THE CONDUCTOR’S STORY.
We were smoking one night before the
hotel smoking-room grate, when one man
said:
‘I have always thought I’d like to be a
railroad conductor—for a while at least-”
The old conductor smiled and knocked
the ashes off his cigar.
“Well,” said he, “I believe almost every
one has had that feeling at one time or an
other. There is something fascinating to a
sober bn'iness man in theideaof doing busi
ness and earning your living at 30 miles an j
hou: and the spice of danger that you may!
at ; nv moment be sent to kingdom come by
doing express,” is just vague enough toj
not frighten, but attract. But to a conduc
tor e- a prosaic business enough. So it is!
to eno iuei is and brakesmen. Don’t yon re
n id r that at the inquest over the Nur
w ■ h Bridge accident, it was shown that the
i diueer was in the habit of opening every
thing and then r°ading a newspaper? He
was neglecting his business, of course; but
it liev - what huliit will do: ’twill make a
reading-room of an express engine.
‘Tiailrosd men learn the le>son of punc
tuality very thoroughly. It won't do to be
Is to or the train won’t start on time, and
flail an awful row is certain. One time i
vi - at Albany, and that alterncon the Hud
s u liner, Boston and Central trains all
started at 5 o’clock. Well, the conductors
of tin-trains, and the engineers, too, wont
down the river on a little propeller—the
Julia, 1 think she was called. We turned
loiind in plenty of time, but about ten miles
below Albany we ran aground. There wasn’t
a ci mductor at the depot to take any one’s
place, and the tide was falling. Williams,
a splendid, great big fellow, became desper
ate. jumped into the river, put his shoulders
under the stern, where the propeller had
caught on a mud hank, and as the boat was
:i nine can power only, and he was a perfect 1
Hercules, he actually lifted her off, and we j
arrived in Albany just in time—only Wil
li • i::i had to run to Syracuse -vAth his wet
clothes on.
“It’s a queer existence, too, running day
afier day through a lot of little places that
you don’t take any interest in, or know any
tiiing about, more than that the stations are
c-alle I such stations. It isn’t such a danger- 1
on lit' either. Accident insurance compa
nies don’t rate passenger conductors very
high, but if ever you want to feel how help
less a mortal you are in the hands of the Al
mighty, just get on an express engine, and
get tli engineer to “open everything” on a
ilurk night. It’s positively awful to see your
la .ul-light boring into darkness, and to think
that between you and instant death there’s
only the chance of the two pieces of iron
you’re traveling on being continuous and
clear; that if somebody has just pried up a
rail since the last train went over, or an
chored something on the track, your friends
won’t know your body when the coroner’s
jury calls them as witnesses to your identity.
“That's the way 1 thought the first time I
tried it, but the engineer was smoking a
pipe, and the lireman was whistling ‘Jiw-a
--i mg Josey.’
“When a conductor runs a truin out of
town and runs another in again the same
<ln v. it isn’t such a queer life as when he
ruiis a train out one day and in the next.
Then he lives two lives. One night lie’s a
married man at one place; the next night
he’s a bachelor at another place; and the
next night a married man again—and so on,
see-saw.
“There’s a kind of a queer feeling of re
sponsibility, having three or four hundred
live in your keeping. But then there's the
rules. If you keep to them, if anything
happens it isn’t your fault. When you are
out of time and have to wait, you are sure
to be cross and sure to be badgered by ques
tions. A foreigner once told me that one of!
the most surprising things he had seen in
America, was the respect paid to conductors,
mid the way that they were obeyed by pas
senger-. But passengers will ask questions
when you’re waiting, and its provoking.
()ue day I was out of time, and ran off on a
switch to wait for either the down train or u
teh gram to come on. By and by, a pom
pous man comes to me us I was sitting on
the fence.
“Mr. conductor” says he, “what are we
waiting for.”
“For the down train—we’re out of time.
There’s n single truck here, and she has the
right of the way.”
■‘But suppose the down train is behind,
• Then I’ll get a telegram.”
“But suppose they don’t telegraph you,
how long will you wnit.”
“ I'ill the wheels rust off,” said I.
“He went hack to the coach growling
something about having an engagement in
town at the hour the train was due, and I
afterword found out that he was the Vice
Pi t uient of the road. But he was a sensi
ble old fellow, though quick-tempered, and
1 stood better with the officers for what I
hml said. He used to poke heavy fun at ine’
sometimes, and recommend me to wet the
-wheels and they would rust off sooner.
M -h i ..itcnwliiinr how reckless some rail
road men become. I was ou a aide truck
waiting '"it of time once, and a fellow comes
to tue and says, “Why don’t you go on?”;
“Cause my orders are to stay,” I said rather
sharply.
“Ho was the new superintendent, a young
fellow whom I had never seen because he’d
just onto the road. He was courting a girl
on the line of the road, I afterward* found
out, and had an engagement to go to a ball
with her that night, which this lay-over in
terfered with.
“So he said very quickly, “No they ain't,”
and when I looked surprised, lie says, “I’m
the superintendent of this road, and I tell
you you’ve time to get over this bit of sin
gle truck and have three minutes to spare
before the down train reaches it. I have]
calculated uud know.”
“I’ve got my printed orders, Mr. Super
intendent,” says I, and he broke right in—
“ Never mind your printed orders, I order
you to go ahead.”
“Well, I wouldn’t, and he was awfully
mud, and swore that I shouldn’t run a week
longer on the road. Probably after he had
cooled down ho would have never said a
word about the matter, for he was clearly in
the wrong. Three minutes is too close a
shave ou time when six or seven hundred
people’s lives are interested, and regular j
printed orders are to be obeyed till other]
regular printed orders are issued. But 1
thought at first he’d complain to the Presi
dent, and I was bound to have the first talk
if possible.
“The President heard my story, and sent
for the superintendent. He denied that he
hud ordered me at all, or made any threats,
but said that he had told me I had ten min
utes to spare. So it was a question of ver
wity, and I began to think I would bo sent
back to run my train, and that running a
train ou that road wouldn’t bo my business
very long.
“All at once a gentleman who had be?n
sitting with a newspaper held in front of his
face, at the back of the office came forward.
“Mr. President,” said he; “I happened to
be standing by these two men when they
had that talk. The conductor is right and
the other man lies. If the train had gone
on I had made up my mind to walk back to
the last station; the chance of an accident
seemed so great. ”
“Then the President was mad.”
“Why good heavens!” said he, “my wife,
and family were on that train. Mr. Super
iiiteiulant, go and draw your wages to the
first of next month, and leave the road now!”
"But sometimes a conductor is put in such
n position that the rules won’t guide him.
The l. qiousibility is very great. I remem
ber mice being so placed, and I thought at
the time that my hair ought to have turned
white tli.it niirht with anxiety.
“It was when the Hudson River Railroad
vis just built. There was no telegraph
ihi 11 . and everything «as
,puli' primitive compared to what it is now.
i'ln flagmen were on a sort of a strike about
those days, too, so that you trusted to luck
for O' running. I was running a sort of u
■ 1 tween New York and Pough-
L epsit then. Banning an “express” is
mil' ll ph .-anter than running a "way,” you
may easily imagine.
‘ Au express sometimes don’t stop for an
hour ut time, and after you ve worked your
coaches mce. you have nothing to do but to
sit down and earn your money that easy,
wav. Hun. when you reach the next stu-'
tiou. if your brakemen mind their business
they oin : il you how many passengers have
P , r n' > ii oaeh, and then you are always
able ; h them out. because they liavu’t
ti settled air of old passengers. But a way
train 1 actor has much harder work.
a i ran the train out of New York
,on, uft. oil, and had for the driver of the
train a \ . n who was famous for the accurate
wav m w hich he would come up to lus sta
t.oti' 11 would stop any named coach al
most to a foot where he said he would, but
on t.us tv asion lie seemed to have very poor
luck He ran past his stations and had to
back i wn. and then again he would stop so
short that the engine would be in front of
tin ion and the rear coach an eighth of a
mile back, and it rainiug hard, too. Then
h- .1 start up again just as the passengers
were getting out. So we kept running be
hind time all the while. There was a sort
of lightning express came out of New York
about an hour after us, and we were gradu 1
ally working back into its time.
”\\o got near Fishkiil, and having made
an awful bad shot at a depot, I said to the ,
baggage master: ••Mac!' seems to have bad i
luck at making his stations to-day. Wonder
what s the matter?”
"I'h. baggage master turned around to 1
me quickly, and said:
ilaek "U drunk*.'* 0 luiOW I think, I think ]
“It can’t be," says I, “I never saw him
touch n drop of liquor or smell of it in anv
wav. ”
“That’s so,” said th- man, “but I think
he s drunk to -day. E ‘ was in this car a lit
tle while ago, and he j -eked up all thebrake
m“U s lanterns and slu.;g them in a bundle
at me. I dodged and -hey went back to the
engine.”
I didn’t like tile iile: of a drunken engi
neer, but had to laugh at the fate of the laii
tenis. If I iiad know;, how I was going to
groan over their fate fc >on, I would not have
laughed then.
“When I got above Fishkill, I thought
j 1 and let those who got in at one of the little
; stations ride free to tbs next, while I rode
jon the engine and investigated. So I got
!°n the “Corning,” an l Mack looked black
.•nough, instead of civd as usual. I joked
him about his bad luc- in making his sta
tions, and he growled out a curse. I asked
him if knew how nearly he had got back in
ti the lightning expn-w time, and ho said
he knew his own tininess. The man was
evidently drunk and t iriy. I happened to
to put my hand down under the cushion of
the seat and felt a bottle. Palling the cork
out I smelled whi'-kv and quietly threw it
overboard. But Mai l saw rue and cursed;
me for destroying hi- property. “What did
j you throw that bot. e away for; it wasn’t
your rum?” said he, tt the end of an awful'
swear.
“I’ll tell you why,’said I; “I’m coniuc
tur of this train, uud you are too drunk to
do your business right, and you’ll get worse
and wor.se if you had a bottle.” <
Then he grinned a savage sort of a grin,
anil quieted down inti a silent state, but he
looked dangerous at> at the eyes.
“You’re conductor of this train, are you?
I'll show you howmtuh you have to do with
. running it,” says he, and began to ‘slow up,’
and we behind time already, yon know. I
did not know exactly what to do—we were
getting dangerously i.ear the lightning ex
press time—and whil- 1 was debating, he
suddenly “blew bruins,” with a fiendish
chuckle, and stopped at a station that trains
never stopped at W ore. I looked at my
watoh, and determined to send a brakeman
back with a lantern and stop the express.
Just then a thought struck me that made my
hair stand on end. There wasn’t a lantern
on the train—the drunken beast had smashed
them all. There wasn’t a soul at the station, ;
which was miles away from its village; the
express didn’t stop b fore it reached Pough
keepsie, so that J couldn't leave word to
caution, anil just tin i I heard its whistle a
mile or two back, i’he engineer heard it
too and laughed a dii-Oolical laugh.
That decided me. 1 caught up a wrench
and hit him back of die ear and he dropped
like dead. I dragged his body (I did not
know then whether ] was handling a eoip.se
or not) off the eugde, and threw it down
by the roadside and imped ou the engine.
“Jimmy,” said I, the express is after us.
Mack smashed all th lanterns—so we can’t
stop her. Our only hance is running away
from her —so cram ii the wood and I’ll open
everything.”
I knew by observation, how to open and
how to shut off, but of course could not
1 . At.. Till f. 1 T
graduate the speed like a professional. 1
‘opened everything’ you may be sure
and away we jump 1. It was a curious
chase. To be huntel by a locomotive don’t
fall to the lot of ever.- one. Our engine was
not so powerful a on as the express engine,
anil our train was juite as long, so we!
crammed in the fil l and depended upon
high pressure for oir salvation. Os course
I never thought for i moment of stopping
that side of Poughfeepaie, so we speeded
past the stations all ighted with wondering
faces.
Just after passing the second, the gong on
the engine struck— someone had pulled the
safety rope. The fireman’s hand went in
stinctively to the whistle to “blow brakes,”
but I caught it. It was the most anxious
moment of my life. If I did not mind the
the signal and something was wrong and an
accident should oeci r, I should always be
blamed, even if I didn’t blame myself. But
if I stopped, the espress might—probably
would —run right in-o us. The pull didn’t
sound professional—like a brakeman’s. It
probably was a jerk it the rope by a passen
ger, who had been carried past his station—
so I’d chance it.
“All this w ent through my mind like light
ning, as you may imagine—one think quick
ly ou such occasions—and I caught the fire
man’s arm. He lnui never heard of disobey
ing the gong, and stared. I was too excited
to speak, but pointed to the fire and he put
in more wood quietly.
Well, to make a long story short, I never
I “blew brakes,” till tne engine was opposite
the station. Then I shut off’, blew one
whistle aud went sliding up the road. Just
as we stopped, the express, whose station
whistle I Lad heard just behind me came up
ito the depot, and stopped where the trains
usually do. If I hail minded the gong or
stopped in front of the depot, I’d been
smashed.
“You see there wu no way to do but to
run for it. We hadn’t a red light for the
rear car; wo hadn’t o lantern, nor couldn’t
get one to send buck to signal; the flagmen
were on a strike, aud the express did not
i top anywhere till i’ reached Poughkeepsie,
and she had got so dose on to us, when the
engineer cut up as le did, that we couldn’t
stop at a station and send a man back. Be
fore he ctmld have got far enough away,
they’d have beeu so dose that they couldn’t
have 'broke up,’ in time, but would have
come right iuto us.
“I didn’t know whether I had killed Mack
or not, and took the ‘owl train’ back and
found him all right as regards death, but
very sick from the di > I had given him.
“The company gam me this watch when
they heard of it.”

IMPORTANT TO FARMERS!
REMARKABLE HISTORY!
IN THE YEAR 1864 MR. D. W. RAMSDELL, OF VERMONT. DISCOVERED A SINGLE GRAIN
of an oat in a package of peas that had been sent from the Agricultural Department at Washington.
Struck with its large and plump appearance he was induced to plaut it in his garden. The matter had
almos^ passed from his memory, until his attention was called to a wonderful clump of stalks which
were putting forth their foleage so luxuriantly as to attract unusual curiosity. It was earefullv protected
and proved by its thrifty growth aud great productiveness, that it was anew and remarkable species of
this cereal. The next year further experiments were made by himself and others, with the 2700 grains
produced the first \ ear, when it developed still more astonishing powers of growth and productiveness,
and the historv of the “Agricultural Wonder," as it was then called, began to till the columns of the
newspapers. From this point its success has continued until it has overcome the current sensation of
the .Agricultural World. What is still more remarkable, is the fact that its origin is wrapped in unfath
omable mystery. From its association with the peas, which was called Norway Teas, the new oat was
named the Norway Oat. Later developments, however, show that no such variety is known in that coun
try, nor in any part of Europe. Last season they were tested iu every State and Territory of the United
States, aud many packages were sent to Europe, and reports from all sections stamp it as the most im
portant improvement known In tbe history of Agriculture.
The Norway Oat will grow a profitable crop on soil where other kinds will not grow, while on any
land it will produce from two to three times as many as any other known oat, of much heavier aud better
quaiity. Iu some respects its greatest success has been in the South. We append a few letters from
well-known Agriculturalists which will prove interesting :
ONE HUNDRED PER CENT. BETTER.
Knoxville, Tenn., August 12, 1869.
Gentlemen: I have no hesitancy in saying that, after a careful examination of the Norway Oats, made
whilst growing in the field, and since harvested, I .am satisfied that their introduction will be attended
with gieat benefit to our farmers. The increase in the yield is fully 100 percent, over the other varieties,
and the quality is also better. The great strength of tlie straw preventing, to a great extent, lodging,
| especially adapts these oats to this latitude where severe wind storms are not unusual during harvest
season. Yours,
W. P. ELLIOT, of S. H. Davis & Cos., Graiu Dealers.
OVER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY BUSHELS FROM AN
ACRE.
The following two letters are from one of the most prominent and widely known planters in the South
west.
Chattanooga, Tenn., July 31, 1569.
D. IU Ramsdell:
Deak Sir—About the first of February last I ordered from your agents in New York five bushels of
your Norway Oats. I received them about tbe first of February, and sowed them immediately on fin
acres of Tennessee River land, and ent them about the fifteenth of July I think when thrashed 1 shall
have about ODe hundred and forty bushels to the acre. Tbe average height of the oats was over five feet
six in--ties. The heads will average from eighteen to twenty-two inches in length, witli from live to six
hundred grains to the head. Tbe representations in your circular of last year fall far below my crop ol
this year, iu fact, they surpass anything on this Continent, and are well adapted to this climate aud soil.
I am satisfied they are an improvement of vast importance to the country.
Very respectfully, etc., JNO. L. DIVINE.
SECOND LETTER.
Chattanooga, Tenn., August 8, 1869.
I). TV' Ramsdetl :
Dear Sir—Since my last I have thrashed my crop, they have turned out something more than one hint,
dred and Jifty bushels of oats to the acre. 1 tried a dozen sheafs taken as they come from the stack; the
yield was four bushels and one pint to the dozen or over one-fourth bushels to the sheaf. Owing to the hard
weather oue-third of my oats froze out. We have had the longest and most disastrous drought we ever
had in this country, having no rain, scarcely, since May first, if we had had an ordinary season I would
undoubtedly made tioo hundred bushels per acre. If I live, next season, I will give your oats a fair test. 1
do not write this for advertising or publication as I have none for sale; what I spare will be gratuitious
to my f.iends. I believe I ean excel anything of the oat kind in the world w T ith this seed next ve*r.
Respectfully, yours, JNO. L. DIVINE.
PERFECTLY SATISFIED.
M. Ferguson, Crains Creek, N. C., writes, August 12, 1869;
The season here has been most unfavorable for oats, and I put them on poor ground. I have not I
thrashed them yet, but it is sufficient to say lam perfectly f-atislied with the Norway Oats. I find there
is from three to four times as many kernels on the heads of Norways as there are oii the other varieties.
We generally 60W iu the fall seasou. Will it do to sow these in the fail ?
Note. —We never have knowu of their beiug sown in the fall, but we can see no reason why they will
not do well and even better in some sections.
WAKED UP TOO LATE.
Jno. Liudsay, Patterson, Pa., August 12. 1869, says :
I sowed the bushel of Norway Oats I had of you on one acre of sandy soil, they ripened as soon as my
common oats, yielding eighty bushels per acre. I only regret I did nut buy more s- cd from you. The\
are the wonder of all whosuw them, stalks like rake teeth, and I found three thousand grains from one seed.
They have created a great excitement in this section. My seed is all spoken for, and much inure w ill be
w.nited in this section. Farmers now say they are no humbug, and are sorry they did not buy last year. J
They have ‘‘waked up too late,” that's what the matter.”
Knoxville, August 26, 1869.
Messrs. Hough ct* Church:
Gentlemes —I certify that I have cultivated for other parties thirty-one acres of the R irnsdell Norw ay
Oats the present season, on my farm near Concord Station in this county. I gave them the same culti
vation and the same soil that I gave my black oats. The result has been that the Rarasdcll Nonvay Oats
yielded more than double the black oats. The stalks are very large and strong, the heads yield mort
than double the number of kernels of the ordinary varieties. lam of the opinion that these Outs are
well adapted to the soil and climate of the South generally, and that no farmer should fail to raise them,
and on their richest bottom land if they choose, us the stalk is sufficiently strong to prevent lodging. I
| hope the farmers in this section will not fail to secure at an early day, at least a sufficient amount of seed
to produce seed for sowing their crop of 1871. I shall cultivate no other variety of oats on my farm.
G. W. MABRY.
ADAPTED TO THE SOUTH.
8. H. Harris, Knoxville, Tenn., writes, August 2, 1809 :
I have just harvested seventeen acres of your Norway Oats and have them now iu burn. I have been
a farmer for thirty-five years, during which time I have tested a great many varieties of oats, aud I can
truly say that I have never seen any out in the South that will compete witli yours in productiveness and
stout heavy growth. I consider tliem peculiarly adapted to the soil of the South. lam satisfied that
they will yield at least double that of any other vai iety knowu to us, on the same soil and with the
same culture.
A PROMINENT MISSISSIPPI PLANTER ENDORSES THEM
Captain H. A. Rice, widely known in the South, says :
I sowed one bushel of Norway Oats on about three fourths of an acre. They came up and grew finely.
In fact, the prospect for seventy-five bushels from the sowing was very flattering, until they began to :
head out, when the rats made an attack upon them, and despite ull my attempts lo route them they des
troyed all except a stripe of about two feet arouud the edge of the patch, which I harvested, making
only a little ov» r four bushels. 1 have several heads over eighteen inches in length with stalks over five
feet high. lam satisfied that the heads would average over twelve inches. The stalks were nearly as
large as my little finger, and very succulent, which I think was one cause of the rats Deingso destructive.
Notwithstanding my misfortune I am fully convinced that the Norway Oats are as good ns they are re.p
isented to be by Mr. Ramsdell. I saw no sign of rust. I shall endeavor to select a moie suitable, place
to sow them next year, and not sow them so thick. I noticed a few grains that were not so much
crowded, and I counted as high as fifty-four 6talks from a single grain.
Macon, Miss., August 16, 1869.
Lou 1 8 an a, Mo., August 7, 1869.
The season with us has been too wet for oats. The Norways have been a success. The heavy rains
beat down the common oats so they had to be mowed, while the Norways stood erect, not a single straw'
j having fallen or lodged. lam too well pleased with them to sell a kernel, even ut ten dollars a bushel,
w hich I could readily do. I shall sow ull I have another year. One of my neighbors sowed seven grains
i on very rich land and harvested one quart.
ARTHUR A. BLUMEK.
NO HUMBUG ABOUT THEM.
Henry Pulernan, Esq., Galesville, N. Y., w r rltes, August 16, 1869: The Norway Oats I had of you are
no humbug, on the contrary, arc all you recommended them to be last year. I sowed on clay loam soil,
aud can beat ull my neighbors about here for oats of any kiud. No fanner can afford to raise any other
kind if he can get these*even at ten dollars per bushel.

“THE WAY TO HEAVEN IS OPEN TO ALL.”
Selma, Ala., July 26, 1869.
D. tV. Ramsdell it Cos :
Dear Sirs; —In reference to those Norway Oats, we prepared one acre to suit ourselves in a field of;
sixtv acres of different kinds of oats, and we have cut of eight thousand pounds of Norway Oats and
straw. It is now stacked up and we can’t tell what the yield will be until thrashed. We enclose a piece
of the butt or lower end of one of the stalks. They grew six feet high on an average, with broad leaves
resembling corn blades and heads about one foot” long. We had an excellent season for oats and fine
crops, but the Norways were much the best. We propose to show what we do to all our farmers who
wish to see, and then let them think and act for themselves The way to Heaven is open to all the world,
but very few take the trouble to steer by that compass, and it is so with farmers.
We have at this time a spleudid crop of cotton ; our neighbors have very poor indifferent ones, but
if it suits them, being none of our business, we shall try not to lose much sleep over it.
Yours truly, GEO. O. BAKER & CO.
FORTY-FIVE BUSHELS FROM ONE-HALF BUSHEL OF SEED.
Newburgh, Md., July 29,1869.
Gentlemen : I purchased half a bushel of your Norway Oats from Jones & Clark, New York. They
were injured by the drought to a considerable extent, but I find on measuring that I have a yield of
forty-five bushels from the half bushel of seed. They ripen about the same time as the common oat and
are much heavier. Very respectfully yours,
P. A. L. CONTEE.
FROM COLONEL JAMES M. TOOLE,
Well known throughout the Southwest.
Knoxville, East Tenn., August 2, 1869.
Mr. D. W. Ramsdell:
Sir: Having for the past thirty years of my life watched with interest the growth and prosperity of
the country in the development of new inventions, new appliances, and consequently increasing sources
of supply, I could not but desire an opportunity to test the merits of the Gray Norway Oats, originated
and introduced by your perseverance and now practically illustrated by wondering thousands, and which
must soou add millions yearly to the value of this important product; all the result of placing one grain
;in a rich and secluded spot in your garden on the 2d of May, 1864. Truly we live in a great country and
[in no common age. I procured several bushels of tins seed lust year, and gave them out to gentlemen
ito sow for me with a view of testing them in our soil and climate, and while growing and harvesting,
they have been the wonder and admiration of all who have seen them. They were sown 15th to 20th of
March, and the yield is three times greater IJiuu that of other oats in the same land. Parties who have
not hesitated to pronounce them a humbug are now w illing to accord to them all you claim. They over
come a difficulty in the production of small grains in this country on our rich lauds, being capable of the
highest culture on deepest soil, by their great develomenV of strength in staiks to support a correspond
ing length and weight of heads. Mauy new and good varieties have been introduced into the South but
have not the strength of stjck to support them and lodge or fall before the grain matures. In saying to
i you that I believe that the Ramsdell Norway Gray Oats is to work still more astonishing results, and
occupy a proud ami envious place in the prosperity of our extended country, I sav no more than what 1
believe the future will attest. I wish to sow two or three hundred acres of them next year.
Respectfully, yours, JAMES M. TOOLE.
THANKS IN THE NAME OF THE FARMERS OF EAST TEN
NESSEE.
D. IV. Ramsdell :
Dear Sir —I desire to give you a brief account of the success of the Norway Oats in this section.
First, however, allow me to thank you most heartily, in the name of the fanners of East Tennessee, a
few of whom have become practically acquaintc 1 with your Oats this season through the agency of Dr.
.J. P. Greves, Ralph Church, Esq., and myself, for your perseverance in propagating and developing
their wonderful merits.' I became interested with Dr. Greves last spring In the introduction of forty
live bushels in the vicinity of Knoxville. I confess I had some misgivings as to their success South,
notwithstanding their superior qualities over all other varieties seemed to be thoroughly established iu
tlie North, for I had observed some doubts expressed by members of the New York Farmers’ Club as to
, their being grown successfully in the South. In order, however, to make a full and fair test of what
they would do in our climate and soil, we concluded to scatter them among a number of planters in
different localities and on different kinds of lands. Hence lam enabled to speak of their success on a
variety of soils, having furnished setd to twelve planters in this and adjoining counties. The various
crops having now been harvested, and having seen a largeportion of them since and before the harvest
ing, I am prepared to say that the Norway Oats have proved an eminent success, altogether exceeding
my expectations, and that, in my opinion, they possess ail the merits you claim for them, and that they
are admirably adapted to the soil ami climate of this section.
Most respectfully yours, CHARLES RICE.
Knoxvii.ee, Tenn., July 31,1869.
THE OPINION OF A GARDENER OF FORTY YEARS
EXPERIENCE.
D. W. Ramsdell, Esq. : Chattanooga, August 6, 1H69.
Dear Sir —I have been a gardener for forty years, five of which was in the employ of Hon. Henry
Clay, of Lexington. I voluntarily say that I never saw as good Oats as those grow n from your seed by
Mr.* Divine, of this place, and I advise our people to sow no other kiud.
Respectfully yours, WM. GEORGE.
A VOICE FROM~KENTUCKY.
Henkyville, Kt., August 11, ’69.
I sowed broadcast on sandy soil, red clay sub-soil. Ido not think more than one-half of the seed
came up, and one-half of these froze out in tbe successive hard freezes about the last of February.
Those that survived had a luxuriant growth. There was more stalks from one seed than I ever saw with
any other kind, and, what was most surprising, ail came to maturity. The stalks are large at the
ground and gradually taper up to the head, which is very heavy. All things considered, I think the
yield will be enormously large. Re&pectiully yours,
J. C. SNEED.
