In harmony with the conditions. of the

Our, readers. will be relieved to learn
that the. terrible famine with which Persia
has been afflicted is. il its last stages,
that the crops are magnificent and water
abundant. This famine has been attend
ed with horrors unsurpassed in the re-
cords of history or in similar vlsitations
within the memory of man. The grotesque
Indifference Of the Shah to the sufferings
Of his subjects made the niiseries of the
latter more apparent. While the people
were clamoring for bread and devouring
each other for want of it, the sovereign
went on hunting excursions. riding a
horse which had been presented to him
and attended by an army which, of
course, had to be supported from the
public stores. When the populace be-
came dangerously mutinous, they had
thrown to them baker or two, whom
they roasted in the public ovens, while
the Shah and his cabinet; to whose
neglect and want Of foresight the famine
was in part attributable, kept themse Ives
out Of harms way.

: When Wheat Should be Cut.

There has been some diversity of opin-
ion as to the best tim to cut wheat, iudg-
ing from the common practice of farmers.
II is generally cut when dead ripe, or
when the grain has become hard. This,
says the Germantown Telegraph, is no
doubt an error, and one of more impor.
lance than many suppose It should be
remembered that wheat is composed Of
gluten. starch and bran. Gluten is the
nourishing quality of the grain, makes
the -four stick together in the hands of
the baker, and gives weight to the grain
land there is the greatest guam tity of
gluten in the grain just when the straw
ID yellow two or three joints from the
ground. the head turns downward and you
can mash 0 grain between your thumb
and finger without producing any milk.
It may therefore be set down as an in
disputable truth that every day the wheat
stands after this stage of its ripeness, the
gluten decreases in. quantity and the
bran increases in thickness.
2 Small grain, such as oats, rye, barley,
wheat, etc. will soon be ripe and ready
for the cradle and the sick lie. 1t should
be carefully cut, cured and housed, when
the grain; is in the dough state, not
allowing it to become dead ripe" as at
this stage the loss by "scatterinff og" is
much greater. This remark applies
particularly to the grain intended for
feed. II you desire to save it for seed,
let it get as ripe as possible before cut
ting. - .il

MONTGOMERY BLAIR ON THE
STU ALTON.
A BLUNT LETTER WITH MORE
TRUTH THAN POETRY
IN 1T.

Montgomery Blair has written the fol-
lowing letter on the Cincinnati convention,
and the future course of the democratic
party. 1t is addressed to u prominent
democrat in Baltimore;
Washington, May 9Th, 1872
We will have to take Greeley or
Grant, and we will take Greeley, reluc-
family, of course, but not the less GER
tainly. And he will be the more certain,
of election. because the democrats do not
wish to embrace at first. AS for their run
hing n candidate of their own, that would
be both disastrous and disgraceful. They
all give in their adhesion to the Cncin-
natl convention, and tho most obstreper-
Gus of Greeleys opponents had their cam
didate before that convention. Mr.. Noor-
hees, for example, was loud in his advocacy
Of Judge Davis; and the World
was earnest in pressing Adams.
Now there certainly can be
DO no greater departure from principle in
supporting Greeley than there would be
in supporting Davis or Adams, or any
other radical. There can be- in fact, no
motive assigned for the support of one of
these men and the refusal to support
| either Of the Others but nero personal
preference. This is not craftsmanship it
is mere caprice, if not something worse,
which man can indulge in without the loss
of public confidence. For nv own part,
| go for the movement initiated at Cincn-
natl to arrest tho further progress Of rad
icalsm. 1t is the only practical way of
arrcsting. AS for running in u straigh.
democratic ticket between Greeley and
Grant, that is dodge that will not be al
lowed to succeed. That can ne done only
In tie small field of local politics,
where the contest between the real
aspirants is personal, and has be-
come embittered. But the contest between
the Republican and Democratic parties
has always been sectional contest one
party representing the North and tho
other the South and whenever the con-
test returns To that character the Republic
can success is assured by the census. 1t is
only by dividing tho numerous North and
allying itself with the moro liberal divi-
sion, that the Democracy representing the
South can hope for the recovery OF the
right Of self-government for it's section.
The moment that the Democracy shall
set up for itself, the Nortl. will close its
ranks again and the only effect would be
to sacrifice the leaders in the liberal party
who had attempted TO help VA. This would
disgrace US, and so help to defeat US, not
only now but hereafter.
OF course there will be some honest
Democrats who will not regard tho subject
in this light, and who will prefer to stand
by their guns, etc.; but tho noisest fellows
will be those who arc in the pay
