WHAT KNOW OF FARMING.
EY lIORACE GREELEY
XXXIII
INTELLECT IN AGRICULTURE
If a man whose capital consists of
the clothes on his back, $,5 in his pock
et, and an ax over his right shoulder,
undertakes to hew for himself a farm
out of the primitive forest, lie 'must
of course devote some years to, rugged
manual labor, or ho will fail of success.
It is indeed possible that he should find
others, oven on the rude outposts of
eivilization,who will hire him to teach
school, 'or Seive ae county clerk, or sur
vey lands, or do something .else of
like nature: thus enabling him to do
his cropping trees, and rolling logs,
and breaking up his stumpy acres, by
proxy; but the fair presumption is
that he_will have to chop and dig, and
-bUrri off-and fence; and break up, by
the use of his own proper muscle; and
hoMnst be 'energetic and frugal, as
well as fortunate, if he gets a comfort
able house over his head, with forty
arable acres "abbet him, at the end of
fifteen years' bard work. If he has
brains, and has been well educated, he
may possibly shorten this ordeal to
ten years; but, should he begin by
fancying hard work beneath him,or his
abilities too great to be squandered in
bushwacking, he is very likely to come
out at the little end of horn, and,strag
gling back to some popular settlement,
more needy and seedy than when he
set forth to wrest a farm from the wil
derness, declaring the pioneer's life
one of such dreary, hopeless privation
that no one who can read or cypher
ought ever to attempt it.
A poor man, who undertakes to live
by his wits on a farm that ho has
bought on credit, is not likely to
achieve a brilliant success; but the
farmer whose hand and brain work in
concert will never find nor fancy his
intellect or his education too good for
his calling. He may very often dis
cover that he wasted months of. hie
school days in what was not adapted
to his needs, and of little use in fight•
ing one actual battle of life; but he
will at the sane time, - have ample rea
son to lament the meagerness and the
deficiency of his knowledge.
I hold our average Common Schools
defective, in that they fail to teach
Geology and Chemistry, which in my
view are the natural bases of a sound,
practical knowledge of things—know
ledge which the farmer, of all men, can
least afford to miss. However it may
bo with'othors, he virtually needs to
understand the character and consti-
tution of the' soil he must cultivate,
the elements, of which it is composed,
and the laws which govern their re
lation to each other. instruct him in
the higher mathematics if you will, in
logic, in • meteorology, in ever so
many languages; but not till he shall
have been thoroughly grounded in the
sciences which unlock for him the ar
Cana of Nature; for theSe are intimate
ly related, to all he must, do, and de
vise, and direct, throughout the whole
course of his active career. Whatever
he paylearnor dispense with, alinew
ledge of-themsciences is among the
most urgent of his life•long needs.
Hence, I would suggest that a aim•
ple, lucid; lively, accurate digest of the
leading principles and facts in Geology
and Chemistry, and their application
to the practical management of a farm,
ought to constitute the reader of the
highest class in every Common School,
especially in rural districts. Leave
out details and recipes, with direc
tions when to plant or sow, &e.; for
these must vary with climates,eircum
stances, and the progress of knowledge;
but let the body and bones, so to speak,
of a primary agricultural education be
taught in every school, in such terms
and with such clearness as to commend
them to the understanding of every
pupil: I never yet visited a school in
which something was not taught which
might be omitted or postponed in fa
vor of this.
Out of school and after schooldet tbe
yOttuk, farmer delight in the literature
illustrative of his calling—l mean the
very best of it. Let him have few agri
cultural books; but let these treat of
principles and laws rather than of
methcids and applications. Let him
learn from these how to ascertain by
experiment what are the actual and
pressing needs. of his soil, and ho will
readily determine by reflection and in
quiry how those needs may be most
readily and cheaply satisfied.
All the books in the world never of
themselves made one good farmer; but,
on the other band, no man in this age
can be a thoroughly good farmer with
out the knowledge which is more easi
ly and rapidly acquired from books
than otherwise• Books aro no substi
tute for • open-eyed observation and
practical experience; but they enable
one familiar with their contents to ob•
serve with an accuracy, and experi
ment with an intelligence that is -an
attainable without them. •`The very
farmer who tells you that he never
opened a book which treats of Agri
culture, and never wants to see one,
will ask his neighbor how to grow or
cure tobacco, or hops, .or sorgho, or
any
.crop,with which he is yet unac
quainted, when the chances are a hun
dred to one that this particular neigh
bor cannot advise him so well as the
volume which embodies the experi
ence of a thousand cultivators of this
very plant instead of barely ono. A
good book treating practically of Ag T
riculture, or of sonio department them
in, is simply a compendium of the - ex
perience of past ago combined with
such knowledge as the present gener
ation have boon enabled to add there
to; It maybe faulty or defective on
some points; it is not to be blindly
confided in, nor-=slavishly followed—it
is to be mastered, discussed, criticised,
and followed so far as its teachings
coincide with the dictates of science,
experience, and common sense: Its
true office is suggestion; the good farm
er will learn upon and trust it as an
oracle only whore his own proper
knowledge proves entirely deficient.
By-and-by, it will be generally'real
ixed that few men live or have lived
who cannot find scope and profitable
employment for all their intellect on a
two-hundred acre farm. And then the
farmer will select the brightest of his
sons to follow him in the management
and cultivation of the paternal acres,
leaving those of inferior capacity to
seek fortune in pursuits for which a
limited and special capacity will serve,
if not suffice. And then wo shall have
an Agriculture worthy of our country
land the age:
