''Science is gradually friakins; its Way

''go and do likewise,'' will state '.very
briefly what a practical chemist Ia now
doing , in tins vicinity in oxperitnentai
farming, Professor Ma pea, for many
years a resident in this city, and well
known as a good chemist and scientific
matt, concluded last fall to turn his at
tention to agriculture. For this purpose
he purchased a small farm of about
forty acres in ; JCew Jer$y, between
twoand three miles south-west of New
ark.' He isJiow in the midst of his
first season, aud yesterday I went onUo

members'.' of the American Institute, to
see what sort or a start he had made in
his new pursuit. The result w.tihigh-
