by the use of chloride of lime aud copperas, much
time may be saved in the geFmiaatlon Of corn. Ia
his office, Dr. c. had four boxes. in one OF which
the Germ was planted without soaking, and the seed
had not germinated; in the second, the seed was
soaked n warm water and bad just commenced TO
serminate; in the third, the seed Bas soaked IN q
solution Of lime, and the grsea blades were Just
peeping from the ground in the fourth, tina seed
was soaked in a solution OF chloride Of lime aud
eopperas, equal parts. and the blades were nearly
three inches above the ground All tia needs were
taken from the same ear, were planted at the same
time, in the same quality OF soil aud had an equal
share of Light and heat. The coppeFas viii keep

ENFORCE THE BIRD Law S.-The LegisIa-

laws for the protection of animals, birds, and isb

are strictly enforced as far as pertains to birds
Scientific men Of high authority very generally
agree that the alarming increase of destructive Ia
sects, which cause the loss of so much grain and
fruit, is mainly in consequence of the wholesale
slaughter Of their naturzl enemies the birds that
had previously kept them in due bounds. Let
every caltvator post conspicuous notices upon his
farm, forbddiug all persons TO enter the fields with
gun. under penalty for trespass. This may be
done, and the offenders punished, where no game
laws exist. Let every bird murderer be deaIs with

Sorghum Hints on lis Culture.

TO tie EdGlor Of Tie -fmegleaa -8gricuLHriaE.
Permit me to make q few suggestions to those
who purpose cultivating the sorgho paEt the CON-
ing season. There appears to be great many
varieties Of seed in she country, and great many
Of them worthless. I do not know them by their
names The only way TO secure good v2riety IL
70 procure seed of some one who has had good
Yield Of sugar and molasses from his cane. I
helisve that the people Of America have been hmm
bugsed Eaoss AssfEHy by the intraduetiau Of the,
Wrong varieties, and that most If net all the good
seed cane originally through your offica.
The seed must be matured 10 grow weh. Pre-
pare it for planting by soaking it, say in a weak
solution Of eqaal parts ef chloride of lime and
coPPeras, if practicable. Prepare tbs ground well,
and mark cut with chin instead Of plow The
gern Of the seed should bs just visible. . Ihtle
q our should be mixed with Il willis wet 10 prevent
sticking together and enable yoa to see it readily
in covering For planting with machine, the seed
mGst be dry sprouted seed should be covered
about Of inch-Iess would he sufficient if the
weather is moist and warm. One Of the varieties
Of the Imphee I hare found more readily con-
veTtible into sugar than the sorgho. This nay be
planted tbs middle OF May. but the sorgho should
be planted just soon the ground il dry enough,
certainly not later than the 6rst Of Hay.
Do not let the weeds get the start. Keen the
ground well titled and clean until il July, or until
the cane joints, The cane should be got further
along before Eid- summer than is usual Fer tbis
purpose, some Of my friends plant ia hot-beds AMI
transplant, and with good succeas-the labor O.
transpla1ting not being great as the frst bein4
out Of the sorghum from among thslAEeads.
A good time to cut cane Is Ehea the top ef fssa
seed panicle has rpened bat il sloaid by aIl means
be cut before frost Let it BE- shocked upon some
thing that viii raise it from ths ground, and net i
TOO large shocks; let It have air. Grind and
eTaporate as FIST as cut, VIXEN possible, and shis
May he done if frost holds OF.
Be sure to have an evaporator of sufncien. ca
Taeity Great mistakes hare been made by a
@hoie neighborhood depending npon one machine
-wkI!e the cane has waited for its turn, il has
mokIed or soured, and the syrup made from it,
brought discredit upon tae whole sargha expert
ment- And willie upon evapSzatoFs, lat me say
that herein lies the great secret of success. I
know Of but one adaptea the business, cut Of
neaily dozen have tried. and taat is Cooks
aBaby Rocker" as 1t is jocesefJ called. I never
could msske sugar in kettles, but with Cooks ma

The Democrats of Indiana, in several Dis
triets, have held mass meetings at which
resolutions were adopted denouncing the
Administration in unmeasured terms, and
doing all in their power TO embarrass it in
the prosecution of this war. The Demo-
cracy of New England and New York with
the exception of the Breckenridge Clique
have sustained the Administration in all its
efforts to crush rebellion The following
from the Boston Post, one of the Oldest De-
mocratic papers in the country ana the organ
Of the party in the East, is commended 70

much we may differ from him IN some of
the details of his labor, it IS our duty 10 ar
IDENTIFY support the principal measures taken
by the Government 10 suppress the rebellion.
We may suggest and advise-detect and
expose errors and frsuds-but We conceive
it the first obligation Of every patriotie citi--
zen to do all in his power to nerve the arm
of the Administration in its struggle To
sustain the Union and the observance of its
laws. It appears to be the general impress
sion, without reference to party prejudice,
that two or three changes could advantage
ously be made in the Cabinet; but if these
cannot be effected, we must do IS well as
We can with the material at hand, and abate

bring the present contest to a successful and
speedy conclusion. To speak plainly ana
boldly OF evident mistakes and abuses, will

should apate nothing in our exertion to af-
ford every attribute of power the official
authorities Of the Nation are capable OF ex-
