A LARGE and enthusiastic German
mass meeting was held at Saint Paul
last Saturday evening by the Germans
Of Minnesota, expressing sympathy with
fatherland in the war declared upon her
by France. Speeches we're made and
songs sung, and resolutions of sympathy
of the Germans of Minnesota for Ger
many were adopted. A subscription was
set on foot to raise money for wounded
soldiers and orphans, and before the
meeting closed $735 was raised, which
will be increased to several thousand in
few days. A cable telegram was sent
to Count Bismarck, reading as follows
1.-THE Germans of Minnesota, in mass
meeting assembled, extend to you their
heartfelt sympathy and material aid.
Give US united Germany"

SENATOR MORTON recently made an
elaborate speech at Terre Haute. upon
the prospects of the approaching political
campaign. He took a cheerful view of
the Republican situation, and predicted
that the people would indorse Congress.
He cited the fact that the internal reve-
nue. receipts have increased $50, 100000,
and the customs $4,000, 900 since Gen.
Grant Inauguration, over the previous
sixteen months. Our expenses have been
lessened $5O,OOO.OOO the debt reduced
Sl46, 900, 900, and the taxes reduced $780,
100000 All these things, the Senator
thinks, will commend the Republican
party to the people, and enable it to hold
its ground.

FALL BARLEY.

A Kentucky correspondent of the Gin
cinati Gazette gives his experience with
fall sowing of barley as follows:
have tried the experiment. of sowing
barley in corn and have learned that had /
soldthe seed and let the ground lain idle !
would have been considerably the gamer
by 50 doing.
have no idea that the plan viii do.
would advise no farmer to try it. Bar
ley will do well on good dry stubble land
if well prepared and well put in. All
grain does best put in with the drill. b.
From the LIST to the Goth of September
is very favorable time to SOW barley. !
have never sown later than the goth, and /
rarely fail making a fair average crop.
Farmers differ about the amount of seed
that should be sown to an acre. On good
land think three bushels is not two
much. have seen a fair crop made
from two and half bushels of seed,
when everything was favorable. never
use less than three bushels per acre. Bar
ley winter-kills badly. l think that at
least from one-third to one-fourth of
the seed is usually destroyed. A fair sY-
erage crop ought to be thirty to thirty
five bushels per acre. L have often seen
fifty bushels grown. My experience is
that one acre of barley pays about as
much as one and a half to two acres of
wheat -. ....H

STORING HAY.

Hay should be stored and managed
much as the Chinese manage their tea.
When ready for storage, it should be kept
as closely from the air as possible. If
it could be Theoretically sealed up, no
fermentation or decay could take place.
Air is the great destroyer of dead organic
matter, as it is the great agent in giving
vitality to matter which has life. 1t is
ever busy in decomposing that it may
have material wherewith to recompose,
and if we can keep air away from grass,
it will be preserved from decay just as pie
plant, peaches, etc, are preserved when
canned. The hay in the middle of q
large NOW Is to all intents and purposes
Theoretically sealed-that is, no all pene-
trates to it-and this hay will be found
with its natural strength undated. Its
aroma will be like that of green tea and
cattle feeding upon it viii be strengthened
and exhilarated.
This leads us to say that there is a GER
tain principle in hay analogous TO-, if not
identical with, the theme of tea, which is
volatile, and therefore wastes when hay is
dried too much or is moved after it has
been stored in the NOW. This principle,
which we call theme for the want of a
better, exerts the same influence on the
animal economy as tea does upon man; it
strengthens, exhilarates, and prevents the
waste of animal tissue We feel this ex-
hilarating and Strengthening effect while
we are working in the hay, for it is pat
ent to the most common observer that no.
where does he feel his muscle so braced
up to work as when in the hay field, or
pitching off load of hay. Ii abounds
most when the grass is IN bloom, and at
this time grass should be cut, and dried
with as little exposure to sunshine and
rain as possible. The sun evaporates it,
rain soaks it out. When ready for stor-
age, it should be put in large and tight
bays, and the closer it is compressed the
better, and when the hay is fed out, the
mOws should be cut down so as to expose
as little surface to the air as possible.
Every one knows that hay moved from
one barn to another does not spend well.
The reason is that the theme evaporates
in the transportation Tea can not be
moved from one chest to another without
losing some of its virtue, and the not un-
common practice of throwing upon the
barn floor over night the hay which is to
be fed out in the morning, is as foolish as
it would be for the housewife to take out
at one meal from the tea caddy the allow
ance for the next drawing. Much of the
aroma goes into the thin air. The hay
crop is too precious to be thus wasted

WATER MICH cows OFTEN.

There are no animals about the place
that require so much attention in the
matter of being provided with water as
the dairy COWS. On the large dairy farms,
where the production of milk is a special
ty, there is seldom want of proper care
in this respect, since falling off in the
yield of milk as it is delivered at the fac
tory or railroad station, will soon lead the
owners of cows to investigate the cause
of the deficit, which too often he will
find in the bad condition of the water his
COWS have to drink, or in the insufficient
quantity of it. But with the ordinary
farmer, who only keeps cows enough to
supply his family with milk, butter and
cheese, or who may be only able to sell
small surplus of dairy products now and
then, the case is different. In the busy
seasons of haying and harvest, when the

In the Annual Register of KwaL
Affairs for 1859, published, by Luther
Tuckner & Son, Albany, N. Y, and ed
tied by that well known agriculturist) ].
]. Thomas, we find record of an inter
esting series of experiments in wheat
sowing, of which the following are the
results: Planted half inch deep, the
plants came up in five days; planted one
inch deep, the plants came up in six days;
planted two inches deep, the plants came
up in seven days; planted three inches
deep, the plants came up in eight days;
planted four inches deep, the plants came
up in ten days; planted six inches deep,
the plants came up in twelve days. ~
Five weeks afterwards, there was no
perceptible difference in that planted half
an inch and an inch deep; that planted
two inches deep was not quite so good,
30 on decreasing in quality as the depth
of planting increased. AS the crop ap-
proaches maturity, the difference between
the shallow and deep planting becomes
less obvious-so that one inch and three
inch planting are not greatly different in
their results, although the deeper planting
is a little later in ripening, and is hardly
SO productive. For this reason wheat
planted with good drill on well prepared
and rolled ground, where it may be put
in with great evenness, ripens more uni
formly, and brings rather better return
than wheat sown broadcast and covered
with harrow at all different depths. For
the same reason twenty-five per cent. in
seed is saved by using the drill. That is,
bushel and half per acre will answer
the same purpose, if properly drilled in,
as two bushels sown broadcast and har-
rowed. In light loose soil, the depth
may be greater than in one more heavy
and compact. A greater depth is re-
quired during time of severe drouth
than when the soil has good supply of
moisture. As general average, depth
of two inches is enough. One inch would
be better if the soil were sufficiently
moist; but it is difficult to get drill so
as to deposit the seed uniformly so shall
