Intelligent Agriculture.

In one of our Eastern experimental
farming institutions Professor of Agri-
culture has given the world some expert.
ments on various fertilizers tested at the
institution. We have great admiration
for this class of intelligent men, They
know very little, practically, of soil or
soil culture, it is true but every attempt
to connect brain work with hand-labor-
though the brain be in one body and the
hands on another-is so much gained to
the cause of agriculture Still it often
seems that there is a lack of judgment
about their proceedings that is remarka-
BILE. In the experiments reported by the
professor aforesaid, the figures are all in
French He tells us that so many ksl0-
grananaes of this and so many gramnes of
that were employed, and the seeds put
so many centimetres apart, and SO forth;
that no one but the few who have been
to Paree" will know what the professor
is talking about. Of course it looks like
being strikingly accurate, and it is well
to see such strictness in professedly-
scientific man; but one need not entirely
overlook the needs of the average man
in experiments of this kind, especially as
it is to be supposed that for these aver
age men the experiments were instituted.
Pounds, ounces, feet and inches are good
enough for American farmers, though to

force and arms from the capitol building,
Baxter being wholly taken by surprise.
Gov. Brooks at once issues proolsma-
ton, in which he. advises oil good citizens
to stay at home and attend to their affairs,
as their services. are not wanted. Gov.
Baxter proclaims martial law. and calls on
the people to come to arms to put down re-
bellion. Both Governors telegraph to
Washington for all, Uncle Sam replies that
he will furnish aid to neither further than
to send troops 70 keep them frs@ spilling

be induced to shed bloed on behalf of these
noble statesmen, between whom it half
with which they charge each other be true
there is not much to choose.
Baxter says Brooks has seized the reigns
Of government ii order to control the sp-
preaching, election and it is probable that
Baxter wants to hold on to them for the
same purpose. Brooks says that Mr.. Bsx-
ter may try the courts and the Legislature,
as he has been doing and see how he likes
it. Mr.. Baxter says he will maintain the
dignity of the law.
Brooks has possession Of the executive
papers and books and seal Of the State,
and is said to have the most Of the State
officers on his side, aud how the affair will
! end no mortal man can foretell. 1t is IN
Illustration Of the Office mania iu this coun-
try, and in every country for that matter
What will man not do for office, and for
power:
The history of the past is one black,
horrid record Of the struggles Of princes
and kings. OF soldiers and generals for
power. 1t has been one record Of blood, in
which the people have been made too will
ing instruments of vile, heartless. cold
blooded assassins and murderers, who have
| urged them on to do their killing for them.
The time has come when the people should
| lead and not crafty seekers Of power who
are ready to imperil the existence of the
State and the lives and property Of its citi-
| zens in order to rule.
Every State which is in the hand Of mere
place seekers is in danger Of just such
state Of affairs as now exists in Arkansas.
