AGRICULTURAL.
From the. Flu/a. Ledger.
EDUCATION OF FARMERS.
A farmer should be a botanist. We do
not mean that ho should understand the
classification, habits and properties of eve
ry plant that grows ; for this knowledge of
details would require his whole time, and
most of it would be useless in agriculture.
We mean that he should understand the
habits and properties of every plant that is
or can be rendered subservient to agricul
ture, in our own or other countries; for
without such knowledge he cannot decide
for himself aboyt the most profitable crops,
or the most profitable modes of producing
them. Every plant used in’ agriculture
can, like every domestic animal, bo so far
altered or improved bv cultivation as to ex
hibit far greater varieties, and be applied
to more purposes than in their wild or un
cultivated state ; and, to be able to make
such improvements, requires a knowledge
of their habits, or their visible modes of
growth, and their requirements of soils,
heat, moisture, sunshine, rain, manure,
shelter or exposure. A farmer may thor
oughly understand the composition of soils
and manures, and the properties of their
component parts ; and yet, without knovvl
edge of the habits and requirements of
plants, lie in only half taught, for lie knows
not how to adapt one to the other. Millions
have been thrown away in attempting to
raise crops upon soils, to which they were
not adapted, and millions more in supply
ing them with manures which they did not
require, or by which they were injured ;
and all might have been saved by a knowl
edge of the habits or requirements of such
crops. Millions have been thrown awav
upon certain crops, when varieties of the
same plant, growing in other countries,
would have amply rewarded the cultiva
tor ; and all this loss might have been pre
vented by a knowledge of agricultural bo
tony.
A farmer should be a geologist. We
do not mean that he should understand the
whole structure of the earth, and the histo
ry ofits revolution in conformation and pro
duction. Rut soils are always indicated
by geological features, and the farmer who
understands them is able to choose a farm
judiciously, and to decide, without the cost
and delay of experiments, upon the crops
or mode of culture for which it is best fit
ted.
A farmer should be a chemist. We
would not require ofhim thatminute knowl
edge of detail which is necessary fora tea
cher of this science, and which can only be
acquired by long, persevering industry in
the laboratory. But we insist that, he should
understand chemistry so far as it is appli
cable to agriculture, and which includes
the compositions of soils and manures.—
Without this investigation, how shall he
know how to adapt one to the other, how to
renovate exhausted soils, or howto change
their character for the production of new
crops ? He may learn by practice ; by
doing what he lias done successfully before,
or what his fathers or Jiis neighbors have
done. But in this ho works blindly, and
may err ; and if he do err, he must reap
.the consequences of his error in time and
labor and money misapplied. The great
source of improvement in English agricul
ture, the best in the world, is the applica
tion of chemistry to the analysis and com
position of soils and manures ; and here we
may say that Davy and its other eminent
chemists have rendered more substantial
benefits to England and all other countries
than all the Wellingtons and Nelsons that
could exist for a thousand years. Davy
.made his discoveries, not in cultivating
crops, but in analysing substance’s to estab
lish principles ; and, having established
them, he lias taught- agriculturists how to
apply them to practice. What is the re
sult ? The growth of a dozen blades of
grass where none grew before, or the ad
vancement of agriculture, in a few years,
further than it had reached before during
centuries.
A fanner should be a meteorologist.—
He need not, like a seaman, be able to
predict every gale for days beforehand, or
determine, at a glance, the direction of the
next breeze. But he should be able, from
general knowledge of meteorological prin
ciples, a knowledge easily acquired, to
foresee so far the general coui;seofthe wea
ther as to house a crop before a storm that
will destroy orgreaily injure it, or to let a
crop stand till a coming storm has passed,
instead of preparing it for rain by cutting
at the wrong time. To-learn this from
practice is the work of many years ; but
to study and apply the observations of oth
ers, or to learn the principles and the signs
which they exhibit, is the work of a few
days or weeks only.
There is such a liranch of knowledge as
agricultural geography ; a knowledge of
the productions of differenr countries, and
of the latitudes, longitudes, temperatures
and soils in which they flourish, and of the
modes of culture required for their produc
tion. When we consider that the majority
of agricultural and horticultural jiroduc
- t'ons of the United States are exotics, or
plants brought originally from other coun
tries, we must see the utility for this know
ledge. If a farmer make this a subject of
investigation, he has ample means of im
proving his crops and his animals by im
portations from countries resembling his
own in soil and climate. Egyptian wheat
has been frequently tried in the Middle and
Northern States, without success ; and a
scientific farmer might have foretold that a
plant which flourishes in arid sands, be
neath burning suns, was not adapted to a
moist soil in a temperate latitude. The
middle regions of China produce the best
silk in the world ; and a scientific farmer
might infer that silk would flourishin Penn
sylvania, a country exactly resembling
the middle regions of China in soil and cli
mate. And experiment has proved what
science could have predicted. With sci
entific knowledge of agricultural geogra
phy, a farmer, by improving opportunities
for sending abroad and importing, may
continually improve the qualities and aug
ment tlie variety of agricultural produc
tions.
But how is this knowledge to be obtain
ed ? All the discoveries in each of these
sciences have been the result of long, in
defatigable labor and great expenditure of
money by numerous individuals, each con
fining himself to a single subject. This
we admit. But the discoveries once being
made, others can apply them w ithout the
labor of the discoveries. Columbus dis
covered America. But every navigator
now knows the way. The chemists .of the
last fifty years have opened anew and
boundless field of discovery. Yet every
one can learn what they have established,
without the cost and labor of their experi
ments. When a thing is demonstrated, its
application can be learned by every* one,
in far less time than the demonstration re
quired. How, then, is this knowledge to
be acquired by farmers ? We answer, in
our common schools ; in schools in which
ail the youth of the country should be in
structed. Principles and their modes of
j application may be learned from books,
| and can be taught by schoolmasters. What
is the present education of our agricultural
youth at school ? They are taught to read
and write, and to cipher. Well may it be
called ciphering, for what they generally
learn of arithmetic has very little practical
value. And what books do they read?—
With a few exceptions, those from which
they learn nothing that may be called sci
ence, physical or moral. And yet halfthc
time that is thrown away upon useless read
ing might be employed upon books that
would impart scientific and practical know
ledge. No man should undertake to cul
tivate a farm without understanding at least
the general principles of agriculture, and
lie should learn these at school, before he
puts his hand to the plough.
IMPORTANCE OF AGRICULTURE.
The world is in a fair w'ay to be driven
into an appreciation of the importance of
agriculture, and the great truth will yet
be understood, that to the labor of the hus
bandman, to the production of actual wealth
from the soil, more than to all the trans
mutations and changes such wealth may
afterwards undergo, is national prosperity
owing. The interests of the world are
identified ; it is only when these interests
are disarranged by ignorance or cupidity,
that general distress ensues.— Albany Cul

Qualification of* Voters,
FOR ELECTORS OF PRESIDENT
AND VICE PRESIDENT.
As there may be some misun
derstanding as to the qualification
of voters for Electors of President
and Vice President, at the election
on the Ist Monday in November,
we think proper to publish the law
declaring who shall he entitled to
vote at that election. The amount
of it is, that every one who could
legally vote on the Ist Monday in
October, can vote for Electors on
the Ist Monday in November.
The law can he found in Prince's
Digest , pages 192-3.
“On the first Monday in November,
1828, and on the first Monday in Novem
ber of every fourth year thereafter, an
election shall be held throughout the State,
at the several places of holding elections
for Senators and Representatives in the
General Assembly, for the purpose of
choosing Electors of President and Vice
President of the United States ; which elec
tions shall be opened and closed at the same
hour and in the same manner, and shall be
superintended and conducted by the same
magistrates and officers, as by law shall be
authorized to superintend and conduct the
general elections of this State.
“ At the said elections,- every person en
titled to vote for members of the General
Assembly, or Representatives to Congress,
may vote for a number of persons equal to
the whole number of Representatives and
Senators to which this State may be entitled
in the Congress of the United States ; and
that it shall be the duty of the Justices or
Magistrates, presiding at the elections to be
held under the authority, and according to
the provisions of this act, to make immedi
ate returns to the Governor of the State, of
the result of said election ; which returns
shall clearly exhibit the number of persons
voting for Electors, the number of votes
given in, the names of persons voted for,
and the number of votes which cacli may
have received.
“ In counties where by law the votes for
members ofthe General Assembly shall be
given at different places, it shall be the duty
of the persons presiding at the different dis
trict elections to meet and consolidate the
returns of the district elections, as by law
required to be done at the general elections ;
which consolidated returns, exhibiting the
result of the elections, as required by the
second section of this uct, they shall imme
diately forward to the Governor of this
State.”
To l>e Remembered !
“ Resolved, by the Senate and House oj
Representatives of the State of Kentucky,
j That, m the late campaign against the Indians
upon the Wabash, Governor William Henry
Harrison has behaved like a hero, a patriot,
and a general; and that for his cool, delibe
rate, skillful, and galiant conduct in the battle
of Tippecanoe, he well deserves the warmest
thanks of his country and his nation.”
Legislature of Kentucky, Jan. 7, 1812.
“ General Harrison has done more for his
country, with less compensation for it, than
any man living.” President Madison.
“ I profess to be somewhat acquainted with
the history of General Harrison’s political,
military, and private life. I am his neighbor,
and live in his county. As to his private lite,
I know of no stain that for a moment sullies
him.” Dr. Duncan, of Ohio.
Colonel Richard M Johnson, now Vice Pre
sident ofthe United States, said, in Congress:
*• Who is General Harrison 1 The son of one
of the sinners of the Declaration of Indepen
dence, who spent the greater part of his large
fortune in redeeming the pledge he then gave,
of his * fortune, life, and sacred honor,’ to se
cure the liberties of his country.
“ Os the career of General Harrison, I need
not speak ; the history of the West is his his
tory. For forty years he has been identified
with its interests, its perils, and its hopes.
Universally beloved in the walks of peace,
and distinguished by Ins ability in the coun
cils of his country, he has been yet more
illustriously distinguished m the field. Dur
ing the late war, he was longer in actual
service than any other General Officer; he
was, perhaps, oftener in action than any one
of them, and never sustained a defeat.”
Colonel R. M. Johnson to General Harrison,
July 4,1813, says :
“ We did not want to serve under cowards
or traitors; but under one [Harrisori] who had
proved himself to be wise, prudent, and brave.”
On the night before the final question on the
Missouri restriction was taken, General Har
rison was warned by one of his associates, that
if he voted against the restriction, he would
ruin his popularity at the North ; he fearlessly
replied:—
“ i have often risked my life in defence of
my country—l will now risk my political po
pularity in defence ofthe union.”
General Wm. H. Harrison says:
“In all ages, and in all countries, it has
been observed, that the cultivators of the soil
are those who are the least willing to parr
with their rights, and submit them to the will
of a master.”
On the subject of selling white men for
debt. General Harrison says, in a letter to Mr.
Pleasants:
“ So far from being willing to sell men for
debts, which they are unable to discharge, 1
am, and ever have been, opposed to all impri
sonment for debt.”
In a letter, on the same subject, to the Editor
of the Cincinnati Advertiser, he says!
“ Far from advocating the abominable prin
ciples attributed to me by your correspondent,
1 think that imprisonment for debt, under any
circumstance hut those where fraud is alleged,
is at wai with the best principles of our Con
stitution, and ought to be abolished.”
In a letter to the Hon. Sherrod Williams,
dated “ North Bend, May 1, 1836,” General
Harrisori says:
“ l have before me a newspaper, in which I
am designated by its distinguished editor,
‘ the bank and federal candidate.’ 1 think it
would puzzle the writer to adduce any act of
my life which warrants him in identifying me
with the interests of the first, or the politics of
the latter.”
The following paragraph, from a memoir of
General Harrison, by J. R. Jackson, Esq., bears
valuable testimony to his religious character :
“ Ah incident which occurred at Philadelphia,
will serve to illustrate his character. On the
evening preceding a Sabbath he was to spend in
that city, two gentlemen waited on him, and
stated, that there were two sects there, more nu
merous than others ; and, therefore, it would be
good policy in him to attend one of these sects in
the morning and the other in the afternoon.
‘ Gentlemen,’ he replied, ‘ I thank you sincerely
for your kindness, but I have already promised
to attend divine service to-morrow ; and when I
go to church, I go to worship God, and not to
electioneer.’ ”
YOU CAN’T COME ItT
Under this head, the spirited lit
tle paper, the “ Democratic Press,”
published in the city of New York,
tells the following capital story :
“ A Locofoco officeholder in
this city, lately called upon an ho
nest Irishman, who resides in the
Sixth Ward,with a request, that he
would subscribe one dollar for the
purpose of erecting a hickory
tree.
‘ By jabers,’ (said the Irishman,)
‘ do you want to buy a whip to be
scourged wid ? Get out o’ me
house,, you desaving villain, or I’ll
lave de mark on ye. Pack off wid
ye!’
“ The officeholder did not wait
for a second bidding.”
