to thank for the defeat of the bill grant
ing lands to each State for the erection Of
an Agricultural College. Their request
for its passage was SO moderate and rea-
sonable, so obviously looking to the pub
lie good, that the rumored intention of
the President to veto it, was at first dis
credited. 1t was a request which moth
ing could be lost by granting, and moth
ing could be gained by refusing. New
ertheless it encounters the Presidential
veto.
The Presidents excuse is "Econo
my" Yet the bill did not propose to
take one dollar out of the Treasury. 1t
only proposed to bestow for the education
of young Farmers, n few hundred acres
of those Lands which this same economi-
cal President has helped to squander by
the thousand acres, and the million acres,

speculations in Land Warrants, specula-
tors in Forts, and spectators in public

Hungarian Grass.

We do not think sufficient attention has
been given, by the farmers of this por-
ton of our State, to the cultivation and
growth of this important item of agri.
cultural economy. From sources which
are entitled to credit, we have the most
decisive accounts of its adaptability tc
our climate and soil, and its superiority
over timothy grass as forage for stock.
Our farming community should keep
pace with their neighbors in other parts
of the State, in the selection and cutiva-
ton of those crops which are the best
fitted to this latitude, climate and soil,
and best adapted to the wants of the
country.
There has been too much of dspo
sition, amongst farmers, to adhere to old
practices and prejudices under all cir
cumstances a disposition which, we are
glad to perceive, is fast wearing away
under the genial influence of scientific
discoveries in the extensive field of ag-
riculturc and that practical agricultur-
lists are becoming the most progressive
class, as we'll as the most influential we
have in the West.
But, to return to our subject, the re-
suit Of the cultivation of Hungarian
grass, or German mllet, in those parts
of our State where its successful produc-
ton is now as fixed a fact as is any other
cereal, shows that the yield of grass TO
the acre is from to 5 tons, rarely falling
below three tons, under even the most
unfayorable circumstances of seed about
20 bushels, weighing 80 pounds; that
1t leaves the ground in good condition
for fall blowing /; that stock relish il more,
and thrive upon it better than upon tim
othy that when fed in the sheaf, with
the seed, is as good, and furnishes more
Eourishment than sheaf oats
Now, it seems TO us, III view of the
above facts, that the only question is,
whether a cereal which is produced to
advantage so miles south of us, can be
raised to the same advantage and profi(
here-the soil being of the same general
nature. We think that it can be, and
ask our farmers il it is not worthy OF

that the quantity, although OF the finest

Another Terrible Railroad Accident


ne" A melancholy accident occurred
on the Great Western Railroad, between
Hamilton and Copetown, on March 10Th,
resulting in the death of six persons, and
the injury of many others. a furious
storm had been raging, and the water
had washed away a portion of heavy
bank, making chasm some fifty fee
long, and l2 to 20 feet deep. Into this
the night express train ran, one car upon
top of another, smashing each into splint-
ers, and making an appalling wreck
The night was dark. the snow falling in
masses, tie wind blowing perfect hur-
ricane, and the water rushing into and
through the chasm, making, with the
groars Of the wounded and the dying, a
scene of the most frightful description.
The killed, SO far rs ascertained, were
Mr.. Jones Boyer, of Ohio, Mr.. Alexan-
der Braid, of Hamilton G. Morgan, en-
CINE driver, w. Milne, brakeman, and
two others, names not given. A great
deal Of complaint is made against the
Canadians, by those who were unfortun
ate enough to have been on the tram, on
account of inhospitality. The women
and children were compelled to remain
on tie track, for several hours in the flu
rious storm Of snow and Lail, several OF
them destitute of shoes, stockings and
bonn.ts. But liule attention was paid to
them, after reaching Hamilton. by the
railroad employees, who absolutely re-
fused to allow Tie sufferers access to their
baggage. and they had to ride to Sus-
pension Bridge before they got an oppol-
tunily to change their clothes.
We notice special mention made Of a
Mrs. GEARE, who, together with several
other ladies'. suffered the loss Of shoes,
and bouEets and money, and vas COM

same time for Cincinnati We are happy
TO note, however, that Mrs GEARE re-

The contract for carrying the mail
from Leavenworth to Corayile, Pike :
Peak region, was made under the act Of
1925, authorizing the establishment o.
special post offices, to be sustained from
their nett proceeds, and such is the ar
in this case that the compen-
sation in no event is TO exceed $1,000
per annum. If the post route bill had
passed and the contract made under il
this service would have cost some $50,
900 or $4,000 per year. The contrac

outlay in the carrying of passengers.
