AGRICULTURAL. + ’'iSS |s3|p II rf w rr- ■* **' * w ji_> >v,<***ci V-fc-v*.'Ks,. Yjrr—fT~. *} •» • '»* . *-.(-• 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.
