. THE German papers publish details of a.series of experiments carried on

at the agrjeultural schools in- that

‘eountry for the purpose of testing » the nutritive properties of grass and h;j; at various stages. By an elabor- - ate series of analyges it is shown why young grass is more nutritious than

matu-x;e grass. The physiological ex-

périments show that it is more easily dig@t_ible. Thus grass two and a half inches high contains nearly 5o

per cent. more of albumenoids. than

grass ‘which is six’ inches high, and 10/more of “crude fat,”. The mature

g&x contains more woody fiber and - flesh-forming matter than the

young grass, and, besides this, it is found that the nutritious albumenoids exist in no less soluable form in hay than young grass. Hence the difference of nutritive value and digestibiliy. Autumnal hay ‘was found to be meore nutritious than summer hay.

_A Goop YIELD OoF MiLk.—Mr. N. sShaw, a farmer residingin this town-

~ ship, has furnished us'a statement | showing the daily yield of milk, for . thirly eonsecutive days, from OJ four-vear-pld cow, and which amounts in the aggregate to 1,219 pounds; making - adaily average of a fraction over for- 1 " iy'and one half pounds per day fOlf‘ . ihe entire month. The milkings were commenced on the- first day of May, “when the calf was eight days old, and she was milked three times per day !’ uring the month. -The smallest yield in one day was 391; pounds, the laig_est 48]q. During.the first six days the average was 402 pounds, during the last six days about 39 pounds. "~ Mr. S. does not state whether he. fed a2y extra milk-producing foed or not, neither does he tell us what stock his cow is of. She is certainly an excel_“lent milker, and if any of Tne BAN- ‘] NEr readers can present a better - showing we. would ‘be glad to hear - fromthém;‘ s e

. LEaKs IN THE FARM.—Unfinished | fences, which allow eattle to go where ‘they please, are very common. A lit~ tle timely. labor, the Farmer’s Vindicator suggests, would stop this leak, ‘would save the crops and teach' the " cattle goed manneis. Ditches which have caved ¥ andithe earth washed away are considerable leaks on'a farm andseost much more time and labor to clean them out than to dig new ones. Doors and gates without hangings are very inconvenient, much more liable to accidents, needing to be renewed -in less than half the time they would last'if properly cared for. These are a few of the leaks-which meet the eye while journeying through the rural distriefs. . If one pursues farming as a business, it will pay to follow it in -the best manner, and the good judgment of the intelligent farmer will “lead him'to stop all the leaks, great or small. '~ iy

- Foop For HORSES AND SHEEP.—A . faverite and rather new kind of nrash _ for horses is eoming into use, compos- l - ed of two quarts of oats, oné of bran, and one-half pint af flax seed. The . Imdiana Farmer gives the following directions for preparing this feed: The oats are first placed in the stable " bucket, over which is placed the lin- ' seed; add boiling water, then the: bran, covering the mixture with an | 0l rug and allowing it thus to rest - ~vfor five hours. Then stir the mass * ‘well up. The bran absorbs, while re- _ taining the’vapir, and the linseed . binds the oats and bran together. A .- greater quantity of flax seed would. - -make the preparation too oily 4nd less ~ relished. One feed per day is suffi_cient; it is eagily digested and' is specially adapted to young animals, addL ~ing to their volume rather than to * their height—giving substance’to their ‘eframe. Prof. Sanson reminds us not ' .to overlook the food in the nourishf . ment question in connection with the amelioration of live stock. He considers vats, as so generally given to sheep, as objectionable. and approach- | - ing the #npro‘ﬂt.ablé; -rams generally . * receive one pouud of oats daily, ewes ~'half that quantity.

TMINNEAPOLIS, THE GRANDEST CITY OF THE “, o NORTH-WEST, - - B - o <35 W e B - ITS HANDSOME EESIDENCES AND IM. POSING BUSINESS STRUCTURES: Saitipaseiopprd { Tmpressipns .of, an: Enchanted Hoo- ; EPIRRUR TTR L Dot MisEmapobis, M., Jil§ 3, BW. To My Friends at Ligonierr .~ = & =3 ¢ I will try to give you a faint idea of Minneapolis, a city: of 38,000 inhabitants, beautifully located on the west side of the Mississippi river; and nine miles from St Paul,the capital of the State, directly opposite .the. Falls of St. Anthony. ‘These falls were discovered b“y»; Louis Hennepin, a Franciscan priest, in the year 1680, and after him ‘the county was named of which Minneapolis is the county seat. The Falls were named St; Anthony, in honer of the discoverer’s patron saint. About “one-half mile above the Falls the waters of the Mississippi part, forming an island, on which was built the an: cient town of St. Anthony, but which is now known as East Minneapelis. Directly above the Falls the waters -again unite and pass over the river's rocky bed to a depth of seventy-five or one hundred feet, presenting to the ‘observer a grand and be:z_;ut_iful sight. But not only is the sight ‘a grand.bne to behold, bat its puwer to propel machinery is beyond calculation. ‘There is power enough in the rushing of .these mighty waters, over so great a fall, to drive the machinery of the “world, could it only be attached there‘to. This, my readers; you may think Jis overdrawn. Perhaps it is. Butlet me sy to you that it already drives the machinery-of eighteen merchant mills, twenty-three saw mills, several paper-mills, | wool‘eh-mil\ls, the iron works, planing mills, plow works, carriage works, and others,. too nu- | merous to mention. - : '

. Seven of the saw-mills are buili on. one platform, each -one sawing eighty thousand feet of lumber per day (that is, in twenty-four hours, for they run day and night). So, also, is the mag- | nitude of the flouring mills. The ‘Washburn mill, for instance, with its forty run of stone, grinds out fourteen hundred barrels daily. This mill I had ‘the pleasure of viewing from top to bottom. It is a six-story building, of stone, the wall of zthe first two stories being four feet thick. Everything in and about it is systematic and in order. I can only express it when I say that.it is immense. The Washburn mill is noted for making the ‘finest flour in the United States, and not only does its shipments extend over the whole of America; but orders are filled and_sent across the, briny deep to Europe. ;So, also, is the lumber trade. - Could you bitt see the Mississippi lingd for miles on either side of the main channel with millions of logs, chained together, you would surely think the whole pine forests of the Red river were floating on.its bosom. And then if you would take a view of the immense lumber yards, whielr are here a_nd"thei'é, and it seems everywhere, you would get the im- | préssiolll that the supplj;"was way beyond the demand; that it would take years and years to consume it all. But just to give you some little idea of the amount of business done here, I give you the receipts and shipments during the last six months, and which are as follows: _ (N '

“On this last day of the century, our Board of Trade report for the six months ending June 30, will be of interest.| The receipts and shipments are giwﬂen hy cars: R Receipts— wheat,5.249 ; merchandise, 2,275 ; sundries, 3,209. Total, 10,733. Shi}:fnents—]?‘lour, 4,358 ; lumber, 78424 bran, 650, merchandise, 1,816; sundries, 552. -.Total, 15,218.”

- Minneapolis is conceded to be the } finest city in the West, in point of location/and construction. It lays high above!the bed of the river, on a rich, undulating prairie, with natural drainage on all sides. Its streets are from eighty to one hundred feet wide, with wide sidewalks, and lined on. either side with shade trees. Each addition to the city has been laid out in conformity to the original plat, thereby preventing all jogs and preserving perfect symmetry throughout. As to residences, I think no ecity of its size can bpast of as many fine ones, costing from five to sixty thousand dollars each. The most attractable featura about, them is their large lawns, with beaut"ﬁful‘vshade trees, shrubbery, fountains,roses and ornaments of all kinds. Eventhe stables are built with the greatest of taste, many of them -costingéfx‘foxil two to five thousand dollars.. This city already has fifty-nine church-. es. The Universalist church has just ‘been eompleted, at a cost of sixty-five thousand dollars, and is to be dedi-. ‘cated next Sabbath. . The Rev. Robert Colyer, of Chicago, is to preach.the dedicatory sermon. The WestminsterPigsl}yterians are pei'fect_;ing plans andspecifications for a new church to cost forty-five thousand. dollars, of which thirty thousand has already been subscribed. There are about 'seventy organized Sabbath. Schools here, some ©of them mission sehools. - Several of the Sabbath Schools have an average attendance of from three to four hundred scholars. Besides these, the Young Men’s: Christian “Association ﬁuﬂbers 149 ‘members and is doing a good work. Co]!eges and schools are numerous. . The' State University is located here. Also the Scandinavian InstE(ution, and which nativity com:pyis s & ‘goodly portion of the inhabitants of this State. Beside these, ther‘e are several other .colleges and seminaries, Tligh schools and ward schaols, affording ample facilities for proeuring an education. . '. i Owing to the notoriety this city has. for healthfulness and pleasure resorts, shoungiog with chesifte koo wﬁf" (from Which “Min ‘he-S6tah” derivés its name), their pie--turesque beauty and loveliness, with their pebbly bottoms, transparent w ters, wooded shores and sylvan associations, it must be seen to be appreciated. And many there are who €omeé from’all parts of the Union to see them, and to take from its waters the beautiful fish with which they gouly | {3 e -We visited Minnehaha, and as we = heo o Tk v ; Yense delight upon the waters ’b’“&? st ready to make the leap, we could

- The next thing of interest, and only a few miles distant, is Fort Snelling, built in 1820, and presenting a 4 commanding view of ‘tlie Mississippi and Minnesota rivers. The fort stands on a bluff, over two hundred feet above the beds of the rivers, and of the C'liicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad, which winds around among the bluffs and along the valley, wlmost ‘equal to the Horse'Shoe Bend in Pennsylvania The fort is surrounded by a high stone wall with only one entranee, upon ‘which ill the guns of the fort could easily be Lrought to bear, and which, no doubt, answered a good purpose at one time, wlien the Sioux Indians (who are at present causing so much trouble) inhabited this Territory. The buildings are good and substantial, being built of stone, and everything looks neat and tidy.® ‘Lhe fort is under the command .of Col. Sykes, who has bat two companies of infantry.. Although the sight of the blue coats brought ‘back to me mémories of the past, it did not infuse me with enough patriotism .to make me want to be a seldier, and “with the soldiers stand”—to hold the fort; not mueh! P ; 1 44

From Fort Snelling we went to the famous Bill King’s stock farm, whieh is'said to be the finest in the State. And it éan be truthfully said of it; it is a model farm, with immense barns, ‘and some very fine stock,.consisting of short-horns, Jerseys and what they call “natives.”. The Jerseys that were at the Ligonier Fair last year would sink Into utter. insignificance when compared with these. What say you to a two-year-old heifer (short-horn) weighing over 14001bs? - Eyerything about this farm looks prosperous, in the fields as well as in the cribs and bins. - After viewing these things, one is led to exclaim:. “Surely, lobbying at Washington must be paying business.” : - - i i

The next place of interest visited was "Lake Calhoun. This is something similar to Diamond Lake, with the exception that there is no marsh or wet land around it, but it is skirted with a beautiful grove and pebbly shores. ) .

- Thé next place visited, in company with brother L. H. and his wife, was Lake Minnetouka, distant about twelve miles, on the St. Paul & Pacific railroad, This lake is about thirty. miles loglg and six miles wide. Here we met the House of Hope Sabbath School, from St. Paul, who had come upon a special train on a pic-ni¢ ex—cursion to Gideon’s Grove, about seven miles out on the lake. Here the, May Queen, a beautiful litfle steamer,: with-a capacity of seventy-five or one hundred persons, makes daily trips to ‘ different points on the lake. Tvs;o ' barges were here in waiting to carry the pic-nicers to the grove. The ride would have been more pleasant to us in the steamer had it not been encumbered with the barges. But, notwithstanding all this, we had a nice trip, and from the deck could take a fine view of the scenery around the lake. . After towing the barges to the grove, the captain took us down to a place called Excelsior, which is quite a summer resort. Here we took dinner ‘and amused ourselves as best we could until three o’clock, when we again ‘took passage on the steamer for home. I could describe many other objects | that were of interest to me but might ‘not be to you, So I will close' by ‘wishing you all a glorious Fourth. - . : D. W. GREEN.

ROME CITY ITEMS. (Received too late for last week's BANNER.) . Owen’ Rice, formerly of this place, but now located at Wabash, made his friends ‘and acquaintances here a flyingivisit a few days ago. It will-be remembered that the Doctor was one of the very efficient engineers in laying out and building the G.R.& I Railroad through this section,and after the same was completed he remained here in-charge de affairs and bookkeeper for G. W. Geisendorff. After Mr. G. went into bankruptey the Doctor went to Wabash and took charge of the books of the Cincinnati, Wabash & Western Railroad.. At the time the Doctor entered the employ of said company, it _w‘as in straitened circumstances and, as it were, struggling‘%or life. But through his very efficient management and ability, in conjunction with Messrs, Gardener & Wells (the President and Superintendent of the road), they imve succeeded in placing their road upon a sound footing, ‘and it is now recognized as ‘one of the important and substantial roads of the eountry. We believe that the Doctor holds the position of Auditor, general ticket and freight agent, and has about 125 miles of road under his immediate eare. The many friends of the Doctor here rbjdic?hi&' good luck’ in obtaining so impeftant and lucrative a situation and éongratulate the railroad company on their selection of so worthy a helpmate. Those wishing to visit thre Capitol of the State, or any peint in the South-west, can do no better than to take passage on the Cincinnati, Wabash & Michiganvoad. . :

. The nomination of Tilden and Hendricks affected the Democrats of Rome very similar to the way the nominations of Ilayes and Wheeler affected the Republicans.

Munch e N 7 serious sickness and* s f i sufferingis prevent = : ed by their timely use; and every family should have them on hand for their protection and relief, when. required. Long cxperience has proved them to bneam safest, surest,’and best of all the Pills with which’ the market abounds. By their occasional use; the blood isg)m'xﬁed, the corruptions of the system expelled, | obstructions removed, ‘and the whole machinery of life restored to its healtly activity. Internal organs which become ¢logged | and sluggish ave cleansed by Ayer’s Pitls, and stimulated iinte action. Thus mcipient disease ig changed into health, the value of which change, when reckoned on the vast multitudes who enjoy | it, can hardly be computed. Their sugar coating makes them pleasant to take, and preserves their virtues unimpaired for any:lengél of time, 50 that the?' are ever fresh, and. perfectly relialie. Although searching, they are mild, and o{:crate without disturbance to the constitution;ord iet, or occui)atl(.m. | isdii Full directions are given on. the Wm]l)&cn‘ to® 2ach box, how to use them as a Family PHysic, | and for the following qomplaints, which these | Pills vapidly cure:— : 3 T . For Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Listless. ness, Laﬂguor and Loss of Apilmtite, they should Be taken moderately to stimulate the stomach, and rqs:gre its healthy tone and action. For Liver Complaint and its various symptoms, Milious Headache, Sick Heads ache, Jaundice or Green Sickness, Bilious Colic and RBiliors Fevers. they should be judiciously taken for each case, to correct the diseased action or remoi(e the obstructions which cause it. | | For Dysentery or Ddiarrhoea, hut one mild dose is generally rqquired. : For Rheumatism, Gout, Gravel, Pal. gitation‘ of the Heart, Pain in the ide, BBack and Leins, they shoyld be continuously taken, as vequired, to change the disensed action of the system. Withisuch change those complaints disappear. | g X “For Mropsy and Dropsical Swellings, they should be taken inflarge and frequent doses to produce the effect of p drastic \nu‘ge. | For Suppression,a large dose should be t:\kgn, as it produces thie desired effect by symathy, - e : : : As a Dinner Pill, take onc or two Pills to promote digestion and relieve the stowach. _ An oceasional dose stimulates'the stomach and bowels, restores the apl)ctitc, and invigorates the system. Hence it is often’ adyantageous where no serions derangement exists. One who feels I:olexjal'.;)!/ ywell, often ﬁ}uls‘ that a dose of these Pills nfakes him feel decidedly bettey, from their cleansing and:renovating effect on the digestive apparatus. : | AT gl S PREPARED BY 3 .

i No one remedy is louder called for by the necessities of the American people than a 7. sure and safe.cure for Fever and Ague. Such e ate now : enabled to offer, with a perfect 2 certainty that it will eradicate ! the disease, and with assurance, founded on proof, that no harm can arise from'its use in any qufmtity. ; That which protects from or prevents this disorder must be of immense service in'the communities where it prel;lmls. Drevention is better than cure, for the {mti‘ent gscapes the risk which he must run in violent attacks of thig:baleful distemper. This “CURE” expels tlie miasmatic poison .of FEVER AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the development of the disease, if taken on the first approach of its premonitory sym}ivtoms. It is notﬂonl{y the best Yemedy ever yet discovered for this class of complaints, but also the chenYest. The large quantity we supply for a dollar brings it within the reach of everybody; and in| bilious distriets, where TEVER, AND AGUE prevails, everybody should have it, anduse: it freely, both for cure and protection. Itis hoPed this price will })lacc it within the reach.of all—the poor as well as the rich. A great superiority of this remedy:over any other ever discovered for the speedy and certain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains no Quinine or .mineral; consequently it produces.no (‘uinism or other injurious eflects whatever upon the constitution. 'l‘hgse cured by it are left as healthy asif they had never had the disease, ' Fever and Ague is not-alone the consequence of the mingmatic poison. A greatvarietyof disCorders arise from its drritation, amoug which “are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth‘ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection of the épleen, Hysterics, Pain in the Bowels, @elic, Paralysis, and derangement of [the: Stomach, all of which, when originating in this cause, put on the intermittent ype, or become periodical. This « Cußrg” expels the poison from the blood, and consequently cures them all alike. It is an invaluable protectien to immigrants and persons, travelling or temporarily- residing in the malarious districts. If taken occasionally or daily while exposed to the infection, that will be excreted from the system, and cannot accumulate in suflicient quantity to ripen 'into - disease. Hence it is even more valuable for protection ithan cure; and few will ever suffer from Inter‘mittents if theiy avail themselves af the protection this remedy affords. ¥or Liver Complaints, arising from torpidit]y‘of the Liver, it is an excéllent remedy, stimulating the Liver into healthy activity; andproducing many truly remarkable cures, \ﬂlm]era other medicines fail, .
