highest offices under the Government and the
learned classes. The advantage is, therefore,
entirely with them, and whatever cause they
advocate will be respected by the people.
Another Important phase in this movement
is n growing desire for books of science among
the literary classes, some of whom contribute
liberally for the publication of scientific works,
and feel repaid by the honor of having their
names associated with the advancement OF learn
ing. To meet this demand for real knowledge,
the Viceroy of kiangnan is bringing out a series
of works on scientific subjects, mostly by Euro
pean authors, employing at n high salary in the
capacity of editor, n learned native who received
his instructions from English missionaries.
Among these is Euclid, with q preface by
Chinese scholar, in which he replies to the COM
mon charge that missionaries take advantage of
mathematics to propagate Christianity, byadmit-
ting the fact and setting forth the transcendcnt
value OF religious truth.
Among the recent publications i'm China is ono
from gentleman of wealth and rank, on cngi-
ncering, and another by the same on chemistry
This writer lately published an essay in Chi
ncse newspaper i'm which he discussed the scCn-
tiiiC labors of missionaries, and the advantages
and disadvantages of foreign intercourse. lie
does ample justice to the advantage derived
from the purchase of foreign arms and for the
protection which foreigners extended over the
open ports during the late rebellion i'm that
country. Yet, on the other hand, he thinks that
the advantage derived from foreign commerce
are not sufficient to make amends for the evils TO
which il has given rise But the benefits he
adds, (which we derive from the teachings of
missionaries arc more than we can enumcrate.'
This learned and noble man then rccapiWates
the publications Of missionaries on scientific
subjects, commencing with the Jesuit Fathers
two centuries ago, and coming down to those Of
the Protcstants Of the present day, and closes
with the rcmars:-"Nl these are the works of
missionaries; they are well adapted to augmcat
the knowledge and quicken the intellect of
China
This is remarkable language from Chinaman,
and what makes il more SO is the fact that he is
not Christian. Neither is he an idolatcr. He
seems to have shaken off the faith of his anccs-
tors, but is not yet prepared TO receive the
spiritual teachings of Christianity But Il great
deal has been gained by the confession of such
men that the influence of Christian mission
aries has been beneficial to the people 1t APP
pears that the opinion prevailing in China is
that the people arc ON the eve of great moral
and intellectual revolution in support of which
they bring forward saying Of one of their
sages of antiquity, that lit is the prime duty of
the sovereign to seek the renovation OF his
people,

Mental Awakening i'm China.

The NetO Highlander has an interesting article
entitled 'The Renaissance in China, from which
we have gathered some facts on the great men
tai awakening in that country. 1t was the lesson
taught them by their invaders which showed
them they had something to learn, for within
year from the close of hostities, large bodies of
Chinese troops might have been seen under for
eign drill-masters on the very ground where
they had been defeated. Arsenals, with ma
chinery from foreign countries, were at once
put in operation; one of them employing nine
hundred workmen; and navy yards were estab-
lished where the construction of steam gum
boats entirely by native mechanics is now go
ing forward. At three of the open ports they
have established schools for the study OF the
languages and sciences of the West; and in con-
nectiOn with the arsenal at Shanghai the Manda-
rims have employed three gentlemen skilled in
the Chinese language to translate works on SCI
ence and the useful arts.
1t can hardly be supposed that there is no
opposition to these Innovations the masses Of
the people are unprepared for them Their pre-
Judices against foreigners continue, and they
oppose the Introduction OF new arts and sciences
as they do new religion. Indeed these people,
VINO may be called the conservative element,

In Chicago just now, which makes lively
times in the corn market 1t seems that
nearly all the corn in store in Chicago, of the
cror of 1868, is in damaged condition from
heating, Nobody knows, for nobody will
confess how many thousand bushels are in
course Of decay and rottenuess. This state
Of things has been anticipated by your cor.
respondent, for he has, time and again in this
correspondence, called attention to the fatal
unripeness Of the corn crop Of 1868. 1t is
your correspondents judgment that one-half
of the corn crop of 1868, now on hand either
in possession Of the farmer, middleman or
Chicago buyers, is to-day in damaged or
rotten condition. Therefore, from the total
surplus Of the crop of 1865, one-half at least,
must be ruled out of any truthful estimate of
sound corn to go on the markets Of the coun-
try until the crop Of 1869 comes in.

Dam and Golf.

A writer in the American Stock Journal
furnishes some sensible and timely suggestions
as follows: While the colt is sucking, the
dam should have plenty of good wholesome
food with eight Qulrts Of oats per diem in
two feeds, which should be so placed that the
colt may eat with its dam Turn them out
as soon as the grass is large enough they
should have good shed to escape storms aud
the beating sun; il should be so arranged
that there will be no danger of hitting their
heads in passing in and out, and should have
the opening SO situated that the wind cannot
draw through il. Rather than this it should
be open on one side. The colt at six month.
old should be weaned by placing it in box
stall. Feed two quarts Of oats per day at
three feeds, varying them occasionally with
sliced carrots. In one month they may be
turned out in the lot with shelter as before
Two quarts Of oats should be placed in the
she'd equally divided, morning and evening
A trusiy person should give them the oats
Of you cannot do it yourself) az many un.
pleasant tricks are learned thus young These
feeds should continue with regularity every
day.
In the fall the colt should be taken from
grass gradually, at first only nights then part
OF the day, and 50 on until the change is made
from green to dry fodder; then give plenty
Of clean, sweet clover hay, with the same
quantity of oats as before sometimes chang.
ing them for carrots. This will be plenty
until the colt is eighteen months old, when It
may be increased to three quarts. Some
writers say, =" You should let the colt grow
thin on grass alone at three years" My ex.
perience has been to never let the colt grow
thin, always keep him growing, aud if you
have followed tae foregoing rules, using your
own judgment, you viii have colt that will
be credit to you as a breeder, and also a
credit to your pocket.

great many people, at this season of the
year, are DESTROYS to prepare nice lawn
about the house. Years ago Mr., Downing
gave directions for seeding lawns that do not
seem to be much improved upon since. He
said:
Choose, if possible, calm day, and sow
your seed as evenly as you can. The seed to
be sown is mixture of red-top (Agrostis
culgarD and white clover (TrJolium repens)
which are hardy, short grasses, and, on the
whole will make the best and most enduring
lawn for this climate. The proportion should
be about three-iourths red-top to one-fourth
clover. The seed should be perfectly clean.
Then SOW four bushels of il to the acre not
a pint less, as you hope to walk on velvet
Finish the whole by rolling the surface evenly
and neatly. \ few soft, vernal showers, and
bright, sunny days, will show you coat OF
yerdure bright as emerald. By the first OF
June you must look about for your mower"
Mr. Breck, in the journal Of agriculture,
thinks four bushels the proper amount; but
would use twenty pounds of white clover.
The red-top, mentioned by Mr. Downing, is
known as Rhode Island Bent grass, Bent
grass, improved Rhode Island rod-top, etc.

them master farmers thoroughly based in

arts to bring these powers Of observation and
reasoning to bear on important practical ques-
lions. Having learned much Of the processes
in farm work, they should be made to inyes.
tigate new processes to find the facts or fala-
