Agriculture, whoso birth and
growth in tho countrios of its
nativity, by slow and uncertain,
gradukal and tedious steps, achieved
the destruction of barbarisin and
nolrisied the devolopemIllent of civil
izatioll, hLre moved with tho vigor.,
onls strido of couqluest, accomplish,
ing more by conquest in decades
than by growth and development ii4
centuries. What you would have
to traverse ages to finld in England,
for istance, you (n see with your
own eyes in this country by travers
ing HsICL. Th10 traveler, starting
from our frontier, tho border lino
between barbaiin and civilizatioi,
and ilovilg oil anlty line of latitude
to the Atlantic coast, can traco all of
the stages of agriculture, from that
of "hfrds and flocks" to that of
fields worn and cxhausted by tillage.
TVo trace thent ii. the imother coun
try. it would be liccessary to mako
fi passagve of cent aries, at least
-wo tih time of the Roman con
quest, whenl the principal f >od of
the natives was milk id beef, to
li le mre10r th-an1 Ia Centitury Igo.
There, where agriculture was born
and absorbed babaarisnm by growth
iid developament. its lt:ige; aro
marked by periods of ages. Hlere.
where it spread by conquest, its
stages are marked by territory.
Our country preswits, as it were, a
grand panloramiic . view of the
ProgreTs of apges ill Englatnd. But
in all cases, whether the advance is
cirected by al.s )rption or conquest.
anld measu1811red by 1ges Qr by territo
ry, we find "herds and flocks" ever
on the frontier, on the border lino
between balrb-hari sml and civilizalion,
and Canl justly clim for themici that
positioll inl agriculu 11r whichagr
culture itself occupies in civilization
-that of thu piower force.
-fords amd flocks are, therefore,
tle pioneers of civilizAtionl itself,
.lether moving with tie strido of
kconqust on its ."grai adarch west -
ward," or slo\wIy progrcssing in
developlnll t froil it% very birth.
Indeed, it liay be claiied that
civilization was born in the crude
home of le ilhordsmaln's blut and
nursed ill its infancy by "hords and
flocks."
Thus, in IlI ('ountriCS, the last
stage of agriciltuire as yet con -
sidered, which wo Will call tho stage
of "exhaustion," has b.en reached
I'my 'ubstantially the sluro procoss.
'fiieir natural agrmicultural renourcs
were relied ulponl, and dlrawnI upon,1
not oniy for tihe lmintenanlco of all
of their interestu anud institutionm,
of conunollrcC and1 mnufactuires, of
science andl art and genieral educa,
tion, of government, but. to a great
extent, for the means to build these
grand structures, these impregnable
fortresses of civilization.
Indeed, it seems that tilt necessi
ties of this contest w1ithl barbar'ismn
-have (over required, and will over,
reqir, hesacrifice of tile nalturalu
roucsof land ; and( hlenco it is,<
that the complete success and firm
establisiunent of civilization is<
always attended withl this "stage of I
exhaiustioni," and thus it is, that i
aivilization is compileilled, at almosnQt
time threshold of hecr und1(isputed3
reign, to nmeet tile all hniportan'tt
qulestion of the restorationi of an I
en feeblo.d agriculture.
All of iher resources, material anid
moratl, (in tile normal course anid1
pro~gress8 of aigricuilture,) .aroe
