AbAOTATIdlt OF CLIMATE TO ACRICUL b'iisvqoi ^•.•TUB*.-!'i-' fne^d— Scientific men have determined that the successful Cultivation of Indian' corn requires a temperature of $7°'for »ruly, and of 656 fcr the summer—^ Minaesota -Iras A summer temperature of W*^ «id a temperature for July of "7^°.- "The cultivation of Wheat i« Said to" require a mean temperature of from 62°' to tJ5^ Hbr twx of the summer months Thus it will be seen that the climate of Minnesota is Well adapt ed to the Successful cultivation of air the cereals.' io tin&a?mzi.l h»-^.\'_ The fact established by climatologists that "the cultivated plants yield the greatest products -near the northern most limit at which they %nr grow." finds abundant illustration in the-pro Auctions of Minnesota: It is a well knqwn fact that cereals raised in the southern latitude, are far inferior in quality to the same kind produced in the cooler climate of the north. Ooro, which grows to the hight of thirty feet in the West Indies, yields but a few kernals on a spongy cob. In the South ern States tho stalks grow fifteen feet high, and yield fifteen bushels per acre in highly cultivated sections of the north. I from eighty to one hundred bushels are token from stalks seven or eight feet in hight. 'The warm, early springs of milder latitudes, develop the juices, and push forward the leaf and stalk, at the ex-above pense of tho seed whilst the cool, late spring weather of the north cheeks this rank luxuriance of leaf and atom, and reserves the' ehief' development to the ripening period. Minnesota, with its peculiar climate, combining the warm summers uf the southern of the more Middle States, with the cool, backward springs of New England, exceeds the latter section in the quantity of its pro ducts, because its springs are cool, and hold back the growth of the plant.— ^M One of these scouts, Minnesota pursues his work with scarce- im.i o'e\ock\yeuT. The .spring and summer rains fal1 gentler showers, sufficient to q»f ke» ^egeta^em an#' support itf g^J^n JiiHofJrfle in Iouiana, Illinois, ajidothjit localities more abundantly supplied with moisture, spring plowing is deferred for weeks on account of un timely rains, and harvesting postponed for the needed sunshine, the farmer of ly,the interruption of a single.day of rainy or muddy weather. To this comparative dryness of the summer air, doubtless, is to be attribu ted the almost entire exemption of Min nesota from rust, mildew, and other ^asoalticM of the harvest field, so com mon in regions with a warm, moist cli mate. WIN©.—From observations made at Fort Snell.ng during a period of twelve years, it is found that the yearly aver age of southerly winds was 108 days. If to this is added the number of days in the year in which currents came from the southeast and southwest, it would increase the «um to 172 days. The prevalence of these southerly winds no doubt addsvery much to the warmth of the 'spring and summer monthe of Minnesota. FBOST.—From records kept at Fort ttidgely,/Minnesota, it appears that the latest frost in the spring of 1854 occur red on May lth the earliest frost in the fall of that year was on the 4th of October. In 1855, the latest spring frost was Maj 8th and the earliest fall frost the 27th ot September, In 1859, late and- early frosts pre vailed throughout most of the Western States, of which the commissary of sta tistics, inv his report for 1861, says: 'The.heayy frost of June, 1859,which was very destructive to wheat and corn in Aew York, Ohio and Michigan, and that of September, killing corn and po tatoes in Illinois and Wisconsin, was hardlv felt at St. Paul. The first kill iog trust ot that year was on~'tte night of the sixth of October,.at which date corn and potatoes-were full} ripe, and the former nearly^aifyested." In August last ^1863)' severe frost visited: the Western and Middle States, doing immense damages to 'the corn crop: From reports emanating from the Agricultural Department of .the Smithsonian Institute, it appears that the ravages of this -frost extended to New York, Pennsylvania Ohio, Mich igan, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Minneso ta,. Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. Thus it appears that Minnesota, to my the least, is quite as exempt from the ravages of frost as the other Western States. It has been noticed that a greater degree of cold is required to produce frost in Minnesota' than in plaees fur ther east. A fall of the mercury which here would be harmless to the tender est vine, would be destructive to die crops of Illinois and Ohio. -•:•:. This impunity to lowtemperatureis owing in part to the great vitality of the plants which mature in our short, -hotsummers, partly to the heat-retain ing nature-of the soil, but chiefly to the dryness of the air, which prevents that rapid radiation whieh produces frost.
