Our agriculture.

Nr. Edi.ar 1t is generally conceded
that farming is our most important in
teres,.s Nevertheless it is easy enough 10
see that manufactures, including the une'
chanic arts and commerce. foreign and
domestic, are Of immense Importance.
We might name other great interests,
but indeed one important TACT should be
constantly kept in view, that the several
branches OF national industry act and re-
act upon each other TO the mutual benefit
OF all.
Ii gladdens the heart of the merchant
to see the farmer bring along bis products
to exchange for his goods; and it Is so
also with the mechanic and the manu-
iacturer. And in fact. as manufacturing
snd commercial industry advances. this
gives greater demand for the products Of
the farmer.
We like to hear olpublc improvements
the extension Of railroads; but these
can never be highly successful unless
agricultural improvement can be pushed
forward.
The agricultural spirit which has begun
10 prevail OF late is \ good Omen-it
speaks OF what our country will soon be.
Let the right kind Of knowledge be dis
seminated for the people. and our Re-
public will ere long attain TO high
destiny }. +. X.

1t astonishes great many men to
notice how many more other men per.

up fences where they are not needed and
ploughing short furrows where long ones
would save vast deal OF time AMI labor,
besides avoiding the tramping of the
ground in turning. which few men know
how to avoid. The economy of time
aud labor in farming is as important "a

Tne matter should be made compulso-

II has been demonstrated repeatedly
