Professor Johnston's opinions on these subjects are well worthy of attention. ' ' It is acknowledged at present by chemical phy-, slologists. that warmth gquivslnnl to a certain per- tion effood—tbst an anrm l which is exposed to more cold will eat more-and that one that is better housed and warmer kept will eat less. To keep an animal eornfunsble therefore is to save feed. and this alone ought to he sufllcisnt inducement, where a sehrcity of winter food is complained of.

One of the opinions regarding the winter, which I have inserted above, makes it a tsidtter of complaint. that much care, attention, and experience are required to kse cattle-in condition while the winter lasts; this is no oubt true. but the saute qualifications are no- enasary to success in any other branch of hnslisndry;» and he who is nnwillingqo beptow all he possesses of there upon the business in whidi be is engaged, ma . happen to thrive, yet scarcely deserves to prosper. ' According to some, an acre of land in turnips will three times as fhr as the seats acre under hsy.- reps: vary so much however. that no moral rule eaa baeualilislied. It is certain only.i t by feed. esttln srtly with turnips and partly with buy or or er dry . not only will the sanie estsnt of land nap on more stock, but the snare‘ amount of feed will rtber than when either of the two is given to eat-— ii: singly.

If these insects, instead of being burned. had been scattered ever the round. they uiight,if the ensuing season had proved svourtible to them. have destroyed the greater part of the wheat cm on the farm. arious other expedients for the destruction of the rnidge have been proposed or adopted. hen the files are observed to be on the wing they might be prevented from depositing their eggs by kindling tires on the windward side of tlie held, or by agitating the grts_'ai by strotclicd lines carried by men’ 'btr_ve,'lti the calm evenings when the rnidges are most native. e ‘however are clumsy and troublesome expedi- ents, though. when they can be attended to, they rriay much good. it is also prnbable,tliat iftbs ground ‘were deeply ploughed, after the larva had fallen upon it in autumn, they might be too deepl covered to per- mit of their escape in t spring. n the ordinary svstem of rotaflon however, this could not be done without losing succeeding hay crop; and it is doubt- ful ifit would be very .efl'ectasl. Perhaps the most efl'ut:tunl remedy ever pro used. is that of discontinu- ing the culture of wheat or a year, and thus depriv- ‘ the uiidges of the necessary food for their l_ar\‘to. his is however an ex ensive expedient, and It re- uireti the consent of al the farmers in the district af- ad. in the great majority of cases, it might be rendered altogether unnecessary, iftliernethod of dee- troying the lsrvni already described were generally Es 3 r?""€E O .- ’l‘be most popular remedy hitherto tried has been late sowing. This however subjects the grain to rust, and necessitates the use ofearly varieties nfgrsin. W "ch are not usually so h or productive as others. It is also probable, that in a few years the habits cftlio creature and the date cfits appearance will change to suit the lateness nfthe grain which forms its food, and then the late sowin will prove quite ineffectual. It is also deservin§‘o notice. that bearded varieties sufl'er less Ibantbe Id.as the aims obstruct‘ the insects in depositing their eg a. 'l‘be'fscte above stated may be summed up as fol- lows:-— ' l The insect deposits its eggs on the grain about the time when it is in flower, and usually in the eve- run 2“'I‘he larva when hatched attaches itselfto the ‘young grain and prevents its growth. , 3 \Vlien full grown it becomes stiff and torpitl, and if left long enough falls to the ground.

The realities of Edn- cation sonsist, not rnerely in the cultivstienvof each‘ lntslleeinal quality in rain; but the consist inset of all in establishing the supremacy o conscience over all. in regulstin the motives efrnsn, by well-ortferqd and well-grsirn ed principles; and this formation of principle, this regulation of heart. can come from nothing but Religion. We must be aware that there are certain features in Educatiou—certairi rcsultn_ which I-‘slnention proposes to produce, for which there is it demand in the science ofths world. The busiricps of the world will always have a demand for the skill oftlie artiuin, for the correctness of the accountant, rations of commercial enterprise, or contribute to the welfare and enjoyment of man; and. therefore. we m:t'y safely trust‘, that the world will alwa it provide for its own wants, and that there will be rt wuyssunli a strong preasi deman for these objects‘, as will effectually as ea sup ly commensurate with the demand. The world w ll never allow Itself ts sulfur from the want of the things that minister to its own purposes But beyond this, there are eerrain other featurd in Education, for which the world has no demand. or one so cold. 8 slack, that‘ it never will produce. never will create a supply. It will require the skill of the engineer, the taste of the designer. the tsccurucy of the accountant; and will take cave. by high rewards, to bring forward talents of.these pecu- liar qualities, to answer its own euliar purposes; but all llitit is \\ ithin the man, all at which slisJl regu- te. his temper, which shall decide his cnurseto nrds the God that made sad the God that rsdnern hint, or which will make him valuable in devrtestic life.- all that shall make life a blessing hi the man liitnself, —-for these the world has no value, and firr these there is no denasnd in the business of the world. And llicrcfore, unless an education oeu be found to antici- pate that demand. or rather. to create that sup Lfer which there is no deniand in the world. we she I vs nlhtwsd that species of supply to fall rt, which lies at the foundation of all human p ' ' nal Being and that .sshibited. and developed. to the da which all other use that sever the rottesusss be Thus qaayrties are those which are the peuliar setisee e the Cross of Christ, brought home to st of lien in inhincy. and r alniest lnstlsfilve. by that ' close. their particular, their individual icatisn.’ .

' But. to surri up all in one single illustration: We . . of knowledge and education sepa- rate from religion. Now. permit me to show what knowledge. separate front religion, is, by an illustra. lion so rriuoifcst, that it might come home to the corn- prelienercsi ofn iild. We are familiar in the world with two species oflight,—tliu light of the sun, and the light of the moon. In the light of the sun, we now that warmth and light are inevitably and essen- tially connected; and every ray which proceeds from the great source of light. carries with it warmth and lndness. Ever ray oftlie sun, while it spreads over I e surface of t c globe, and is rnilected from every surface on which it falls with that beauty and variety ofcolour which the eye is enraptnrsd to behold; that same ray carries to every surface which it visits, the warmth which ripens and matures the fruit, and aa- pands the anirnnl frame, and spreads the blessings of plenty and en'oytrierit over every creature that moves on the face e the earth. Through the blessed influ- ence of that ray, the vine takes its colour, the grape its sweetness; whence comes that wine that “ rim- lteth glad the heart of mass." and the oil that was de. a’ tied to nislte him "ofa cheerful riounienance;" w mace the wheat derives its nourishment, and all animal lifu its extension and existence. Such is knowledge, when cornlsinsd with religious truth; and wherever education thus cornea. combined with reli- gion, and snnctiliml by the combination. it quickens those whom it visits, and given life, as surely asit conveys light. But there is another species of |ight—- tlie light of the moon; picturcsqne,‘ive tiray admit, in point of efl'ect, but at the satire time pale, cold, and spectral,--a light which is supposed, not only to fall with unhealthy influence en the body of nisn,liutalso by some mysterious power, to carry blight and sick. neas where it fnlls,——whir‘h sends not nan "forth to the cheerful exercise of his labour, but y wliirli the assassin plies his uridn ht work; ri light which does not give colourto the wer, nor sweetneu to the fruit, but gives expansion to the unwliolesorrre more that grows upon the wal|,—net the light that calls sniinal life to that cheerful pltiyfhlness which we may observe when we see snyrirtds of tiny insects dancing in the sunbeam, but a light under which things that steep and crawl. things w ich bins and mutter, things -deadly and dangerous creep forth. Such is edttca. tibn. when separate from religion; such isknoivletl , however rcoonirriended by circumstances, iiowe er addressed to the imagination by the temporal advan- tages which it promises; such is knowledge, and such - will it ever be found, when so ante and distinct from religion.
