The history of England, for the last two
Centuries, is a practical illustration of what
can be accomplished. In 1685, says Ma
cnulay, the area of her arable and pasture
lan Is, did uot amount to mote than half
the kingdom. Those routes which now
run through an endless succession of or
chards, hay fields and bean fields, then ran
through nothing but fen, moor, and warren.
Scarce a hedgerow was to be seen, and
numerous tract flow rich with cultivation,
were as bare as Salisbury Plain. At En
field, hardly out of sight of the smoke of
the Capitol, was a region or five and twen
ty miles in circumference, which contain
ed only three houses and scarcely an en
closed field. In the reign of Charles the
II., the amount of the various grain crops
did not equal one third, and of the wheat
crop not one sixth, of the ptesent amount.
For the want of winter food for cattle,
fresh meat was never eaten even by the
higher classes, in the reign of Henry VII.,
except between Midsummer and Michael
mas. In the course of two centuries some
improvement had been made. Under
j Charles II., between the middle and latter
part of the seventeenth- century, it was not
till the beginning of November, that fjmi
lies laid in their stock of salt provisions,
then called Martinmas beef. The sheep,
the ox. and the horse, were poor, compar-

What a contrast is here exhibited be-

At the reeent annual meeting of the Maryland-Society,
a resolution war passed for
memorializing the Legislature of the Suite
in favor of an appropriation in aid of agri
cultural associations. Mr. John A. King,
President of the New York Society, beinu
present, was called n to state the policy of
New York, which be did as follows :

WARES YURE HOSS?"
A New Orleans correspondei.t of the
'Spirit' furnishes the 'Delta' with the follow
ing amusing story. Its e'en-amost put pur
nose out of joint.
Some years sinoe, when the State of j,
Missouri was considered Far West, there'
lived on the bank of the river of the same -name
of the State a substantial farmer,
who, by years of toil had accumulated a
tolerable pretty pile of castings; owing, as
he 'said, -principally to the fact that he
dithi't raise much laters and inyuns, but
rite smart of corn. This farmer, hear- -in
that eood land was much cheaper further
doulh concluded to move there. According
ly, he provided his oldest son with a good
horse and a sufficiency of the needful to
deftly his traveling and jcontingent expenses
and instructed hiirfiffe purchase two
hundered acres of irood land, at the lowest
par sihlo price , and to return immediately
home. J lie next day Jeems startea tor

weeks returns come.
