Gratitude of the British Government
The Springfield { Mass.) Repub1ica,

The Springfield Mass.) Republican
observes:
"Not many years since, they { the
British Govcrnment) We're manufacture
ing muskets by hand labor, and knew
Of no other way. They learnt through
their agent who visited the CRYSTAL
Palace at New York, and made visit
to Springfield, that we had invented
machinery for manufacturing arms, and
actually made them 50 that their parts
would interchange. WheA THIS was
communicated to Parliament it was
treated as an absurdity. Tne POSSIBLE
ity Of making the irregular parts Of a
gun by machinery was denied; and it
was not without fierce opposition that
a small sum was appropriated for max
ing further inquiry. Commissioners
were appointed who came to Spring.
field while Gen. Ripley was superin-
tendent. BY the consent OF our GOV
ernmcnt, he allowed them to inspect
the machinery; and they were able to
send home 4 report that the wonderful
accounts which they had received were
true. They were then permitted to
make contracts with the Ancs compa-
ny at Chicopee, aud other establish
nentS, for the manufacture OF similar
machinery, and to take drawings and
models from the armory.
Similar machinery did not exist else
where in the world, and without this
kindness Of our government, they would
to this day have been making muskets
by hand. Much Of the machinery has
been invented in Springfield, and was
very complicated, and could not have
been made without aid from our gov
eminent. When the machinery was
made, they were allowed to hire from
the armory such men as they chose, to
go to England and set up the machin-
cry and superintend its operation.-
Some Of these men are there now. At
their new arsenal at Enfield Locks,
they are said to be making two hun
dred thousand muskets a year. For
this they are indebted to our kindness.
They now repay this kindness by for
bidding the export of arms, saltpetre
and lead to this country, aud by seiz-
ing all they can find in the hands Of
our merchants, although it has been
bought Of their people and paid for.

COFFEE GROWING IN ILLINOIS,
The resources of our State appear to
be without limit. Not only are we
producing our own Syrup and Sugar,
and are likely to produce orr own
Cotton, but it has been demonstrated
to q certainty, that Coffee can be
grown III Illinois.
Mr.. George II. Hoffman, of Efing-
ham county, last year raised taco BUSH
els Of Coffee, nearly identical with the
Rio coffee. His seed was sent to him
three years ago from Australia. 1t is
unproductive the first year, bearing a
little the second year, and is most
productive the third season. At his
estimate, thirty bushels can be groacn
per acre. This plant has every APP
pearance Of hardness and adaptabiitv
to Illinois soil. Many farmers in Mr..
Ioffman's vicinity will plant it the
coming season.
The Southern rebellion may be the
means Of pioving to the world that the
West is capable of supplying the coun
try with all its needs in the way Of the
substantiaIS, as we'll as the condiments
and luxurics of life Chicago Jour-

from the Wisconsin Farmer.
Drilling in Grain and Grain Drills.

We promised a short chapter on this
highly important subject in the No
vember number Of the Farmer, and
while we may not hope to interest,
much less instruct, many even more
experienced than ourselves; still we
think the great mass may give the sub
.ject some further attention and to their
profit.
The practice Of drill sowing, may
truthfully be claimed to be as old rs
good English farming, and after hum
dred years OF experience under all
circumstances, has constantly grown
in favor; until few or no good farmers,
broadcast now in any country, except
in the New West; where, IS yet, with
too many at least, the object seems
more TO see how many acres he can
run over instead Of how many can be
we'll cultivated. But even here this
loose system is rapidly passing away,
and Joy 90 with it.
Probably more new drills were
bought in the west, and especially in
Wisconsin, last season, than were in
the state previously all pat together
And during our extensive travels
among the best farmers and farming
districts last season, we scarcely met
with q locality where they were not
rapidly coming into favor.
Most farmers claim that every so
acres Of wheat sowed will annually pay
for good drill. They talk as follows:
First, it saves one half bushel Of seed
wheat to the acre, invariably, which
ON so acres would be 25 bushels
Which at so cents per bushel Glow fol
seed wheAt) is $40. Next it saves
one fourth Of the labor Of putting in
as a team viii put in from Is to le
acres per day with a good drill, as en-
sy as they will 10 to II with n drag
besides saving the expense of sowing
Thus so acres can be put i'll for s. tc
So less than with y drag, aud broad
cast
Next, it will AID at least two bush
els per acre to the crop, taken as ar
average all through the state. Thus
100 bushels Of wheat AT s. cents, Cir
the straw is $50. Which add to the
preceding 525, and we have $9O-the
full price Of the best drill that is sold
All bought, paid for, and saved the
first season, by any so acre wheat farm
(wherc stumpS are not too plenty)
DRILL SOWING
Can be done just as well and evenly il
windy weather 80 when still j; grea
dessideratun, surely, in the west, as i
tends to enable much earlier sowing
rs we'll IS much more even and better
work.
DRILL SOWED GRAIN
Grows much more evenly, for the rca
son that it is planted at more even
depth. 1t not only grows more ever
and uniform, but it grows larger ano
heavier, especially upon uplands, be
cause deeper planted and hence more
moist during our usually dry western
summers.
Thus altogether, and for nearly ev
cry good and substantial reason tina
can be adduced, drill sowing is decd
cdIy preferable to the old scattering
system of broad casting. We are
aware that some differ with us in opin
ion upon the entire question but We
are also aware that there are abOu
the same number who believe in sick
les, cradles and scythes, instead o
reapcrs and mowers; and that whea
turns to chess and horse hairs, &c.
&c Yet this necessary remnant o
old fogies do not stop, but only tri2
