Norman Horses.

Sanford Howard, Esq, secretary of
the Michigan Board of Agriculture, In
his annual report says:
s'The Normandy horses of France,
particularly variety known as the Per-
cheron, have long been noted for their
various good qualities. They were usu-
ally from fifteen to sixteoa hands high,
weighing from twelve hundred to thir-
teen hundred pounds, though some of
them reach the weight of fifteen hum
dred pounds. They are hardy, well
adapted to farm work, and have so
much activity that they are used for the
post-ccaches, diligences, OF the country.
Travellers In France have often been
struck with the appearance and perfor-
nance of these horses. The rate of
speed at which they are driven with
very heavy loads is extraordinary. Ten
miles an hour is accomplished by the
diligence teams. This rate of speed is
not always nc ,omplished at trot; but
the postillor, mounted on the near
wheel horse, puts the animals through
under the loud crack of his short whip,
in the allotted time, whatever the gait
in which they choose to go.
The Massachusetts Society for Pro-
noting Agriculture made an importa-
ton in June last of two stations and
three mares of this breed, selected by a
special agent in France. One of the
staIlions-'Conqueror, four years old
is of unusual size for the breed. He
weighed on arrival, fourteen hundred
and seventy pounds; on the 18th of
December, fifteen hundred pounds;
height, sixteen and three-quarter hands.
The other stallion-'Orleans' four
years old-weighed on arrival, twelve
hundred and seventy pounds; on the
10Th of December thirteen hundred and
twenty pounds; height, fifteen and
three-quarter hands. He is horse of
remarkable compactness, with points
indicating great strength and hardness
of constitution, and is a good trotter.
The mares weigh from twelve hundred
to fourteen hundred pounds each.

The Kohl Rabi.

As the cultivation and uses OF this
crop are not generally understood in
this country. we extract the following
passages from a recent letter IN the
Country Gentleman, by an experienced
grower: In order to grow large crop,
the seed should be sowed very early in
the spring, as early as seed-bed can be
prepared for the seed. 1t is best to sow
the seed in drills, so the plants can be
hoed and kept free from weeds till they
get to be or inches high, when they
are ready to be transplanted, the same
cabbage plants; but care must be taken
not to plant them but very little deeper
than they stood in the seed-bed, for the
bulbs form just at the top of the stem
where the leaves branch out, SO this
part must be kept well above che ground
both at planting and when Loeing them
in the summer. If the plants are set III
good, heavy, well-manured soil, and
kept we'll cultivated with the horseshoe
or cultivator through the summer, they
viii produce as largely as rutabagas or
mangolds, and they can be harvested
with very much less labor than any
other root.

SQUASH seeds.-It is difficult to g.

Squash Seeds.-It is difficult to get
perfectly pure squash seeds unless pains
are taken to plant but one kind in the
garden or on the farm. Some of our
finest varieties fail to give satisfaction
because they are mixed with other vari-
cites. They rlay come from a squash
that is pure of itself, and yet the seed
may nottura out well, from some NIX
ture which did not show itself in the
squash from which they are taken. 4 A
Hubbard squash may be pure and the
seed taken from it may prove to have
some mixture with other varieties and
thus produce an impure Hubbard. =
1t is necessary, therefore, to take
great pains 20 produce pure seed, and If
1t is absolutely necessary to plant diff
erent varieties within few hundred feet
of each other; the only way TO secure
the plants from inpregnation by osher
varieties, is to cover the flowers either
by bell glass or By bags of millinet till
the fruit is set The bees are apt to
carry the pollen from one plant TO
another unless this precaution is taken.
The same applies, ofcouse, to melons
and pumpkins. IF they mix with other
varieties they deteriorate, as general
rule, -Plo,cman - -. u 81

Sorghum


The depth to which cane seed should
be planted is governed, like q good
many other things, by circumstances,
condition at the time of planting, fine
ness, moisture, temperature, the condi-
ton of the seed, whether dry or soaked,
the period in the season, whether early
or late, all are to be considered, and the
proper depth to plant is to be determin-
ed by these, measured with the rule of
common sense, and not an instrument
graduated by barley corns and inches.
If theGsoil is fine and damp, and warm,
and is to be pressed down snugly upon
the seed, and if it is not inclined to crust
or bake upon the surface, it is then allow
able to plant shallow-very shallow per
haps; but it the same conditions exist,
except that of dampness, shallow plant
ing is senseless planting; the seed might
just as well be in dry-house. If the
seed is to be planted early, when spring
showers are likely to occur frequently,
and if the ground is damp and cold and
heavy, almost certain to remain
moist for some time on the surface, the

-The famous Suez canal has be-

The famous Suez canal has been
completed, and was opened on the It'll
of April by delegates from the Cham
beers of Commerce of the world. The
canal is seventy-two miles in length
across the Isthmus of Sueg, and con-
meets the Mediterranean and Red Seas.
Its importance may be inferred from
the fact that it shortens the distance
between New York and Bombay seven
thousand five hundred miles. 1t puts
Napoleon militarily in position to OPP
crate on three continents. 1t makes
Africa an island. The London Times,
which has always ridiculed the enter
prise since its inception, predicts that
the attempt to navigate tie canal will
be failure, because 1T is built upon

An IEaportant Rebel Doeument.

The original copy of the ordinance of
secession of the State of Virginia, sign
ed by all that took part in that conven-
ton, has recently found its way to this
city and been siezed by the authorities
and forwarded to Washington. The or
dioance is written in a plain neat hand
and on parchment paper. = Soon after
its passage, however, by the convention
it was handed over to a German printer,
then a resident of Richmond, to be
Autographed, and copies struck off for
distribution. For some causeor other,
the document remained in his hands
until Lieut. General Grantscaptured the
rebel stronghold. e. 80 90
The printer, who claimed to have
been a Union man, came north, and
gave the paper to German friend in
this city, who at one time was a resi-
dent of Richmond, but had left shortly
after the breaking out of the war. The
latter only received the document few
days since, and took great pleasure in
showing it around. The authorities
hearing ofsuch paper being in circula-
ton, and being satisfied as to its genui-
ness, seized it, as stated above. Phil

white Kidney Rean. The White Kid


ney is often called the Kidney, simply,
sometimes the Large White Kidney aud
the Royal Dwarf AS shelled bean,
whether green or ripe, it is unquestiona-
bly, one of the best bush beans, and
ought to be introduced into general cul-
tivation. It is not good for much as a
string bean. This bean is of large size,
pure white, but more or less veineds
kidney shaped, pretty nearly straight,
but slightly fattened.- 1t is three-quar-
tiers of an inch long, and three-eighths Of
an inch thick. A quart of seed will plant
hundred and forty hills, or hundred
and seventy-fve feet of drill
The plant grows about foot and a
half high, with large and broad leaves,
and branches out strongly, with white
flowers. The pods are of somewhat
irregular form, about six inches long,
yellowwhen ripe, and usually Icontain
five beans. AZ arr ara a~ rrs-s
1t is not a very early variety, though
it blossoms in seven we eks after planting,
produces pods In nine weeks and ripens
in about hundred and ten days. 1t
shells easily, and is q tender and deli
cate bean, fit for the table of an alder
man and even that of a farmer. Z
AS we intimated short time since,
we regard the bean as one of the most
profitable and desirable of farm crops
for cultivation. They do well on land
too poor to grow good crop of corn,
and the labor of cultivation is not un-
reasonably great as compared with other
crops. 1t is nutritious and palatable
dish on the table. Mass. Pioacmaa.

REVIEWS OF OUR OWN TIMES.


ssand British volunteer reviews which
occur in the neighborhood of London,
for the benefit of the crown and the
railway companies, we have had only
the entrance of the army of Italy into
Paris, a dazzling and inspiring specta-
Gle, and grand review of the army OF
Victor Emanuel. Every c4r at Cha
Ions, near Paris, they have review Of
the mass of the troops in the French
Emperor's dominions; but no review
held in. Europe since that of the allies
in Paris, In 1915, win attract through
out the world so much attention as that
of the passing day and its corrollary OF
tomorrow. These reviewswill be Illus
trated in the Journals of all foreign
lands, and the descriptions of them
made here, compared with the evidences
afforded by visitors from abroad, thou
sands of whom are in the city. I.
The present review obtains character
from the fact that all its participants
appear fresh from the field of action,
clad In their veteran suits of thread
bare blue, as they have gone ahundred
times in undemonstratiye, sublime
heroism. This was parade of fighting
men in fighting trim, not plumed nor
polished, nor set on hobby-horses, but
In the worn paraphernalia of battle,
with their engines of death all rusty
with mud, and their flags so funeral
that they seem to have been playthings
in the grave rather than fashioned by
the soft fingers OF woman.

reviewed a hundred thousand armed
men, and four hundred thousand spec

Champs de Mars IS only a level plain,
and there were few sites whence the
spectacle could be seen. This was the

THE GREAT ARMY OF RUSSIA IN REVIEW.
When Napoleon collected his tremen-
dous army on the border of Russia, he
resolved that it should pass IN review
before him as it first touched the enc
my's SOIL eng :.
At one N the morning the corps OF
Bavoust broke up and crossed the river,
and shortly after its advanced guard
took possession of Konno. The tent
of the Emperor was placed on an emi-
nence three hundred PAGES IRON tne
bank. and. as the sun rose, he beheid
the resplendent mass slowly descending
70 the bridges. The world had never
seen so magnificent an array as lay pe-
! fore him. horse, foot, and cannon, IN
l+ba finest order and in the highest state
e oo,,i,,ment. necessarily issued from
Itba forest and wound down the paths
which led to the river. The ghtterlng
tof arms, the splendor of the dress, the
loud shouts of the men, as they passed
the imperial station, inspired universal
enthusiasm, and seemed to afford a GER
tain presage of success. The burning
limpatience of the young conscripts;
the calm assurance of the veteran sol.

ger ,officers; the dubious presentiments
| of older Generals, filed every heart
with thrilling emotion. No sinister
presentiments now were visible on the
lcountenance of the Emperor; the JOY
which he felt at the recommencemeni
of the war communicated universal
degree of animation.
| Two hundred thousand men, lnchl-
!.lfg forty thousand horse, OF whom
twelve thousand were cuirassiers, armed
in gIittering steel, passed the river that
day In the presence of the Emperor.
ECould the eve of prophesy have fore
lseen the thin and shattered remains oil
this countless host, which a few months
afterwards, were alone destined TO re-
gain the shore of the Niemen, the change
would have appeared too dreadful foi
any human powers of destruction to
have accomplished. The passage oi
troops continued necessarily during the
oath and 18th, and the cavalry under
Murat, passing Davoust's corps, took
the lead IN the advance. The Viceroy
and Jerome, at the head of their respec-
tive armies, crossed some days after
wards at Pilony and Grodno, the for
mer at the head of seventy, the latter OF
sixty-fiye thousand men.

Some Of our people are still insisting on I'M
porting white laborers to do the farm labor of
the country. We would like to know if it is
the purpose to export the present white popu-
lation. We have many thousand whites i'll
this State, and in fact all throughout the
South, that must work as something, or starve.
Better let those we already have here go to
work first, and then if there is not enough, it
will be time enough to talk about importing
white laborers.
We take the above from the Raleigh Pro-
9reSS Of the 10th.
We were not aware that North Carolina,
had as much population as she needed. We
remember some few years ago, travelling from
Weldon to Wilmington, and we did not sec
over a dozen white men on the whole route.
1t may be they have moved in since We did
hear Of several large emigrant trains passing
about in that State, headed by Sherman and
Schofeld, but, we were told it was only a fly
ing visit they were making. We congratulate
Gov. Holden on presiding over the deetinies Of
so finished State.

The Election.

The election in this city yesterday passed
of quietly, and it will be seen that bnt small
vote was polled. Chandler leads for Congress
by a handsome majority. though not as large
as was anticipated, This may be owing
to the small vote that was cast. His ma
jority in Portsmouth was even more deci-
ded Hurst and Langhorne were chosen for
the House Of Delegates, from Portsmouth. 1t
will be seen that the question of the introduce
ton Of water into this city was carried by q
decided m ajority. But little opposition was
shown to altering the Cd article of the Consti
tuition, permitting Confederate officers to be-
come eligible TO Office in the State. Chand-
ler's majority in Petersburg is over 100
