Agriculture at the Centennial.

The general failure of the agricultural
portion Of the centennial exhibition can no
longer be doubted or hidden from those most
interested in its success. The management
has been full of good intentions, which have
been il-carried into execution. Agriculture
has been specially marked for misfortune,
and this result may have been reached
through the selection Of managers whose
acquaintance with agricultural matters was
neither extensive or profound. The field
trial of implements came to nothing, and ex-
cept the owners Of some Of the machines
aud few specially interested spectators, no
one is the wiser for the days spent beneath
the broiling sun upon these naked and al
most bare fields. The dairy department is
most disheartening and surprising failure for
those who expected to reap some benefit for
their investments Of money and their trouble
in preparing exhibits. This, however, is a
side issue, unconnected with the main exhi-
btion, and doubtless some searching inves.
tigation will be made at the coming dairy
mems convention as to whose account the
failure must be charged to. And now, the
greatest feature of all, the exhibition Of
stock, threatens to become q total failure.
Under present arrangements, which are al
together different from those originally made
and published, there are but small hopes
that the owners Of stock will take the trouble
or incur the expense and risk of exhibiting
their valuable animals. The only induce
ments outside Of the patriotic motives or
personal pride IN their choice animals has
been removed, and besides this, the manage.
ment of the department is not calculated to
give any security that the necessary provi-
sions for the comfort and safety of the stock
will be at all satisfactory. Two members Of
the Advisory council, which was requested
to assist the managers, who were not well
acquainted with matters relating to live stock
have felt called upon to resign their honorary
office. Those two gentlemen were Messrs
Wing and Thorne, Of the state of New York
whose well known reputation as stock breed
ers will have much weight, and give much
influence to their remonstrance and protest.
1t is much to be regretted that the agricul-
tural part Of the exhibition should be doomed
to at least partial disaster; the more so for
the reason that at Vienna the agricultural
department was one Of the most interesting
and instructive features Of the exhibition
and that great hopes have been EXTENDED tina
we should greatly surpass at Philadelphia
all previous efforts in this way. Unfortu
nately, the agricultural branch of the exhi
bition at Philadelphia is shining example
of how incompetent management may ruiI
the best opportunity and the brightest hopes

The Study of Botany.

The study Of the natural sciences is toe
much neglected in our common schools. TC
the farmer they are of special Importance
The Massachusetts, Ploughman thus states
the value of a knowledge of botany:
No study is more charming, and few arc
more useful, than that of botany. 1t ought
to be taught in every school, and to every
class that has passed beyond the mere rudi.
ments Of an education, especially in every
farming district. Every teacher Of district
school ought to be able to teach it practi.
cally.
The science Of botany teaches the student
tho structure Of plants, their mode Of growth
their various forms and names, and their use
ful or injurious properties. In its applica.
tions to agriculture, it reveals the diseases OF
vegetation, and often their causes and rene.
dies; unfolds the reasons for many of the
processes of the horticulturist, such as
hybridization and artificial fertilization, and
the numerous modes Of propagatiug by ex.
tension and by seed explains how plants
feed and grow, and are improved for special
purposes; and tells the origin and habits oi
cultivated plants and weeds. Botanical
knowledge requires no costly apparatus, j:
easily acquired, and is of great value to the
farmer.
Ifthe teacher is competent, it is the easl-
est thing in the world to interest the young
in this pursuit. We hope the time is CON-
ing when all the children in our public schools
will be taught to know the names and the
properties of all the natural objects that
come under their observation daily, when
they will be taught to observe to investigate
and to think. This knowledge would con-
stitute the most useful aud the most precious
part Of all their education.
