The Study of Plants.
Pres


1t is not strange, that even at this late day,
after so much has been written about sex in
plants. that there are men who yet have no clear
conception of what is meant by pistillate straw
berry. it is not strange, because the elements
of botany are not taught in common schools and
too many farmers have little inclination to inform
themselves by reading, study or observation. OF
course it would be an advantage to farmers to
know how crops feed, how they grow and how
they reproduce Any intelligent man or woman
would find the study of science most delightful
as we'll as helpful. Why not begin, then2
Botany is learned from plants themselves-no
book take the place of actual examination
of the natural object. But books Of nstruc
are needed to begin with, and later on are nee
for reference. What book? Here is what Hen
Stewart says in the New York Times:
"a simple elementary handbook of botany is
all that is required to begin. The simple, but
excellent work, Miss Youman's first book of
botany, would give all the information needed
to acquire knowledge of the general plan of
this enchanting science, which has practical
value by no means to he overlooked and this
general plan of all the sciences connected with
his business ought to be mastered by every far
mer. He cannot hope to become an expert in
all, nor in any one, but he ought to know as
part of his daily employment at least the ele
mentary principles of each one"

POPULATION AND LABOR.

The enumeration of the popula-
ton of this Kingdom, which has re-
Gently been taken, furnishes food
for thought to all who are interested
in the prosperity of our country,
but especially to those engaged in
cane and rice culture, in which in
dustries alone not less than 10000
persons are constantly employed.
Although some of the statistics
given in the census tables are evil
IDENTIFY dcfcctive-especially those
which state the number who can read
and write as only 9,01G of the total
90,57S-I consider the tables on the
whole quite as reliable as those of
any previous census. The totals
correspond very closely to the esti-
mates made by myself and others !;
and those who have had charge of
the work deserve credit for the man
ner in which it has been done.
The male population is put down
at 81, ,539, of which ZOO are under
fifteen years of age, leaving 39,939
as available, in one way OF another,
for industrial pursuits. The columns
under the head of occupations" in
the census returns, show total of
9,541 employed as mechanics, agri-
culturists, contract laborers, and in
other occupations. This includes
some females, but how many we
