-We mean tho neglected education of tho
farmers' children. It is frequently remark
ed, that education is of but little uso to the
farmer; n very little science will do for him.
GreatichowIcdge is 'only beneficial in tho
'professional man. Expressions of this sort
iire founded upon a false estimate of oriboT
tho thbiV useful and elevated professions of
life.
If the habitual business of the cultivator
'tloes not afford the "rhchYal powers a field
'for their most extended exercise, we know
'not where to look for such a field. Tho
study of agriculture unites to the theory of
science tho very essential material of its
practical parts. It makes the study expert
mentally and truly learnodk
Nearly all that is Useful Tn our pilgrimage
through life, is drawn from the earth. The
"main Use of sdienco is to explore tho miftu-
and to bring forth tho hidden possessions
bf the earth into comprehensive identity.
"Where then is the occupation that so richly
furnishes a perpetual supply of mental food
as that of agriculture. In the constant ex
ercises and every day labor of thb farmer,
tho business of his science is progressing,
i fhis intellect has ben set right in (he edu
cation of his youth. The theory is all es
sential, 'for this constitutes the implement
by which 'he is to prosecutb the study of hu
"man nature to its practical use.
A -man cannot go forth upon tho land
with any good degree of promise ih scien
tific experiment, without the light of past
experience upon his path way, and this he
can only obtain by a passage through the
literary institutions of the country, where
'the results of the labors of the learned for
ages are collected together; aud made ac
cessable to the student; To attempt a pro
secution of thp sciences independent of past
experience as wo sometimes incline to con
sider ourselves, would be vain. There is
bcarcely a valuable discovery of modern
iimes, but has borrowed something of its
proportions or utility from the mind of an
tiquity. That thb, farmer, by a scientific cultiva
tion of his land, can increase to a very great
bxtent it3 productions, there does not exist
a rational doubt. Arid that the time is corri
Ing when there will bo actual necessity for
this increase of production there is every
appearance. It is, therefore not only wise
and expedient to commence or carry it on
now, but it is a high duty which is owed to
posterity, in consideration, of all the bless
ings which past ages havd bequeathed to
Us.
Permit us; therefore, in our Humble way,
ifa impress Upon the minds of the farmers
the very great usefulness of education;
Give yotir sons and daughters riot Hie less

which have been in use ever since the first

would long sinbe have been superceded by
