These experiments, it is ikl'e, are kox east ; still ihet are in the powek of evert 
thinking husbandman. he who accomplishes but one, of however limited application, and 
takes care to report it faithi'ully, advances the science, and, consequentlt, the practice 
of agriculture, and acquires thereblf a right to the gratitude op his fellows, and op those 
who come after. to make many such is beyond the power of most indiv iduals, and cannot 
be expected. the first care of all societies formed for the improvement of ouk sci ence 
should be to prepare the forms of such experiments, and to distribute the execution of 
these among their members.
