The TINE +" SEED-At our late Agri-
cultural meeting, Mr. Morrison sal that
in 1858 be planted potatoes carly, upon
which IL or IA inches of snow fell a few
days afterward. Some weeks later he
planted the same kind IF potatoes in simi-
lar soil. The 6rst planting produced over
4O0 bushels per acre end the. last ou'y
200.
HUNGARIAN GRAss.--Rev'd David L.w.
ry recommended that this seed lie sown
after all the other crops are in, as this not
onlr. gives it ample time to mature, but
will fix the ripening season at time when
the other crops are harvested, thus accun,.
modatins itself to the convenience of the
farmer.
WINTER WnEAT'-In our report of the
Agricultural Meeting, We said that the
few experiments with this cereal had not
been successful in Stcars County. We
now learn that til. remark only applies to
Prairie land, and that upon timber land
the results have been perfectly satisfactory
in nearly every instance. One # our Ger.
man friends raised, past year from three
bushels Of seed, sixty bushels of superior
Wiuter wheat, only six miles back Of St
Cloud :; and he and several VI his neigh
bors, now have very promising crops ot the
same article growing.
Notwithstanding to the en- ire ab-
ecnce Of a spring ccreshet, the steamers
have been unable to reach our landing az
yet. We have some six or eight thousand
bushels Of wheat waiting shipment, in ad-
dition to the large amount going Moth
and West. About six hundred bushels
was shipped from the Lowry Landing BY
Barge, on Tuesday. to !.cssrs Eastman l.
Gibson Of St. Anthony.
PREAcnINa.-A three corncrcd contro-
versy is going on between Rev. Phillips,
regular Baptist, Rev. Miller, Free Will
Baptist and Rev. Bowdish, Methodist,
