How to sprout Usage Orange Seed.

The following plan for sprout-
ing Usage Orange seed may DO Of
use, as many are unsuccessful for
want of the proper knowledge
In the first place, having procur-
ed bright plump seed, Of last
years growth, II possible, put
them in a tight vessel, and pour
on them boiling water, until they
are covered. Cover up and let
them stand until milk-warm--
keeping them at this temperature
or warmer, until they begin to
burst and sprout. Keep a wet
cloth on top ofthe vessel, to PEE
vent the seed from becoming dry.
An occasional wetting with warm
water will be necessary. A few
days after the sprouts begin to
make their appearance, The seed
should be planted out in beds
previouslyprepared. If the seed
good:and properly treated, they
will sprout in about two weeks.

Probable Effects Of the War on Ag-
riculture.

A correspondent Of the Rich
mond Enquirer, writing from Liv-
erpool on the war, says the spirit
of the English is unitedcin favor
of the war, and that men and
money will be voted for ITS con-
tinuance by Parliament, and adds:
Yet when drained of her men
when so many thousands now en-
gagged in peaceful pursuits are
away; and the labor Of the coun-
try thus manifestly lessened, who
/ pray, are to furnish meat and
bread for the vast armies, and the
population that yet remains at
home? There is not n month less
to feed, and many less left to
feed, and many less left to pro-
duce the necessary food for all at
home or abroad. Russia will
send nothing from theBaltic, and
the great whcat-growing county
on the Danube, and that which
is watered by the many rivers
entering the Black Sea, is ravag-
ed desolating war; andall that the
people Of that vast and rich
country has for years sent abroad
and to England especially, will
find for its diminished productions
consumers at home. Already
are these considerations pressing
on the English wheat and flour
market, and keep up the prices
oven after good crop, has been
secured in a most admirable con-
dition. Wheat sells now at rather
higher prices than it did one year
ago, and our country can now but
insufliciently supply either Eng
land or France. But let our peo-
pie make less tobacco and cotton
the next year and the year after,
and, / tell you, your millions Of
wealth will be drawn hence to us,
il for these new staple articles, ar
ticles Of wheat, corn and provis-
ions be substituted. Clear up
your lands, and put the utmost
breadth Of them in everything
necessary for food Of man, and
everything that's produced viii
find an admirable market the
next yepr. True, our wheat croI
is already in the ground, and III
quantity cannot be now increased
but our corn crop may, and tina
is in article which will pay mucl
better next year than either The
tobacco or cotton crop.

MEssRs. EprroRs: In late number
of your paper, / saw a reward Of
fered for Chess raised from wheat.
| think / am entitled to the re-
ward, as shown below. Last year
| prepared 20 acres 6r sowing
wheat; the field is 80 rods long
by 40 rods wide. l first broke
up the lot the long way, and then
cross narrowed it; finally harrow
ed it lengthwise, and commenced
drilling the short way of the field,
when it commenced raining. /
then stopped one or two days, and
finished the field just as the rain
left the ground.
The half sowed before the rain
was clear ofchess-the other half
was almost an entire crop Of chess.
The supposition is that chess
is sown, or is in ground where
we SOW wheat. Now it could not
have been in the ground, because
the field has been under cultiva-
ton for % or 80 years, and the
two previous years to sowing
wheat, the first year was in corn,
and the second in oats. sowing on
oat stubble. The land is clean
and dry, free from stumps and
stones, and considered No. ! land.
The chess must have come
from the wheat, Notwithstanding
the wheat sown was the best Sc
leoted Genessee wheat, or why
should one-half Of the field pro-
duce a good clean crop of wheat
and the other halfproduce chess?
And If it comes from the land,
Why did it not grow between the

] account for the chess in this
manner: The ground after the
rain was not in good condition,
and the wheat properly covered,
which is fully shown by one half
produced good wheat, and the
other half nothing but chess.

Moral Courage.

The Rockville la True Republi-
can, gives, in recent issue. an excel
lent illustration Of moral courage,
which we commend 10 the imitation Of
all who have unfortunately become
the slaves Of a depraved appetite.
IAN old and excellent friend Of ours
had been until within the last four
years, bound by the letters Of intern
pcrance, until almost every trace Of
his former selfwas lost. On one oc-
casion he was brough by some means
or other, to stop and reflect on his sit
uation. He asked himself the ques-
ton, elias all this dissipation, loss Of
character, estrangement of FRI ads, and
loss Of property, done me any, good?"
The answer was, mo" That mo.
mentary pause in his downward course
saved him. He resolved to drink nc
more. He stuck to his resolve, and
was man once more. From the mo-
ment that be made this wise resolve,
he determined. from that time forward
to deposite in LITTLE box five cent
piece for every dram that he had been
in the daily habit Of taking. That
man has now laid away 1850 Eve cent
pieces, which amount to S67, so. A
sum large enough to buy several acres
Of good land, all ofwhich, had it not
been for the courageous resolution to
"sin no more, would have been guz-
zled down in that poison thas destroys
the soul and body. So much for the
courage that says "Nol" 10 the temp
ter. and the will that preserves in the
course determined on. But tie mar
rativc not only illustrates "moral cou.
rage" il also sugests remedy for
hard tines" which may be of pracii-
cal value to thousands.
