Farming Facts.

Chemistry has been called "The cor
ner stone of agriculture. II is true in
the abstract, for. by chemical change the
plant is enabled to receive the elements
that go towards their organization.
"Agriculture is the groundwork of
the wealth of nations, us an universally
received axiom. 1t is true that without
agriculture, no nation could emerge
from barbarism, and the higher the
agriculture the greater the possible
civilization, but none but the crudest
agriculture could exist, unless manu-
features, art and commerce rendered
implements perfect and cheap, with
commerce to quickly and economically
transport the products of agriculture.
Horticulture is the poetry of agricult-
ure. 1t is refining in its nature, broad
ems the mind, creates love for the
beautiful, and its products are the most
healthful food of man, An indifferent
farmer never made good horticulturist.
A good farmer may, for to be success
full he must begin by being good
farmer.
The word agriculture is derived from
two Latin words, Gger, a field, and cRi-
tara, cultivation. Literally the cultiva-
ton of field. From the first we also get
our word acre, and it was undoubtedly
originally used to express husbandry.
Now, however, it is used in its broad
sense, to embrace all that pertains to
the farm, the orchard, the garden, and
the ornamentation of the homestead.
The word husbandry is now used to
denote what pertains to the farm, and
the word horticulture, all that pertains
to the garden.
The word horticulture comes from
two Latin words, hortnS, Q garden, and
cutturG, from cola, to till. 1t is now
sub-divided into pomology, the culture
of orchards horticulture, the cultivation
of forest trees; gardening, the cultva-
ton of garden fruits and vegetables;
Horticulture, the florists art, and land
scape gardening, or the formation OF ar
titicial effects In the landscape, the high
est art in horticulture.
Husbandry is now divided into many
and separate branches, although one or
more are generally combined. The
two great divisions of husbandry are
field husbandry, sub-divided into grain
husbardry, grass husbandry, seed hus-
bandry, cotton planting, sugar-cane
planting, tobacco culture and hemp
raising; when several of these are COM
bincd . is called mixed husbandry. The
other great division of husbandry is
stock raising. This again is divided into
horse breeding, cattle breeding, sheep
husbaodry, swine breeding, poultry
raising and stock feeding and iattening.
When a number of the true divisions
are combined il is called mixed bus-
handry, the most proftable Of ALL
Farmers ReuieW.

Mexican coin on a Texas bar, crossed

Recently a school teacher, named
Dowda, was convicted of kidnapping
for clipping with a girl under age,
which was the first time such case
had been carried through the courts
on such charge, and now it seems
likely that in every case where girls
under lawful age marry against the
will of their people the husband will
be reached as kidnapper. This
will render early love matches dan
gerous.

The Convention To-Morrow.

The Democrats of Christian coun-
ty will meet in convention at the
courthouse tomorrow afternoon at
l 80 o'clock. 1t is to be hoped that
the country Democrats will be on
hand in good numbers. The object
of the convention is merely to select
and appoint delegates to cast the ten
votes of Christian county in the State
convention May 7th, on all questions
that may come up. 1t is not expect
ed that the county conventions will
instruct their delegates and there is
nothing to do but appoint list of
good men. AS has been previously
announced, Hon. Jas. a. Mckenzie
is being spoken Of as delegate from
the State at large to the Chicago
Convention. 1t behooves this, his
native county, to give him an en-
thusiastic endorsement for the posi-
ton. If there should be aspirants in
the county for district delegate the
friends of Mr.. Mckenzie should ask
them to make their own desires mat
ters of secondary consideration, as
any Endorsement of other parties
would les ;en Mr.. McKenzie's chances
to get the solid support Of his
district. If we are given a delegate
from the State at large, other coun-
ties may ask for the district dele
gates, and it is very important that
our delegates be uninstructed to vote
for any one for district delegate.
