In obedience to 'a resolution of the last

thereby assigned to m a requisition
with which I should comply hh much
pleasure could 1 think myself adequatt
to the taski It is not to be expected ihat
I can address you on an ocenpation,
which most of you hate studied and prac
tised from youth, and of which I have
very little practical knowledge, without
some embartassment. I, how eer, con
sider it to be my duty to lend my 'humble,
exertions towards advancing the object of
our association; and confidine in :vou
indulgence," I will proceed, conscious
nevertheless, that I haieimuch to learn
before I can with propriety assume. the
office of an instructor. -
What I have to say, is to be received
rather av hints and unattested proposi
tions, than as", the result) of experience,
the only sure guide to agricultural know
ledge. 1 1 trust, however, that some- of
the suggestions which I shall offer, w'iji
not be entirely void of utility, or uninter
estin to the practical farmer.
I will not trouble you with an historical
skttch of the progress of agriculture in
different, ages and, nations, or with ah
stract speciilattons on us!

ly and importance, as is
sonxetimes done

I
take leave; how
ever, to remark, that husbandry is sup
posed to be coeval with man himself at
least in a; ciulizcd state, and has been
and must continue to bej in all ages, the
primary'' -source of pubHc as well as of
iiKfividual prosperity I will not attemnt
a dissertation on the varieties of earths.
and soils, or on the various theories til

ed and advocated; f4r thotsKh some
knowledge on these suhects,is indispen
sable to eriHghfehedaud scientific farm
ing, the nature of this' acldress does ; not
allow me to do more, than barely to re
commend them to your attention.
The improvement of
the 'agriculture
of the district beint; ouf
principal object
it may hot be amiss to advert, for a mo-mem,-
to oun. natural resources and 'ad
vantages as planters, ancl farmers. Lo

by either. Our lands are generally level,
not liable to be soaked oi washed by rain.

The attention of the nlanter is first di
rected to clearing and reducing his Jandsi

haMo me appeared injudicious. It ought
alms to be borne in mind, that theot.ly
usual method of performing this work
difference between new land, and that
which is old and worn out, is that the
soil of the former, contains a portion of
vegetable matter that is destroved which.
hh little additional labor, might be ad-.
yant?geousIy worked into and made part
of tlie soil. The mrjdewhifb has occur

to -list! or... plough, In as much of the leaves
and trash, as may he found practicable ;
and to remove; heap op, or burn only so
much of the rubbish as cannot thus be
disposed of. According to this plan; the
product of the fi.st year niieht not be as
great, but I venture to say, that succeed
ing crops will be better thaw on lands' 4f

burning. '
