' . AGRICULTURAL..
. Agriculture Its Resources.
Tht Capabilities of JgriclUrt ought not to
t judged by anything that has yet transpired.
The old Roman knew something of the art.
Modern Europeans hare learned more. We,
in this country, are making advances. A thou
sand minds are Intensely inrestigating the
means for increasing the earth's productive
ness. Success is already achieved, sufficient
to warrant the expectation of further advances.
Bat 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 QueenYictoria, or even between
those of Washington and our own, we 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 tak is a greas 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 naturt of agriculture.
What does .Igrivullurs propost to do t Not
to create something out of nothing. That
might be, certainly would be, too hard a task.
2ot to work with sparing materials. There is
a great deal of breadstuff in the air and the
ground. The very rocks are full of it. Eve
ry drop of rain contains It. Using ever so
much does not diminish the supply j for soon
it returns to its otigmal coudition, and is rea
dy to be nsed over again. Some English man
ufacturer, a few years ago, found out that by
taking old pants, picking them in pieces, and
working them over, he could spin and weave
(hem 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. Thoy told "it was not wool ; it
u shoddy ;" and we did not like shoddy much;
bnt it was using the same materials over ; there
was economy for somebody, if not for the buy
er; and if we will forever buy onr pants abroad,
instead of giving the wool-growing to our own
farmers, and the cloth-making to onr own ma
nufacturers, and the fitting to our own tailors,
it is good enough for us if we do get cheated.
But 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 ; perhaps
after 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 of our forefathers,
make ours, bad mads 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 Ledlcy ever thought of doing, and
have constituted a part of the food at tuoro ta
bles than he ever sat by ; and yet are not ihod
?1T -are just as good as ever, and will be till
the end of time. More than nine-tenths of the
materials for all plants are taken from the air
less than one-tenth comes from the ground.
The business of agriculture is to work over
the materials to nse them again as food form
ers. Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, as they
exist in atmosphere and water, aflord 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 itnpor
tant office in the support ot 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 move in
spite of him, but 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
south of Canada, wc hear, is lecturing, that
the world is soon coming to as end. If he
can point to a declaration of revealed religion
to this effect, we will respect his research. So
far as he bases his doctrine npon the alleged
fact, that the earth, physically, waxing worse ;
that man has almost spoilt it as a residence
for human beings; that it can produce food
and clothing only a littlo longer, we take issne
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 bavingJimini shed the earth's capabili
ty of furnishing food, the contrary is true.
Hitherto the only limit to the production of
food has been in the non-payment ot a suffi
cient price to remunerate the fanner. We can
remember the time, when the lawyer had 60
cents for writing a dunning letter of three
lines, and the farmer got threo cents for a
ponnd of veal. The time was,wben nearly the
whole population of our country was employ
ed in agriculture. The pcrverseness of the
British government, In the first instance, and
subsequently, an error of our own, was the
cause. The manufacturer had no place among
n j and the farmer had no protection. A con
sequence was, that crerybody wanted to sell
farm produce, and nobody to buy. Let the
plow, loom and anvil go together; let but half
the community be engaged in agricoltare ; let
the other half be able and willing to pay fair
prices; and tho earth will show no signs of
having become effete. Her capabilities are
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 to be. 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 e como in
sight of the limit, we need have no fear of
running against. The rule as yet is, the bet
ter a region is cultivated, the more productive
its soil, the healthier it 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. N..York
Observer.
