the sober dissenters' of New England as thew
formerly used to call themselves, have been trans.

Missionary Beggars, regularly appointed and COM

learned Doctor of Divinity, down to the parish dea

We have Missionary schemes for fattering money
from the rlch-for extortng it from The poor, and
Tor tithing a-for reaping where others have sown,

An article on the subject of MILLET in the
Waterman of the 9th inst. being in some particu-
lars erroneous, we have been furnished by Mr.
William Warner, with the following correct state
ment Of facts. AS we conceive it to be very in
teresting subject, we think the editors of newspa
pers would subserve the farming interest generally,
by giving it as wide circulation as possible and
every farmer who receives paper containing the
article, ought to preserve the same, in order to try
the experiment.
Son the 9Th Of May last, sowed half bushel of
Millet seed on an acre and one quarter of ground,
which had MANFRED for the purpose. About the
18th OF July following when the heads were yellow
and the stalks and blades green, had it cut. 1t
produced three tons of hay which my horses eat
with as much avidity as they would the best upland
1t yielded 500 bushels OF clean seed, exclusive of
what was left in the sheaves, weighing 4eB pounds
per bushel. When manufactured into -four it makes
a cake equally palatable as buckwheat, and be-
lieve more wholesome. BY not moving it till
the seed are ripe, all the advantages derivabe from
the seed will accrue to the former, and the hay
will be equally good if not better than if cut earlier
| think sowed mine rather too thin. am inform
ed, and from the experiment made, believe Cor
rec,ly, that 1t will produce more and better of both
hay and grain if pecks or one bushel of seed be
TO the acre, according to the quality or strength
Of the ground
"This crop hasa great advantage over most others.
1t is sown and gathered at time when it does not
interfere with other work My crop was graded,
shocked and bound the same as wheat 1t remained
about five days in shock, and was thrashed in one
day by two men, as it was hauled into the barn, so
easy is it to thrash.''
