ADDRESS
To the Putnam Agricultural Society, deliver
ed by Hie lion. Judge Strong, in .lugusl
lust.
We have once more, assembled for our
mutual improvement in the art of agricul
ture. To effect this peaceful ami desirable
object, il is indispensable, that we should, as
members of tins society, freely exchange
ideas on the process nml result of our differ
ent modes of cultivation, nnd thu improve
ment of our lands. A3 the process of vege
tation takes place in secret, beyond the im
mediate observation of man, subject to the
influences of soil, atmosphere, and various
other causes, it is often extremely difficult
to determine the cause, or combination iff
ratises, to which success or failure should he
attributed.* Well regulated, hut diversified
experiments alone, can form a'ratiutmi foun-
i.f—And
The great object which tho farmer should
l.orp in view, is to rentier his soil capable of
being completely pulverised by the mode-!
rate use of the plough and action of the. at
mosphere, and nf ireiving and retaining
such a due proportion of moisture, as may
to- mill'll lent in nourish the mips that grow
on it, and to absorb or throw off that super
fluous water which would prove injurious j
In order to atluiu tins desirable object, it is
necessary that some knowledge of the cha
racter of the primitive earth, and of those
combinations which form the different soils,
should he possessed or acquired. The pri
mitive earths are four in number—at least,
this is Kervan's division of them, and being
the most simple, will the better answer our
purposes—namely, caleal ions, sometimes
called mila calx (partaking of culk or lime)
silieinus, (in which flint and sand predomi
nates) argil, that part of clay to which it owes
its property of fci ling soft and unctions, ami
of hardening in file, and Magnesia. Soils
are composed of I wo or more of thesu pri
mitive earths in different proportions, toge
ther with various vegituhle and atmospheric
combination, forming what we usually term
grey, red, mulatto, and black soils ; loam de
notes any soil moderately cohesive, that is,
less so than clay, and more so than chalk.—
Perhaps the one half of the soils io this slate
may be denominated grey ; and such soils
are always calcarioos or silicious, when calx
or chalk predominates to an excess. The
best durable manure is clay and sand, or
sandy clay. When (silex) sand predomi
nates, or forms the principle quantum of its
composition, the use of clay i* indisprnsiihh
—for its deficiency in that article, makes it
loose and poms, and consequently mireteu-
tive of moisture or of either vegitable, nni
inal or atmospheric manure. Such soils are
frequently found upon an aluminous (clay
ey) substrata. Where this is the ease, deep
ploughing, with well constructed mould
board ploughs, will turn up when properly
regulated, a sufficiency, which, when inter
mixed with the soil, will improve its compo
sition, and render il much more productive
and lasting.
Every person who has observed the tex
ture of tile different slratas ofeurtlis, thrown
up in the process of digging wells, in this re
gion of country, must have observed, that
calcnrious matter abounds. Where the soil
is too sandy, the application of this chalky
matter intermingled with fine clay (in tin
absence of urgillaciuus marl) would ensure
improvement. Red soil partakes of lion
ferruginous, but ci ty predominates, sand and
vegitable manure is llie proper addition.—
Mulatto soil is composed, perhaps of ihe
most various and the best compositions, and
consequently very productive and lasting.—
Clay, usually line sand with a mixture

tinned, should forthwith adopted, the ho

hands of industry, in this climate, is wealth.
The inodes of improving soils are various,
as before observed—if the soil is too abun

of clay or vegitable matter—if there he an
excess of calcaneus matter ill soils, as in
chalky soils, it may be improved by the ap
plication nf sand clay, nr earthy substances.
A deficiency of vegiiablu nr animal matter
must he supplied by manure.—an excess of
vegitable matter is tn lie removed by burn
ing or summer ploughing, and exposure to
the sun. It is a source of pleasing reflection,
and should increase our gratitude to God,
that the substances necessary for improve
ment is seldom far distant. Coarse and is
often found immediately upon chalk, fa per
haps, always under it, while beds nf sand
and gravel are commonly below clay, and
clay generally In-low sand. We should a-
vnil ourselves of these advantages—For it
has been justly observed, that the expence
of improving the texture ofllie soil is amply
repayed by the great permanent advantages
they produee. Less manure is afterwards
required, Ihe future fertility of the soil is en
sured, and capital thus expended, secures
forever the productiveness, and consequent
ly the value of the land.
The result of experiments made among
ourselves are, and will he the most relied on.

rains, this soil appeared dry, and that when
the ground elsewhere was too wet, the
plough could run there, with advantage.—
These facta led me to a mure minute enqui

ANECDOTE.—W hen Governor I’reston
van m this state Iasi year, he communicated
lie following anecdote to several gentlemen,
and as the subject nf it is a native Georgian,
and furnishing at all times, and under any
circumstances, a peculiar source of interest
and pride to his country, it is deemed nut
iiiuvoithy of publication. At tho battle ol
Williamsbnrgl), in Canada, commonly called
Ihe engagement at Chrysllcr’s Farm, on the
llth November, 1813, it is well know n, that
both Governor Preston and Col. Gumming
cverely wounded. On that same e-
vening. it being very void and sleeting, the
wo mded were brought across the St. Law
reneo for shelter, to a small Village called,
th ilk, St. Regis. Governor Preston was
fortunate enough to obtain very comfortable
quarters ; hut on account of the great num
ber of wounded, everyplace was soon oc
copied, and many were subjected Io very
dreary and heartless accommodations. Ad
joining the room in which the Governor
placed, there appeared to he a passage, from
the constant noise of persons walking to and
fro, and in one corner of which, for the want
of a better place, he had no difficulty in as
certainiiig, they were making preparations
in lav down some unfortunate sufferers.—
Knowing how distressing their situation
would he, he sent his servant to enquire w ho
they were, and to offer them a birth in his
chamber. Upon the return of the messen
ger, he w as informed that Col. Cummins
and another gallant officer, whose name I
have foi gotten, were the occasion of the
noise in the passage. The idea of affording
assistance to a brother soldier, w as of course,
extremely gratifying; but in this instance, it
was attended with peculiar sensibility to the
Governor, as he stated, lor of all the. surviv
ing sufferers, none so much deserved I lie re
lieving hand of t are as Col. Curntning ; and
when he contrasted his then w retched and
fallen situation, stretched upon a straw mat,
in a cold, wet thoroughfare, far from friends
and kindred, with that brave and lofiy, and
animated part w hich lie had taken, hut a
few hours before, in the no less perilous than
unequal battle, he was overwhelmed by the
force of feeling, and he gave way Inn sympa
thy which is better felt than described.
The Colonel and his companion were re
moved to the room of Governor Preston,
and afle.r their respective wounds were di es
sed, they lay conversing on the events of the
day, until a late hour in the night, when the
conversation gradually died away, and the
Governor supposed his room-mates had
dropped to sleep. About midnight, howe
ver, he was surprised by a sudden hurst of
laughter from Gul. Gumming, and fearing
hi- wound had occasioned a fever that had
affected Ilia head, he spoke in a tone of quick
and Anxious concern, “ Col. Gumming, what
is the matter?” to which he very facitiouslv
replied, “ in reviewing the scene they had
gone through in the day, he was led by a
train of intrusive thought, to a contemplation
of the severe stress of the action upon South
ern officers, in comparison with the effects on
a certain oilier set of officers (that need not
now he mentioned) who had suffered hut ve
ry inconsiderably—and that he could not
help indulging i mirthful humour, when tie
reflected how busy and rushing they were,
where I here- w as no danger, and how readily
they were to be found w here they were not
wan ling.” A. 15.

cultural chemistry, boil consists of different
combination!! of two or more of the four
primitive earths. Now, agricultural chemis
try has fur its object, the ascertainment of
liaise combinations, and all those changes of
matter, and tha oilier elements connected
with the growth and nourishment of plants—
the comparative value of their produce as
food or for raiment, the constitution iff soils,
the manner in which lands may he enriched
by manure, or rendered fertile by different
processes ofcuUivalion. Indeed, itisscarce-
ly possible to enter upon any investigation
iaagrieiiltuie, without finding it connected,
mure nr less, with doctrines or elucidations
derived from chemistry. If land be unpro
ductive, and a system of amelioration is nt-
L :nptid,lhe met hod of obtaining the object, is
by determining the cause of itsslerility, wliich
depends upon some defect in the constituti

. intained a greater proportion of clay than
the surface, yet there was too much coarse
sand. 1 however, shortly thereafter, obtain
ed one of Freeman’s patent ploughs, and in
troduced it in that field, so deep, as to torn
up about three-fourths ofan inch of the sub
soil; this when intermixed with the soil in tlie
course of cultivation, rendered it more cohe
sive, k consequently more retentive of mois
ture. An improvement was manifest in the
production.
I have of late procured larger ploughs, and
intend Io raise still more of the sub-soil to
the surface, under the belief, that there is yet
not a sufficient proportion of argil or aln
mine, or in plain language, pure clay. The
result of even this experiment, I humbly
conceive, should induce us to press on in a-
„ricultiiral improvement—to pry into tile
causes of sterility, and ascertain, and if pos
sible, apply the remedy.

Good .Yen's, for Ihe Government!
The last N. Y. American has a brief ar
ticln nn the “ .Yational Resources,” which
exhibits a very interesting fact. In the an
nual report of the Secretary of The Treasu
ry, of Ihe 10th Dec. he estimates the re
ceipts for the present year at gHi,110,000—
of w Inch the duties were to yield SI 4,000,000,
leaving the residue tn come from other sour
ces. Even upon this basis, he calculates the
reeeijisto exceed the expenses by 51,102,338.
Now, the American informs os, on an au
thority on which lie implicitly relies, that
the duties oo goods imported into the port
f N. Y. alone for the last quarter of 1821,
the 2 first of 1322, and the Sd of 1822, by
estimate, amount to $10,125,678—indepen
dent too of tonnage duties which will a-
mnunt to 3 or S4«0,00U. Thus it appears
that “the amount received and receivable
the single port of N. Y. falls short of the
contemplated estimate for customs in till
the porh of Ihe U. S. only Ly $3,874,322—
nd of the whole estimated expense of the
government only $4,821,983."—And as in
1820, the receipts at N. Y. were about
5-12ths of those of all the polls; ki last year,
a little more than half; then it follows that
in this proportion from F.is source of the
public revenue alone, it will exceed the es
timated expense by more than 6 millions.
This is excellent news, at least for the
government. Money is not only the sinew
of war, hut of tho preparations for it. Let
the revenue go on at this rate, it will not
only contribute to lay op a fund to meet the
instalments of the public debt, but we shall
possess the means of perfecting those in
stitutions which are so intimately connected
with the best defence of the country. \\V
may lay in arms and ammunition—timber
and mcterinls for our navy—go on and build
shells or ships—increase our fortifications—
preserve our army, if not add to it, particu
larly the officers, and cherish our military
academy. It will he in our power to carry
into effect the wise and energetic system,
recommended during the last session by
Mr. Monroe, in his Message on fortifica
tions. A system, which the experience of
the last war so powerfully recommends.—
Meanwhile, though our revenue may thus
relieve our embarrassments, it is our duty to
ivoid all waste and extravngence—to tiling
all salaries to their proper rate—to watch
over all contracts—to investigate all charges
or even the slightest suspicions of frauds—
to scan all the public disbursements critical
i ly—to bunt up ..II public dcfniijacnt—and to
Du o, in tins place, on Saturday i veniii«
