Agricultural Aphorisms.


Annihllate the implements Of husbandry
which have been brought into existence IN
the course of a few hundred years, and the
recollection of their uses, and starvation
would be the consequence. So in few
hundred years from this time, the then
inhabitants Of the earth would starye on
the practice Of our present system OF hus-
bandry.


We are all born in sight Of the mountain
Of plenty, and all desirous of climbing TO
its summit; but let me tell you, that yo,
can only do this by holding on to apfough
or hoe handle. If you attempt TO climb up
by any other means, you wilIsurely tumble.
He who never attempts to climb up this
mountain is brute, he who attains half
way, is man, and he who mounts the sum.
init, is hero.


With him who has "learned enough,'
lclaim no kin; nor will keep his COM
pany


Nature works for the agriculturist while
he is sleeping; who else can claim the
benefit?


Equally silly is he who is killing his
land to fill his purse, with him Who killed
his goose to get the golden egg. We learn
not so much by our own experience as by
the experience of others; and it is much
easier 10 procure this by reading than by
travelling.


He who seeks more light the more he
finds, and finds more themore he seeks, is
worthy 10 be called sage.


You never saw vulgar character
disinterestedly sensible of the value Of
time.


Neatness begets ordor.


He who assumes the air Of patronage,
should know, that, unattended by delicacy.
his services are affronts.


Prejudice and conceit are the ofsprlngs
Of ignorance, and the great barriers to agri-
cultural improvement.


A cent expended in money or time, in
the promulgation Of agricultural knowl-
edge, will add many dollars to the public
stock.


Those who exert themselves in the diffu-
sion Of agricultural knowledge, receive the
appreciation of all the real friends Of their
country.


Nothing Injuries agriculture more than
whimsical novelties; except bigoted adhe-
rence TO old and bad habits.


Ifgou treat your land badly, it will re-
turn The compliment.


Nsver plant on foul ground to save
ploughing, or on vet ground to save
time.


The best way TO convert an agricultural
bigot, is to put good examples before him,
and be silent.


If we make large crops at the ex-
pense Of our land, II becomes every year
more evident that our apparant gain is
real loss.


Manure is to farm what daily food is
to an animal; it must be procured at any
sacrifice.


1t is necessary often TO be reminded Of
what we already know.
