AGRICULTURE.
With more than a dozen agricul
tural papers within easy reach of
every citizen, it may look like
effrontery for a newspaper not
specially ordained to the work to
express opinions on this subject.
If agriculture, as now considered,
related only to the cultivation of
the: ground, then one onihougbt in
the field might well keep silence.
But agriculture, being at tbe base
of alt material prosperity, could not
be confined to the limits of tbe
plowman, but it has grown wider
and wider until every pro
gressrre State bag its Commis
sioner of Agriculture, and tbe Con
gress f the United States is about
to Stilt further elevate tbe Depart
ment Of Agriculture, and make its
chief a member of (be President's
Gabinet.
All this is progress genuine
progress but it may be well to en
quire bow far the Government is to
go, and what is to be tbe limit of
Its authority ! The Department of
State, the Department of the
Treasury, the Department of War,
and all tbe other Executive De
partments have the fields of their
Operation defined. They but pnt
iateexecation the will of the Fres
llenf, andjin their concurrent
action make what is known as tbe
Administration.
We do not very well see bow the
National Department of Agricul
ture is to be administered, and we
would like to be enlightened, by
some Agricultural Journal, on tbe
abject.
Oar State Commissioner of Agri-
caltnre, so far as we can judge, is
doing a good work. lie gathers
useful information which is dis
seminated through tbe land, and be
gives salutary advice beneficial to
the country. Indeed everything
Connected with tbe Agricultural
Department is well conducted and
U accomplishing much good.
Bat1 we are not sure that our
National Agricultural Department
bat been equal to the purpose of
$reatare. Terhaps krecent and
contemplated legislation will reme
dy tbe evils that exist, and in augu-
rat -a more periect system. We
take from the World the following
la regard to our Governmental
Agriculture :
"The gloom which would other
wise fcsng heavy over tbe com
mnnitv on the disclosure of tbe
nadue preference given to turnips
' ia tbe distribution of Government
64 is happily modified by the
agreement of the Senate and fiouse
conference committee on the bill
creatines' Cabinet Secretary of
Arncutture.
Beprjsentatire Burnett showed
ea Thursday that during the past
rear the' members of the House
bd sent to their constituencies
' 233,f39 packages of turnip seed and
oafT 354 quarts ot wheat. The
'extent to which tbe infusion of
- ttrnip reached tbe brains of voters
aid thus secured the election of a
Republican President can never be
known, though the circumstance
throws much light on the agricol
'. trral Tote. The House will be
asked to cut down this vast pre
poadsrance of turnip seeds and give
tee otners a cuance.
Tbe vfcct is also disclosed that
' eit of.r100.000 appropriated for
the purpose only' 160,000 went for
the 'seeds, "While it cost the other
' 140,000 ;to' put tbem where they

members repreaeatiaf tit j districts
hid soul oat their quota of needs
to rural members for 123 each.
Bis object now is to adopUby legis
lation other meant of diitri button.
"Since the conference committees
have united upon the bill for the
new Department it jrill doubtless
be established, and the combined
wisdom of the Presidential Council
will be brought to bear on the seed
business.' As if to insure a proper
concentration of executire energy
in this particular , the conference
rejected the House amendments
embraesing the Agricultural Minis
ter with the Signal Serrice, Geo
logical Surrey and the fish trade."
Carteret
Waits Pretectloa
From
Breeeny Stock.
Editob Jotjbsal I see a com
munication in your last Weekly
issue Irom J. W. Sanders, appeal
ing to the present Legislature, to
enact some law by which the
farmers may be protected from
breechy stock. We think our leg
islature should do something, for
the relief of such trespass particu
larly along, the tide waters of
Carteret's shores. The doctor did
not make his appeal plain enough
from the fact this breecby stock
consist almost altogether iu the
cattle line, they being taught by
annually driving them across the
adjacent waters from the main
land to the banks to and fro. By
that means tbey become habituated
and have a thirst or will to hunt
fresh pastures, regardless of water
fences or any other obstruction. So
yon see that there ought to be
a very pi am statute making some
disposition ior such trespass. We
have bad some cases in this
neighborhood that could not be
adjudicated otherwise than arbitra
tors. The geographical situation
demands it, society prays for it.
