Chemistry has been called 1.-The cor
ner-Stone Of agriculture" liz is true In
the abstract. for by chemical change the
plant is enabled to receive the elements
that 90 towards their organization.
agriculture is the groundwork of the
wealth of nations" is q universally re-
ceived axiom. 1t is true that without
agriculture no nation could emerge from
barbarism, and the higher the agricul-
ture the greater the possible civilization,
but none but the crudest agriculture
could exist unless manufactures, art and
commerce rendered implements perfect
and cheap. with commerce to quickly
and economically transport the products
OF agriculture. Horticulture may be
called the poetry Of agriculture. 1t is
refining in its nature, it broadens the
mind, creates q 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 successful he
must begin by being a good farmer.
The word agriculture is derived from
the Latin words dger, q field, and cuI-
tara. cultivation. Literally the cultiva-
ton of field. From the first We also
get our word scre. which was undoubted-
" originally used to express husbandry.
Now it is used in its broad sense, to
embrace all that pertains to the farm,
the orchard, the garden and the Orna-
mentatiOn Of the homestead. The
word husbsndry is now used to
denote what pertains TO the farm,
and the word horticulture all that
pertains To the garden. The word hor-
t.culture comes from two Latin words
i5r'US. gar,ien. AMI cEhUT0. from
cO.eYe To till. Ii is now subdIvitcd int %
pOmOlOIy, the culture of orchards; hor-
ticul;ure. the culture of forest trees:
gardening, the cultivation OF garden
fruits and vegetables: Horticulture. the
florist : art, and landscape gardening or
the formation If artificial effects in the
landscape. the highest art in hOrticult-
ure. HuSbandry is also now divided
into many aud separate branches.
although one or more are generally
combined. Tho two great divisions of
hGSbandry are field husbandry, subdi-
vided into grain hIsbandry, grass huS-
bandry. seed husbandry, cotlOn-p plant
All-t SUI 1t-CsAhC iiidAttu2, bObA''U NuiL-
ure and hemp raising; when several of
these are combined il is called mixed
hu,baDdry. The other great division of
husbandrv is stock raising. This again
is divided into horse breeding, cattle
breeding, sheep husbaudry, swine
breeding. poultry raising ard stock
feeding aud fattening. When number
of the divisions are combined it is
called mixed husbandry. the most
profitable of all, and he whose land is
suitable for the greatest combination
and is himself competent to superin-
tend each division is in situation to
place himself on the road to success,
and to surpass those who are not so
fortunately circrmstanced. 1t is always
best, however. to be confined in your
agricultural operations tosuch branches
as you understand and your land aud
locality are best adapted for.-SGH

The Pension Business.

WASHINGTON. June 22.-During the week
ended June 20, aS7 original and 997 increase
pension claims were Issued. About 20 per
cent of the increase of claims acted on by
the Pension Office for the month ending
June 10, were rejected. and is about the
average per cent. of such claims rejected.
1t frequently happens that pensioner who
applies for an increase Is found not to be
entitled 10 as high a rate as he is receiy-
ing, and his application for increase results
in reduction of his rate of pension per
month.
