"Ehe Farmer Feeds Them AIs.'

"
Every calling, profession and pur.
suit is supported by the farmer. lie
feeds all nations and peoples. Il he
is skillful. educated and successful,
trade pro5pers; the white sails Of
commerce aud peace float bUsiig
over the seas; the myriad looms and
spindles Of cur factories, the FORCES
and anvils OF our shops and founder
les, put forth their full streoe,h, and
make all the air resound witt their
din.
The skilled artisan and mechanic.
with plenty before them, pity their
busy hands and exercise their acute
brains to bring ont Of chaos things
of use and beauty-contriyances to
tighten labor and further prosperity.
So, too. in the sunshine Of the far.
mer's prosperity, all pursuits bask
and flourish; and the nation Of great
farmers becomes great.
If the farmers of a nation lack
skill, science and edncation-rc.
guisites for successful culturc-the
soil locks UP its treasures; then COM
mcrce, the great industries, trades
and professions all languish, and
the nation is in woe and want. Agri
culture, then, may be regarded as
the basis not only of individual com.
fort and success, but of national
greatness. A glance at the status
of nations will at once show that in
proportion to agricultural advance
ment and skill, is it classed in the
eye Of the world. England, France,
Germany, the United States Of
modern times; and Greece and Rome,
the "mistresses of the world" Of
. a%ncien: times--all of advanced agri,
culture--how infinitely above the
lands in which this great industry
languishes Speaking of Rome, we
a not forbcar giving an extract
showing the estimation in which
agriculture was held by that nation
in its palmiest days:
Among the Romans agriculture
was held in the greatest esteem.
Cato in second and Varo in the frs.
: century previous to the Christian
era; Virgil, at the time of the birth
of our Savior; Palladines, Pliny and
Columella, have all extolled its ex-
c%ellencies. Several of the noblest
families of Rome derived their pa.
tronymics frcm some vegetables
which they were famous for raising
such as the Fabil pea, Lentuli, Cice-
rones, etc. These we're the days of
Roman agricultural glory. Cato
says that when they praised a good
man they called him an agriculturist
and a h~usbandman, and it was con-
sidered a great honor to be thus
spoken OF. C%incinnatus, who -four
ished AGO years before Christ, was
plowman of his own four acres, and
when the Sammito ambassadors Wis.
tied Curtius Dentatus, they foand
him at work with his vegetables.
Cato says: Study to have a large
,~dunghill; and to this l would add,
treat your dumb !aborers as inferior.
brothers: deprived Of speech"
How important, then, that agricul-
turc should be fostered and cnconr
aged; that the aged veterans Of the
pillow should be honored for their
works sake, and the young taught
TO respect and take pride in tie
calling. 10 it's praise Virgil sang
his immortal Georges and Cato us
highest philosophy. Should not the
veterans Of agricultara literature
meet every enconragemcaJ in their
good work from a grateful pecp]e?
