Science, the investigations and inven- tlo-.sof seicnlitle men, have lieen of in calculable benefit to the farmer, and have elevated agriculture into one of the most wonderfully attractive voca tions of mankind, ns it certainly ia the most useful and important one,-—J— Compare agriculture of fifty years ago agriculture to-day, and coji- fiie the asTonfshlng contrast lu , its labor-saving apj)!! - ojf soils, in drainage, in the improvement of crops, in all tilings that, practically testify to the progress .and development of the human race, and iVe must acknowledge that this wonderful contrast' between the present and the past, especially of the past half century, is due to science applied to agriculture.
