ERICSSoN,S MONITOR.

The Difficulty He Had in Getting tho Gov
ernmcnt to Accept 1t.
MIR. Ericsson, soon after our ac-
quaintance, let me take the Monitor

never go to Washington with the
plans because the Government owed
him $4,000 for his engineering work
in constructing the propeller Prince
ton, the first propeller ever built, but
would not pay it. took the plans to
Mr.. Wells. Secretary of the Navy, and
also to Mr.. Seward, Secretary of State
MIR. Seward gave me Il note to Presi-
dent Lincoln, and the following day /
called on the President. He said he
did not know much about vessels,
save flat-boots, but he agreed to meet
me the next day with the Board of
Naval Commissioners. Well, at this
meeting President Lincoln heard a
great deal Of adverse criticism on the
part OF the naval officers, but he said
that the idea reminded him OF the ex-
preston Of the girl who, when she
put her foot in her stocking, said
''Ihcre's something in it." Then
requested the board to make favor

with me to Washington, telling him
that all that believed was in the way
OF the acceptance of the plan was the
fact that one of the members of the
board did not think that he under
stood the idea we'll enough to give it
his appreciation. So Mr.. Ericsson re-
turned with me, and under the in

of the feasibility of the project and

ia Record Broken.

A New York dispatch of the Sth in
slant says:
The steamer City Of Paris of the H.
man line from Liverpool arrived ut
Sandy Hook at 1l:35 A. II. t"-dmy,
breaking all records from Queenstown.
The corrected time made is S days 90
hours aud Z minutes. The best pre-
vious record was made by the Etruria,
6 days l hour and 81 min utes.
1t is the first voyage across the At
1antic made in less thnn six days.
There were many men in maritime cir
cles who prophesied that the trip would
never be made in less that time. On
the first day out from Liverpool the
City of Paris covered 4i5 miles, tie
next day 49l, the third sos, the fourth
Sill, fifth 504, and the last fraction Of n
day 1872.

GOOD GREEN MANURES.
Rye, Glover, Oats and Buckwheat as Rem
ovators of the Soil

Rye, Glover, Oats and Buckwheat as Rem
Ovators of the Soil
Rye, clover, oats, corn and buck
wheat are the principle crops sown to
be turned under as a green manure to
enrich the soil. Oats and corn are not
often used. although with corn, espec-
tally. it is possible to secure heavy
growth. Of the other three, rye will
grow and make fair growth on thin
ner land than eithS of the others, and,
consequently, on very thin land is the
best with which to make start
toward building up. It is not so valua-
BILE fertilizer as the other two, but has
the advantage of taking better growth
on thinner land. The better plan is to
SOW the seed in the fall, preparing the
soil and sowing the seed about the same
as wheat. If sown seasonably early so
that good growth can be made, con-
siderable amount of pasturage can be
had from it during the latter part OF
the fall and again very early in the
spring, and still fine growth be Sc
cured to plow under. Sow five pecks
to the acre. If the growth is not pas
tured down good plan is to let grow
in the spring until the 1st of May, and
then pillow under and plant to corn.
One of the principal advantages with
buckwheat is that it makes a very quick
growth, and can lie sown either in the
spring or summer after the wheat and
oats have been harvested, and in short
time make a sufficient growth to be
plowed under. Like clover, the plant
contains considerable amount of nitro
gen, and not only is a valuable ferti1-
izer in itself, but also acts upon the soil
soil available. A very good plan is to
pillow up the stubble after the wheat or
oats is taken off, prepare the soil in
good filth and then SOW the seed broad
cast and cover with a light harrow or
brush. It grows very rapidly and will
soon shade the ground so that it will
withstand considerable drought without
injury. So far as possible it should be
plowed under when in full bloom, turn
ing under as completely as possible.
Wheat can be sown in the fall, or oats
Or corn in the spring; it is rather better
to plant corn or potatoes.
Glover is considered the best crop
for green manuring. The roots pene-
trate deep into the soil and in addition
to making good fertilizer themselves,
they act upon the soil and make plant
food available. 1t can be sown in the
fall or very early in the spring. The
first growth can be cut for hay, and if
fair stand is secured will yield a
profitable crop. and then a second
growth will be made that can be
ploughed under to enrich the soil.
When the soil has been allowed to run
down, good plan is to SOW rye in the
fall, plough under in the spring, and
either SOW oats and clover, or later SOW
ouckwheat and pillow this under and
then seed so as to get stand of clover;
plough this under and then wheat or
corn Cen then be grown. st. Louis Re-
