;. A writer in the Scientific American describe
, the Dhoora corn, or Egyptian milet, and say
1t is much cultivated and extensively consume,
: in India and Egypt, and the interior Of Africa
and is quite equal in nutritve value to the ave
rage OF wheats, and yields beautiful -four
The Charleston Mercury says that the late pro
lessor Johnston analysed it, and found that j
contained III per cent. of gluten. Since glu.
ten IS the chief nutrtive ingredient of all oul
grams this comparison of the professor exhibits
a nutrtlve value for the millet that surpasses
some OF the richest grains in use for food ofman
or stock Major r. A. Griffin, Of Abbeville, S.
Carolina, says that it produces from 50 to 100
bushels OF grain to the acre. A correspondent
OF the Mercury writes that he has cultivated
the mlllet for three or four years, with full
conviction of its great value. This season be
was induced to have some of it ground on the
hand mllstones common to Sea Island planta-
tons, and was pleased to find that, though the
flour was neither white nor apparently contain
ed as much as III per cent of gluten with the
addition Of little wheat -four it made very pal
atable hot breakfast breads, especially waffles
and mullins; and it's now regularly served dali
ly on his table, and the children in particular
are very fond oft. He prefers the waffles and
cakes made OF mlllet to those made out oftour,
corn or buckwheat, and learns from reliable
authority that, when ground on larger stones
and boted, the -four cannot be DISTINGUISHED
from the second quality of wheat flour, called
'mlddllngs.". The homny made Of the grits
is very pa]atabe Experiments have proved
that the mlllet will produce twice or thrice as
much grain as Indian corn on lands of the same
FERTILITY When planted early, (say 1st March
t Will rpen It's first crop Of ears about the mid
lie OF July, and continue bearing successional
'rops until killed by frost. If sown later, it
will grow much taller, but ripen only one or '
wo crops of heads; and when thus sown no
:rop known produces such prodigous guam +
lty of green vegetable, suitable for fodder. It
hould be sown and cultivated exactly as Indi- 5
n corn. The writer asserts that for crop of IL
arly provisions for negroes and stock of eve IL
y kind, he knows of no grain that can be com y
AIRED with it; and for the combination of guam "
ty and quality of product, it has no equal II
mong our provisional crops. Cannot some of d
III Red River planters test the merits of this "
luch Wanted Dhoora corn? ~
The Paris correspondent of the New Orleans OF
icavpne saws that a Iadv has d;scoUarod fe
recess Of liquifying ivory and casting it in "
oulds; she has terminated ivory casts of the 10
Celebrated wood work of the choir of Notre o'
anne, of wonderful brilIiancy. A photograph al
has discovered a method for fixing on any J"
lnvas prepared for oil painting likenesses the 10
re of life, so that all an artist needs to do is nj
ask one sitting Of the person who desires his ID
ortrait and the portrait may be completed at =,
isure. Mr. Bonelly has invented '.locomo- +
We telegraph" which promises to be of the W
'eatest utility. He uses (nstead of the or io]
nary wire a fiat iron bar or strip some inch oa
thick and some inches wide, secured in the Ca
lddle of the track and isolated by earthen- Wi
are, which keeps it several inches above the TEL
IL. An arrangement OF springs, which can be lsi
ised or lowered at will enables the operator on
place in communication the telegraph appa- WI
tus which is in the tender and this bar or
Up. These springs glide on the bar all the ma
ne the train is in motion, to that the operator d"
~ at any time send OF receive telegraphic Inf
'patches. The apparatus is connected with COZ
2 soil by the axles, wheels and rails. The sa'
periments made were completely successful.
