Tho trade-winds aro com- fog up from the Guif, filling all tho South-conn- try with the broath of occan,—the damp, warm alr that may havo had o homo in far-oft Africa ; for fromthero, or from boyond, comes the cteady curront of hoated air, that haypasscd ovor tropic gons, and Is tumed by tho Andos northward ; and thig great volumo of hot, moist air in prossed up tho valloy of tho Groat Rivor, and spreads, fau-shaped, ovor oll the Northwest, and thus fills tho whole prairio country with the broath of pummer. The winter's cold is driven back, and tho frosty air that the prairics had invited ovor their smooth confour of sur- faco, thun at times making thom tho battlo-fleld of fiorce contonding storms. The waves of cold that have carried destruc- tion in their pathway have now anothor forco to contend with, for THE TRADE-WINDY hiavo now como back to thoir old track, and back, bock must go tho ice-border, day ofter duy, steady, yot cortain not on tho wiugs of tho wind, but n stoady march of 10 or 12 miles .8 doy,—vory much liko tho old Dutch oxpress corried by yo anclent burgher of the City of New Amstordam, when ho carried important nows to the towns and rural population thnt bordered the Hudson. In tho cotton-flelds the plow is already busy, ond tho buds are sweliing on tlio poach, the pear, and the applo, in tho orchards of the Ground Chain,—that spur of the Ozarks that walled in tho groat lake that once spread over the bagin of Egypt. And horo, ON THE GRATN-FIELDH, whore wheat and corn, and oats, and rye, and barloy predominate, wo must be ready for the planting, tho sowing, and the cultivating, And this brings up & quostion, not now, but old as timo,—that {5, tho timo thet the husbandman first went to the flold, with his ox, and pointed stick, aud eack of grain.

And yet thin ia only equaled by anothor dis- covery that is due to the lenrned Secrotary of tho sumo institution, as get forth at tho late moeting of tho State Horticultural Sociaty : That, in order to grow timbor on tho prairio, thera aliould be, fivst, o planting of cottonwood to propara tho sl for the growth of useful forest-traes. Darwin was well advised when ho stated that man was descended from a_monkey. Tho noxt dis- covery will be that we have Iiad a set of woodon- headsd men to prepare the way for a use- ful raco to follow in tho Farmors’ Colloge.
