aarfcaltural. From the Albany Cultivator. 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 Up what WE HAVE TORN DOWN I 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.

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 to a planting community. It combines durabili 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.
