From the Grttnville Mountaineer. the Farm er. Why ia it that Agricultural papera do not pro per generally in the Southern aa diey do in the northern States' I tt hecaoie met are conducted by gentlemen of leaa ability or of let moral worth or is it becauae the fdtmcr of ihe South are too poor to ettpport the presa ? Not one of thoee oltject Can be unred in tmthi arid yet many useful papers devoted tn agriculture have been tliacoritiriued I I he" BoUth fol want of patronage. Such state oflhine-s ia atlv thins; rise but credit able to our country, and We tfilst the blot will shortly be" etpuriecd. In aV ftirmer com munication we rave it as our opinion that the farmer should be a reading: mam and the rhnfe minutely We eiamine tnls point the more thoroughly are we convinced of its cor rectness. J he larnier houlil not only read Agricultural, but political pa i vert; for surely no one is more interested in the perpetuity of nnr free mstttutions than he is. VVe no not think, however, that he should permit his mind to b- come so absorbej in politics ss to cause him 10 abandon, or even neglect, his daily avocation. While it is true that a ve ry large nomber of farmers sepport the presa ith liberal hands and cheerful hearts, it is equally true that many of them never contri bute .a cent to this demrible object. We are personally acq a tinted with farmers worth from 23 i 30 thousand dollars, eleai of debt, who nfcver read a newspaper of any kind, unless it is a borrowed one. Ask such per sons why they do not snhacribe to a newsoa- per, 01 purchase good books, and they will tell you that they have no lime to read ruey miem wnn as mucn propriety sav that they had no time to ent or sleep, for there is no one Who does not have hours o leisure mat migntDe prnntaoiy employed in the adauisition of useful knowledge. --One is ready, hottevef, 10 eite use himself on the ground of not having reeitra i liberal edu cation in his youth; but this we consider a ooor apology for fcttiaintng in ignorance. when it Is completely in the powef of almost every one to improve their minds to some extent; and this becomes the imperative du ly or all, lYom the uct that both moral and intellectual Culture are conducive to earthly prosperity anil happiness. Man, as a re flecting- and rational being, ou&ht to exer cise his mind as well as his feet and hand' We have long been of opinion That Agricul lur should he taught in our Schools, theor etically if not practically. When the K'ntf ofHpafta was asked "What things he thought most proper for hoys to learn I answered "those things which they expect to do when they sre men. Sparta had a wise King. snd Weil had he studied the educstion of her Vouth. Tht whole range of education he embraced In one sentence. The ad vice was full of Wisdom snd good com mnn sende. But the young farmer in America, hss not taken that advice. While receiving his education, he ha learned noth ing of his profensi-n ! No ! Where is there school that teaches AeTicultnre T If ant. they are like Angel a visit-, "lew and lar . J ... ..... m J hetween." What profession so dnVutl as thai whi h work with breathing, changing nature How well should the farmer un derstand every plant, anil shrub, and grass, snd grain and flower, that blooms or ripens ih his field f "Nature is struggling with all her energies lo feed and . blesj the human facCi ami to aid her is the work of farmer. But he will be a poor help if he does not understand her mode of operation.". We trust that the prejudice against book learning with some farmers Wil! shortly he discarded, and our whole rural population will rise ra pidly to heller method and a mors comfor table s'ato of life, while a proper' study of their own profession would greatly improve their facilities, snd make them more and m3fejrpahte of jAjjtTinhvege. It is not becsuse the farmer has to labor physically that he is less respected and less Influential in many instances than outer' classes, but it is because he to often less intelligent, and consequently not so useful. Then let the rudiments of Agriculture he taught in onr Schools ; let those who desire to elevate the the mental condition of fanners generally, unite their efforts now $ let It ho longer be said that the Schools of ouf country do not teach the elements of Agriculture, which is the noblest employment of man. .
