These  experiments,  it  is  true,  are  not  east;  still  they  are  in  the  power  of  every 
THINKING  HUSBANDMAN.  HE  WHO  ACCOMPLISHES  BUT  ONE,  OF  HOWEVER  LIMITED  APPLICATION,  AND 
TAKES  CARE  TO  REPORT  IT  FAITHFULLY,  ADVANCES  THE  SCIENCE,  AND,  CONSEQUENTLY,  THE  PRACTICE 
OF  AGRICULTURE,  AND  ACQUIRES  THEREBY  A RIGHT  TO  THE  GRATITUDE  OF  HIS  FELLOWS,  AND  OF  THOSE 
WHO  COME  AFTER.  TO  MAKE  MANY  SUCH  IS  BEYOND  THE  POWER  OF  MOST  INDIVIDUALS,  AND  CANNOT 
BE  EXPECTED.  THE  FIRST  CARE  OF  ALL  SOCIETIES  FORMED  FOR  THE  IMPROVEMENT  OF  OUR  SCIENCE 
SHOULD  BE  TO  PREPARE  THE  FORMS  OF  SUCII  EXPERIMENTS,  AND  TO  DISTRIBUTE  THE  EXECUTION  OP 
T1IESB  AMONG  THEIR  MEMBERS.
