SIGNs OF PRosPERIrY.-Several Of our
Justices of the peace have been very busly
engaged during the past two weeks in taking
the acknowledgment of deeds for real estate
which has been disposed of by the former
owners. There has been a large amount of
property sold this spring, and it is probable
that great number of substantial buildings
will be erected during the season.

Early Harvesting.

As to the philosophy of early harvesting.
Prof: Norton holds the following language =
t. The time of cutting grain very scnsibly al
fects the proportion Of fine flour and bran
yielded by samples Of it. Careful experiments
have shown with regard to wheat, that when
cut from ten to fourteen days before it is fully
ripe, the grain not only weighs heavier but
measures more; it is positively better in quail
ity. producing larger proportion of fine -four
to the bushel. When the grain is in the milk
there is but little woody fibre; nearly every
thing is starch, gluten, sugar &c, with a large
per ccntayc of water. If cut ten or twelve
days before full ripcnoss, the proportion o!
woody fibre is still small but as the grain ri
pens, the thickness Of the skin rapidly in
creases, woody fibre being formed at the cX-
pcnse Of starch and sugar; these must obvi-
ously diminish in corresponding degree, the
quality Of the grain being Of course injured
The same thing is true Us to all OF the other
grains"

Cutting Wheat Early.

The best time for cutting wheat, so as to
secure the greatest weight and value. both Of
grain and straw has been found by repeated
and carefully conducted experiments, to be be.
fore it is fully ripe. About ten days before
this period is The medium pointed cut by diff
fercnt trials in different countries. Mr.. Ham
nam, Of Yorkshire, England, some years since
communicated to the J5urnni Of Agriculture
a detailed account of wheat cut at I'VE dl!ier-
ent times, from quite green untl! dead ripe,
covering a period Of four years. mat cut

in point Of weight of gross produce of IL l-5
per cent. in weight of equal measures of near
~ - per cent; in weight of equal number OF
grains. of , l-2 per cent. 1t Was superior in
quality and value of grain above the other
specimens 3 Ii Der cent. and III weight Of
straw, ) per cent. That rcaped ten days be-
fore it WAS ripe was nearly equal to that cut
as above, which shows that the commencement
OF Il harvest should not be delayed later than
q full fortnight before the ripcning Of the grain.
In the transactions of the y. Y. A"ricultu-
raj Society for 1919, we find notes OF an eX-
pertinent made by J. j. Thomas, Of Macedon.
who cut wheat at five different periods within
il month, with the same result 50 far as noted,
as in the experiments Of Mr. Hannah. The
weight OF one hundred kernels Of wheat, cut
when the .'licads were mostly yellow, and still
erect with few strcals Of green in the chaif,,
exceeded that Of the same number of seeds
fully riDc. two grains wcight-thc one sample
weighing 80 and the other SO grains.
Many other experiments have confirmed
the above, and proved that wheat cut from
one to two weeks previous to its becoming
dead ripe, is plumpcr, weighs heavier, has less
bran and more nutritive matter, than when
longer un!iarycStcd. AS soon as the straw I'M
mediatcly below the head turns yclloW-b2-
coming hard and dry two Or three inches Ill
lcngth-it is evident that no more nourish-
ment can be received from the root, and that
both straw and grain must dctcriorate instead
of advancing in value. Tho straw becomes
more wood like in texture, and the skin of the
grain acquires greater thickness, as Go all such
seeds at fall maturity. The straw is worth
nearly one fourth mere as feed for cattle, than
that which stands until bleacled and dry.
In cutting wheat while portion of the straw
is yet green, greater attention is necessary to

Major Bennett.

We were much delighted a few days since,
on meeting an old friend in the person of Maj.
BENNETT, the Register of the Land Office at
Brownsville, Minnesota. The Major acquit-
ted himself with distinction in the Mexican
war, and at the incoming of President PIERcE's
administration, was appointed Consul to Bra
I'll. The unhealthincss of the climate induced
him to resign his consulate; and, on his return
to our country, the position he now occupies
was rendered him, and accepted. We know
the Major to be gallant gentleman, and a
thorough Democract. Possessing these quail
ties, he must prove a popular officer.

The Territory Of Kansas.

The editor Of the Chicago Democratic Press
AIKEN, Esq, one of the editors of the n. Y.
Ercn,ng Post, who has lately made tour
through Kansas, as an appendix-like to the
grand Pa',road excursion, of which party lie
was distinguished member.
Mr.. AIKEN confirms the accounts previous
ly received concerning the beauty of the coun-
try. He saw large section of the territory,
and conversed with intelligent gentlemen from
otEer portions; and gathers from all the in
formation he could obtain, that it compares
favorably with the best portions Of the West.
We have been particularly interested, howev-
err, in perusing Mr.. A1KEN's statements touch
ing the probability of its becoming free
State. He says that the resolutions adopted
by conventions of Southerncrs at Weston and
Independence, uphoding slavery, and con-
dcmning those opposed to its introduction
there, misreprescnts the feelings of a majority
of those who are about to settle i'll that coun-
try. He states that slave property is sulli-
GENTLY unsafe in Missouri, and there is very
little disposition among the planters in that
State to emigrate with their property" to
the new territory. The meeting which passed
the resolutions was composed of broken-down
political hacks, who wished to obtain some
little notoricty by clustering and braggadocio.
The respectable people in the town had moth
ing to do with the meeting.
We are glad to chronicle this kind of testi-
mony from so reliable source, as it confirms
the strong probability now generally enter
tanned, that under the operation of the popu-
lar sovereignty clause of the bill organizing
Kansas and Nebraska, those territories will
be secure against the permanent establishment
of slavery.
