Nearly five-eighths of the words in tbe English 

 language are of Anglo-Saxon origin ; the bulk of 

 the remainder is derived from tbe Latin and 

 Greek, while nearly every written language of 

 the world has its representatives in our mother 

 tongue. 



Words expressing primary ideas, simple and 

 natural objects, are genuine Anglo-Saxon, us

 Creek und Latin clement was gradually iufused 

 into tbe language by the need of law terms, tbe

It is proposed to trace the ougin and changes 

 of tbo signification of words that ore of interest 

 to tbe readers of tbe Ri km 



AgrieuUurt Lb primarily from two Gret i. words 



but incorporated into English through the Latin 

 -which still retain their original signilieulion, 

 ril [., '■ tu -Id" and " tilling." O-louij is from tbe 

 some root as "culture," and tbe original word it 

 often used by Viec.il in tbe sense of " inhabiting' 

 or"founding" aStatc. Culture has a higher sig 

 inficution when applied to the mind. By an ap- 

 propriate figure, we carry up tbe idea of tilling 

 the soil to tbe mind, and moke it the field whereon 

 to plow, sow and reap. From "ager" comes 

 aor», which, in all languages except English, 

 means any open plowed field. Hence the beauti- 

 ful conception of the Germans of calling Hit 

 burial place "God's acre" Its use was first pre- 

 scribed to a definite portion of land in tbe time ol 

 Edward III. Tbe terms "Agriculturist" and 

 Farmer" are nearly synonymous in the Uuited 

 tates. In Eugland the agriculturist 

 lerely advances theories of farming, and the 

 inner is he who actually holds tbe plow. Farrr

 ions," "produce." Rent being paid in the pro 

 duclions of the soil, the word was gradually trans 

 fcrred from these to tbe soil itself. 



All the ordinary and most common farming 

 utensils ore Saxon words, as "plow," "rake, 1 

 "spade," "hoc," "drag," "harrow," "crodle,' 

 "scythe," Ac. Tbe elementary idea in the word 

 plow is to "plug," "thrust," showing tbe sim 

 plicity of the origin of tbe word, and the conneC' 

 tioo of the meaning with its use. Arahk, and th<

 So says philosophy, and such a definition we ro-

 that we have added greatly to our store of knowl- 

 edge. But, in reality, we know as little what air

 his boat so trustingly on the waters, commits him-

But, aflcr all, it is useless to quarrel with this 

 explanation, so long as there is no better one. 

 Besides, it is an acknowldged principle in science

 the breast of a bird, but let it arise in its might 

 and march through tbe earth, and nothing can 

 resist it. Huge rocks are but as pebbles before

 while the cotaract lowers its voice to listen to its 

 dreadful roar. Reader, you have often listened to 

 the sigbiug of the night wind, and tbe answering

 thftl much that is said of Cfolula and of its pyra-

 grass and bushes, t 



Mr. W. says ; 



" The striking resemblance of this to the mounds 

 through the country of our northern tribes, satis- 

 fied us of their common origin, and that this, like 

 the others, was but an Indian burying- pi ace, form- 

 ed by the deposition of earth upon the top of a 

 sharp, conical hill, as often as fresh bodies were 

 interred, and this is probably the luct. Its greater 

 size is doubtless attributable to its situation in the 

 midst of a most fertile plain, [vtga] where from 

 generation to generation a dense population must 

 have dwelt, who used this ns the common recepta- 

 cle of their dead. Tbe appearance of that struc-

PLOWING 



Messrs. Emvoas:— I noticed in tbe Rcral of 

 ine 11th, an article addressed to Plow Boys, by 

 H. K. F., and a siuiiUr one in your issue or June 

 :;,th by A. C. G., and as I wn ne of the Bors, I 

 think I should be entitled to a small space in the 

 diirans of the Rural. 



There are many valuable suggestions in both arti- 

 cles, but in one or two points I would bee; leave to 

 differ with them. H. K. F. says you should have a 

 steady, well-trained team," which, of course, is 

 preferable, but not always obtainable. He also 

 says " the lines should pass around the neck." In 

 I think he is mistaken, as a person cannot Con- 

 or guide a team as well with the lines in that 

 pnsition, na he could with them around his body. — 

 0, H. K. F., I would suggest that you hold tbe 

 firmly in your teeth, as you could guide your 

 about as well, and in cose tbey were not 

 1- trained," but were inclined to run away, 

 :ould let go, and not be in danger of getting 

 your neck twisted. 



In marking out lands, A. C. 0. says: — "Set a 



stake at one end, and make a mark with your heel 



tbe other end ; set the plow in tbo mark, place 



b lines around yum waist, look between the heads 



of your horses and get something between you and 



the stake, in range with it, as a small stone or 



weed, start your team, turning the body to tbe 



or left to guide them, and be sure to hit 



ertry object of range bttuttf] ;,<•"■ and .'A. ttht*." 



In all Ibis I agree with him exactly, except the 



, whicb, instead of "a smnll stone or weed," 



ten biru and tbe stake, should be a troo, a 



building, or something else far beyond the stoke, 



the farther tbe better, as a little variation on the 



part of the plowman will be more plainly seen 



than if tbe object was nearer the stake. Wheu 



e in this way you need not fear tbo consc- 



nces. as the furrow will be hi might if you keep 



r range, which is easily done, especially if you 



e a " well-trained team." In cases where you 



marking towards a thick woods, or anything 



! would obstruct the view beyond, you would 



e to follow A. C. G.'s plan, but it is uot as 



urate, and would seldom be necessary. 



A FEW WORDS ABOUT DOGS. 



Massifs. Eos :-In the Bubaz, for May Stb, lS, r ,7, 

 there is an article entitled " Dogs, a Dissertation," 

 wbich is worthy of a place in every newspaper in 

 the world. The writers opinion of tbem exactly 

 coincides with miuc, and I, too, wish that there 

 was not one in existence. They nre, as be says, 

 "a serious and increasing evil." Besides the 

 many losses from sheep-killing dog) 

 many other evils which tbey are the cause of. It 

 is dogs, </'•;/*, DOfis, everywhere, in city and country 

 — nowhero can we flee away from them. Travel 

 wherever we will, we are almost sure to be saluted 

 with the "how-wow-wow," of one or two dogs 

 about every house we pass, and nre often iu danger 

 of being bitten by these yelping curs. A person

at night aflcr their long labor, and wish to rest 

 and allow people to sleep, but not even this can be 

 said in tbeir favor, for when night comes some 

 one of the miserable pests will imagine he sees or 

 hears something wrong, and will— after be is sure 

 that be is iu a safe place — at once start bis music, 

 and, other dogs hearing him, also commence, and 

 in a short time there is a whole band of dog-mu- 

 sicians playing. 



There is, doubtless, occasionally a dog that is of 

 some benefit to his master, btittlicrcisafar greater 

 number that are of no benefit to anyone. I do not 

 write this to encourage the illtrcatment of dogs— 

 I like to see those who ltttp dogs treat tbem with 

 kindness, but I believe it would be better if there 

 was not one in existence. Perhaps some will 

 think that this is of little importance to farmers, 

 and altogether out of place in the Youxo RtruAi.- 

 ist Department, but it is of as much importance 

 to them as to others. At all events, I believe the 

 subject is ef sufficient value to have the opinions 

 of others — for myself, I am willing to do my port 

 towards waging a war of extermination against 

 the entire canine race. W. H. H. Pearsom. 



Worms ik Bee-Hives.— Will some of your sub- 

 scribers inform me, through the columns ol the 

 Kin w., the liL'st way of destroying worms in bee- 

 hives, and oblige a young reader of your valuable 

 paper.— J. K., L\ Boy, ■''■■ 



Rbmabks.— The best way we know of is to take 

 the comb from the hive, and then their track can 

 be discovered, and they can be dug out with a 

 pointed knife. How this "ing is to be managed, 

 wc may describe hereafter, when we obtain tbo

 bought a sheep. Tbe sheep brought him a lamb,

 had six, with a fair prospect. He worked where 

 he found opportunity, for bay, corn, and oats, and
