THE American Agriculturist, of New
York, published by Orange Judd, is one
of the indispensable papers to every good
farmer. 1t begins the year with splendid
number from which we quote its opening
address:
"Thankrul for the past hopeful for the
future. This is our feeling in commencing
the first number of the new volume OF the
American Agriculturist for the year 1873.
"There is at the present time wide
spreat dissatisfaction among farmers IN re-
gard to the condition and prospects OF our
agriculture. High wages, exorbltant trelgh,ts
and low prices for our products have de-
pressing effect. Many farmers think we
shall never see good times again. They
are proposing all sorts of remedies-some
good and some bad. What we propose to
do, and to recommend the farmer readers
of The American Agriculturist to do, IS to
stick to the farm. The darkest hour OF the
night is often Just before daybreak. Agri-
culture will be as profitable in the future as
in the past-and, we believe, more SO.
Let us keep at work. Let those of us who
are poor cut down expenses as much
as possible, buying nothing we
can get along without. Let US take good
care of the stock this winter, and get
everything ready for vigorous push at
farm work in the spring. Now, at the
commencement of new year, let us
make up our minds to be better men and
better farmers. We all ought to know our
weak points. There is occasionally lar,
mer who is SO excessively systematic and
orderly that he does little else than put
teri He has no disposition to undertake
big Job and put it through. Others like
nothing but steady work. They would
rather build fence round twenty-acre
lot than stop to pick up few rails that
have blown off. A good farmer must have
both dispositions. He must push forward
the large jobs and attend to the little ones
at the same time. He must be systematic
and orderly. In short, he must think as
well as work."

CARNATIONS IN VITAL MECH ANIsM.
Species in regard to animal forms simply
means that one family differs from anoth-
er in respect to the external form rather
than internal structure. Thus there are
hundreds of distinct species of birds for
example. They all have wings, eyes, and
feathers, yet they are not alike in their
mechanism. There are numerous families
of quadrupeds, all different, hence the ma
turalist describes them as different species.
The gradations in nature are marvellous.
Melger, a learned entomologist, has collect
ed and described 5000 species Of flies,
which were collected within ten miles of
circumference. More extraordinary still
81, 900 species of insects have been discov-
cred in Europe that prey upon wheat.
Five large volumes have been published in
Germany on insects that forage on forest
trees
