In view of large, and it may be sudden,
demand for gold, the Bank of England lately
raised its rate of discount from three to four
per cent. After fortnight's trial this proved
unable to restrain the outflow of specie from
the Golfers of the bank. Therefore, another
turn of the screw has raised the rate of dis
count to five per cent. There are two staples
of American produce which England must
have and, just now, can be supplied with
only by the United States. These are cotton
and breadstuffs. Formerly, before we began
to manufacture our own cotton and our own
metals, the trade with England was more
easy than profitable to us. English capital
and labor worked up our raw materials and
sold them to US at from three to tour hun
dred per cent. profit. The balance of trade
was then in favor of England, and we often
had to send heavy remittances in gold to
square the account. Noac, manufacturing
for ourselves, instead of paying, we have to
receive a large amount of gold from Europe
If they take, as they must, our cotton and
breadstuffs, they have to pay for them, not in
muslins, calicoes and cutlery, but in hard
cash. Thus it has come that the Bank OF
England is AFRAID of great drain of gold to
pay off British Indebtedness to this county.

Golden Millet.

A Kentucky correspondent, Mr..
w. johnson, writes as follows:
Several Of your farmers have writ
ten me in regard to Pure Golden
Millet-as to its nature, culture, &c.
and if you will allow me the space, l
will as briefly as possible, give my
experience with this wonderful grass.
First. it will grow in almost any
climate and on almost any soil. 1t
is sown broadcast, as any grass or
grain, and put in about the same
way-three tourths to one bushel of
seed to the acre. Cut same as hay
Or grain, and bind in bundles, which
is nicer way if you wish to thresh
tor seed. 1t natures in from ten to
twelve weeks; grows five to eight
feet high; produces from three to
five tons of hay to the acre, and from
fifty to one hundred bushels of seed
does better in wet and dry extremes
than any ciop | have any knowledge
of, one rain after it is up, being suf.
ticient to insure fair yield; it will
not fall or waste; winds and rains do
not PROSTATE it. will sand from two
to three weeks after it is ripe, and
and wait the coming of the harvest
er; do not be in a hurry to cut it;
let it mature well. AS food for all
stock, | know not of its equal. All
eat it eagerly and thrive on its nu-
tricious qualities. 1t is extra fine
Tor milk cows, especially if cut fine
before feeding. Fowls fed on the
seed will lay the year round. l
would advise any farmer who can
get pure seed, to SOW it, but be sure
you do not get the old common mil
let or hungarian. 1t is the very
thing to insure a good crop of excel
lent hay. One very great recon-
mendation is, it is a great fertilizer,
leaving the ground in q light mellow
condition and tree from weeds, &c.
BY sowing as soon as the danger of
frost is over, you can save crop
and turn under a crop on the same
ground each year. One crop OF 1t
on good ground will pay for the
ground on which it is grown. l
have paid $3.50 per bushel for it and
would, willingly pay $40
could it not be had for less, but the
price is now about 50 per bushel. l
have not single objection to it ex-
cept it takes labor to save it. In
cutting from good ground it will re-
qulre from ten to twelve hands to
keep up with the machine, and they
will have hard work if the machine
moves constantly, but it is easily
cured when once up.

The Future of the American Farmer

S. Sinnett in Western Farm journal.
On the commencement of a new
year it is usual to take retrospect
of the past, and lay out plans for the
future. There is no class that re-
quires more caution and forethought
than the farmer He is the great
mainstay of the nation. On his sue
cesstiul efforts depend the prosperity
OF the trades and enterprises that 60
to make up the general business, and
the development Of the nation de-
ponds upon his persevering efforts.
With this view of TIE case, how
necessary that the legislation of the
nation should be such as to carefully
guard his rights and protect and fos-
ter his enterprises, and give him all
the encouragement necessary to in
spire him with confidence.
The American farmer should and
ought to be the superior of his class
in all the regions of the earth. No
other nation holds out such induce
ments for enterprise and energy
With soil Of unrivalled fertility;
with diversity of climate suitable
to produce all that goes to make up
great and wealthy nation, and with
mineral wealth that exceeds that of
all other lands, and in the develop
ment which a great many workers
must be employed, that will consume
the surplus product Of the soil, and
with foreign demand from distant
nations less blessed than ourselves,
we can look back to future of ma
tional greatness and prosperity that

Butter from Beef Suet.

A visitor to the establishment of
Mr.. James Turner, Archer Avenue,
Chicago, where about three thousand
pounds oleomargarine are manutac-
tured per day, thus describes the pro-
cess of manufacture in one of the
city papers: Oleomargarine butter
is made from the best beef suet,
which is first ground fine by a ma
chine for that purpose, when it is
placed in a tank and heated to u nat
ural temperature OF the stomach of
the COW, at which temperature it
melts the oily matter from the celul-
lar tissue, the fatty matter on the sur
face being drawn off and allowed to
cool in large vessels. The fat crys-
talizes, and the margarine is separa-
ted from the oleine. The mass is
then put into strong bags, holding
some two or three pounds each
which are laid one upon another; put
in powerful press, and the oil,
which is essentially butter, is readily
separated from the stearine, which is
left In the form of thin, white cakes.
The oil is then put IN churn, with
moderate quantity of milk, and
enough annatto added to color prop
erly, when it is churned twenty or
twenty-five minutes, taken out, sailed
to taste, and worked until ready for
the firkin or table. None but the
best of tallow is used, and the entire
process is conducted with the utmost
cleanliness. The milk gives the but
ter taste and texture SO closely re-
sembling a good quality of butter
from cream that but few experts
would be able to detect the differ
ence, and we doubt it they could. 1t
is claimed that it keeps better than
the genuine article. The most Of
this product is shipped to England
where it is sold as Normandy butter,
the same being manufactured by
three or four establishments in Great
Britain. Very quietly we were in
formed that some OF the largest aud
best hotels in this city are supplied
