MILLET.-Maior KlBBY has shown us sam
pie Of millet, raised on his farm, which is hard
TO beat. The heads are eleven inches in length
and we'll filled with seed. 1t is said TO be fair
sample of large crop growing on his farm.
Millet has proved to be valuable food for
stock, and produces two or three times as much
as any thing else that can be raised on the same
amount of land, for which reason it has become
quite popular with our stock raisers,- Inde-
pendence (MO) Messenger.

ToBAoco.-The Glasgow Times says the re
cent cool nights, and very slight irosts, have
male our tobacco growers little nervous. Tit
crop is looking well and ripening fast. But lit
tie is ready for the knife yet, but with fOvora
Bile weather for the next ten days, large pro
portion of the crop will be cut.
Very light frosts have been noticed elsewhere
both in the northern part Of Illinois and Mis-
souri,, but we doubt whether any injury has re
sulted from this change Of the weather. Fo
two or three days past it has been much too no
for comfort, without any very great prospect o
change.
NORM MISSOURI RAILROAD The St. Charlie

. county, but we apprehend that there are bu
Few that think this route will be found to be a
0ood assome others that can be found. But, W
f;ke the shirt with which the Board has acte
in the matter; it is but Just and right that all sec
tions and all interests should be consulted-an
then, all things considered the cheapest an
best route should be chosen.
