give you, as promised, some account
Of my management Of soiling crops. My
herd numbers about thirty head, milking.
The last Of August or first Of September
broadcast two bushels Of rye on one acre
Of ground, and Eve bushels Of wheat on
two acres,-the land being rich and well
prepared, and as convenient to the stable
as possible. As early in the spring as the
season viii allow put in three acres Of
oats, sowing four bushels to the acre.
By the time half the rye i fed the wheat
Is ready TO commence on. Ink hay with
the rye at first, to an extent that will pre-
vent securing, which the sudden change
from winter to all green feed will produce.
As soon as begin cutting the wheat, the
rye that is left Is made into hay, and the
ground prepared and nowed TO corn, two
and a half to three bushels to the acre,
broadcast. am now satisfied, however,
having tested it last year, that better re-
suits are obtained by sowing the corn in
drills, two and half or three feet apart,
cultivating first with the Thomas harrow
and then twice working with cultivator.
The wheat l cut twice, and have cut
three times. The wheat left is made into
hay, and the wheat ground put into sowed
corn. The oats were then fed until the
corn on the rye ground was ready for feed
ing. have sometimes had to feed few
days on clover between oats and the first
corn, but usually have good lot of oats to
make into hay.
From SIX acres, as above, besides that
fed to thirty mich cows, / feed six horses

Conn ntie T-in-Chief.
The headquarters of the army will to-day be
transferred from Washington to ST. Louis. This
change is in accordance with General Shermans
request, and is approved by orders issued through
the War Department by the President, who di-
rects that the present functions OF the General Of
the Army and those in relation to the transaction
of business with the War Department and its bu-
reaus VIII continue III force. This transaction,
though not without a parallel in the military his
tory OF the country, is one of which the country
was some months ago advised but IL Is, neverthe
less, entitled to some fuller remarks and explana.
tons than 1t has heretofore received. General
Sherman retires from the seat OF government sim.
ply Tor the reason that the Secretary OF War mas
taken out of his hands almost every particle of
authority that appertamed or years to the
Commanding General OF the Army, and lett
him with hardly the slightest semblance
OF authority in the administration OF the military
establishment. Consequently his position at
Washington became irksome and sherman has
frankly and in the most pubic manner stated as
much. General Grant, after the war, as will be
seen, felt IN the same manner and communicat ted
his views to Secretary stanton; but General
Grant, according to the orders referred to above,
directs the continuance OF II si stem which General
Sherman Dpds Inconsistent with MS dignity and
which is properly due To the high position he
occupies 70 remain mere fgurehead at the
capital. II is the custom In ali countries main-
tanning standing armies or the GeneraLin.C Chief
to reside at the seat Of government. The reasons
Tor 1t are apparent. The same was the case with
Washington, st. CLAIR, Wayne, Dearborn, Brown,
Macomb and Grant when not engaged in active
operations in the feli Brown and Macomb both
died at Washington; Scott lOr o time had his
headquarters n New York IN consequence Of
differences existing between him and w. l.. Marcy
and Jefferson Davis, while the latter was Secre.
.ary OF War, and 1t was in consequence OF these
iifhcuities which resulted in stripping Scott OF
considerable OF the authority allowed to him by
law ana regulations tnat condition OF affairs was
created that has led TO Sherman retiring to ST.
Inns.
