" j It is intcresiting to study and trace the progress of the Grecians and their advancement in agriculture; the produc tion of wheat, barley, spelt, and mil let; then rye'and oats, with Uiati' new varieties; next, fruit and wiue ; still later, the beautiful dcsciiptions of. gar dens from Grecian and Roman history bring forth the treasures of horticul ture. ' The Greeks excelled ia sweetmeats and fruits in that remote age of agricul ture. 1 aintinr, sculpture, music, aud to the gayety at Eleusis in honor of agriculture. The beautiful vases, urns, &c, which ad.Jrn me ii'useumj 01 Jimrope, snow a superiori ty of art and refinement. . Although minute perhaps to us in our advanced age, it brings forth improvement and steady, progress to perfection in civiliza tion. . Itlay then came forward under the progress of agriculture from the Greeks. Horticulture advanced by the frequent intercourse with Asia and Africa until the inva.ion of barbarism, when the an cestors became wamlering shepherds and civilization and agriculture disappeared, wrecking the whole Roman empire for two hundred years. The culture of cere als was resumed and even enforced again, and the barbarians were brought under the rule of Christianity, spreading and progressing through Germany, Spain and F ranee, uutil the time of the discovery of America. As Europe is indebted to Asia and Africa, so is America to Earope for many of its original productions, so va rious that my pen cannot - do them jus tice. Maize or Indian corn is the mot im portant farinaceous plaut peculiar to our soil. We ate left in darkness :;s to where our Creator first deposited the val uable grain. Whether Asia cn boast of its original production, or Africa had corn fields in Joseph's sovereign authori ty, there is no ptsiiive record. Europe ans found it under cultivation in North and South America at the time of dis covery, but as Giecian or Roman history do not include maize in thei" minute des criptions, we conclude that it is our plant exclusively. Miilot. and cocoa ae indigenous ; so are the .fhieo ' grains, wheat, barley and oats. ' - ' Our native trees are mostlyTif tTiE nnt bearing kind chestnut, black walnut, history, and oak included. Blackberries, raspberries, strawberries and whortleber ries are probably, and must be admitted, our native production, and we sec them growing and bringing foith fruit in their wild state in abundance. Apples, pears, peaches, oranges and lemons are supposed to be foreign fruits. 1 ; . Many delicious an ! fine fruits are from tropical plants, more exclusively lavished 01 South America. North America c.u Lot compare with Europe with its origiu alitynjf fruit. P Potatoes are j;i?t a3 difficult to Jtrace as maize. It is supposed that thcjaqiii na, which grows wild on the southern coast of Chili, is our original plant. Its foliage and blossoms ate found to be sim ilar ; the tuber, though tasteless and watery, is said to have jts nutritive "qual ities. The sweet potatoe and artichoke are ot the' same family, and a-e classed among plants that are useful and indispen sable to our tables. ' ' - . Hens A hen, if she is allowed her liberty, will eat one bushel of corn a year. Good corn and clean water are the best feed, with scraps of meat, etc-, in the winter. We have a hen that paid more than $16 profit last year; she raised two broods of chi.ikens (20)-; I was offered one dollar each for them in December. Any he4," if allowed to" bring up a brood of chickens, will pay a profit of front $3 to $10 a year.- Ex. Canada Thistles. The Illinois Legislature has passed a law providing that any person bringing iuto the State seed of the Canada thistle, in the pack ing of goods, grain, or grass seeds, or otherwise, aud permitting the same to be disseminated and vegeta'e, shalkbe liable to a fine of 400 ; and any person allow ing ihif thistle to mature and dissemiuate its seed upon his lands shall ' be subject to a peualty of 75. Seeds, especially of the stone-fruits, must not be allowed to get too dry. ' They arc best preserved in sand. or sandy earth, jt?8t perceptibly moist, which should be mixed in sufficient quantity to; preclude drying or heating. A box in a cool and dry cellar or shtd will answer as well as to follow the European plan of burying or stratifying. ? ; Large Dai ttY-T-One of the largest dairy-inen of Vermont is Edward Clark.
