The New York Sun believes that the
Democratic National Convention should
nominate Mr.. Tilden by reclamation,
telegraph the news to him and await
declination. The Sun is getting rather
sentimental in its old age. But Dana
can see through a hole in a milestone.
He wants to tiatter Sammy and then
tap his bar'l. Probably the Sage Of
Gramarcy will not be caught by such
chaff

A meeting of the millerS and grain
dealers ofSouthern Minnesota was held
at Winona on Saturday last to take &C
ton TO promote the growth OF hare
wheat. The meeting was largely al
tended, and among the names present,
we notice that r. u. Hubbard d Co.,
mil{rs of this city, were represented.
Aster very general and animated
&Nlssion in which the sentiment was
unafimous in favor Of hard wheat, it
WAS determined to issue the following
circular TO farmers:
Alta meeting held at the Hnff house, Wi
mona, March II, at which there was a. iaNnr-
able representation of the miilciS aud gram
dealers of Southern Minnesota, and Eumer-
Gus letters and kilograms authorizing uctlof
10 be taken To warn the farmers hSaiilSt SOW
ing soft wheat and that containing any smut
II was go loo,
Rssolred, That we, as millers aud grain deal
ers do agree, that we Will make u great ull-
ference in the price OF hard wheat over soIt
wheat I'm the coming crop; thai lnls ulscrim-
inatiop against soft wheat be timely notice
10 all farmers I'm their spring seeding
It will be well for farmers who intend
raising wheat the present season to In
yestigate this matter before seeding
time. The convention says-"we agree
to make a great difference in the price
of hard wheat over soft wheat" and
while they fail to SO frame their words
as to give the producer to know what a
"great difference means in this dis
terminating clause, it may be taken for
granted that hard wheat will be the
more profitable of the two varieties to
cultivate. 1t is claimed, and possibly
with truth, that soft wheat will yield
better than hard, though just why this
is so. we have no reliable information.
However, admitting it to be fact, if it
is to be graded lower and bring less
priee in the market, it will be wiser to
SOW the variety which will receive the
favor and cominendation of those whom
the farmers must rely upon to purchase
his products.

THE Austin Register says starch fac
tory is to he started in that city, pro-
vided the farmers will encourage the
industry by raising potatoes at 20 cents
per bushel. Mr. Grcgscn, the projec-
tor, wants TO make contracts with farm
ers for potatoes, big and little ones. at
the above price. He calculate that he
can use 80, 900 bushels. There is money
in raising potatoes at even 20 cents, and
no reason Is apparent why farmer.

tract that will afford them such desir-
