CENT., IN; . GOLD, at Mnety Cents on tne Dollar. This road was7 com Dieted ' froirf Omahf 305 miles west on the 1st of January, 1S67, and is fully equipped, and trains are regularly junning over it. The Company has now on hand sufficient iron, ties, etc., to finish the remain in portion to the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains, 312 miles, which is under contract to be done September 1st pf this year; and it . is expected. that th entire roud will be in running order from Omaha to its western connection with the Central Pacific, now being rapidly built eastward from iaacramento, CaL, during 1870. ' Means of. (he Company v -Estimating the distance to be built by the Union- aeificto W lfitt miles the United Utatea tiovernment issues its Six per Cent. Thirty-Year Bnds to the Com pany as tne roaa is nnisneu, at tne average rate of about i.SJM per mile, amounting to Its own First Morteaae Bonds to an eaual amount, and at the same time; which, by special Act of Congress, are made a First Mortgage on tne entire line, tne oonas oi the United. Sis is being subordinate to them. The Government makes a donation ot 12.80U acres of laud to the mile, amounting to 20.03-2.000 acres, estimated to be worth ,000,0UO, making the total resources, ex clusive oi tne capital, sus,ift,wg; out tne full value of the lands cannot now be realized. . : The authorized Cat'ltal Stock of the Com pany Is one hundred million dollars, ot which five millions have already been paiu in, and of .-which it is not supposed that more than twenty-five millions at most will b required. t ; ; The coftt of the road is estimated by competent engineers to be about one hundred million dollars, exclusive of equipment. Value and Security, pf the fionds, The Comnanv respectfully submit, that the above statement of facts fully demon strate the security of their Bonds; and as additional proof, they would suggest that the Bond now oijered ( ar lass tluB Jten million tfeuars on 517 miles or roaa, on which twenty milli n aollars have al ready been expended. On ) miles of this roid the cars are now running, and the re mains 187 miles are nearly completed. At the present rate of premium on gold, these bonds pay an annual interest on the present cost of , , , ,- ; JVtic per Cent., and it is believed that on the completion of the road, like the Government Bonds, tney will go aoove par. iiie Luuiiwuy m tend to sell bat a limited amount at the present low rate, and retain the right to advance the price at their option.

FARMERS' COLCMS.

Apple Bark Louse. This terri bly, insect, so destructive to we&tern apple trees-, has just hatched out, and may now be seen on trees miested with them, by the naked eye, resem bling small particles ot trast. ith a microscope of: moderate power, it. will be seen that the females are nestling together and areoearlytationary,:with their nose fastened to the bark, while the males are busily moving about as, guards and protectors to - the camp. The size of the insects we should judge is about the -l-50th . part of an inch. Now is the time. to destroy them if you know how to .do it. Nashville I t and Times. . , ess AVheatex Grits. -Any one can be supplied with this wholesome and pala table tooi,bygettinggood white wheat, and washing and thoroughly drying it. Then grind it in a coffee mill, keptfor the purpose, setting it to grind ; as coarse as possible.- Place- it in a sixquart tin pail, and pour cold water to cover it, Bet this pail into a kettle containing.six or eight inches depth of hot water, bet it to cook lor tour hours, stirring occasionally and adding more water as the wheat swells. ; Uerore taking up, stir in salt to your taste. Have ready your molds or dishes, (having first wet them,) , and pour in wheat into them. When cool, they should turn out like jelly, and be eaten ,with cream. Country Gentleman. ' " " '' ' JL Valuable Milk Farm. - Mr. Ross Winans of Baltimore, now over seventy years of age, pur chased, in 1861, a farm of about seven hundred acres, along the banks of the FataDsco lltver.! and about six miles from Baltimore.- His land cost him $50,000; he added buildings at a cost Of f 20,000 ;his fencing costlum $3,000, and be manured at an outlav . $67,000 making the total cost of his estate 1120,000. Uufing the year ending on the 1st of May last, his sales of milk amounted to $37,630 71; of cows and calves, in the-same period, he sold $ ll.i66 worth, and had fifteen or. twenty more animals on band than . at the commencement . of rhft war. He. however, nurchased $I),Q0S worth of cows and heifers durmir ihf Mar. -At the "close of the year he had on hand two hundred and twenty tons ot hay, and his total product of hay for the year was estimated at eightf en hundred tons a great average pef acre. His system of manuring tends to ' build up and nourish bis land, and not to im poverish it: "'-His milk is sold to the small grocers in Baltimore at thirty cents a gallon. Quantity of Seed per Acre. We give the following for reference: Grain Drilled. Wheat, one and a half to two bushels; rye, one and a fourth to one and half ; oats, two and a" half to three; barlej' and oats, one bushel of oats to two bushels or barley ; peas, two to three bushels ; buckwheat, one half to two thirds of a bushel ; corn, in hills, six to eight quarts; in drills, for fodder, two t three bushels; broadcast, for fodder, three to tour bushels; broom corn in drills, one half to three-fourths of a bushel; beans, one to one and a half bushels. ! Grasses.--Timothy, eight to twelve quarts; orchard grass, one and three fourths to two bushels; red-top, twelve to sixteen quarts; Kentucky blue grass, two bushels; white clover, four to six quarts ; red clover, six to eight quarts; millet, half to threefourths; lucerne, eight to ten pounds. Vegetable and other Seeds. Beets, four to five pounds per ; acre ; carrots, two. pounds; ruta-baga, three-fourths to one pound ; tobacco, two ounces ; cotton, two to five bushels; turnips, one to two pounds; onions, three to four pounds. .Flavor or Pork. After alluding to the fact that the opinion prevails that corn fed pork possesses 'a strong, unpleasant flavor (?) from the great quantity of oil contained in corn, Mr. Willard says that while in England the past i season, his attention was called to a point which has hitherto escaped observation, and one which has not been discussed by the agricultural writers. It is that whey when mingled with barley meal, and fed to swine, will make a better and more delicately flavored meat ' than can be obtained from any other food. : in' - To Prevent Cattle from Jumping: Fences The following singular Statement was made at a late meeting of the American Institute Farmers' Club at New York : -f " To prevent steers from jumping fences, clip off the eye lashes of the under lids with a pair of scissors, and the ability : or disposition .' to jump " is as effectually ' destroyed as Sampson's 1 power was by the loss of his locks. The animal will not attempt a fence until the eye lashes are grown again." Of this, we are informed by Samuel ' Thorhe, the greatest breeder of Duchess County, who assured us that he had tested it upon a pair of very breachy oxen. As it was of great value to him, he hopes it will be tried by others." The Cost of Weeds. ' The most expensive crop grown by farmers is weeds. It is not easy to estimate their cost, but we know that it amounts to many millions of dollars annually. If their value is anything, the farmer has seldom been - able to appreciate" it. The question 'of weeds becomes every year more serious, and their spread more appalling. Some of the best farms of the country have

become so infested with weeds as ,to yield but poor returns. If our present system of culture is to continue, no one need to expect to rapidly grasp a fortune at farming. . The eradication of weeds, when they once get possession of the soil, is somewhat discouragib? to the farmer, especially when neighboring farms are: growing weed crops that furnish. innumerable seeds to be wafted by the wind and, deposited upon the land. There is scarcely a farmer but understands that a large crop of ' useful plants cannot be expetted from v grounds overrun with weeds, and yet. many pay but. slight attention", to subduing these , pests. They increase from year to year, until the very condition of things is deemed a sort of excuse, to let them take possession of the soil. . They become formidable, and men dread to make the attick; knowing that no weak opponent is to be encountered. Coun
