11 S O a O E O A jam a. SWISSHBLM, aeiron PBOPBISTOB. THURSDAY, DEC. «&* UQ O From the North Wutern Farmer. Bxperienoe in Breaking Prairie "V--Best Time to Do It. No breaking ought to be done after the 15 th of July. None should have been cofiunftoced prior to the l.Qth of May, or at )du»t before the grass had well started, I "hatfe seen a great difference, in twa?ry patohes of breaking that was done at peri ods of four days apart. A man had a email patch of ap acre and a half, the half of -which he broke the 1st of VJtfay.—r Fdtir days later he broke the remainder, ar|d^planted the whole to ebtrni Through* oujfute summer tho earlier breakitfg'wiwi fu|t*of grass and weeds, and the tatter breaking almost free. There had been wicm showers and hot weather in that iulerim of four days, and the grass had git a good start, and When the plow turn ed the sod over, the new roots Which made up the whole energy of the grass were scorched in the sun, and the grass all died, likewise the weeds. Jime breaking is the best. Well, now for tho reason. I am not sure that I know the reason any more than does the "man in the moon." Well, suppose none of us know the reason. I believe we all know it is a fact. I is our business and duty to warn newcomers not to injure their land by plowing in the fall or very early in the spring. Several have fooled themselves in that way, and now since they have become better informed, they regret that the people did not tell them of it. Suffiee it to say, that I know of several pieces—some were broken in April, some in September, October, and even November—and not a piece o* them all is as productive as they should be. Some of them have been broken three or four vears,,' and the sods are not all rotten yet suppose that after a series of years the laud would acquire as much fertili ty as the surrounding land broken in better season but we cannot afford to lose- our labor for one year or-five years,'--through ignorance, *or want of a little information on the subject. Four years ago I broke a little the latter part of May, aud some the latter part of August. Next year the crop on the lat ter was only about half that on the earli «r breaking. Three yeare ago I broke a quantity in the latter part of May and tho early part of June, which has ever since borne excellent crops. Two years ago, I broke forty acres for another man, commencing in April, and finishing about the 20th of June. That which was broken in April and the 1st of May, produced last year, 12 bushels' of wheat per acre, and it was the poorest crop in the neighborhood.— The wheat on it this year does hot look half so well as that on the land broken in June. Last year I broke for myself a few acres in the early part of Majr. I have wheat on that strip this year, and it is not near •o promising as that broken in June. Thus have I honestly come to the con elusion that prairie I do not mean hazel brush land or grub land should be bro ken between the 16th of May and the loth of June. I believe the same princi ples which apply to this subject would al so apply to the breaking of timothy sod.— L. N COUNTRYMAN, Miningerj Minne sota. Mrs. Abraham Lincoln, the wife of the next President of the United States, .is the subject of an interesting par agraph in a letter we find in the New York World, written from Springfield.— The future lady of the White House," remarks the correspondent, is, perforce, a personage to whom just now the liveli est interest attaches. That she will adorn and grace even the exalted position to which she bids fair to succeed, none who have had the fortune to see her can'doubt. She is yet apparently upon the advantage ous side of forty, with a face upon which dignity and sweetness are blended, anil an air of cultivation and refinement to which familiarity with the courtly drawing rooms of London, or the aristocratic saloons of Paris, would hardly lend an added graco. She is admirably calculated to preside over our Republican court. I one were permitted so far to describe her personal appearance as to meet half way the re spectful curiosity which is generally felt upon the supject, tho description would be, that she is slightly above the medium stature, with brown eyes, clearly cut fea tures, delicate, mobile, expressive: rather distinguished in appearance than beauti ful, conveying to the mind generally ah impression of sell-possession, stateliness and elegance. I distrust my own opin ion upon subjects of this kind, but I concur in the belief prevalent thereabout that she will make as admirable a leader of the stately dames and lovely bemoiaelles of the National Capital, as the. most fas tidious martinet could desire." AVe can safely assure an anxious public that Mrs.»' Old Abe will make just a3 good a Presidentess as Mr. Old A will a President—-and-'that vrll be A No. 1, DAGUKRROTYPE LIGHTNING.—O the 16th of August last, a flash of light ning struck a windmill at Lappion, in France, in which there was a female, who was killed by the electric fluid, and on whose body there was left the picture of a neighboring tree, with all its branches and leaves' complete.

O W N S S-A.I3STO? O O 3 St. Cloud is the point at which the Red Riv or trains cross the Mississippi on thoir way to St. Paul, which proves it to be the natural Junction of laud travel between these two great arteries of trade. It is at the present head of steam navigation on the Mississippi. Boats run regularly, during the Spring and early Summer months, from St. Anthony to this place,- (I .: .••), 13 -•.-.»m "•..-..

Itrthe sum mer of '55 a claim cabin was built on the spot where wc now write, a. good saw mill, the frame of a large Hotel and eight other dwell ings were put up that summer. This last fall there were three hundred andthirty-two votes polled in tho precinct. Not the votes of Indi ans or Half Breeds, for there are none here.— A majority of the inhabitants of the country are hardy Germans, with sturdy wives aud children cultivating the soil and working at mechanical employments. The subsoil is sandy and although the soil is from one to three feet deep, a rich black loam supporting a rank vegetation, the drainage is so perfect and the air so pure that breathing is a perpetual pleasure. As yet, our physi cians have discovered no diseases peculiar to the climate, no indeg-mious complaint except the "Minnesota Appetite", which requires one fourth more treatment than a modest Pennsyl vania or Ohio attack of a corresponding dis ease. Any body who wants to drink whiskey in peace had better not come here, for the treaty by which the land wa9 acquiredfrom the Sioux forbids its introduction and the Legislature has passed a law enforcing that provision but people of moderate means andindustrious hab who have children to_ educate, will find few places where the opportunity for correct moral training, healthy development of muscle, and the means of pecuniary independence are bet ter combined. .'" 1 There areimmense tracts ofTine lyingabove, from which the mills at St. Paul, St. Anthouy, and the Minnesota Valley are supplied. These employ a large and ever-increasing force of men, horses snd oxen, who are to be supplied with provisions, clothing and feed. The soil is waiting for an opportunity to produce unlimi ted quantities of food, without troubling the farmer crushing clods while the Mississippi rom St. Paul to Little Palls can afford to turn mill at almost any point and has water pow er enough to do the manufacturing for a Con inent In some of the river town3 back, plaGes that will be pleasant villages, lots can be had gratis by those who will build and live on them.-— this, in places where a house can be built for fifty dollars, that would be a palace compared to the dens rented in large cities for 4 and 5 dollars per month, while the lot, with only the aid of a grubbing hoe and a few days labor, would bring vegetables to feed a family, and every township has 600 acres appropriated to the support of schools. Seventy thousand acres are appropriated to a State University. A fine buildinghas already been eroolort for the use of that institution. It situated a St. Anthony, built of stone on an eminence commanding a view of the falls, and no State in the Union has a better foundation for a good system of popular education. No other prairie .State is so well timbered as Min nesota and no State more abundantly supplied with clear water. In the country surrounding St. Cloud and as far North and West as we have any reliable account, settlers find no difficults in locating land on a running stream or trany t-arcnt lake with plenty of timber at hand for building, fencing and fuel, and as the land on the West side of the Upper Mississippi-is only open to pre-emption, there is iittle opportunity for speculators, and settlers have assurance of neighbors and that rapid increase in the value of their lands,and in social advantages which arise from the system of land.in.limited quan tities to actual settlers.

Fuel for the. labor of cutting and haul ing off the ground and there is no likelihood of the supply running out soon as the "Big Woods" extend from this place some twenty miles or more, down this side of the river and from eight to twelve miles back. Our prairies are a)l dotted with strips of wood land, "Oak Openings which just look like old orchards, dense thickets of plum trees bearing delicious fruit, grapevines, doing likewise, thousands of acres of hazel bushes and strawberry vines,en gaged in the same business while some hun dred acres are in the cranberry trade and turn out an article, which for quantity and quailty connot be excelled. The blackberries red rasp berries and hops tack up their shingles in the woods and seldom diesappoint the most san guine expectations of their customers. is still land ten or fifteen miles back which set tiers can get, at government price, hy building cabin and living on it until it comes into market. Actual settlers can buy lots here at from one to five hundred dollars, and specula tors can have the same lots at from five to fif-are een hundred The country around St. Cloud, west of the Mississippi was purchased of the Indians in a treaty made with them by the Hon.- Alexander Ramsey and Luke Lea in 1862 and ratified by the senate the same year./ The Sioux had owned the land from 1827 but had not occupied it,.and it was used as a hunting ground by the Winnebagoes whose land reached within four miles north of St. Cloud. Their country was ceded to the United States by a treaty began with Commissioner Manypeny and concluded at Washington in Feb. 1855 and ratified by the Senate March 8d of tho same year. In Mayhis following they removed to their reservation on the' Blue Earth river and only sinee that time has Stearns County claimed kindred with civil ization.

German Catholics.— The Catholic chapel is here,'and the bell hi longing to it, ig the first church going bell in Stearns County and has also the distinction ot being the first audible inSherburneand Benton oounties which corner on the opposite sjde of the river.. There too is a school kept by a com painy of Benedictine Nuns where music, draw ing, needlework and German are well taught1 by ladies ef polished manners and unusual proficiency..-' -.. •, V. ,' ,, •, Lower town has two protectant churches, in cellent saw mill and plaining mill, sash ftwto ry and of a good flouring mill are this (.mo ment puffing away within half a.dozen rods of our office. We.have from five to six steamboat' arrivals'here -weekly and the smallest proper-' tion of drones we have ever seen in any hive. In the fall of 56 Grasshoppers came tn a eloudand settled down in this and adjoining counties, destroying the greater portion of the crops. They deposited their larva and died. Early in the spring of '57 the young brood came out and made such havoc that serious fears of famine were entertained by a large portion of the people but they left in July,and so many of the late crops survived, that with the full crops Of particular places, where they did not appear, there was a large amount of food. In autumn it became a question wheth er there was enough for winter consumption with what the pooplehad the means of purchas ing from below. The German settlers were generally of the opinion that there wasnot,and tke Priests sent commissioners to Dubuque to ask contributions. When this became known in Lower St. Cloud Indignation meetings were held, and strong resolutions passed condemn ing measure as altogether unnecessary, and one calculated to do the country great injury by preventing emigration in the spring. The Correctness of this view of the case is now pro ven. The third week of May is here, potatoes sell at 25cts. per bushel, corn $1,00, wheat $1,25, oats, 80 cts. and we havo heard of no instance in which any have suffered for want of food while a very large proportion of the emigrants who had last year, designed emigra ting to this point have been deterred by this bugbear cry of famine, and have gone else where. The time is now past at which the Grasshoppers appeared last spring, and the minds of the people are set on rest as the ques -tion of whether they left lavro, last year, be fore they emigrated. It is evident that they went to other localities as they came here to eat, deposit? their eggs and die. There is no sign that they have left any deposits here, and as everybody is putting in a crop .of some thing good to eat, we expect next fall to been umbered with a surplus of the good things of his life, and to inundate St. Anthony Minne apolis and St. Paul, with vegetables and grain fter supplying the Pine regions and the la orers oh the Rail Road.
