Agriculture Its Resources.
The Capabilities of Agricvllurt ought not to
be judged by anything that has yet transpired.
The old Romans knew something of the art.
Modern Europeans have learned more. We,
in this country, are making advances. A thou
sand minds are intensely investigating the
means for increasing the earth's productive
ness. Success Is already achieved, sufficient
to warrant the expectation of further advances.
But if we look at the present means for diffu
sing intelligence, by the printed sheet and by
the telegraph, writing the news at the place
desired, though hundreds of miles off, instead
of writing it at home and sending by a post ;
if we compare present facilities for manufac
turing with past; or if we look at the strides
made in navigation between the times of Queen
Elizabeth and QueenVictoria, or even between
those of Washington and our . own, u shall
find that science has not yet achieved for agri
culture what she has for other departments of
human enterprise. But we are not to despair.
The task is a great one. . She will yet achieve
more for this great interest than for all others.
In order to understand this subject fully, let
us look at the nature of agriculture.
What does Agriculture propose to do ? Not
to create something out of nothing. That
might be, certainly would be, too hard a task.
.Not to work with sparing materials. There is
a great deal of bread-stuff in the air and the
ground. The very rocks are full of it. Eve
ry drop of rain contains it. Using ever so
ranch does not diminish the supply ; for soon
it returns to its original condition, aud is rca
dy to be used over again. Some English ruan
ufacturcr, a few years ago, found out that by
taking old pants, picking them in pieces, and
working them over, he could spin and weave
them anew, and make new pants of them. We
wondered what made our pants wear rough
and tear easy, lose their shape and stick out at
the knees. They toli "it was not wool ; it
was shoddy ;" and we did notlike shoddy much;
but it was using the same materials over; there
was economy for somebody, if not lor the buy
er; and if we will forever buy our pants abroad,
instead of giving the wool-growing to our own
farmers, and the cloth-making to our own ma
nufacturers, and the fitting to our own tailors,
it is good enough for us if we do get cheated.
Bat look at the economy ; the same wool that
made theDuke of Portland's pants last winter,
will make those of his servant next, those of
servant's waiter the third ; and then make a
warm blanket for his horse the fourth ; and af
ter that be fit to grind into a new blanket for
his Suffolk pigs the fifth, and so on ; tmrhaps
alter a while to be shipped in some taking
form to this country. It is so with the mate
rials of plants and ot human food except the
cheat. The same elements of matter which
which made the dinners ol our forefathers,
make ours, had made those of their ancestors
back to Adam, and will make those of our de
scendants as long as time lasts. The phos
phate of lime in your beef and bread, the sul
phate of lime in your corn cake, and the pot
ash in your potatoes, have figured at many a
table ; and the organic elements combined in
them have travelled round the globe more
times than Ledley ever thought of doing, and
have constituted a part of the food at more ta
bles than he ever sat by ; and yet are not shod
dy are just as good as. ever, and will bo till
the end of time. More than nine-tenths of the
materials for all plants arc taken from the air ;
less than one-tenth comes from the ground.
The business of agriculture is to work over
the materials to use them again as food form
ers. ' Carbon,- hydrogen and oxygen, as they
exist in atmosphere and water, afford no food ;
are mere air wind, if in motion, nothing
more. The farmer combines them, as starch,
in the kernal of wheat, corn, rye, barley, rice
or oats. Thus combined, they form an impor
tant office in the support of animal life ; and
then are pretty sure to find their way back in
to the next year's crops. All nature is in mo
tion; moves for man's good; will movo in
spite of him, bat will move to better results if
he understands her laws and demeans himself
in accordance. The resources of agriculture
are illimitable. A learned Doctor, somewhere
outb. of Canada, we hear, is lecturing, that
the world is soon coming to an end. If be
can point to a declaration of revealed religion
to t.his effect, we will respect bis research. So
far arbe bases bis doctrine npon the alleged
fact, that the earth, physically, 3 waxing worse ;
that man has almost spoilt it as a residence
for human beings; that it can produce food
and clothing only a little longer, we take issue
with him. Man can no more harm the globe
permanently, than the smallest fly can mar the
proportions of St. Peter. So far from culti
vation having diminished the earth's capabili
ty of furnishing food, the contrary is true.
Hitherto the only limit to the production of
food has been ia the non-payment ot a suffi
cient price to remunerate the farmer. We can
remember the time, when the lawyer had 50
cents for writing a dunning letter of three
lines, and the farmer got three cents for a
pound of veal. The tinio was,when nearly the
whole population of onr country was employ
ed in agriculture. The perverscness of the
British government, in the first instance, and
Mbseueaiy, aa error of our own, was the
cause. The manufacturer had so place among
us ; and the farmer had no protection. A con
sequence was, that everybody wanted to sell
farm produce, and nobody to buy. Let the
plow, loom and auvil go together ; Jet but half
the community be engaged in agriculture ; let
Jhe other half be able . and willing to pay fair
prices ; and the earth will show - no signs of
having become effete. Her. capabilities arc
yet almost intact. Old as agriculture is, com
pared with other arts, it is yet in its infancy
has hardly begun its work of making the
arth what "we believe it is destined tobe It
is a fact beyond all controversy, that the more
the soil is made to produce, by ' judicious
means, the more it becomes capable of produ
cing. If there is a limit to this, it is a great
way off fairly out of sight.' Till we come in ,
sight of the limit, we need have no fear of
running against. The rule as yet is, the bctr
ter a region is cultivated, the more productive
its soil, the healthier its climate, the more de
sirable every way. So well convinced are we
of this, that we really wish that all who live
by fighting, all who live by rascality, and all
who find nothing else to do, would mend their
lives and go to cultivating the soil. X. York

Bees asd QuAns appear to have been entire
ly unknown among the Indians. The quail
makes his first appearance when the white man
plows and sows his field, and when the Indians
see swarms of honey bees they sadly acknowl
edge that it is time to abandon their pleasant
hunting grounds, and seek new homes.

holloway's ointment.
THE GRAND EXTERNAL REMEDY.
BY the aid of a microscope, we see millions of
littlo openings on tho surface of our bodies.
Through these this Ointment, when rubbed on the
skin, is carried to any organ or inward part. Dis
eases of the Kidneys, disorders of tho Liver, affec
tions of the Heart, inflammation of the Lungs,
Asthmas, Coughs and Colds, are by its means ef
fectually cured. Every housewife knows that salt
passes freely through bono or meat of any thick
ness. This healing Ointment far more readily
penetrates through any bone or fleshy part of the
living body, curing the most dangerous inward
complaints, that cannot be reached by other means.
ERYSIPELAS. SALT RHEUM AND SCORBUTIC
. HUMORS.
No remedy has ever done so much for the cure
of diseases of tho tkin, whatever form they may
assume, as this Ointment. No caso of Salt Rheum,
Scurvy, Sore Heads, Scrofula or Erysipelas, can
long withstand its influence. Tho inventor has
travelled over many parts of the globe, visiting
the principal hospitals, dispensing this Ointment,
firing advice as to its application, and has thus
een the means of restoring countless numbers to
health.
SORE LEGS, SORE BRE A STS, WOUNDS AND
ULCERS.
Some of the most scientific surgeons now rely
solely on the use of this wonderful Ointment, when
having to cope with the worst eases of sores, ulcers,
wounds, glandular swellings, and tumors. Profes
sor H.olloway has, by command of tho Allied gov
ernments, dispatched to the hospitals of the East,
large shipments of this Ointment, to be used un
der the direction of the Medical staff, in the worst
cases of wounds. It will cure any ulcer, glandu
lar swelling, stiffness or contraction of the joints,
even of 20 years' standing.
PILES AND FISTULAS,
these and other similar distressing complaints
can be effectually cured if the Ointment be well
rubbed in over the parta affeeted, and by otherwise
following tho printed directions around each pot.
Both the Ointment and the nils should be used
t the following cases :
Bunions, Mercurial Eruptions, Swelled Glands.
Burns, Chapped Hands, Stiff Joints,
Chilblains, Rheumatism, Ulcers,
Fistulas, Salt Rheum, Venerial Seres.
