Hungarian Grass--0r, the Hay Crop Of the
West. es

Ed. PRAIRIE FARMER II am not in the
habit Of writing often for your paper, but
| viii try and give your readers a short
account Of my observations and experience
with the Hungarian grass. II is, think,
a species Of the millet; but different from
anything the farmers here have been &C
quainted with by that name. Itgrows to
the height Of from four to five feet; is
ihickly set will, blades the entire length Of
the stalk, so that il appears, before the
head shows itself, like dense mass Of
blades waving in the wifd-a beautiful
sight, truly, to the farmer, in view Of the
fact that the old perennial cultivated gras-
ses are. not to be relied on for a supply of
fodder, the roots being too short and sen-
der to reach below the influence of our
dry. hot summers, in the light prairie soil
of. the West, which, really is not adapted

pears to be exactly adapted to our deep,
loose prairie soil, and is perhaps better
crop in Iowa than in its native county,
The secret Of its great success here lies in
| its strong vitality, stout roots, and adap-
tation to dry soil. It's great vigor and
strong roots can pierce below the reach OF
drought, and draw upon the treasures of
fertility which lie beneath. me average
weld per acre, l think, will run as high as
four tons, though five or six tons per acre
have been raised, under favorable cireum
stances.
1t is not hay alone which gives value to
this crop. 1t produces seed to the amount
of from twenty totwenty-five bushels per
acre, which is as heavy as oats, and more
oily and nutritious. AS hay, it is superb

farmer. Horses prefer the Hungarian.and
will thrive on it alone, when not worked

No,th-Wersern Sugar Growers Convention.


! The Prairie Farmer refers to this con
ventiou as a sort Of imposition. A certain
Mr. Hedges Of Cincinnati took much 0
! the time up in putting his new species O
African Cane, he being the owner Of :
large quantity Of the seed. This Nj
| Hedges had also an apparatus for grinding
cane which he wanted recommended. Blu
what surprised the convention most was
from St. Louis: Mr.. Belcher whose pre-
dictions Of the failure to grauulate the su
gar cane are fresh in the memory of all
took accession to send some Of his specimens
of graduated sugar for exhibition, accom-
panied BY a fattering ealogy upon tn
Sorghum plant. Less than three months
|ago, he ridiculed the idea of making its
culture profitable. It is said he owns a
sugar plantation on the Island of Cuba
which accounts for his theory, that people
Of the north can not make their own sugar
and molassss.
The Farmer remarks that the business
|of cane growing will probably beoverdone
next season. AS soon as planting time ar
rives, the whole county will swarm with
seed peddlerS, and every lottery and adver-
will h0l1 IL, g
fer Of packages of sugar cane seed sent
gratuitously! The Farmer further re-
marks that even should the sugar and mo-
lasses business be not overdone, there is
danger Of disappointment; men will en-
gage extensively in the business under the
belief that prices will remain at q certain
point. Sugar and molasses will be down
in all probability and men will regret the
.a
We hope the ipeople..in Grant County
will therefore be on their guard. We
give this caution because we can already
see people in the early stages Of an uncall-
ed for excitement. People are calling
every day for Information about sugar cane
seed, and at the extent of present feelings,
they could easily be induced to pay enor-
NOUS prices for seed. If our farmers pay
no heed tosthe clamors ofseel and patent
mill ned1lers. in less than five wears, the
Farmer says, the people Of he north west
wil export sugar and molasses; but if they
permit themselves to be led into extrava-
giant hopes and be deceived at first and
lose money at first they will get Disguised
and it will take them five years to get
over it. Prudence is urged, till people
GET to understandable plant and its culti-
walton, also, the method of manufacturing
the juice into sugar and molasses.

of sixty or ninety days to the retailer O
the surrounding country, knowing then
intimately and having them constantly il
view, that may BE a tolerably safe opera
! ton; but, as between the retailer and thei,
customers, there is but one sound policy
THAT of Pay Down. Let the farmer who
has Corn Or Cattle to spare, accept a low
price in hand rather than higher price ia
promises; and let the, merchant invariably
do likewise. Good paymasters have long
Ienough paid in enhanced prices for the
goods consumed by bad ones.
There never was q better time than the
present for turning over a new leaf, and
insisting that it shall stay turned. The
infexibIe disuse henceforth Of Mercantile
Credit would add tens Of thousands speed

our country's. wealth. Instead Of support
ing such Gothic armies Of traders, lawyers,
sheritfs, constables, &c, &C., our producers
would have large SURPRISES to exchange
with neighboring mechanics and manufac-
tures, and would soon find their houses
filed with furniture and carpets in place

may be accused of, but the practice Of
swearing they cannot. Ihave made many
inquiries into the state of their vocabu-
larry, and nothing is more bitter or re-
proachful than match annemoosh, which
indicates simply bad dog. They have
terms toindicate cheat, liar, thief, murder

cation or oath. The genius of the Ian
guage does not seem 10 favor the forma

pearance, and would readily pass for a
man Of slow estate" Stopping at the same
house was a New York runner, with q
good supply of hair about his face, and nc
ndefcency of air in his manner. The
New Yorker was going West by stage,
which started as an early hour, and meet
inc the Governor in the bar-room in his
shirt-sleeves, unshaven, and his hair stand
ing every way addressed him thus "Por-
ter! bring my baggage from No. 81 p
.sYes sir said the Governorran up stairs
shouldered the fellows trunk, and convey
ed it to the bar-room, saying: "Your trunk
sir!" The New Yorker put his hand into
his pocket for quarter, when mutual
friend approached and introduced the por.
ter as Governor Grimes. 90! ho!" said
he, sis that the Governors" and vanished
out of the door.
