Agriculture is u Scicncr.
A preat many liberally educated
gentleman scout at the suggestion that
there is any science in the cultivation
of the soil, or in horticulture, pomolo
gy and the roaring of domestic ani
mals. Yet, agriculture is both a sci
ence and an art. Some intelligent wri
ters admitted that agriculture is a sci
ence, years ago. In 1795 the Earl of
Dundonald remarked : ‘‘The slow pro
gress has hitherto
made as a suffice is to be ascribed to
the want of education on the part of
the cultivators of the soils, and to a
want of knowledge in such authors as
have writte#ou agriculture of the in
timate connection that subsists between
the science and that of Chemistry. - ’ —
Properly studied, this points to the
want ol farming schools in the coun
try, without which the farmer will not
be able to occupy a proper position.—
A boy intended to boa surgeon, a law
yer, a chemist, is a: an early age put
to learn the hade or profession. The
same things must be done with the boy
whose predictions ate for agriculture.
Scientific knowledge is essential to the
most successful farming He who
knows the composition of the soil
owned or rented, the primary elements
and their proportion composing the
manure at his command, the proper
ties which will feed the crop he wishes
to grow, must nocessarily employ his
capital to the best advantage. In oth
er words, a farmer, in order to be suc
cessful, ought to possess a familiarity
with chemistry. Need we state that
the growth of a plant is caused by the
absorption of certain constituents of
the soil, an 1 that a living plant is but
a transformation into another and vi
talized compound of certain elementa
ry atoms coalesced in the surrounding
earth. It is almost too late in the day
to insist on the close connection sub
sisting between agriculture and chem
istry ; the plea is stale. The man who
can improve the productiveness of the
soil and maintain its fertility, while he
raises crops of any sort, is a scientific
fanner, even if he does not possess suf
ficient ability to roed his Bible or
write his own name.
Danger of Whipping Horses,
Almost tlio first thing boys do when
they begin to drive a horse is to play
the whip. If n hurso ts a littlo un
easy, they will lash him. If ho is
afraid of any object, they put on the
whip. If ho dances and prauccs, they
will erack the whip around him with
all their might to quiet bis fury. If
ho slips for want of being w ell shod,
ho gets a severe cut with the whip.—
If ho happens to stumble, or to make
a mis-step, the w hip is applied with
vengeance. I’rof. Magner, in his
treatise on tko education of horses,
cautions those who drive horses,
against exciting thoir ill will by the
use of tho whip.
Many think they are doing finely,
and are proud of their success in
horse-traiuing, by means of whipping,
or otherwise rousing and ctimulatmg
the passions, and then from necessity
crushing the will of tho animal,through
which the resistance is prompted. No
mistake can be greater than this ; and
there is nothing that so fully exhibits
the ability, judgment, and skiil of the
roal horseman, as tho care and tact
displayed in winning instead of repel
ling the spirited beast. Although it
may be necessary to use the whip
sometimes, it should always be appliftl
judiciously. The legitimate and prop
er use of the whip is calculated to op
eiate upon the sense of fear almost en
tirely. Sensitive horses should never
be left after they have been excited by
the whip or other means, until calmed
down by rubbing or patting tho head
and neck, and give applos, sugar or
something of which the animal is fond.
Eemember the whip must be used
with gTeat care, or it is liable to do
mischief, and may cause irreparable
injury.
When a horse is struck with a whip,
the driver should first understand for
what reason the whip is applied, and
what the effect will bo on the horse.—
Ninety-nine lashes out of one hundred
that spirited horses receive, do infin
itely more harm and injury to the an
imal than good. Before a horse is
touched with a whip, the driver should
enable the beast to understand ichy the
lash is applied. When an ill-natured
driver whips bis team simply because
he feels out of humor, and must weak
his vengeance on something, dumb
animals that are abused by him know
that they are lashed without cause.—
Henceafew castigations will often ren
der them exceedingly ugly.
Saving the Seed of Indian Corn.
American farmers lose thousands
upon thousands of dollars every sea
-Bon, by not securing and planting a
better quality of seed than they have
been accustomed to use, which will
produce a crop in ninety days after the
seed is put in. Fanners who have
been accustomed to raise fifty bushels
of Indian com per acre, may raise one
hundred, with the same cultivation, if
they will be caroful to secure prime
seed.
In proof of tho forpgoing assertion
road the following letter from C. C.
Cooley, Manchester, Ohio, who recent
ly wrote to tho Chairman of tho Club
as follows:
I send you a sack of meal mado
from the preseut season’s crop of corn,
ground on the 9th of August. This is
undoubtedly the earliest large field
com in the United States. I will give
you its history. Some fourteen years
since I received a small ear of eight
rowed corn (early Minnesota, I think).
I planted it for roast:ng ears near a
field of large white corn. The large
com intermixed with it. I saved the
argeat ears for seed; I planted it as
before by the side of the large corn.
That year I noticed a great difference
in the size of the ears, some of the ears
having ten to twelve rows. So I again
saved tho largest and best cars for
seed, and have been doing so from
year to year ; so that I have succeeded
in producing a corn that will yield
quite as much to the acre as any vari
ety of lavga corn. The ears are long,
with twelve to eighteen rows. It can
be fed to stock by tho Ist of August,
or can be shelled and made into meal,
or sold in the market by the 15th of
August; while the common field-corn |
in this neighborhood is not hard
enough to grind before the 10th ol Oc
! tober, making this corn at least two
months earlier than any other varie
-1 ty. I send you two ears of com,
planted May dd ; they speak for tliem
beives. lam cultivating this com on
the Manchester Island, where it has
' no chanee of mixing with other vari
-1 eties. This goes to show that if as
much attention whs paid to the irn
| proveinent of com as there is given to ,
wheat, fruit, hogs, &c., a hundred mil
lion bushels might be added to the an- j
nual crop. Tho land on which this 1
corn is good, but has never boea jna-'
nured. It has been in cultivation a
great number of years. I plant the
corn three by three ami a half feet,
and aiiow three to five stalks to the
hill. The great drouth that has beeu
prevailing here oinee tho Ist of Au
gust has injured the common corn
very much, while this corn being so
early missed tho dry season. The corn
being white, will command a better
price in your market than yellow or
mixed ocm. A bushel of this corn,
■n hen dry, will weigh sixty-on® pounds.
So confident am 1 that this corn is su
perior to any other large field-corn
| that I will give a premiufn of £25 to
any person who will produce any oth
er variety that will equal thri for ear
liness or productiveness. I call it
“Cooley’s early white lield-com.”
Manchester Mills, Manchester,
Ohio, Aug. 10.—We certify that Mr.
C. C. Cooley of this place brought to
our mills on yesterday, August 9, a lot
of new corn, raised the present season,
which we mado into meal. The meal
was very white and of tho best quali
ty. Last season we ground a lot of
th® same Lind of com on the 28th of
August, this corn being nine
teen days earlier.
Ashen-hurst & Foster.
Lockjaw.— A correspondent of the
Scientific Ame.ican says : Let any one
who has an attack of lockjaw take a
small quantity of turpentine, warm it
and pour it on the wound, no matter
where tljo wound is, and relief will
follow in less than cue minute. Noth
ing better can be applied to a severe
cut or bruise, than cold turpentine : it
will give certain relief, almost instant
ly. Turpentine is also a sovereign
remedy for croup. Saturate a piece
of flannel on the throat and chest, and
iu every severo case three to tiro drops
on a lump of sugar may be taken in
wardly. Every family'should have a
bottlo on hand.
It ib a groat thing for a young man
to find out early that he is of the min
imum of importance to the world ; that
while it demands of him everything
that ho can do, it can get on admira
bly without him. In ail its busy,
pressing forces he i3 not missed—bless
you, ha never has been recognized !
Don’t forgot the mistake made by the
fly on the coach wheel, nor the disas
ter that overtook tho ambition of the
frog. Do all you can; sink all selfish
thought of self; and compel out of you
the best that is in you.

BEST PRESS IN AMERICA.
THIS PRESS is destined to take the lead of ail other Presses, because it is so simple that any
I ordinary workman can build one, and because it is so cheao—the eutire cost being loss
than Fifty Dollars; so speedy in its operatiou, requiring only eight rounds with a twelve foot
lever to press a Dale of Cotton ; so convenient that the box can be placed at the lint-room
door ; bence it is decidedly the best Press extant. See what the public say :
DeSoto County, Miss., June 10, 1871.
This certifies that I have used the WILSON IMPROVED COTTON PRESS, and that it is
the pest Press I have ever used. I can cheerfully recommend it to the public. I. OWEN.
