Drill Sowing Wheat.

Every years experience is in favor
Of drilling wheat. It shows more and
more that, as against sowing the seed
broadcast, and gives = better crop.
The difference in labor is at least 81, 90
an acre, or the cost Of two hssrowings
after sowing, or ono cultiyafiag The
difference in seed is At least half 4
bushel, or so cts. to $1,0O an acre;
and the difference in the crop is fully
one.tearth, or upon fairly good soil,
six bushels or nine dollars per acre.
Eleven dollars per acre upon ten ac:es,
will more than paw for the best drill
made, which will SOW ten acres . dav.
But if the means Of purchasing drill
are not available, and there are less
than ten acres Of wheat to be sown, it
will yet pay to hire drill, which may
be done from some neighbor, fortunate
enough to posses one, for so cents per
acre We have not yet seen part. Of
the country, where drill could not 10
purchased or hired, and very few fields
upon which a drill could not be used
if the ground was properly prepared. {.
1t is one of the greatest advantages
resulting from the use Of machinery
upon farms, that it to = great extent
necessitates good farming: At least
that it compels improvments, and tho
farmer who once enters upon tho
march Of improvement rarely stops and
never turues back. Thus when drill
is used for the first time the farmer
fiuds bis crooked fence in the way
his narrow gates, or his awkward bars
are inconvenient, the brush and weeds
around his fence interfere, his poor
blowing is troublesome, the baulks and
hard spots that have been left, nu-
isance to him, and the weeds. trash,
rough clods, and stones upon the sur.
face, are severe tax upon his patience.
The next season all these faults will be
remedied, because discovering tho
profit Of the machine, he is obi ged to
prepare for its use. This is like the
entrance Of light into dark places, and
number Of things that were never
noticed or suspected, before are now
SO conspieuously apparent that they
cannot be any longer left undone.
The same is trne as to the use of the
mower or the reaper, and thus the
money spent for any Of these needfnl
machines is repaid in more ways than
one.

WOULD WAR BENEFIT AMERICA :.
-Bayard Taylor writes from New
York to the Cincinnati Commercial !:
A great many, no doubt, would be
glad to see, not only prolongation Of
the eastern war, but its extension so as
to include the greater part Of Europe,
for the simple reason that we should
have profit by it. But it seems to NE
that such persons overlook tho close,
delicate and increasing interdepen :
dence Of all civilized nations in this
age Of the world. When | was pas
ing through Germany, in 1863, on my
return from Russia, several forms Of
industry were seriously depressed by
the continuance of our cwn war At
home !; all Europe has felt the vibra.
tions produced by our financial crisis
of 1873; aad a general war now, pro-
voked by the eastern difficulty, would
compels US to suffer from 1t in the end,
however much We might gain by it
for a time.

Wm. NJ. Tweed has been returned
to his old quarters. The damaging
revelations" so confidently expected,
have not yet been commenced and
probably will not be, at least, not by
the Boss" Mr.. Woodward, clerk OF
the Tweed ring, who was arrested in
Chicago and returned to New York,
is said to be prepared, with document
ary evidence. to make a full exposure
Of oil the ring operations. His evil
dence will include the frauds in con
nection with the election Of Seymour
and the democratic ticket in 1868 as
we'll as the matter of false vouchers
for work done on the Court House,

svindled out immense sums Of money

reached all honest people will rejoice.

what Grant will do.

The notion entertained by some
democrats that President Grant is like.
ly to do something extra constitutional
to prolong his party's lease of power,
may be dismissed at once as a silly
vagary born of the heated Imagination
Of partisans. With all Grants faults
OF character and all his wrong headed
performances such an idea, I venture to
say, never entered his brain. Demo.
Gratis who we're his comrades in the
army and who have always kept his
personal friendship have talked with
him Of late and are convinced that he
meaus to act with entire fairness in
the matter of the succession, and to
make everybody over whom he has
any control do the same. No conspi
racy is being hatched at the White
House. The Silent Man is not nearly
as uncommunnicative as he used to be.
He opens his heart more to his friends
and talks about the situation with Z
frankness WHICH surprises those &c (asi
toned to his former reticence: The
nearer approach Of the time when he
must lay down his cares Of Office .ap-
pears to be already changing Grant
the president into Grant the private
citizen. One thing may be depeuped
on with absolute certainty, and that is
that honestly and earnestly counsellius

states, be will enforce the legally de.
clared result with the same indomita.

when he sat down before Petersburg.

four bushels OF this variety Of beans,
from one hundred square reds Of land.
Last year was better season and the
yield was nearly seventy bushels "a

to manure the ground we'll before it il
p'owed, and after getting the ground
we'll prepared, the beans are sown in
drills, three feet and eight inches
apart, and kept entire free from weeds
When fairly ripe the beans are pulled
and turned over and allowed to dry
and then drawn. and threshed with 4

sowing, cultivating and harvesting this
years crop did not require to exceed
eighty days time.-CRecord and

A Labor Saving Machine for Farmers
A Nicolett County Invention.

Reference was made in our last
weeks issue to an improved Harvester,
the invention Of Messra John Peter
son, railroad contractor, and A. Thor.
son, recently our Register of Deeds.
They have just received letters patent
for their improved Harvester Reaper
and Mower, and We think brief de-
scription will prove Of interest to our
country readers especially. Wire bind.
ers are very Questionable to many
farmers: a straw binder apparatus has
never been made to work and seems
impracticabie. Whilst others may be
at work upon these attachments, the
persons referred to have had for their
object an arrangement that would re-.
duce manual labor to the minimnm.
Their harvester, they claim, requires
but one binder. while none now in use
can possibly run with lees than two,
and lively fellows at that. No eleva-
ing arrangement what ever is used,
but the grain when cut in the usual
manner is raked off the platform aud
formed into bundle in the operation
very similar to the Buckeye table rake,
and delivered to the binder at the rear
Of the platform. As soon as it is de
posted there, pair Of iron arms tight.
ly grasp the loose bundle and hold it,
giving ample time for the binder to
tie the tand previously laid in its
proper place The arms then release
the bundle in time to grab" the next
one as it is showed in its place. 1t
will be noticed that the labor and time
required to form a bundle, and hold
it down, (Which really occupy the prln.
cip,l part Of the binders time), are
all saved by the process described.
Indeed until a machine is invented
that will tie straw knot, there seems
nothing more to be done than what
Messrs. Peterson and Thorson have &C
complished. BY removing certain de-
tachable parts, the machine may easily
be changed to an ordinary reaper or
mower. We hope the machine may
work even better than its inventors
hope for, when put to practical test;
aud no enterprise would be more ad-
vantageous to our city than the estab-
lishment in our midst OF a Harvester
works, project, which We understand
has already been proposed -[st. Peter
Tribune.
