sow MILLET.

Do you want to know why? Because it
Yields more food for man and beast than any
other cultivated grain.
Cut for hay, the crop is large and OF
excellent quality, and it is said to imports
a vigor and elasticity to working cattle
that is acquired from no o.hcr food. Stock
too, are very fond o! the mlllet hay.
II allowed to ripen its seed it is on cX-
celent grain for animals, possessing MS
much nutriment as Indian corn, but not itf
fatteping property. In Europe it it is often
rrour,d for bread, and where people are nc
customed to its use,. they are fond OF mllle'
bread.
In this latitude, as we learn from good
authority, the time Tor sowing miIet is from
the first of May to the middle Of JuEe, when it
will be ready to harvest in July or August,
leaving the ground in the best condition
for a crop of winter grain. A rich light
soil is best, an | should be deep and finely
prepared as for crop of wheat.
If grown for hay, from thirty to forty
quarts Of seed should be sown to tho acre.
II should be cut while the seed Is IN the
milky state, and as soon as it is well wilted
it should be put up and cured in cooke, as
recommended for hay; if the weather is.'nr,
i, vii be sufficiently made in three or four
days, when the cocks should be turned and
opened few hours before it is hauled in
When sown for the grain, from sixteen
10 twenty quarts of seed arc required to
tie acre, and if put in with good seed
drill. the crop of seed would be much i'm
proved.
No attempt ehoull ever bo made to
secure both seed and hay from the snme
field. Plant one field for seed and one for
hay.
A good crop will yield at least five tons
Of hay.
For seed the upper parts of the head
must be ripe before it Is cat.
There is one advantage in growing
milet that ought to commend 1t to all
farmers-lt fiourishes well in all seasons.
Farmers who once commence the culti-
vaton OF inillet seldom ever abandon il.
Who will this year try crop ol mille!.

COUNTRY GIRLS.


Up in the early morning
Just at the peep Of day,
Siraining the milk in the dairy,
Turning the cows away
Sweeping the floor in the kitchen,
Making the beds up stairs,
Washing the breakfast dishes,
Dusting the parlor chairs.
Brushing the crumbs from the pantry,
Hunting for eggs at the barn
Cleaning the turnips for dinner,
Spinning the stocking yarn
Spreading the whitening linen
Down on the bushes below,
Ransaciing every meadow
Where the led strawberries grow
storching the "fxings" for Sunday,
Churning the snowy cream,
Rinsing the pals and straincr
Down in the running stream.
Feeding the geese and turkeys,
Making the pumkin pies,
jogging the little ones cradle,
Driving away the flies.
Grace in their every motion,
Music in every tone,
Beauty in form and feature
Thousands might coyei TO owE..-
Cheeks that rival spring roses,
Teeth the whitost OF pearls;
One of these country maids is worth
a score Of your city girls.

the damage done TO the Arabs in the province

OF horses, mules. cattle. sheep and carnels by

WHa wvs THE Man ?-The Tribune tells sto-
ry of San Francisco Editor who, while on a
visit to Sacramento, applied at the door of the
Assembly while the Conscript Fathers
were in session. Mr. p, the door keeper. it ap-
pears did not fancy the looks of the new conner
and intimated to him that Mr.. Speaker Stowe
was rather particular about giving every- body
who might choose to come, admission into the
presence of that august body, limiting also very
deicatey that charge would be made if the
stranger would take seat among the gods in
the gallery. The editorial friend stared amaz-
edy. and the door keeper stared and there
would have been fight if the applicant had moi
been man of peace.
+" But, SIR" said the member of the press in
low and abashed voice.. am reporter"
"A porter are you,' auoth the door-keeper.
"Well there's plenty for you to do outside this
door, without troubling yourself what's going
on in he interior. D-n ii! McAlpin has been
singing ont for pitcher of water these two
hours. Go and get it-wihat do you suppose the
State pays you forq"
1t was of course with extreme disgust that
the insnlted Merateur explained mistake and got
admission. What is worse, his friends have got
wind of the affair, and have christened him
porter" 50 Porter" say they, take little
stout" and Sam B. suggests ''ort:and-oJ,,' and
so on. It's a capital joke. but the Tribune says
it shouldn't be surprised if somebody got the
top of his head taken off, if the games played
out.

A LEARNED TRAvELER.-Rev. DR.. Norton
lately arrived in New York, to undergo medical
treatment for disease contracted in Western
Africa, which resulted in making him deaf
mute. OF his great learning the NJ Y Herald
speaks thus: " He has travelled far into the in
terror of Africa. to the Mountains of the Moon.
He has visited the Budhists and passed through
Asia. and is thoroughly posted 1p in the secrets
of the Chinese Philosophers. He was once
able to preach in twenty-five languages, which
he had acquired in his travels in Europe, Asia
aud Africa, and he has now in his possession
books and manuscripts in thirty different dia-
lects, and he is at present employed in trans
lating volume of the political and ecclesiasi-
cal laws OF Budha. of his great talents
and wonderful learning (adds the Herald, }

Hence il would be humane act to save the fu-
ture generation OF Chiuamen this fate.
We believe with Palanius in his advice to his
son Laertes-and think it may apply TO States
as well as persons-when he says:
This above all things: to thine own self be
true;
1t mnstfollow then, as the night the day,
Thou canst be false TO no man."
Let US be true to our own interests and desti
ny. and we surely shall not wrong these Asiat-
les.
To sum.up: we of the opinion that the
Legislature of California has the power to act as
suggested in the dream of Jeffersonian. And
if upon full examination it shall be found to
be Unconstitutional, we would respectfully sug
gest that the Legislature has the power TO in
struct their Senators and Congressman at Wash
inston to bring under the notice of Congress
our grievance, and ask for the passage Of a bill
giving us immediate redress.
By the manner of our remarks we mean no
disrespect to Karl " and will do him the Justice
TO say I'VE have met with many who hold his
view of this question. Our only object indeed,
in writing this article, is to waken from their
apathy those who continually crying =" This
is great and growing evil, but what can we

these people, but there is no remedy" Wake

To MAKE HENS LAY PERPETUALLY.-We find
the following in an English paper, and transfer
it to our paper without vouching for its cor
rectness
Keep no roosters; give the hens fresh meat
chopped up like sausage meat, once day-a
very small portion, say half ounce day to
each bep-in winter, or from the time insects
disappear in the fan till they appear again in
the spring Never allow any eggs to remain in
the nest for what called nest eggs. When
roosters do not run with the hens, and no nesr
eggs left in the nest, the hens will not cease
laying after the production Of twelve fifteen
eggs, as they always do when roosters and nest
eggs are allowed. but continue laying perpetn.

food which they get in summer in abundance
