COMPARATIVE VALUE OF; MILLETs.

( Common and German Millet Withstand
Drought Better Than Hungarian Grass.
n Common and German millet, which
withstand dry weather better than Hun
garian grass, are more largely grown
in the west, while Hungarian is general
" preferred at the east. Common mil
let is the earliest of the three and may
be recognized by it's green, slender, nod
ding head, which is open or ragged
at the base, while the dark purple head
of Hungarian is compact and nearly up
right German millet has a large, roug!.
head, with coarse stems, generally but
one from each root. The seeds Of Hun
garian are easily recognized by their
mixed color. Many Of the grains-the
more the better--are dark purple, while
there are always present more or less
yellow seeds, due chiefly to imperfect
ripening.
Common and German millet both
have yellow seeds, but the seed of first
class southern grown German millet is
smaller and plumper than that Of COM
mon millet and generally has coppery
tinge, which has sometimes given it the
name Of "golden" millet. When this
southern seed is planted in the north and
west, it often fails to ripen thoroughly
and tends to become oval in shape in
stead of round, SO that it much resembles
common millet. On this account some
have supposed all common millet to be
legenerated German millet, and it is
getting to DO q practice with some seeds
men to substitute, Intentionally or 9th
erwise, the cheaper and generally less
desirable common millet for the Ger
man variety.
Professor Crozier, writing from the
Michigan agricultural college to Aneri'
Can Agriculturist, says:
Out Of 81 samples obtained this year
under the name German millet' five
were pure common millet and four mix
ed with that variety. The latter variety
is tile best for thin soils, or late sowing,
or for early sowing to be followed by
fall crops, but OH good land where the
full season can be given it, by far the
largest yield Of hay will be produced by
the German millet. Our common millet
last year, so,vn June 2, and cut for hay
Aug. 3, yielded 1 d tons per acre. Ger
man millet sown the same time was not
ready to cut until Sept. 10, and aver
aged nearly 2H tons per acre.

Tho principal points il the Ven
ezuela boundary affair are cspablt
of being stated concisely.
Venesuela claims that Great Brit.
ain owns only the territory which
was expressly ceded to her BY the
Dutch, aud that as ali Of the other
territory belonged to Spain it paesed
to Venezuela when the republic SO
cured its independence.
Great Britain denies this, and al
leges that the territory in dispute
Was never occupied. by Spain and
never belonged to her; that il was
vacant territory to be settled by
any country which chose 10 take it,
and that it is now hers by right OF
possession.
The above hverments are one
cause Of dispute and another has
regard to the attempts TO establish
the boundary.
Venezuela asserts that she has
been trying for forty years to get a
settlement with England, which
puts her off and continues to abb
sorb more territory.
Lord Salisbury, in his letter pub
lished recently, denies this and
says England has offered to move
her lines back out of consideration
for Venezuela; that Lord Aberdeen
made such a proposal, and Venezu-
ella let six years go by without an
swering it; that Lord Granville
made similar propositionin 1880,
and that also went unanswered, and
that finally Venezuela severed Dip
lomatic relations some years ago.
Now these are the contradictory
statements made, and the thing to
do is to find out which are true.

The United States Senate by
unanimous vote, and without the
forinality Of a rollcall. passed the
bill adopted by the House of Rep.

determine the Venezuela British
Guiana boundary. This action was
the elimination of a debate adding
q memorable page to Congressional

subject Of war between the United

prevailing theme, which found ex-

at times, in defiant warning to the
