Agriculture is the art of cultivating the ground; including, in its ordinary acceptation, the rearing and management of domestic animals. It has been termed Farming, from the word farm, which in England usually signifies a portion of land leased or rented; and it has also been called Husbandry, though this word has often a wider signification, as synonymous with good management of one's business, and provision for one's family. Agriculture, though apparently simple in its operations, still derives benefit from various sources of knowledge. From Machinery, it borrows its implements; from Chemistry, it may derive a knowledge of soils, and the means of fertilizing them; from Botany, a knowledge of the plants which it cultivates or eradicates; and from Zoology, it may learn the habits and peculiarities of the animals which it rears, with the means of improving and training them for greater utility to mankind. We may distribute the branch of Agriculture under the heads of Agricultural Implements; Preparing Lands for Tillage; Fertilizing the Soil; The Cultivation of Vegetables; and The Rearing of Animals.
