There is no subject perhaps .on which false notions exist more generally in 'the min& of those directly interested in the matter, than upon the education of children fur whom the profession of agriculture has been chosen by their parents. In many of our sister States the agricultural interest is sadly depressed by reason of the neglect ' with which it is treated by legislators, and the more . cull ible neglect with which agri culturalists treat thumselves. Commerce, tit::i.ett.ceute, a. d be currency receive their sioal, 1 to tHtm f r om our statesmen and leuislativ, s, the inurest final:' his-blood of them all, is ti..) much ail too generally forgotten. But if farmers wool I cease to neglect them selves, they would thrive in spite of the neg. b et of legislators, and by suitably educating their children, they would secure a more general representation of their interests in It gislatiee bodies, and the I assage oral! acts -- rtir.a.dfal - forits fostering andprotection. When the farmer discovers that one of his sons is gifted %%jib more than ordinary intelligence, he concludes that he is too smart to follow the plough, and then he is willing to make sacrifices, if necessary; to secure for him a suitable education. If the boy is to be a minister, or a physician and live uyoh the disease's oldie unfortunate, or lawyer and live upon the quarreli. and mistakes of the passionate mid the weak, he must have a thorough education ; but if lie is to furnish food for all classes and prii fessions—if hb is to assist nature in the tidi ly miracle by which she feeds her children, then the most scanty rudiments of knowledge must suffice for him, and he must be con tent to dig among the clods, and become almost insensible as they. Now this is wrong—totally and radically • wrong. The farmer should have a thorotth, I general, and professional education. Of i course we would not recommend him to, 'study Greek and Latin, brit he wants the benefits of schools designed expressly to pupils for the professipn of Agricultural schools in uhich beside the common Eng:. fish branches, Natural Philosophy and Che, inistry in their relations to the business of the fanner, and the production r.nJ elements of the soil, together with every other study necessary to fit men fur active duties as citizens of a self-governing community, and practical farmers, should be thoroughly taught. When farmers are thus educated, their piofessiOn . will be come more respect able, and more profitable. Their interests will then be fostered in our legislative bodes, and will thrive at home. Then will their. influence predominate in the council and the . mart, and it depends upon the farmers them: selves whether they Will take the position they should occupy in one of the most con siderable nations of the earth, or plod along is the beaten truck of their forefathers.— Fiirikee Made. 2890,558 rza.3s.B_9_ 205,159 00 15,513 15 46,181 87 OM The following extract from a letter of a St. Louis gentleman to a friend in this cinity, will give some idea of the scale on which fanning is conducted in Missouri "Yesterday I took a ride to see one of our fine Missouri farms, about eight miles from St. Louis.

They hayil about 100 head of cattle, 600 sheep, &C"., 2,500 pear trees. They have a row of these trees set out three quarters of a mile long in a straight line, with a row of arbor vitro trees on one side., I cannot begin to tell you of all the beauties of this place. The natermelon patch was about the si2e of half the Boston Common, and completely covered with vines, and melons of the most 'lucious description. You must remember all the land occupied by the fruit trees is also covered with straWberries, grass, .&c. This farm has been opened within six years. Can this be beat in the old Bay State any where ? If so, let me know. There are fine carriage avenues through the farm• crossing at right angles the main avenuei bordered with flowers each side : about n quarter of a mil.
