Excerpt from American Journal of Agriculture and Science, 1848, Vol. 7: Devoted to the Promotion of Agriculture, Horticulture, Science, Arts, and Industry The truth is, that facts and experiments in agriculture are so slowly evolved, that in our opinion, such a journal affords ample field in which to introduce them to the reader. The science of agriculture seems to be gaining votaries in every part of the community. There is no single profession in all the wide circle of callings, requiring more varied, accurate, and ex tensive knowledge, than the cultivation of the soil. But when robbed of science, the noblest calling of man loses all its charms. Fortunately for the age in which we live, men of learning have stepped forward to rescue agriculture from its fallen condition. Few as yet have learned that agriculture is, emphatically, the science of production. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
