agriculturist as in that month he gathers in a large
proportion of his matured crops, which may be blighted
and blasted by one heavy frost, and the labor Of a year
d%issipated. 10 ascertain the liability Of crops being in
jured in this region by frost, in September, we have ex-
amined the observations made at Fort Smelling, during
eleven years, for the mouth Of September, and find that
for ten years out Of eleven, the thermometer did not in
dicate so low a degree of temperature as the freezing
point, and for the remaining year only one observation
where the cold indicated was under the freezing poict,
and then it was only two degrees below, in the latter
part of the month possibly, and not sufficiently cold to
ln]ure any crops exposed to it.
1t is a we'll known fact that Indian Corn can be sue
~cessfu'ly cultivated in any climate where the average
mean temperature Of the month of July exceeds $50.
1t will be noticed that not only the average mean tenn
perature at St. Paul, and by that we mean at Fort Shell.
ing (two miles south and three west of st. Paul. where
the observations have been made, is greater than $50
for the month Of July, but also greater for the month of
August, and that the average Of June only falls one
half a degree below 6S. So there could not be any
doubt-without even our successful experience on the
subject for years and judging from theory only, and the
climate during the growing months-that Corn can be
raised with great success in this region of country. We
would also call the attention Of Eastern people contem-
shown, by contrasting the temperature at St. Paul with
that at Chicago, as above, and that is the great differ
ence in temperature in favor of St. Paul, for the months
OF April, May and June, during which months vegeta-
ton SO much needs warmth. This difference in temper
allure, between the two places very we'll accounts for the
statements sometimes made that the season in St. Paul
is two weeks earlier than at Chicago
10 making these remarks and entering upon this con-
trast with Chicago, to the disadvantage in one sense of
the latter, our object is not to depreciate Chicago, so
much ~ to avail ourselves Of her conceded ability to
raise II her vicinity corn and all the cereals successfully,
in order the better TO convince those -doubters in the
Esst. OF their error who still labor under the misappre.
hension that because here at st.. PAUL we are nearly two
degrees farther north, our climate is necessarily proper
tionably colder throughout the year. The figures show
that in the growing months it is sonrmer, and this with
the warm nature of our soil, accounts for our not only
being able to cultivate corn successfully, but for the im.
mcnse quantity Of fine melons of every variety that are
so easily and p%lentifully produced.-[St. Paul Minneso-

The Mean Temperature OF Chlcage aud st,
Paul COMPARED,

1t may seen paradoxical, but it is nevertheless a fact,
that for mine months of the year the average mean tefn-
perature or mean heat of St. Paul, in latitude III deg.
So min, is greater than at Chicago, in latitude 43 deg.
.04-min. And that for the six months Of the year, be-
ginning with the month Of April, which are so import
ant to the farmer, the average mean temperature or
average heat at St. Paul is decidedly greater than at
Chicago. The general opinion in the Northern, East
en aud Middle States, is that Minnesota is too cold a
country for successful farming; that but a limited varie-
ty of crops can be raised here; and therefore many per-
sons who otherwise would make their home in this Ter
ritory, are tempted to settle in Iowa, Nebraska and Kan
sas, when, in truth, the same crops can be cultivated
successfully in Minnesota than can be in Rsnnsylyonia.
As the climate of Chicago, which city is better known
in the East than any other Western city or town, is
pretty we'll understood by Eastern people, we have been
led to examine Blodgett's NimatoIcgy and the Army
Meteorological Register, to ascertain from the careful OBJ
servations there compiled, what the exact difference is,
in the temperature Of the two places.
The average winter temperature at St. Paul we find
to be ten degrees colder than at C~hicago-St. Paul aver
aging 10 deg. l min above zero, and Chicago rs deg. 9
min. above-which difference is compensated to St. Paul
in part, however, by a much Tess amount of snoic, rain
and wind.
The average of the remaining nine months is greater
at st. Paul than at Chicago, by about one dcy,ee, and
the average Of the sic months beginning with April and
ending with September, which season includes both
seed time and harvest is about tno and q hall degrees
greater at the former than at the latter place.
Taking the ~thermometrical observations made at both
places, for the same period Of flee years, we find them
