New Industry- Broom corn is likely at no dis tant day to revolutionize the broad stntt' supply of the world, A pro cess has been discovered bv which the fi est aDd most delicious flour cun be made from the seed to the lit nt of one-half its weight, and leave the other half a valuable food for making beef and milk. The average yield per acre is three hundred bushels, or thirty thou sand pounds h ve been secured. Nor does it exhaust the soil as In dian corn, from the fact that it feeds from the deepest soil, and as similates its food from a cruder state. It belongs to the same ge nus as the sweet cane commonly known as sorghum, which as an ar ticle of food is growing rapidly in public esteem, and from the seed of which a most uutricious flour can be obtained.

Tuis is the en tering wedge to the most important measure of agricultural reform that lias been inaugurated in Georgia in the last, half century. There are portions of the State, especially tho range country of Southern Georgia, and some of the mountain counties of North Georgia, in which the stock law would be a hard ship, but it has become a necessity in the farming and planting regions of the State, in somo of which tho timber suitable for making rails is nearly exhausted, Tho adoption of tho stock law in all except the range and mountain counties is onj ly n questiou of tirao, boing a ne-. cessity which must impress itself upon the minds of all t liuking men. It is wise therefore, for all farmers in the farming and plant ing eounuos of tho State to pre pare for the stock law iu advance of its adoption by planting perma nent pastures in the grasses best adapted to their soils and climate. Foi information on this subject they are referred to fie ward's Manual on grasses and forage plants in (ho South, anew edition of which has just been issued, and the chapter on grasses and forago plants in the Manual ou Cattle issued from this department in 1880. The recom mendations already made in this report as to sowing small grain tor soiling and for pasture, are appro priate to those comities iu which the stock law will go iuto cifuet next January. A whale recently wan stranded on mi outlying point ol tho ie and of Walls, Orkney, men, women and children rushed to the spot with knives, pitchforks, and moro prim itive weapons, and cut the monster in a feai fill manner until it was sup posed that life was extinct. Ropes were afterward procured uod fast ened to the whale, and boats were proceeding to low it into tho liar, bor. With tho rising tide the whale floated; but astheboaU were being rowed away in triumph with tho prize the whale suddenly took a fresh lease of life and started sea ward, in tu>-n towing the boats. It was only after being dragged over three miles that the men suc ceeded in cutting tho ropes aud saving their boats from being swamped. l’liis lias nut i-eou u vary guy season at Newport.
