Agricultaral Department. T CONDUCTED BY JONATHAN SIMMONS, |

The Father of Esilightened Americ Agriculture. It is now some time since Prof. Jam J. Mapes rested from his labors on t earth which he loved with the affection of a child; and the soil which so geniall holds his ashes to-day is, in our opinion, more indebted to his life long studies, specch and efforts, than to those of any other American agriculturist, : It will always be said by discriminat: ing criticism, that Mapes did for usin farming what Cadmus did for languag in Greece—what Noah Webster, who w the schoolmaster of our Republic, and made forty millions of people talk one language instead of a score of dialects, did. by bis'spelling bovk and dictionary fo the American people. : Every nation must have its Romulus ae every continent must have its Columbus, and every ecience its Archimedes. | Baron von Leibig is now the recognizei cbief ot living agricultural ‘chemists; and a careful comparison of their works by dates, 'as they appeared, will show tha in several important things Mapes was hi torerunner. In drainage, and sub-soil plowing particularly, he did a great work& ‘He showed that the result of a slight deepening of the arable soil would bring@ more to American farming every year tha the total cost of carrying on the fed;era? government, : , * Mapes was the pioneer of enlightened American agriculture, and in/ its future history he will always hold. his place. I‘l will never cease to be true that he was th first American who set his countrymen t% thinking and studying earnestly about th capacities of their soil. Here his chie glory lies, 1t was for long years his darv ling theme, in a thousand addresses an articles; in daily conversation and corre-’ spondence with farmers from all sectjons; in helping to form and build up the Am; erican Institute, and farmers’ clubs, an(i agricultural societies; in inspiring young men with a love of soil culture and i opening to them ‘head, heart, home ang pursc—these were among the charming pursuits of his noble life. : No man was more beloved by friendL or family, Liviag withou! ostentation), or ambition for/wealth, bis chiet domesti happiness was/in seeing his children gro up happy and eulightened. } . - All tkrough life Mapes’ society waP sought for by great and cultured men,wh were drawn to him',by tke magnetism his heart and genius, and ;the exuberan wealth of his information and sympathy, Perhaps those who knew him bést wer most struck with his great natural menta capacity. While he seemed to exhaust any subjeet he touched, he dropped it al last ag a matter he had only glanced ’att In fact he had time only to glance, no fully to unfold. To his listeners his wholt intellectual life appeared but successiv ranges of Pisgah heights from which hp caught glimpses of the far-off “Promised land.” He was pre:eminently a tlu'nkinb man, - He thought more than he read —and he thought much on any subject before he read on it at all. Ifhe happened'to tall on & good author, he would read a sentence and then shut the book, and allow his'own thoughts to have full swa?. One flash from nature, or a yolume, was enough to set him on fire. i . Yes, the name of Mapés will live nqt only in the hearts of thosé who knew him, but in the history of the origin of enlightened American agriculture, when it comes to be written. Its historian will then point to his tomb and say: b “In yonder grave your Druid lies.” \

Garden Soil and Its Preparation. | ~ Try to select a light, not a heavy soil, and a south-eastern, rather than a north - western exposure. It clayey, make it fﬁi ble by adding sand or sandy soil, wooy mould, or preparcd muck. To pr’epaie muck, dissolve a bushel of salt in water enough to slake tour bushels of lime (oyster shell lime is the best,) and slake t.li:e lime with this solution. The lime-and ‘salt mixture should be prepared under cover, or put under cover when prepared, - to prevent rains from washing away its most soluble parts. Let it remain so for several weeks, turning it occasionally before mixing it with the muck. Then rjix it with the-muck at the rate of four bushels to a 4 cord of muck. Treated in ‘this way the latter will soon decompose, lose all acidity, and be ready, when composted wich farm-yard fertilizers, to act as a divisor and to absorb and retain gases resulting from the decomposition. Thus " ammonia, which has a marked inﬁuexice on the coloring of plants, will besaved. _Muck treated in this way will be valuable for a garden soil having but a small percenfage of organic matter. Besides improving the mechanical condition of bdth ‘clayey and sandy soils, it will also ren¢er them earlier than they otherwise would “be, on account of its capacity to absorb - and retain heat, and the roots of plants|in such a soil are not so-liable to injury from intense freezing. . l A garden soil, if possible, should |be trenched, for many reasons of a mechanical and chemical kind. = Suffice it to say that in.such a soil, plants will not suffer from drought, because the air in circulating through it deposits moisture on the surface of its particles. - The soil, at| a certain depth, being at a low ;emperatu{re in hot weather, when, plants need moi%tufe most, and when there is plenty of|it in the air, will have moisture depositéd on its particles because of their being at a lower temperature than the surrounding atmosphere. A piece of polished steel taken from an ice house and exposed to the summer air will have moisture at onte deposited on its surfqﬁe, for it is at a low er temperature than the atmosphere; and the’same will be true of a deeply trenched garden soil when the air circulates fresy through its particles, which it will do|it not pervaded by stagnant water. { In loosening the soil about plants, \Lse a fork rather than a spade. It will do the work better, and with less injury to the roots. : : |

God in Nature. | No one has a better opportunity of wit - nessing the wonderful workings ot God in the wide field of nature than the farmer. His occupation brings him every day 1n full view of them. He is familiar with the progressive development of the young plant, and tlie matured beauty of its full growth. He is well acquainted with the sunshine and the shadow, the softly falling dew and the heavy rain, the gentle breeze and the rushing tempest. Some, " from their very familiarity with these ¢vidences of divine wisdom, lose all interest in them, and look on them with little mere regard than the beasts that perish. Othérs,indeed,recognize the hand of Gad; look on its movements with awe and dread—but go no further. Bat it isonly the christian that can see in everything the band of a Fatber. Other men may see and admire; he can love and praise. Eyerywhere around him he sees the finger of God, and rejoices to know that that God is his friend; and when, in the tempest or thunderstorm, men’s hearts ﬂe failing them for fear, he can be in peace, knowing that he is a son of Him wh(f:x the winds and the seas obey. Truly, the christian farmer possesses greater pleasures and more exquisite joys than other men have any idea of, and if they have got ‘ experienced these, they have never met, true happiness. Reader, have you?

- Few Sheep on the Farm. i The relative profit is much greater f’xpm a small flock than froma lgr%e one. The grain farmer, no matter how few his acres, can make money by keeping a few sheep. There is always room for them somewhere, and they consume and turn into money food that otherwise would waste. But he must be carefal not to overstock. ‘ - To illustrate, suppose the farmer cultivates -ro‘nlé eighty acres, raising gratin chiefly. He keeps & few cows and the

necessary teams. One fifth of the farm is in pasture, onefifth is in meadow; one planted, one spring grain, and one wheat. He thinks he has as much stock as he can profitably keep, but if he puts on one sheep for every five sacres, he will find their product clear gain. In the spring, early, they can run on the sod which is to be planted, and one sheep to each acre will not hurt the land, and they will live well. ~After that they can go into the pasture and glean after the cows.to advantage. A run on the stubbles after harvest will not be felt ‘where each sheep bas two acres, and in the fall there is plenty of feed. Through the winter they can be well kept on what the other stock would not consume, with the addition of a little grain. j Probably the most profitable are some of the coarser-wooled, mutton breeds. Their lambs sell to the butchers for high prices, and when fat the sheep fetch as ‘much asa yearling steer. Sixteen mutton sheep, well managed, would produce an annual income of one hundred dollars, where if none were kept nothing would be realized. - o ; The greatest drawback is liability to loss by dogs; and it is a disgrace to any State tc protect Its curs so well that they expel, to a certain extent, the only animal which can cheapen the meat and clothing of the people. , :

. Poor Farmers. A poor farmer cannot conceal the fact thac he is a poor farmer. All his surroundings proclaim the verdict against him. His horses, cattle, wagons, harness, plows, fences, fields—even his wife and children bear silent but unmistakable evidence against him. On the other hand, all these things will bear favorable testimony in hehalf of a good farmer. Every passer by can read this evidence pro or con. This fact alone ought to stimulate every farmer to do his very best, for the sake of his own character as well as interest; for he may rest assured that every passer-by will pronounce judgment according to the evidence. e ey

. Mpr.Greeley in the Street. : The masses of the people in New York, of all classes, men and women, young and-old, boys and girls, everybody, recogniize him as he trundles along about his business, never loitering, but going ahead in regular Yankee style, as 1f he knew what he was about, and was intent upon accomplishing It. These throngs on our thoroughfares turn as he passes, and stand gazing at the philosopher and coming President with mute and silent satis: faction till he is hidden among the crowd or turns & corner, I have scen a great many public men walk along the streets of cities, but I never before saw such a curious sight as that presented when Mr. Greeley goes about New York. As I said, the whole mass of pedestriaps stop and turn, and contemplate the form 2nd face of the Sage of Chappaqua as he passes along. So the spectacle is presented of a thronged sidewalk becoming a kind of whirlpool of humanity, a multiplied series of eddies turning, turning, tarning, as far-as the eye can see, and as far as Mr. Greeley goes. Thousands of men touch tl#é hat and bow; thousands of women recognize him by a graceful courtesy.— A New York Letter.

§ Punishing a ;Wlfe-Benter. Lawson Groves .is a resident of Henryville, Clark county, and believes in the barbaric right of beating his wife. He has a nephew named Lewis, who had warned “Uncle Lawson” that if he again beat his wife he'd “get put through for it.” The uncle failed to heed the warning of “his courageous nephew, and ‘one morning whipped his ‘wife in good old'English style. About tour o’ciock that-afternoon Lewis came along, and, bearing what had been done, he kept his word by taking Groves out inthe old mill and giving him one of the handsomest wallopings with a shaved hoop that any wife-beater has received for many, a day. He hooped him up most handsomely. -Hickory is a very good preventative for wife beating, and it is not likely Groves will commit the same trick again.—New Albany Ledger. :

Singular Death of a Child. ‘ A correspondent of the Leavenworth Democrat writes that paper the particulars of a singular and fatal aceident that oc - curred at Doolittle’s mill, Perry county, on Tuesday, July 16:, “A child of Joseph Underhill, about eighteen months old, died trom biting its own tongue. It appears that the ctild, while attempting to climb over the door step into the house, fell with its cliin against the step, and Its teeth penetrated .through the tongue. This was about supper time, and as the child ate a hearty supper the parents thought nothing wrong. About day break next morning the child commenced haying spasms, and although the best medical aid whas called in, it died from loss of blood, about nine o’clock.”—New Albany Ledger. e Le < AR i Wilson at Bull Run. When Colonel Henry Wilson, now republican candidate for Vice President, wag in Boston raising a regiment, a littlé fellow oune day presented himself at head quarters and asked fora commission. “Have you seen service?” asked the Colonel. : ' . : - #Yes,Colonel, I was in the three months’ service.” : “Were you at the battle of Rull Run ?” “I wasg, Colonel.” Colonel Wilson has a delicate vein of humor in him; so, winking to his staff, he asked : “And did you run well ?” “I used due diligence, Colonel. I did the best I could, but I couldn’t keep up with you in that hack!” ol : e ; . - Is it not about time for “Grant’s Own” to give another review of the political situation in the several counties of the State, showing how small the Greeley defection is among the Republicans? In the first review it found 400 Liberal Republicans in the State; two weeks later it gave another review and found about 4000. Since these two weeks have elapsed a member of the Grant State Committee haschang'd, several republican papers have followed the same sourse, and there have been several public meetings held. It is now a good time to give another review. The people would like to know whether the liberal republican strengti is increasing in the same ratio as the 7%mes admitted it was prior to the Baltimore convention. —New York World. s
