One or two points whicii ((how tho grudun i developemeni of the country are worthy ovir observation nnd knowL-dge. The grea 8 ate of New York wis formerly the grarjary of this western world. So man cuuM look upon her rich fields, or gazo over her undulating plains— teemiii^: wiijj exuberant fertility, wiihoiil symputhisieg witli the honest pridu v.ith which the country wat regarded by its people. The Sla'e yielded not ouly enough for her own popuiition. but a large export of wheaten flour. Now, however, tiic finest lands would ap{»cor to bx exhausted, and as an English quarter, equal to about nine bushels of\vi)e?t, is required for each individual, and only fifteen million buihel^fare roised, about ten million bu^lieis most be imported every yerir to eunply tho population with wheaten bread. If then, the well tilled i.nd fertile State of New York is dbliged to so lav^'e an e.\>nt to import her wheat, w hy ahovilJ we expect to be at'l*- to supply our own, deficient ai we still are, in tho sAill and appliances of modern agricultural .-ciencs .■■ On ;\ha'. principle can we expect, in our day, thf»t the soil of th« Country, but lately won from the forest, should be able to {iroduce sufiicient bread tor its inhabitants ? What then is It our duly to do !* Shall we abandon the culture of wheat altogether? By no means ! Unite with it tiic cultivation of the hardier grains which rarely if ever fail with OS, and above all, devoto ourselves to the improvement and raising of stock. Recol- IffCt that we possess the inestimable blessing of a temperate climate. Look at the reg>ona sooth of us and but within a few days' shiI, 7;hicb are now desolated and their inhabi- tants swept away by a frightful contajion ! Our noil furnishes all that ia gof)d for lie health and happiness of man. 0;h<*r lands, in warmer latitudes, may be more luxuriant and beautiful ; but give me ours for healthful manly vigour- aye .' and female ioveli ness— where the eye sparkles with soTtened lustre, Hit rmidy hue of tne cheek proclain.a our genial and bracing climate, and winning smdes reword us wtih their capuvatin;j tenderness. (Rapturous jipplavse.) Perhaps 1 ongiit iirt lo have said so much in pre- sence of so many of tne fairest specimens of the beauty I am pra;s!!:g, but, (.adies, it was only a ".Ittle episode to which I was templed by n>y nrii'irai devolitju to l!ie sex, and therefore you must excuse it. (Chtersand ^v^vghttr.) Look around upon these tables and see what .Nova Scotia can do to reward the industry of her sons— h re are proofs of luxurious vegetation, of which any ojiinlry miu'ot justly be proud ; hsre is a field for generous rivalry vt^liich will adranoe the interests and elevate tho charnrler of our common country A^rricullure is no m^.m or vulgar pursuit— it laxe« the highept ftlorts of the inlellectand brings into play all the knowledge which science has revealed to man. Cross the Atlantic, and you will t'ind the farmers of the Mothfr country not infirior in point of intelligence n an) people m the world. There you will find the rsob'cft and rooi^t cultiv.i[ed minds turning !rom th« pursuits of the Lnatesmen-er l.iw— or physc — and devoting tiiemaelvcs t") bus >«indry; and it is a well known fact that all the Amencan Presidetits who hav«» survivpd »he toils and doMgrrsr^fthit «»ininent s;a:ioa and many oftli" other di^'iiiguislicd pui.'i''; i r.

The fact itself may remain, Ps if entombed for ages — within the pa^^s of the work of the most, profound and philosophic mind,' and may reem to be of no service to the human family. But, all at once, as if by some fortiiiloua event, or some B'ransre concatenation of circuin^tanc?3, or some remarkable d'spensitim of Provi- dence, it is broujjj'it forth from its (rrave and turned to the moot prcfiaLle acccuni, in the promotion of the temporal, social, and moral welfare of mankind. The truth of this observation has been am^ly sliown in llie praciinal application of th-j discoveries of chemislry to the pursuits of Agricull.irt .

And this is lli" basis of a close, a very interesiin^r an i a practically usi^lul connexion between Agriculture and (iieoloiry. Suppose, f>r exain)!e, that 1 asu desi- rous to emigrate to a climate ol a parliculor temperature, wi.h the view of devoting my tiiiie, and subotance and enerj^ie^ to any one ciepnrtment of Agriculture, whether it be tor dairy or grazing purposes, or fur the irrowth of grain or of roots, I have only to procure a correct Cleoloeical .Map of the cuuntry, in urdxr to ascertain with conside- rable occuracy the localities best adapted for my sp<>cirtr: object, and all this though I am ihowennds of miles asunder. There are three methods of improving the mechanical texture of 'he soil within reach of the Farmer, vis : 1. The udditicn of substances capable of chan^infj its texture, such as sandy light floil to sti?t' impervious Icam, and rice rer.iii. '2. I'rnner pii.)Uirliiii(r and especially subsoil ploughing. Far more depends upon good careful plougliing l''an people generally seem aware oi. If, for example, one farrow in i rid'j:e i-i Mtiall jwfr than all tiie rest the grain therein deposited, will bo much sooner ripe than the siirroiindin^r, ati't in d uij-er of being Kcilter-d and destroyed altogether, and thus, even in one field, no small loss sustained. ^^. But the moat eirectual way of improving the mechanical texture of the soil ia bv drainage. By means of thr.ron.ri drainage tiie soil is rendered more warm and genial the surfica is preserved from ^eing too much wasted by rain, the roots of plants penetrali! more rea'llly and more deeply into the soil, the air is allowed frr-e circula- tion and the f'ertili/.ing medium obtains full justice.

Now ail Vegetable subs'ances consist, ol n combualible and incombustible p:irt — ih-- former constiluling the organic, aol tl.e latter the inorganic.

These snbstanceT are found in greater or less proportion, in ditiVrenl plants, nnd they are wholly derii^ed from the soil. Here, at once, a bvighl liirht ca-.l? itself on the rniistitution of the soil itself. All fertile soils, as already slated, contain a r.olabia proportion of all these substances ; but the reason did not appear. The reason now breaks in upon us of itself. The plant contains all these things', they form u part, a necessary part of its substance, and as it can get them only frnni tlie fi! it is cltar that the soil must contiiin them, if the pluit is to grow in a liealthy manner Ufton it. Some plants contain more Ijiine and Alagnesia, others mors l''ota- an experiment was made on one of llie leadjpg roots of this t'.e mostmajestic and graceful of all tho trees of the lawn. ,\ pretty deep ditch was made around the exUemities oi liial root, uo that i's coinnetKn with the ■'''-.ilum most congen'iil to its vegetation was completely cut off. The p.xtremi:ir» of ihul root instead of fixing themselves in the adjomir.g s'.rulum, descended to the liottoin of the ditch, cr:.pt along its surface, ascended the opposite side, until it reached the very stratum from which it iiad been dislodged, and tlKre it penetrated and grew. How very remarkable the adaptation of ail the objects of the vegetable kingdom to the • lil on which Ihey grow !

How much stronger at every atpp becnmea the likenosa between the aol, the plant and the animal, how much closer the connexion, iiov.' much more indiaacluble the union that binds them together I And now, I might proceed to show you, at levigtli, the dilTerent parts of the snimal that are Rustained and nourished by different plants or diiferent parts of the same plant; and here again invite your ntt«ntion to the application of chemistry to ogrinul- ture; and furthermore 1 might show you the laws of animal iihysiology,the functions of the various organs of the animal frame ; and the particular food req'iirrd for the unimal according to the purposes fomhich it is destined, whether it be for the nianu facture of beef, or for the dairy, or for any other object. But, I think, I htive already said enough to^show you how extensive is the application of the results of scientific re* nearch titho cultivation of the soil ; how vastly science when rightly applied, is fitted to less>en the labour and anxiety of the practical cultivator, to enlighten his path, and to increase his protit ; and how mnch the general welfare of the country is thereby likely to be promoted. I think too, 1 have said enough to show that tiie avocation of the husbandman is something more than a mere manual or mechanical employment, as it is sometimes imagined, that it calls fo Ih the eserciso of all our intellectual powers, that, in fact it is beginning lo vindicate to itself all the dignity and glory of a science, and that as it wss the first, so is it the noblest of all human pursuits. It is then time that we endeavour to turn the preceding remarks to some practical account. I bolieve that all of you will readily ,admit from the variety an I?
