Asriculsure vs.. Gold.

Probably no event in modern times so well
illustrates the superiority of agriculture over
all other industries as the settlement and de-
velopment of the State OF California. The
discovery of gold in that section, some thirty
years ago, sent wave of speculation and a
mania for mining across the continent. It is
doubtful whether any settlement on large
scale would have been made up to this date
on the Pacific slope, had 1t not been for the
attraction Of the gold mines and the infatua-
tion in mankind which impels any sacrifice
in seeking the precious metals. If it had
been published in 1S49 that California was a
splendid agricultural section, instead of
country rich in gold and silver, would the
tide of emigration have turned in that direc-
ton? The claims of agriculture are every
where slow of recognition; no cannons of
welcome announce its coming, no gilded ban
ners proclaim its victories, no crowds of spec
tators trumpet its praises; but quietly, unos.
tentatiously, securely it gathers its golden
harVests and secures its rich rewards, until it
outranks the value of the precious metals
obtained in the same districts.
Facts are unswerable arguments. Stats
tics show that for the present year the value
of the gold and silver produced in California
is $21 ,000, 900, while the agricultural produce
of the same great State exceeds SOL 500, 900.
As compared with mining agriculture stands
nearly five to one in values produced. The
wheat crop of California for single year is
valued at $36,52O,56O, barley at $4,000, 900,
other cereals $4,500,0 200, products Of the vine.
yards $7,500,00O, wool $7,500,000, fruit
$3,500,000, live stock. sold and slaughtered,
$17,500,0O0, dairy produce $S,500,0O0. Such
are the achievements of the agriculturists of
State originally peopled by class Of adven-
turous and enterprising men seeking for gold
Such are the bounteous rewards that nature
gives to those who industriously till the SOIL
And yet more noise and excitement, more
gush and eloquence, more outlay and sacri-
Gee are made over the discovery of one gold
mine than follows the remunerative culliva-
ton of thousands of acres of fertile land.
When will men learn that more peace and
contentment, more comfort and improve
ment, more opportunities for progress and
higher manhood exist in the industrious and
intelligent cultivation of the soil than in the
pursuit of uncertain gold, with all its attend
ant accompaniment of misery, unnatural
excitement and beggarly results to mind and
body ?-American Cultivator.

WEST FAIRLEE. VI, Jan. IL, 1871.
Dear Sir-For seven or eight years past have
been in poor health. and for the past year or more
very feeble. My health continued to decline, and
my flesh and strength wasted away, until was I'M
able to WORK. or even go up stairs without great ex-
attacks of papitation of the heart, my food dis
tressed causing acidity and pain in the stomach
ton, and debility OF The system generally, my blood
being thin and poor and sluggish in circulation, and
for years suffering all the tortures OF con-
frmed dyspeptic. About six months since 1 con-
cluded would try a. bottle Of PERUVIAN SYRUP,
and received 80 much benefit from it that 1 pur-
chased five bottles more, and have continued the
use of the SYRUP until quite recently. 1t has re-
stored my health to such an extent that feel my
self as good as new. My digestion is good and my
weight has increased in the past four months from
100 to 1873 pounds; my, strength has returned, and
my general health is thus wonderfully improved and
can truly say owe it all to the use of PERUVIAN
SYRUP. 1 earnestly recommend all sufferers from
dyspepsia and debility to give it trial. hoping it will
do them as much good as it has me.
Yours very truly, MRS. S. B. BEM1S,

Culfivaie Blackberries

It is strange that the blackberry is not
more extensively planted where it succeeds
well. After plantation is once started it
requires but very little care and attention,
Nipping back the new growth while growing,
and cleaning between the rows two or three
times in the spring and early summer is all
that is necessary. They do better on Fight,
porous soil, and should not be worked among
late In the season, as it promotes late growth
and tenderness of plant. They yield so abun-
dainty and sell at such high rates, and can be
harvested at such low rates, that they prove
one OF the most profitable crops grown
where they do not winter-kl. -Lewiston
