Golden Millet.
Correspondence OF Farmers Onion.


Having had severa! inquiries from
farmers in your part regarding pure
golden millet, its nature, culture, &C.
| will. as briefly as possible, give my
experience If you will allow me t" e
space. for their benefit.
First, it will grow in almost any eli
mate or soil; it is sown broadcast as
any grass or grain and put in about
the same way; three fourths to one
bushel Of seed to the acre; cut same
as hay; or cut anl bound IN bundles
AS grain. which is y nicer way if you
wish to thrash for seed. 1t natures

rair after 1t is up being sufc,ent to
insure fair yield; will never fail or
waste: winds and rains do not frus-
,rate it: will stand two or three weeks
after it is ripe and wait the coming OF
the harvester; do not be in hurry
to cut it; let it mature we'll; as food

tritious qualities; I have never seen
anything as good for milk cows if we'll

would advise any brother farmer
who can get pure seed to SOW it, but
be sure you do not get the old com
mon nillct or hungarian it is the
very thing to insure an abundant
supply Of excellent hay for winter
feeding. I am sure those who have
been in the habit Of sowing corn will
do SO no more when they try this.
Another great recommendation, it
is a great fertilizer; it leaves the
ground in q light mellow condition

"Hghtning fluid" as professional. Occa-
sionally persevering business man, more
sanguine than any of his fellows, strikes
out for himself and learns to transact his
own business by telegraph himself, with
more or less success. OF this class there is
one prominent example in this city. The
efficient manager of one of the ocean
steamship lines running into this port is an
amateur operator Of more than ordinary
merit, an accomplishment which is of in
estimable value to him.

but to those who knew that Mr. Sherman.
Mr. Blalnes private secretary, is an old
and expert operator, the revelation did
not seem so much like the work of a
clairvoyant. The secretary of Gen. B. F.
Butler IS an operator, and President HAYES,
when Governor Of Ohio, employed tele
grapher as private secretary. The Prince
OF Wales keeps two operators at Sandring-
ham Palace. The same valuable custom is
gaining all over the world, and many of
the kneenest Of our business men prefer to
select their confidential assistants from
telegraphic ranks.
The telegraph, although so recently
brought into general use, is making rapid
strides. Four hundred thousand miles of
wire are now stretched over the land or
under the sea-enough to ''put a girdle

NEW IDEA IN CANAL PRopULsIoN.
New York Legislature has passed n bill
making an appropriation of $1,000 to
enable Mr.. Ii. II. Baker to Law an exnori
mental portion of his single rail propeIlins
track along the BERN bank of the Erie
canal. The rail which is to be elevated. is
intended to act in connection with coz.
wheels and an inexpensive engine placed
on each canal boat as a substitute for horses.
The machinery is simple, and the cost, it is
asserted, is less expensive and the facility
OF construction better than any method of
propulsion previously devised. The
amount appropriated by the Legislature
will enable the protector to finish five miles
inside of thirty days, and the cost of the
entire line to Buffalo will be but $3.50. 600.
IL Is not even necessary that the rail should
DC level, the pressure on the cog running
over the rail being sufficient to keep it in
place. 1t can be readily detached to
enable boats to pass each other There
Will be no damaging wash created more
than at present.
