A G R I C IJ U T TJ HAL. GARNERED FOR THE GAZETTE. By D. A. M. A Short Sermon.— Job v.: 28—And iliou shall be in league with the stones of the field. This is said of the good farmer. Na ture makes a taeit compact, with him to furnish him supplies for the privilege of growing on his territory. The oak sup plies shade for its small tenure of land ; and the vineyard wine, for the use of the trellis. The grasses, for the occupancy of the waste fields, as so many miniature fountains, undertake to pour plenty in to his dairy ; and the beasts of the field render a coy respect to the lord of the place (Job v.: 23). His house is his castle and great men of state bow respective there. Birds and brooks are his retainers and he is “in league with the stones of the field.” God has given him a title in fee simple to all that lies round about him, and to all that runs from that base to its apex in the centre of the earth. He honors him more than the children of men, because he has chosen the first pro fession which God has taught the race His weapons aro the pruning hook and ploughshare, and from his fortified place he shall laugh at destruction,and famine. (Job v.: 21). A little of all is his and he cannot be starved out. Who has such a share in the cloud, the sunshine and the dew, or such resources in the earth? He is the world's natural prince, who can afford to be generous without money, and great without grandeur. Yet the degenerate sons of men sell this heaven ly birthright for a “mess of pottage ” For the real property of life they consent to become the retailers of the hoarded gewgaws of cities. For the solid value of a farmer’s home they choose the nn honorable and perilous pilgrimages of speculation. Why should so many of our strong armed men eschew the farm ; the occupation which God most tfbnors ; the one station where man recognizes no superior but the Supreme ; the nursery of national virtue and valor, and a kind of sanctuary where every object leads the thoughts to Goth A farm is a little world, and the farmer the deputed “lord of all his substance.” It is time that we restore this first and prime occupation of man to its place of honor ; that we ceaso to degrade it to a place of servility to other professions. The storms and the flood, and the cater pillar, and the depleted money current are God's monitors that we are dishonor ing his primeval institutions. Visit a genuine cotton farm. It is a dismantled castle. The vine trails on the ground, the garden is broken down, the dwelling as it were struck by lightning, the fruit trees lean with shaggy tops and broken arms towards the earth, the porch the receptacle of saddles, the hedges of snakes. A grand cotton field absorbs all attention and all the labor of men, wo men, and children. Yet the expected result proves to be a mirage in the desert. The self-denial is without ad vantage, the labor spent for that which is not bread. It is a perversion and degradation of the farm. Ours will be gin to be, with God’s blessing upon it, one of the most prosperous of countries, when we begin to honor our country homes, when we put cotton that has so long fooled us, into its own corner on the farm, where the cereals are cared for, where the grasses carpet the fields, where there is a stall for the ox, and and a room upon the wall for the wayworn traveler and the prophet. We commonly hold everything re sponsible for our poor success but our selves. Bad luck, bad government, heavy taxes, unreliable labor. Yet none of these things hurt us half so much, as our own bad schemes and short-cuts after money power ; and cotton growing, as a substitute for farming, lias fairly disap pointed us in that hope. Then, unsuc cesful, unsettled, the farmer thinks of emigrating to the West. But change of plan rather than change of place only can remedy the evil. Social govern mental evils have their origin and cor rection in us. Virtue, industry, content ment, especially in the home of the farmer, build up individual and national prosperity.—[Anderson Journal. Propagation of the Grape by Eye.— A Gorman agricultural journal informs us that the grape vine can be propagat ed by means of eyes so as to save three years’s time in the growth, each eye furnishing anew shoot. Each grape vine will furnish as many shoots as it has sound eyes, and they are to be cut off about a quarter of an inch from the eye on each side, so as to leave a cylin der of wood about half an inch long, with the eye in the center. If prepared in the autumn, these eyes may be put in a cellar in winter. In April they are to be laid down, at a depth of two or three feet, in furrows about six inches apart, and covered with a little manure, watered in dry weather, and the earth about them occasionally loosened. Watering plants with hot water.— It has lately been shown, by careful ex pcrimont, that sickly potted plants, even scftne that have almost died, can be greatly benefited, and sometimes, in deed, entirely restored to vigor, by ap plying to them warm instead of cold water. In certain cases, oleanders which have never bloomed, or which have done so only imperfectly, after being treated with lukewarm water, increasing the temperature gradually from 140° to 170° produced the most magnificent luxuriance of bloom. Similar results occurred with an old plant of Hoga ; and also with an India rubbei tree which had nearly withered away. In all these cases the application of water heated to about 110° F., without any other precau tion, caused anew and flourishing grow Ih. An editor is a man who is liable to gramatical blunders, typographical errors and lapse of memory, and has twenty-five thousand people watching to catch him tripping—a man of sorrow and acquainted wilh grief: poorly paid, poor ly estimated, yet envied by some of the great men he has made.
