable labor required to be perform
ed ia farming, aud il Is mainly to this fact
that we owe the deserlion Of that business
for others by country boys. Science and
human skill must relieve this, and un.
doubtedly will, ii the farmer will avail
himself Of their aids North Western

Planet DESTROYED.

The belief that this world is ultimately
TO be destroyed by Ere is supported by the
discovery that such fate has betalen
larger planets than ours. French astron-
omers assert that no fewer than fifteen
hundred fixed stars have vanished from

dred years. Tycho Brahe gives an inter.
esting account Of brilliant star Of the

planets may have owed allegiance, finally
departed and became invisible forever.
