Mr.. Chas. L. Flint, Secretary Of the

sugar in the United States, pronouncing it

Professor Goessmanns investigations and

Goessmann knew to be absurd This is Il

AGRICULTURAL NEWSPAPERS In a re.
cent number of the Boston Journal, n cor.
respondent, Young Farmer" says the
following very truthful and appropriate
words about the agricultural papers =
One word now about the agricultural
papers. Some of them have improved
very much, rs look ut matters. Thirty
years ago very few actual farmers, whose
hands were familiar with the plough, hoe,
or milk pail could be found to write for
such paper. even upon such subjects a,
they had made their daily avocation for
years. They were not used to the pen OF
familiar with spelling book or rules OF
grammar. They spoke their minds freely
to their neighbors, but cared not to invite
criticism upon points where they felt thai
they might fail. The minister, the school
master, storekeeper or doctor, who EN-
ployed the time not devoted to their bust
ness in the cultivation Of little plots of
land would write out their theories and
ideas, and from such men we have gained
much knowledge. All honor to them. But
among their wheat was much chaff. They
had not always experimental carefully
enough. or observed carefully enough the
conditions under which their experiments
were made, to be taken us safe pilots in il
channel in which they had only sailed up
on short pleasure trips, and which abound
ed in rocks and shoals which they had not
seen. In II word, their advice was not al
was practical, nor AS applicable rs they
thought it to be to all farms and all locali-
ties.
To-day, farmers are studying and ex-
perimentlng, who make farming for pro-
fit II business, and who are fitted by
study in high schools, academies and col
Ieges, rs we'll as by practical experience,
to experiment scientifically and to report
the result in plain langu &c, if not in flow
cry style. 1t is the writing of such men
hat fills most of the columns of our lead
ing agricultural papers; and the time will
come when they will occupy the time ut
the meetings of our agricultural societies
and boards of agriculture. A few of them
have done so to the satisfaction of their
Of farmers, and others might.
This is the history Of nearly all progress
i've movements. Thinking men have start
ed strange theories-bod adventures
have tested them. as Columbus did the
theories Of those who believed in western
world before his day; and when the dis
,overies are made then comes the practi-
,al men to utilize them.

| have lately read an article entitled " A
New Theory of Culture in which the
writer claims that he largely increased the
yield of his crop by deep blowing after the
corn was tasseling, and attributes it to the
root pruning which resulted from his late
and deep blowing.
My practice has been to cultivate level
and shallow when the corn was so large
that the roots extended across the rows.
but | am not prepared to say that it would
be bad plan to pillow large corn deeply.

his experience sustained the theory; that
he last season went into Il field of large
corn and put the pillow in as deep as posi-
BILE, and he increased the yield on the part
of the field managed in this way more
than ten bushels per acre. The old farm

saw what he was doing, but he war so
well satisfied with the result that he said,

theory. Go into the middle of corn field
