Farmers Club.

1t gives us great pleasure to know that
In our county Farmers Club" has been
formed. 1t organized at Sweet Air, in the
10th district, on the 18th instant, by elect
ing Nicholas T. Hutchins, President; John
5. Baldwin, Vice President; Samuel M.
Rankin, Secretary; Edwin Jessop, Treasu-
rer. They are to meet at the house Teach
member in rotation, on the first Wednes-
day of every month, where they are to take
dinner and examine the farming, crops,
implements, &C., of that member.
The first meeting is to be held at the
house of the president, on Wednesday,
March I'd. Mr.. Hutchins is an excellent
farmer and owns one of the best farms in
the county. His place contains over four
hundred acres of land, is rolling enough
to give it proper drainage without wash
ing, is well fenced and well watered Its
fences are clear of brush and briers, and
kept in excellent repair. His buildings
are ample, comfortable and neat. Every
thing about the premises presents and ap-
pearance of order, care, thrift and economy
in farming that at once attracts the atten-
ton of one taking pride in such matters,
and that reflects credit upon him who man
ages the affair.
A Farmers Club is something that has
been much needed, and we have no doubt
that this organization will be fruitful of
good results to our farming interests
Each can have the benefit ofth experience
of all. All questions relative to farming
can be discussed, and the good or bad in
them thoroughly ventilated.-Balto. Co.,.

"AlKAKANGA"

A correspondent Of the Chicago Tribune
gives the following comical account Of
some recent occurrence in the committee Of
Ways and Means:
"Here is an instance of the wisdom of
this right noble committee.
"For several years there has appeared on
the tariff list an article called alkakange
and by the name it was supposed to be some
powerful drug, and to it was uniformly at
tached a high duty. Many times, when
the puissant committee reached this word,
it was suggested to reduce the duty, but
straightway the high-tariff committeeman
rose to their feet and denounced any at
tempt to interfere with the protection OF
this valuable article.
"Redeuce the duty on alkakange ?. said
Mr.. Kelley, 'and it is thus that the wages Of

Legend Of the Cherokee Rose,

The legend of the Cherokee Rose, says
an exchange, lisa pretty as the flower itself.
An Indian chief Of the Seminole tribe,
taken prisoner of war by his enemies, the
Cherokees, and doomed to torture, fell so
seriously i'll that it became necessary to
wait for his restoration to health before
committing him to the fire; and as he lay
Frustrated by disease in the cabin of the
Cherokee warrior, the daughter of the lat
ter, young dark faced maid, was the nurse.
She fell in love with the young chiettain
and wishing to save his lite urged him to
escape, but he would not do so unless she
would flee with him. She consented, yet
before they had gone far, impelled by soft
regret at leaving home, she asked leave of
her lover to return for the purpose of bear
ing away some memento Of it. So retrac-
ing her footsteps she broke sprig of the
white rose which was climbing up the
poles of her fathers tent, and preserving it
during her flight through the wilderness,
planted it at the door of her new home
among the Seminoles; and from that day
this beautiful flower has always been
known between the Capes of Florida and
throughout the Southern States by the
name of the Cherokee Rose.

NORWAY OATS.
The New York Tribune, in an article upor
this wonderful cereal, says:

The New York Tribune in an article upon
this wonderful cereal, says
1t has for some time been apparent, that
either gigantic deception was being prac-
tlced on the farmers of the country, in the
sale OF the so-called Norway Oats, or that
nature had given birth TO new and superior
variety of this cereal, destined to reward
more abundantly the labors of the husband
man, and add to the wealth of the Republic.
Believing that we could not confer upon
the agricultural community greater favor
than by ascertaining the facts about the pro.
auctlon OF this grain, we requested Ramsdell
q Co., OF No. 218 Pearl street, of this CITY.
the discoveries and introducers of the new
oat, to furnish us with the original letters
from the farmers in the different parts of the
country, who have grown them during the
past year, request which was cheer
FULLY complied with. After some weeks of
careful examination of this voluminous cor
respondence, we have made an abstract,
which presents the essential facts stated by
the writers. We have satisfied ourselves of
tho gcnuineness of these letters. They are
from farmers residing in every part of the
United States.
by adding up the results in many hundred
cases where the rate per acre was distinctly
stated, we have found the average to be sew
enty-eight bushels. (The average yield of
the ordinary oat during the past five years,
as estimated by the Commissioner of Agri-
culture, is from 30 to 80 bushels per acre.
An examination of the correspondence from
which this table is prepared, goes to show
that The straw Of this variety is more
nutritious than common oat straw, and we
recommend it as valuable addition to what
cattle
The Tribune also publishes the names and
addresses of large number of persons who
raised the Norway Oats last year, from which
it appears that in one instance the enormous
quantity of 750 bushels were raised upon
five acres, or at the rate of150 bushels per acre.
In every case the yield was far in excess of
the largest from ordinary varieties.

Here the high tariff folks exhibited in
dications Of collapse.
SAT last they raked out of the gulf of the
government printing office an ancient proof
reader, and asked him to account for

HE put on three pairs of spectacles and
a green shade over his eyes, and took up
the printed list .
"Welr he said, this beats natur and

dentally spelled out the word "alkak-
ange." l 'spose that you've bin laying
big duties on"alkakange" ever since p
"The old proof-reader put his hands on
bis hips, took off his spectacles, and laid
down on the floor of the Ways and Means
committee, and laughed and rolled for the
space Of three-quarters of an hour. BY the
time he got up Kelley had been round to
the government printing office and got
him discharged.
GA special meeting of the committee was
at once called, and Mr.. Mccarthy rose:
"Imove ye, sur, that the Article known
as ''alkakange" be put upon the fraa

A PUzzLE.-Here is a question for young
arithmeticians, and others who like to
crack an arithmetical nut now and then,
to try their wits upon. Two Arabs sat
down to dinner and were accosted by a
stranger who requested to join their party,
saying, that he could not get provisions to
buy in that part of the country if they
would admit him to eat an equal share
with themselves he would be willing to
pay them the whole" The frugal meal
consisted of eight small loaves of bread,
five of which belonged to one of the Arabs
and three to the other. The stranger hay
ing eaten third part of the eight loaves,
arose and laid before them eight pieces of
money, saying "My friends, there is what
l promised, divide it between you accord
ing to your rights" A little dispute arose
respecting division of the money; but
reference being made to the Cadi, he adj
judged seven pieces to the owner of the
five loaves and only one piece to him who
owned the three loaves. Yet the Cadi
decided Justly.

HWe do not know whether anybody
has or has not printed the story which re-
lates how certain genial bald-headed
gentleman, while in Paris one day, went
to the Geological Gardens The weather
was warm, and he lay down on bench.
Presently he fell asleep, and he was arous-
ed by strange feeling of warmth on the
head. An infatuated ostrich had come
along, and, mistaking his entirely bald head
for an egg, settled down with resolute
determination to hatch it, or sit there for
ever. Our friend yelled for help until a
keeper came and led that disappointed and
regretful ostrich away to its cage.

CORN SONG.

CORN SONG.
ny JOHN G. WHITTIER.
Heap high the farmers board
Heap high the golden cornl
NO richer gift has autumn poured
From out her lavish horn
Let other lands exulting CLEAN
The apple from the pine,
The orange from its glossy green,
The cluster from the vine.
We better love the rugged gift
Our rugged wales bestow,
10 cheer us when the storm shall drift
Our harvest fields with snow
Through wales of grass, and needs of flowers,
Our plows their burrows made,
While on the hills the sun and showers
Of changeful April played.
We dropped the seed DER hill and plain,
Beneath the sun of May,
And frightened from our sprouting grain
Tho robber crows away
All through the long bright days of June,
Its leaves grew bright and fair,
And waved in hot midsunmer's noon,
Its soft and yellow hair.
And now, with autumn's moonlight eyes,
Its harvest time has come,
We pluck away its forest leaves
And bear the treasure home,
There, richer than the fable gifts,
Apollo showered of old,
Fair hands the broken grains shall shift,
And knead its meal of gold.
Let vapid oilers loll in silk,
Around their costly board;
Give us the bowl offs amp and milk
By homepsun beauty poured.
Where'er the wide old kitchen hearth
Sends up its smoky curs,
Who will not thank the kindly earth,
And bless our farmer girls
Then shame on all the proud and vain,
Whose folly laughs to scorn
The blessing of our hardy grain,
Onr wealth of golden corn.
Let earth withhold her goodly root
Let mildew blight the rye,
Give to the worm the orchards fruit,
The wheat-feld to the fly.
But let the good old crops adoIn
The hills our father trod;
Still let us, for his golden corn
Send up our thanks to God.
