I trust that I shall he heard with in dulgence, whilst 1 direct your attention for a few moments to some general re marks on industry, and economy, accom panied with snrac observations on prac tical huhbanclry. '.j Industry and economy combined, form the true philosopher's, stone which. turns all into gold. Without these essential qualifications, no one can boa respecta ble, or an useful member of society. They are, therefore, anions; those prin ciples Mrhich should be instilled into the child from its earliest ' infancy. -They most generally exist together, and are both so indispensably necessary to suc cess in any pursuit of life, that where one is w anting the other, for all practical pur poses', may as well be absent. For wirt, Ciht iiulustry, economy will he' of no avail. And without economy, the fruits of iii dustry, are- soon wasted. Man beingl formed for action and duties always de-J voliog upon him, industry and economy cannot be dispensed with, in any situation in which he can be placed .'V It is the w ant of these, that prevents the success of so many in the various mechanical branches, as well as iii the learned pro-, fessions and it is the primary cause, which calls Urthe aid of the insolvent law to cloje up the .concerns of so many hi ine, iiicrcaniiie worio. j ; -The indolent 'person, soon loses the confidence, and ot course, the patron of his employers, and poverty and dis grace are the final and inevitable result But in no one, are5 the unhappy,, cfivc is which result from the want of these, nor apparent than in the cultivator of the soil. The indolent! farmer exhibits' his own disgrace to every passing trat clJer j and biings forcibly. the mind J even of a Stranger, th tvhrr! nf thi m l nttit by the fieidj of the slothful, and by under- tite-vineyard of the man void of iaiding, and lo w ho thorns, and It via all grown ocr bettles had coirercd the face thereof, arid the stone Wall thereof as broken down.

How ofieh do we. see a farm sus i eptible ,of a bih state of colrivatioo, au?d which might' with aby ithing; of indutry and economy, be a, source of wealth to its possessor hcjw often do we see: it Urown merith; bushesj briars, thistles, and every hurtfnLweed the fields badly arranged, the fences out of repair, the land half tilled, the barn-doors broken from their hingesVand) the windows of me iiousu uhcu wnn nais, presenting any idea but that of comfort.

Himself must either hold or tlrive.' On a nearer, examination, we find, his fields well arranged and productive,' his crops clean, and jof the best 'quality, and secured in season under cover, instead of being exposed to the weather in stacks, as is jtoo frequenily, the-case, to the great loss of the farmer, both in the crop itself, and in the manure of which it might be productive we find his cattle wejl fed in good condition and often better shel tered than ht family of the slothful. Enter his dwelling, it is the habitation of plenty the store house of the diiiy and the loom and his fire-Vide, that calm and domestic one, where the farmer in lue ooaom oi nis lamuy, nnos not only rest fmm his toil, but the richest reward of iris labor. - ' I . , . ' Since we are assembled for tSe; pur pose of mutually receiv ing and c om m u -Seating instruction, and stimulaiihg each other in that pursuit, which was the first, and is still the, most j honorable employ ment of man; it will be expected that something will be said more particularly on the cultivation of the soiL ' Agricul- re embraces in its widest sense too ma ny subjects to adhiit of a description in detail, within the limits of a single dis course. N Division and fencing .'of a farm, the proper mode of tillage draining and watering of landr-the rotation of crops kitchen gardening, that important, tho much neglected subject the planting and lultiating of fruitNtrees difJerenl kinds of manures and theirpplication-?- t he raising and fatting cattle- the form and construction cf farming utensils the most Di oper node of building, bolas it respects the form and materials and the j ai He rent kinds ot comesuc roanutactures, would futnkh matter for an useful dis course ; but without descending to any particular discussion on any one of these subjects, suffice it to say, that a k now j edgcrof them all will be sought by the practical 'farmer. But permit : roe fin compliance with the request of several gentlemen, briefly to subjoin a statement m what I have found to pe the most suc cessful and profitable mode of cultivating the . far in ( which 1 have taken under my immediate rate, atd upon which I have tiled a number of experiments. . ' . The. soil of this land is a brown loam, lying on a stratum of lime and sand stone, at ti.e depth of from three to six f-u, projecting out. "of the ground ocrasMaliy tn tnc brink of ijrdgcs.
