    -SflriculturaL
loom the Bucks County Intelligencer,
Solon "Rohiasons's Lecture.
Ni \l to Greeley himself, the vene- j
• oih-: looking individual wo reports j
in-cattle markets and the proceed
ings of the Farmers Club, as well as !
Jln great variety of miscellaneous ag-,
ricuilural items, is regarded ny the j
agricultural readers of the Tribune as 1
i ■> impersonation ot that great news-1
t iper establishment. Mr. Robinson '
i; thoroughly identified with the pro- j
gn ssive movements of modern agri- |
culture, and by his enthusiasm upon '
the subject has done as much as any
other man in the country to arouse a
spirit of inquiry and a desire for in
creased knowledge among those who
td! the soil as any other man in the
country. Beside his constant coutri- j
hut ions to the journal with which he
is e >nn ctcd, he finds time to deliver ;
1. dures upon agri icltural and econo- j
.ii.il -objects during the winter at
j-lac s not too difficult of access from j
New W.rk. Last year he had one, i
wh: li \v.<s delivered before the C'ol
nrnt 1.1 i uunty N Y.) Agricultural!
-h h-ty, entitled ' What is Grass ?" ,
This essay was subsequently printed j
in the TribuiU'. where it attracted I
inu.-h attention. His new lecture, |
since prcpar* d, is of a kindred char
acter, and the next is, "What is
Dirt ? n
A loaf of wheat bread was placed
beside him, to be used in the way of
illustrating the relation of dirt to all
organic substances Bread was an
excellent example o:' "what is dirt ?"
We i all it flour, but it is nothing but
it ground through the great labora
tory of nature. Yotcrday it was dirt
t -day it is lood. Yesterday the
carpets of your house-wives were soil
ed by the feet of men from the barn
yard : to-day they bring the same
fail diit into the house in cleau linen j
hags, and how lovingly and skillfully
it is handled. The wheaten loaf is
the highest type of human food, and i
gi vi-s nourishment to the highestforms
of human intellect. You mingle the
limn iii the tray with another form of
dirt, and when the mass advances to
wards decay the housewife fixes it by
heat, and thus it is eaten. This is
but oue step from the practice of the
North Carolina clay-eaters, who con
sume dirt in its natural state. Dirt
is the base of all our sustenance.—
Wonderful are the works by which it
is transformed ; there is an eternal
round of change. Waste not the loaf,
fir it will forever reproduce itself. It
is bread to-day, dirt to morrow, and
bread again next year. Food is crc
: J by saving dirt, it builds tip all |
- n earth. From food to dirt, from
dirt to food, the conversion is perpet
ual It extends through all the pro
c sses of milking, churning, reaping,
threshing, grinding, kneading, and
eating. This loaf will support more
bodies to make more machines, to
gather more bread,to make more men, '
to make more dirt. Every atom of
bread that is permitted to waste is J
the loss of oue atom of a human body. !
We all burn, waste or wash away
matter of as much value as our hous- j
es and their coutents. You think you
waste nothing but dirt ; you really j
waste all the beautiful products of
dirt, 'i'ho fetid odor of dirt returns in
ihe fragrance of the rose and the tnig-,
nonette. It is a Christian duty to
gather up the fragments. Saving is i
•equivalent to creating—it enables us
be charitable.and thus encourages
i ristianity. If you give food to the ,
vicious it is no charity, for they need i
in be taught bow necessary it is to
gather up and save the fragments.— i
\\ e all need to he taught economy,
for ii is the parent of great riches.— !
\i vr i theless,the speaker said,he was
:.ot in favor of political dirt-eaters,be
cause ne spoke of the near relation of
food to dirt. The beef-steak you ate
this morning was grass few weeks
ago, and that glass was not long b -
tore the very dirt of which the house
wife complained. 1 Greeting attention
to a glass tumbler, Mr. R. said that
the composition of glass might be
compared with that of the loaf, when
both are reduced to dirt. The result
will be the silicate of potash, which,
when mixed with the ammonia and
nitrogen which float through the air,
will bear and perfect the seeds of
wheat. No conjuror could oxer per
forni a feat that would equal this
change from dirt to food. You can
perform greater mysteries than he—
you can convert mere dirt into beef,
butter, bread and human bodies
What lessons the growth of a plant
teaches. The lilies of the field, how
gloriously they arc arrayed ; how
wonderful it is that the beautiful flow
er is made of nothing but dirt. We
should never despise dirt.eqcept when
it is out of place Dirt is then offen
sive, aud should be removed so that
it can be converted to some useful
purpose. The duty of every one is to
gather up all the dust and fragment-i,
and use them to make two blades of
grass grow where but one grew be
fore. How hard it is for a dull farm
er to get understanding of some of the
most simple facts connected with his
• iliing. He possesses the mighty
power of changing dirt into pure
white bread. lie ought to study how
he can convert by means of his cruci
ide, the greatest arnonnt of dirt into
bread. Pulverization of soil is indis
pensable to profitable agriculture.--
Is there anj- amount of pulverization
which will not pay r Is there any one
who knows how much manure he can
profitably put into his soil to increase
the product ? Is there an acre of
ground in your country that could not
be made to double its product ; Do
your crops not increase with more
careful farming ? This is a model
country, but there are many farmers
here who do not gather up the waste,
or underdrain or pulverize. Pulver
ization is the great secret of fertility.
All dirt is composed originally of par
ticles of rock, which nature is contin
ually pulverizing by her operations
and converting into soil. If we would
r.alo two blades of grass grow where
there is now but one.we must pulver
ize. Nobody has faio-d to notice in a
garden the effects of repeated stirring
of the ground. With better eultiva
iion, would not our labor lie less and
ur profit more- would not the value
•f our lands increase -would we not
boar less talk of worn-out farms ? The
prospeiity of America depends upon
the farmer and the way in which he
treats his land. All other vocations
flourish with improved agriculture.- -
None can prosper upon badly tilled
and worn out farms. Tli first settle
ments of the country, at Jamestown
and Plymouth Rock, soon wore out
; the land ; without a change in our
! system of agriculture,our soil will all
: he worn out a thousand years hence.
England, reputed to he the best culti
vated eouutry in the world, is unable
to support her population—the wolf
is always at the door. This is be
cause the land is not tilled to the best
advantage, though it is done much
better than here. In India, a million
of British subjects have lately died of
famine. True, there is no fear of fam
ine here while the great West is at
our backs. In the South, the laud is
desolated by bad cultivation. Sher
man found no farms to destroy, the
cotton-growers had ruined them. No
one here feels afraid of want, for Illi
nois and her sister States supply plen
ty of everything, but we ignore the
fact that we are surrounded with worn
out farms. Improved cultivation, if ■
not an immediate necessity, is a pres
sing duty. Our farmers show too
much averseness to learn ; they are
satisfied with what they already
know ; they glory in the good. They
talk of hoises and bullocks, but will
not get understanding. You cannot
plow up knowledge, you must learn
wisdom by contract and comparison
with others. The farmer must learn
that his own brindle cow is not the
biggest and best that was ever raised.
We have too lew agricultural fairs of
the right kind in this country. Thej
shonld be schools of instruction and
improvement, or they should cease to
exist. As some are conducted they
arc worse than none. He bad been
at fairs where the officers seemed to
think that their salvation depended
upon a horse getting around the track
in a certain short period ol time.—
These sow the seeds of lasting injury 1
in the whole community. All who
have the good of society at heart
should labor to abolish the racetrack
on our exhibition grounds, or leave it
in the hands of those who have noth
ing else to do but serve the devil. It
is not the chief end of man to drive a
fast horse. There are better modes
of testing a horse's merits than driv
iug him at full speed to a skeleton
wagon,urged on by shouts and osths.
The proper use of a track is not to
get up a race in which Sam Jones or
Bill Smith may get the prize. Culti
vate horses for men of business, nit'
for jockeys and racing. He would
have a mile track upon every fair 1
ground, with sharp angles at the cor- :
liers,where Sam Jones and Bill Smith
might break their necks in turning,
instead of doing so in a more elevated j
situation. The prevalent idea of horse- ;
racing at fairs is that it attracts visi- :
tors and brings money to pay expen- j
ses —expenses which liad better nev- |
er be incurred. If the people want a j
horse-race give it to them, but do nol j
cali the performance an agricultural
fair. This system does not draw the
right sort of people, and societies j
should resist everything that has a
pernicious tendency. Introduce man
ly sports and exercises ; give prizes j
for skill and excellence in manual la- j
bor ; let boys and girls compete in 1
skillful riding and driving ; award a j
premium to the boy who makes the
best stack or shock ; try whether the j
people will not accept something be
side blackguardism for an amusement.
These features will draw a different
crowd from that which attends a \
horse-race. There should be a lecture- 1
room, where agricultural discourses
could be given, or a farmers' club
meet, so that facts could be drawn
out for the general benefit.
No one should ever buy a farm in
a locality where cattle are allowed in
the roads. The practice is sure to
lead to quarreling aud litigation. It
is the frequent cause of death by rail
road accidents. It has cost more to
fence the roads oi the United States
than all the cattle were, worth that
ever were pastured upon them. It
should be a leading feature in every
agricultural s.ocietj- to teach the peo
ple that the roads are established
only for thoroughfares ; that they are
not public pasture grounds. No hon
est man will turn his cattle into the
j public roads, which are private prop
-1 erty for every purpose but that ol
travel. There is a prohibitory law
in New York,which works admirably,
but public opinion is stronger,and the
practice can be abolished if the peo
ple so determine. Let farmers set
their gates open, and then imprison
every animal thai enters. Ample
barns upon the farm, filled with the
rich products of dirt, are symbols of
wealth. Two barns or three barns
j on a farm may be better than one ;
farmers ought to discuss the subject
He drew a warm picture of a hospita
ble and comfortable farmer's home,
! contrasting it with a house in which
the family lived iu an attachment,
while the main building wa6 used only
for a show. Cold-hearted dwellings
should always be avoided. Farmers
must do all they can to elevate their
j calling. No wonder their sons and
daughters flee to the dissipation of
I the city ; they have never been taught
to enjoy the blessings of country
I life. What is there to attract chil
j dren in the bleak old farm house,
! ready to tumble down, where two gen
| erations have been reared, with no
outbuildings but two barracks and a
rail-covered cow shed ? Let us
| dare to say that farming needs to be
improved. The best way to do it is
for yon to consider,a question worthy
of your inquiry. How long would a
; horse live if kept in such a skinning
and shabby way as much of our farm-
I ing is done ? What can one man do
with such enormous farms as there
are iu Illinois, where one farmer un
dertakes to cultivate thousands of
acres ? The love of land is an epidem
ic in this country—a national sin.—-
Not one-tenth of the land is profitably
tilled. Look at the vast amount that
is occupied by the roads aud fences.
England is now tearing up more fen
ces than she is making. Our fence
rows will average twenty feet in
in width. The land fever is the most
fearful disease in this country. Far
meiß would be better off if one-half
their land could be taken from them
by arbitary power. Even the crops
of weeds are wasted, because they
are not plowed in for manure. Our
fust young mc-u call farming drudg
ery ; they take to smoking cigars,
drinking brandy-smashes, talking
horse and frequenting race-courses.—
Suppose the farming community
should be composed of that class of
men. The way to %>'izg such a thing
about is to give up your fairs to those
who believe in nothing but trials of
speed. Bear in mind that wherever
worn out farms prevail, it is the sign
ot a worn-out nation. National de
cay will not come of national politics,
but of the rnin of public morals
