THE TRUE DOCTRINE.
Men may preach, or write, or talk about
the respectability ol this or that profession,
but it will avail little or nothing, unless that
profession is taught to respect itself, to un
derstand its true position and its claims, and
true means of enforcing them. No man
of sense can deny that the profession of ag
riculture is one of the most honorable, use
ful, and indispensable ; that it is the eldest
of the arts, and should—other things being
equal—entitle those who practice it to the
front rank in society. To what then is it
to be attributed that the farmer has been
kept in the back ground, and what by cour
tesy have been called the learned profess
ions, allowed to take the precedence in all
public matters, even to the legislation on
topics which interest the farmer almost ex
clusively, and which he does and should
understand better than any one else ? This
question we have never seen more satisfac
torily answered than in an address deliver
ed at Grenada, Miss., by A. C. Baine, be
fore a meeting convened to devise the ways
and means of building and endowing a col
lege at that place, and for a copy of which
we are indebted to the author. From this
address we shall make a few extracts, con
fident the truths they contain will commend
them to the readers of the Cultivator :
“l confess it is one of the most lamenta
ble marks of the present and preceding
ages, that it is deemed unnecessary to edu
cate a man’s son for a farmer. If one of a
family is to be educated, he is not designed
to till the soil; but is to be placed in a learn
ed profession. Why is not tilling the earth
a profession as learned, and as useful, and
as honorable, as any 4m the Globe ? Be
cause you degrade it. Every boy whom
you educate, yefu instill into him the belief
that he is above the calling of his father.
You teach him that the cultivation of the
earth is servile. But educate him for this
great employment; talk to them of its use
fulness and nobility while they are boys :
and my word for it, the next generation will
not have passed away until the profession
of a planter will be a learned profession.
And you will see the young, the generous,
the talented, age and ambition, pressing in
to it with the same eagerness that they
crowd what is at this day called the liberal
professions. * * *
It is one of the most astonishing, but tolera
ted errors, in the history of mankind, that it
should be unnecessary to educate a farmer.
Why the cultivation of the soil was the first
employment of man ! It is a condition of
his existence, and requires a high order of
mind to manage it successfully. And it
is a fatal mistake that has degraded the
mass of intellect for centuries, to suppose
that a farmer need not be educated. It is
essential ; no man can fill that high sta
tion and dignity—that first office within the j
gift of his Maker—with honor to himself,
benefit to his race, and glory to his God,
without an education; without some profi
ciency in the science of human happiness.
He ought to be instructed in the physical
sciences, and he ought to be able to analyze
his soil, and tell you its composition ; and
the effect upon a given production, of the
excess or absence of given constituents.
He should be a good political economist.
He should understand the law of produc
tion, consumption, of distribution, of supply
and demend. Every man should deem his
son actually disqualified for this noble em
ployment, until he has at least learned this
much.”
Let such sentiments as are inculcated in
this address, become prevalent at the south,
and they will offer a sure guarantee a
gainst opinions which are most ruinous and
destructive ; against the idea that all la
bor is of necessity servile and degrading.
Teach mankind that there is such a thing
as honest industry, honorable and useful :
that success in any pursuit, involvesknowl
edge, research, thought, education, and you
do much to abate prejudices, and smooth
the way for further conquests and acquisi
tions from the domains of error. Let it
never be forgotton, however, that learning
is not education, and that they are not al
ways associated in the, same individual.—
Learning only furnishes the means of edu
cation ; it is not education itself. Gifted
minds, close observers of men and things,
are frequently among the best educated
men, while their pretensions to learning are
small. It is enough to name as examples
of such, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sher
man, and Jesse Buel.
From the Cultivator.
ON BREEDING SHEEP.
J\lessrs. Gaylord a- Tucker. —There is
not a writer of the Cultivator, whose com
munication I read with more unvarying
pleasure, than those of your correspondent
L. A. Morrel. There is something so offl
Hand, so racy, about him—now and then he
“slides” into the “aromatic F’ The man’
who has devoted so much time and care on
the protection of the dependant brute who
lias so feelingly urged the same humane
course on others, must have his heart in the
right place —must be a true friend, a kind
iiusband and father, and a citizen whose
valuable influence is felt over a wide circle
of society. In many, indeed I may say in
most of the positions assumed by Mr. Mor
rcl in the Cultivator, lain happy to say he
has my hearty concurrence. But in the
May No., he has advanced opinions which
lam constrained to difler from. Nor is
this all. He has evinced a want of that
gentle charity which had previously char
acterize all the effusions of his pen. Mr
Morrel may disbelieve in crossing the Sax
-n or Merino sbcr.p v : ;|, -*?,/ English vp.ric.
ties; but was it necessary for him to stig
matize every such effort on the part of oth
ers, as “ some sudden impulse of ill-digest
ed enterprise ;” and to insinuate that it
could originate only in tliQjglesire to “ hum
bug” the public—to “ find a soft one to
gull,” and “obtain one’s price!” Have
not A, B, or C, as good a right to ruisc
cross-breed sheep, as Mr. Morrel has pure
Saxons—and this too, without having their
motives impeached ? Is Mr. Morrel not 11-
ware, that even the fine wcxrled sheep of
Spain, flic parent stock of the Saxons, aro
usually considered the result of an early
cross; that Durham cattle, Berkshire hogs,
the English race-horse, in short, the more
valuable varieties of all kinds of animals,
are the results of crosses? Where then,
the iniquity, or the “ humbuggery,” of at
tempting to supply what one deems the de
fects of one breed, by engrafting on it the
better points of other breed ? The attempt
may fail, but has not every one the right to
satisfy himself on the point? Mr. Murrel
says his conclusibns “take not their hue
from personal interest.” 1 believe him.
From the acquaintance formed with him
through his writings, 1 believe him too much
ofa gentleman, to advocate falsehood mere
ly to bbiiefit his purse. But there are men
whom I know to be just as elevated, and a
bove wielding a mercenary pen, as 1 believe
Mr. Morrel to be,* who are actually enga
ged in experimenting in the crosses between
the Spanish and English varieties. Why
should not some of these men turn round
and impeach Mr. Morrel’s motives ? It is
as easy to recriminate, as it is to criminate.
And have the Saxons .never had anything
to do with “ humbuggery never found
any “soft ones to gull?” Let the men
who have purchased them at §SO, §IOO, or
§l5O, a head, answer ? And would it be
less natural to suppose that a breeder of the
variety, looked buck with a certain hank
ering after a return of such times, than that
other men, every way as elevated, looked
forward to some new speculation ? I again
repeat, however, (hat I feel confident Mr.
Morrel is entirely above any such consider
ation. I would only show him that it is
never expedient to impute wrong motives,
in a controversy, to men, who are no more
interested in the result, and consequently
no more likely to be influenced by such
motives, than ourselves.
And on what grounds does Mr. Morrel
thus scatter his arrows right and left, and
defy the world to a controversy with him ?
Has he given us the conclusion of a long
experience ? Has he given us the. results
of accurate experiments ? Has he given
us the “ knock-down facts” which he claims
are so much better than “ attempts at guess
ing,” and “ mere speculation ?” Oil no !
His denunciation of others, is based merely
on his “ opinion” of what their experiments
will lead to ! lie guesses they will fail, and
therefore he cries “ mad dog,” “ specula
tion,” in advance .’ Ho has not tried it, but
by a rare species of intuition, not vouchsa
fed to ordinary mortals, he knows without
trying it ! Why, my dear fellow, are not
other people’s guesses, speculations, and 0-
pinions, as good as your own ? Why de
mand that your guesses and opinions should
be met only by facts: “ knock down facts!”
j Is it not asking a little too much ?
STOCKPORT.
! * I would say to Mr. M. in my own behalf, that
I have bred some English sheep, and seen more;
that I have dabbled some in crosses, but only for
my own information and amusement, never hav
ing sold any.
“ FREE MARTINS.”
When a cow has twins, one of which is a
bull and the other a heifer, the last is known
bv the name of free martin, and the gener
al impression is that such are always bar
ren In a late note to us, J. Cooper, of
Chester co. Pa., says, “ Having spoken last
year to some of my friends, of two instances
in which it was probable that heifers were
likely to breed, both of which were twins
to males, I can now state that they have
both produced calves this spring. As it is
supposed by most people that this circum
stance can only happen when the heifer
was the larger of twins, I have made some
inquiries on this point. In the first case,
the female was decidedly the larger of the
two ; in the latter case, from what I could
learn, I think there could be little doubt
there was the same condition existing in the
two, although the difference in size may
not have been as marked as in the first in
stance.”
From the Louisville Journal,
FARMER, A WORD
W hat did Loco focoism bequeath to the
country ?
Mr. Van Burenleftusa bankrupt treas
ury. He left the public interest every
where abandoned.
He left us without a currency.
He left us a debt of fifteen millions.
He left us the North Eastern and North
Western Territorial questions—though of
years duration—unsettled.
The Compromise Act he left us at the
year ofits conclusion, and treasury notes
in lieu of manly revenue action.
And with all these difficulties, foreign
and domestic, piled “ mountain high” up
j on the shoulders of the new administration
j the Whigs are asked for the promised re
! form.
Suppose, friend farmer, in the generosi
ty of your confidence, you had employed
an unworthy overseer upon your farm
that you had confided in him for years,
trusting in his promises. Suppose this o
verseer to have suffered your land to have
run wild—to have destroyed your timber—
to have levelled your buildings to the land
—to have fired your orchard—to have
killed your horses ; to have run you thou
sands of dollars in debt; and that under
such circumstances, he had been discharg
ed by you, and, and a successor appointed
in his stead. In this state of things, while
the newly engaged superintendent of your
premises was busy in planning the repara
tion of these injuries, imagine that the villa
inous wretch who hadcaueed them all. were
to come upon the ground, and with a grin
on his face, ask the following question :
Wby does not the corn grow upon this
land which 1 suffered to run wild ?
Why is thore no cash coming from the
mills for the timber that I destroyed ? .
Why are not the houses erected in the
stead of those that / burned down ?
Why have you no horses, to supply the
places of those which I killed ?
Why is there no return from the orchard
that 1 Jired I
Why have you not paid the thousands of
dollars, to the amount of which l ran you in
debt ?
Don’t you think, in this state of the case,
that neither church or state could prevent
you from knocking the rascal down ?
This is a true picture of Loco Focoism. !
Twelve years has it ravaged and laid j
waste every interest, undoing in an hour
that which for years lias taxed the virtue
and wisdom of the nation, and now, we who
are groaning beneath its enormities, are in
sultingly asked. * Why have you not built

A Remedy for Laudanum. —A physician
in Baltimore tried an experiment in restor
ing by cold water, a girl to consciousness,
who had taken Laudanum. A small stream
of cold water was poured-upon her face
from a pitcher, as she lay upon her back,
and after a few minutes lime a twitching of
the muscles of the face ensued, which grad
ually increased ; then a spasmodic catch
ing for breath, and in a short time a strug
gle, with those who held her of some vi
olence took place, The great object was
accomplished, and the torpor was so far
gone that the patient spoke. She was then
placed on her feet, and being held by a
1 couple of stout negroes, the stomach pump
j was applied, with the aid of which an ernet
l ic was administered, and the stomach com
pletely relieved of its contents and the girl
was finally restored.

A FENNY SAVED IS TWO PENCE EARNED.
Subscriber is now offering to the Far-
Jl- mors of Georgia, “MIMS’ W ROUGIIT
IRON PLOUGH STOCK,” invented by the
Messrs. Seaborn J. & Marshall Mims, ot Oc-,
lebbahan county, Mississippi, and patented by
them. This PLOUGH in every respect is the
most desirable PLOUGH STOCK ever offered

ty with convenience—it will last a great many
years without repair or expense, and will admit
of every variety of Plough Hoes, (three tooth
harrow excepted,) with perfect conveniejxo and
facility—it is not heavier than the ordinary wood
en stock, yet far stronger, and being so very sim
ple in its construction, that any blacksmith in
the country can make them.
Sample Ploughs may be seen and tried at Mr.
Dense’s Shop in Milledgevillc; at Mr. Martin’s
Shop in Sparta, and at Mr. F. B. Billingslca’s in
Washington, Wilkes county. Let the Farmer
examine the Plough, and he will purchase the
right to use them.
The Subscriber proposes to sell county rights
on the most accommodating terms.
O’ All communications on this subject, post
paid, addressed to me at Milledgeville, or Wash
ington, Wilkes county, will meet with immedi
ate attention. “ B. 1,. BARNES,
