"A bill passed the House of Representa-
tives, on Monday, creating department of
Agriculture. The immense importance of
the agricultural interests of the country is
sufficient 10 justify the creation of this bu-
reau, and when it is fully organized and in
working order 1t may be made extremely
valuable to farmers. Every class of people
in the country, except farmers, has epjoved
the fostering care and protection OF the gov
eminent, and it is time their interests should
be looked after more carefully.

"A case OF considerable interest TO farmers
was tried in the Carroll county court, on
Wednesday. Some farmers in that county
had bought so-called "huless oats" at $40 a
bushel, the seller agreeing to take a certain
number of bushels, when raised from this seed
at the same price. Lewis Green gave his note
to Huddle, the oats man, for 5000. The note
was sold to a broker and paid by Green
The latter called on Huddle to perform his
part OF the contract and take 40 bushels of
the oats he had raised-which proved to be
common oats-at $40 bushel. Huddle
gave Green notes of other farmers who had
bought "hulless oats" from him on similar
conditions. On one of these notes Green
brought suit and Judges Miller, Smith and
Jones decided that the contract to sell the
crop was part of the consideration of the
note, and that if the jury found that Green
received the note with knowledge of the
contract he could not recover. The plain.
tin tooka judgment of non pros, so that he
might bring another suit.
