But when science and art have done their best for the preparation of the soil, they have but commenced their operations in tlie lowest depart- 18 ment of agriculture. They have dealt thus far only with what we call lifeless nature, though I apply that word with reluctance to the genial bosom of our mother Earth, from which everything that germinates draws its life and appropriate nour- ishment. Still, however, we take a great step upward, when, in pursuing the operations of hus- bandry, we asce...nd from mineral and inorganic sub- stances to vegetable organization. We now enter a new world of agricultural research ; the mys- teries of assimilation, growth and decay ; of seed time and harvest ; the life, the death, and the re- production, of the vegetable world. Here we still need the light of science, but rather to explore and reveal than to imitate the operations of nature. The skilful agricultural chemist can mingle soils and compound fertilizing phosphates; but, with all his apparatus and all his re-agents, it is beyond his power to fabricate the humblest leaf.
