Is it be cause they are conducted by gentlemen of less ability or of less moral 'orth, or is it bee use the farmers of the South are too poor to support the preis ? Not one of those objections can he urged itt truth, and yet many useful paupers devoted to Agri culture have been dicontinued in the Situth for waint of patroage. Such a state (of things is any thing else but creditable to osar coutitry. and we trust the blot wil -hortly tie expunged. Ita a lormer com munication we gave it its our opition that the farmer should be a reading man, and the nire minutely we examnine this point the more thoroughly are we convinced of its correctness. The farter shouad not only read Agricultural, bm political pa pers; for surely no one is tuore itterested in the perpetuniy of our free institutions than he it. We do not think, however, that he should permit his mind to be-come so absorbed in politic-s as to cause himt to abandon, or even neclect. his daily avoca- I (ions. While it is true that a very large nutnber of farmers support the press with tiberal ha; scan. They might with as mouch proprie. ty say that they had no lime to eat or sleep. for there is no one who does not have hours of leisure that tight the piofitably employed in thc Cacluisition ofuseful know ledge. Otae is ready, however, to eAcusc hiniself on the ground of not havinag re eeived a liberal education i . his youth ; but this we consider n por apology for re maining in ignorance, when it is coinmplete ly in the power of almost every one to im prove their mitds to somne extent ; and this becomes the imperative duty of all, from the f'act that both moral and intellec tual culture are conducive to earthly pros - p-rity aud hapitess.-llan. a-s a reflect- i ing and ratiomnal heitng. ought to ex-rcaie i his mind as well ats. his feet ndil hands. i We have long been of opinion that Agri- I culture should be taught in our Schouls, theoretically if not practically.

I see that Mr. Down ing, of Newburg. takes a similar view of' the matter, and recommends clay. The fict to which I allude is this. A few years since, while a t the house of a very in tellirent traner. of Lincoln county in this state, I was forcibly struck with the lively and clean appearanuc of his pini trees, which were then loaded with: fruit. On iiuiring of hi mode of treatment, he re marked that the only secret in the case wat, to set them out by the road side, (as his were) or along some path. where the ground would be trodden down as hard as pimsible. It would appear therefore, that the ra tionale of the thing is not to be sought in the shell mtari or in the clay, but it having such a hard pan of earth around and under the trees. that the insects which infest licil: .ananwu get a lodging place in the This subject remind- me of numerous receipts. against various insects which are ao troublesome ito agricultural and domes it' economy. that are found ill a French work entitled - Secrets concernant les Artset Metiors,' published in 1790, in four violumes. in readinz it over lately, it oc -urred to me, that possibly some of the iccre7 fur destroying insects might be val juble; and if so, that I would bie doing ,oamd service to furnish them for your pa. -er.

At Grenoble, in the vicinity of the French capital, it was considered advisa ile some years ago to endeavor to procure .ood water by means of an Artesian well.

Onl the 31st of December, 1836, the bort haid been maeried. after immense labor, to the depth Af 383 metrc.(a metre is3feet and 2.l-hs English.) Tihe soil was a clay. very hard and compact. In the month ofiune. 1839 he bore had reached the depth of 466 me res, and the soil was still a bed of clay, hougl a variety of strata had been previ maly passed. M.
