Governor Chamberlain.

Governor Chamberlain's -etter to
Senator Morton is considered All i'm
portant, contribution to the political
literature Of the day. The Northern
papers comment freely upon it, and
unhesitatingly call upon the National
Administration to support him il the
stand he has taken. There is more
of vehement expression in this letter
than Iany, paper we have ever read
that cmenatcd from the Governors
pen. Whether he thought that the
occasion demanded strong language,
or that Senator Morton should be re-
buked with bitter irony, we DO mol
know. Of one thing, however, We are
certain: Governor Chamberlain is not
too cowardly to admit that the Re
publican party is i'll danger, and in
admit ny it, writes with All unf,lte r
ing hand the names Of those who
placed it in jeopardy. The Governor
defends his course in sharp and telling
sentences. While his letter dispcls
all doubts about his going over to The
Democracy, and sets his record right
in the eyes Of the doubling rhomascs,
it cuts like two edged sword into the
thick carcasses Of those who arc fight
ing him. He shows UP the enemies
of his administration, and exhibits
them in their naked and undisguiscd
deformity-a deformity rcpulsivc to
every instinct Of manhood and honor,
because it makes jest of honesty,
and laughs to scorn the efforts OF IL
brave and resolutc man fighting, al,
most siugle-handed and alone, rs
mean and infamous band ofrobbcrs
as ever scuttlcd ship or cut throat.
The Governor says that the cry of his
selling on: his party IS all CANNON,
gotten up by the enemies ofhoncst
Government to injure him. lie is us
firm in his fealty to his party as he
ever was, and equally as solic,iolls Of
its welfare, only he cannot, end VIII
not, be forced into giving his sanction
to the plans Of Republican corruption
lists. \ ,r5

remarkable letter after awhile. =

growers disagree. The former involves the
leas! Least lsber,bsit there can be no question but but
that transplanting tends to render the plants
stocky. If the seed are sown in bed the
danger is that the plants will grow too thick

that, OH the, whole, we give the preference
TO sowing, in the hill, thinning out early,
and leaving the most vigorous plants to go
on to perfection. The after culture must be

should be run between the, rows. often, and

ABOUT GARBAGE.

we take the following on cabbages from
long article by Alexander Hyde, in the
New York Times: III ssals.s4 as, alTf
For an early common cabbage we like the
early Winningstadt. The heads are solid,
the leaves being twisted together ut the top,
cork-scrcW fashion, The seed also seem to
be so thoroughbred that few plants fail Of
heading For market large head is always
IN ntlemand, and the Flat Dutch, especially
the variety called Stonenason, is best. The
heads being broad, make d fine appearance
and show for all they are worth. Tested by
weight they are not SO superior to the Win
ningstadt as they appear to be. They are,
and for stock. The Marblehead is still larger,
but requires the bestof soil and culture to
perfect its mammoth head. 1t is of no use
to try to raise cabbages ON poor soil. They
require good strong clay loan and plenty OF
manure. Never plant cabbages for two
years in succession on the same lantl. For
fertilizers use a variety. Barn-yard manure
is the best if only one Kind is used, but ia
compost OF barn-yard manure with night
soil, ashes and salt, is better than any single
fertilizer. When the plants first start they
are apt to be eaten by a little black beetle.

to stimulate the growth Of the plant, dust
the leaves with SCOT or plaster. There is no
danger of overfeeding cabbages with an
ordinary manure. Salt is excellent for them,

CULTURE OF BARLEY,

There is perhaps no grain cultivated in
the United States that pays better for care
bestowed upon it, nor one that pays more
indiferently for common culture than barley.
II may also be said with perfect truth that
there are none of our cereals the true con-
ditions of culture of which SO little is known
by the average farmer. o,ls,# l.sgt 81,
y Barley is especially tender, and also deli
cate in its early growth. Il is also very
sensitive TO the effects of wet soil, or one
liable to become soaked, and to hold water.
1t therefore cannot be successfully grown on
stiff, heavy, wet soils. or those that are cold
and tenacious In their texture. The value
i'll barley consists in it's possessing thin
skin or hull and in being plump and bright
when ready tor market. Our light, dry,
rich loans undoubtedly produce the best
qualities cf barley. Our hazel brush lands
also produce good barley. Poor loans and
sand,;if warm and dry, with the addition of
agood coat offmanure to the previous crop,
also give barley of n superior quality. 4 ZIG
lin the West we have comparatively little
soil capable OF producing the very finest
qualities OF barley, even ii our seasons were
just suited to it, which they are not. They
areapt to he too hot and dry to produce the
best results. Nevertheless, with our slight
disabilities of soil and climate, good crops
Of barley may be raised OH any of Our prai-
rie loans that are dry--in fact, OH any we'll
drained soil capable of producing good crops
of corn ;iand it is after this crop that barley
should be sown in the West. tR-
1Itis sufficiently well known that barley
must have a mellow soil, and one that has
been brought into fine surface tilth, and
that the best results areFeachcd upon spring
plUwings; hut the land must not in any
event be plowed when wet, nor indeed when
the soil will not break fine and friable, and
without Jumps from the plowshare. Unlike
wheat, it Is not the earliest soWn that as q
rule produces best. but that sown at a time
when the soil can be brought into the finest
state OF filth, and after the hard frosts Of
spring have pretty much disappeared. Spring
wheat should be sown on fall plowing, and
aslsoon in the spring MS the soil can be prop
crly worked with the drill or harrow. Not
SO barley. 1t is too tender, and would inev-
itably be killed. by this we do not mean
to say chat barley does badly ON fall plow-
ing. The reverse is true; but the land in
this case should be worked in the spring to
the depth Of four inches, before seeding, to
loosen and mellow the surface; and it should
besown on clean land, and never immedi-
sltely succeeding wheat, oats, iorryel Pota.
toes are undoubtedly the best of our fallow
crops to precede barley. But CORN is not
only the staple, but also the great falloM
crop Of the west, and most excellent one
upon which to fallow with barley. tgt
Allowing, therefore, that you have lane
that may be put in proper condition. aftel
theEs season tor sowing oats, barley may b,
sown, at the rate of three bushels per acr,
