Thos- D. Baird in Southern Cultivator.
When God created the world he
gave it a motion. Not only this,
bat he gave this motion a progres
sive nature, which is upward per
petually. Now are the farmers,
the agricultural element of this
creation, keeping this motion?
Certainly we are keeping in mo
tion, but is it a progressive mo
tion, are we keeping up with the
progress of the world? The farm
er that thinks he can do this with
out some exertion on his part is
laboring under a sad mistake.
There is no such thing as standing
still and holding onr own. We are
either progressing or retrograding.
The farmer who thinks he has
reached the summit of improve
ment and acts accordingly, is sure
to commence a backward motion.
This is a law which is manifected
in all nature, and nowhere is this
law manifested more than in agri
culture.
Ever since God spoke - the ary
earth into existence the condition
, of the soil has been upward and
progressive. Geologists tell us
that the soil originally was simply
disintegrated rock; that when the
continents were under the ocean
the force of the water broke off
fragments of rock, and by grinding
these together reduced them to
powder. The air and the water
together caused the elements in
the rock to separate and enter into
new combinations. Thus by de
grees a soil of inorganic material
was formed. The rains brought
down and added to it nitric acid
and ammonia from the air, and on
this primitive soil low orders ox
plants at first began to grow, and
as' they decayed upon the soil, all
they had gathered from the soil
and air they returned to it- Thus
a vegetable mould was formed in
which more highly organized
plants could live. Thus, thvough
long ages the work of preparing
the soil went on, but we see that
progress was onward and upward
until rich prairies have spread their
verdant mantle over the once bar
ren earth; stately forests have
, sprung up, which annually top
dress the land with a rich deposit
of leaves and other vegetable mat
ter which carries on this improve
ment. And it seems that the great
Creator evidently intended that the
world should not only move, but
improve. But man, who was in
tended to co-operate with the Cre
ator in tilling and improving the
sOiLhas more frequently than oth
erwise, retarded the progress of
improvements. Man lands in a
new country and fertility every
where surrounds him. He clears
a farm, he plows, he sows,he reaps,
and from her seemingly exhaust-
less- bosom, the earth gives back
abnudant hr,rvest, and like the Is
raelites of old, seems to think that
to-morrow will be as to-day but
more abundantly. But, alas, a
change appears. The corn is less
verdant, then less abundant, andii-
nally disappears altogether.
Men are slow to learn the lesson
of improvement taught by the Cre
ator, both by example and by the
laws which He has improssed on
all His works. MeD, so long as
they can draw on the soil for a liv
ing and have their drafts honored,
are careless about making any de
posits. Now and then we find one
who is provident and enterprising
and keeps his land improving, but
the majority are driven to make
improvements only by stern neces
sity, or stimulated by their more
enterprising neighbors.
It seems under nature’s system
of husbandry, the soil becomes
richer. This should leach us a
lesson, and we should endeavor to
adopt her Bystem of managing the
isoil. Notwithstanding the vast
amount ot nutritive matter annual
ly absorbed by the., roots- of the
growing forests under nature’s sys
tem of husbandry .everything taken
from the soil is ultimately return
ed with interest. The leaves and
broken twigs, and eventually the
branches, trunks and roots in their
-decay give back not only what they
receive from the soil, but much in
addition that they have elaborated
from the atmosphere. Thus we
see, though the soil has produced
a heavy forest for ages, yet a kind
Providence has so arranged na
ture’s system of tilling as to hand
down to us no worn out soils. We
are certainly under obligation in
the same degree, as successors to
nature,' to obey her laws and-so
-till the soil as not to injure or de-
" stray it, but that it may improve,
that it may progress upward.
