Prae. Farmer. Oh! co away with your

book farming about me? I have been a
practical farmer all my life, and in early
times I used to raise the best wheat in the
country, without manure or books either.
Do you think that 1 don't know how to
raise wheat?
Science. Will vou read it! i
Prar. Far. No. It is so seldom I read
that it U quite a task for me to read a

Science. Well, will you listen while 1
read?
Prae. Far. I have not time to stay 1c ng,
but I have no objection to hearing you
lead a little; it won't cost anything, will it?
Science. If you will listen attentively,
I will read you a few lines with plea
sure. From each acre yielding twenty
five bushels of wheat, there is extracted
from the soil, in the grain, 3.3 pounds of
potash, and in Btraw, 0.0 or a pound."
Prae. Far. What! does wheat contain

Science. Ycj. ' And the twenty-five

you did no know before, and which -per
hans vou never would have found out by
your own efforts, without calling in Uie aid
oi science.
' Prae. Far. Well, if the wheat crop con
tains all these substances, and they are all
extracted from the soil, how are we prae
lical farmers to know when Uiey are not all
present in the soil! and above all, how are
we to obtain all this potash, and soda, and
lime, aud flint, and sulphuric acid?
Science. The failure of your wheat crop
for a scries of years is pretty good evidence
that some of these substances are wanting
in the soil, but it will not decide which.
The only way to determine which one of
the foregoing substances may be wanting,
is to call in Uie aid of science, and have a
correct analysis of the soil made. But,
nevertheless, by the nature of the disease
that effects the crops, we may be able to
judge more correcUy of the substance that
mav be wanting. When the straw is weak,
and not able to stand erect, it may be certain
that the alkalies are wanting to produce
their silicates which are deposited in Uie
stem,' to give it strength and firmness.
This book, however, will tell what snbstan
cess you must procure and apply to the
land, which will 6uppiy me ingreuieuw
contained in the wheat plant.
Prae. Far. I should like to hear some-
thihff more about these matters.
Science. This bookcivcs an account of
the component ingredients of wood ashes.
It says lhat " ashes always consist of a mix
ture in variable proportions oi caroonaics,
silicates, sulphates, and phosphates of pot
ash, soda, lime, and magnesia, with certain
oilier substances present in smaller quanti
ty, yet more or less necessary, it may bo
nresmned to vegetable crowth." " But they
contain a greater or less quantity of imper
lectiy burned caroonaceou , in .
charcoal. Here you will perceive that
you have' nearly all the substances, at
once, of which, the wheat plant consists.
It would seem,' then, that if ashes be mix
cf with thd soil ft will supply the greaipr
par. of lha substance of wheat... Did you
over think' of this before? - - , ,

in a high moral tone and sentiment, which,
like a bright halo, seemed to incirele the

A Fint Harbor DhcoverU cn lkt
Georgia Coai. A letter from Captain
Fatio, of tho meane cutter Crawford,
to Uie editor of the Savannah Republi
can, Hates that he had discovered a bar
bor within thirteen miles of Savannah,
having great advantages for a b'ouihern
naval depot. lis location is la Ussabaw
Sound, near Montgomery, "Hie depth
of water ever the Ur at low tide, is twen
ty one feet; and fi r a distance of fire
miles above tba bar, along the harbor,
the wstrr is, from four to six and seven
fathoms. From thit point, ten miles,
to Mtihtgnmery. there are not lets than
two and a half fatbomt water at any
point. ; J he lower harbor, according to
Captain Fatio, is protected on all sides
from wind and norm, md tba country
around abounda with lite oak, cedar and
pine enough, with common care and re
cultivation, to bui'd navies for our coun
try for centuries. Monigomery.ssys Cap
tain r. is the point where the French Ad
mtral chose in th Revolution to land Jus
troops under cover of his frigates, and
tuggetts thit, in anather war, our ene
mies might land there, unless the Gov
eminent adopts some measures for its tic
fence. Captain F. urges that it be sc
b eted as the site of the naval depot for the
South; and, if his statement does not ex
aggerate its advanlsget, the port is moat
admirably suited for such an establish
ment. . . ; ! -.v ' ..-
ty lie, ss l ean comes in by a joint re
solution of Centres, by similar oiesnt
csn the te put out? ; lit our view, sll the
breath expended on such a cry would be
spent in vain. Very many who ardently
Oppoied annexation while it was lucom
pit te. will now acquiesce, deeming the
consummation of that measure lets inju
rious than would bs the effoil to thrust
Texas out; and, betide, wt are estopped
from sny such effort. A cardinal princi
ple of ihe IV h'gs is the inviolability cf
contract. Tixas comes in, if at all, by
siitueof a contract between her and the
United States, and tuch contract, when
formally ratified, cannot be reieinded by
one or iha other patty at will. It maybe
true th-t Congress transcended its powers
delegated by the people, when it author
ized annexation, but that must be deier
mined, if st all, bv the Supreme Cour.
In ihe mean time Texas must bs consid
ered an integral part of iha United States,
and treated a tuch. ' If the bargain is a
haid one, wa must make the best of it we
can. ; But that does not preclude us from
exposing ihe motives by which the . act
was consummated, nor ftom holding the
actors to a strict accountability.
