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.” The Wondeis of the Age !

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.

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. Those who put in this Seed the coming season will reap a rich harvest. In the sale of their crops for seeding purposes. It will bring a high price for some years to come.
