by his brother from Idaho. The grains are
very large and of rich color and the brar
is very thin. One grain of this rye is as
large as any two or three of the ordinary
kind Of rye raised in this country. We dc
: not know that we can make better com.
;, parison between the grain grown here an6
!, the Russian rye than to say that there i.
: as much difference between the two varie
i ties, as there is between the finest specimen
{ of full blooded short horns, and the ole
fashioned breed of cattle.
