The ques- Jjfdrreasted by progressive, minds were these : How imay. J improve uiv stock ? How renovate these fruit iq|*4aotfn out fields ? How improvfel the quality and quantity of wheat, oats, corn, and potatoes raised ? Is thffd 'np' bet lor variety of each one of them, than I now %«'/? What is the best method of cultivation and hfiMreating ? Such have been a few of the earnest en quiries sent forth into the world, and as a very natural those enquiries are being fully answered. Al though men have had the benefit of the experience ot ftgos, they have been obliged to contend with the whims and notions of prejudice, but keeping straight w-ih the path of scientific investigation they have con qdftrcS* are how displaying to the world an im proved system of agriculture. AfoP n g the many celebrated plants, seeds, roots, and ■gtaseek Which have come to us from abroad, the Chinese %igar Cine has taken the highest place in our notice. : benefits which it seems calculated to confer upon us, are 1 national ; from the fact that it may be grown with great profit in nearly all sections of the United States. It ought really to do away with that sectional monopoly in sugar and molasses —large ingredients in the military economy—for if we can raise those neces sarfes~fagTe,"liow much better will it be than to depend upon slave labor for their supply ! it is eminently calculated to be widely known, end as widely cultivated as known, is predicted by all who have ever had anything to do with it. Fields wbieh last year in burdened with wheat or corn, ort>aft,%tfl this be cultivated for the ‘ Cano,’ and the crushing and refining business will go on there on a scale little less than that carried on in the South ern States. * We hail the day when we shall not be compelled da pay sl-25 per gallon for good syrup, or 1 Wan'd'2o cents for good sugar per pound. Farmers will raise their own sugar, and such of them who do not raise it, will get it for a mere moiety of what they have to pay now. Mode of Cultivation. —This is similar to the cul tivation of the common Indian Corn. ‘ Indeed,’ says an Illinoisan, ‘it has as wide a range for profitable growth as Indian Corn.’ We have no doubt it is very imri&hMike it as respects soil, manuring and cultivating. * \fa*e prefer drills running north and south, 3J to 4 feet apart, the seeds pretty thick, to be thinned out to 6 or 8 inches when well started. On a hrge scale it is per haps better to put in hills like corn, to admit of plowing or cultivating both ways. It comes up like grass or oats, and grows slowly at first, but pushes a head rapid ly in.lnland August.’—[American Agriculturist. The 3pil.of Minnesota is certainly well adapted to Cane. It is quick in germinating seeds; Ufcjgte clay surface soils, it does not long contain hu mkHty. - Last year I planted a half pound of the seed in a black friable loam.

One stalk will Lave three or four shoots, each bearing seed, and some of them attaining the size of the parent stem.

It is useless to be contented with our common breeds when so much better may be obtained, at comparatively little cost, when compared with the greater profit yielded. Let us illustrate. Two years ago we obtained a small pig, born in July, of the common stock. We raised it by band, and it grew rapidly. * In the fall we obtained two wore—born in October—a cross of the common and Chinese, about one fourth Chinese blood. So much improvement bad it given to tho common stock, that by spring of the next year the younger pigs had outstriped the older. They required loss food, and were fatter at killing time. Mr. Judd, of Hastings, sold a hog last year of the Berkshire stock, not a year and a half old, which weigh ed 400 pounds. He said it was easily fattened, and brought bim S4O. Mr. McNeff of tho sjme place has a large Berkshire sow and eight pigs, which he will sell for SIOO. When three sacks old the pigs would weigh twenty pounds, and the mother is remarkably long. This may seem a very large price, but we veuture to say that the pigs alone will bring more money ere Sep tember than the price of all, and the breed is invalu able. Mr. Thomas Howes, we learn, intends importing some fine cattlo. This is beginning at the right end. We shall be to learn that men in every section of the County, and not only of the County but of the State are beginning to wake up on the subject of improving stock. lam not an advocate of eating much animal food, yet it must be confessed that we are decidedly a ‘ meat eating people,’ and it will always be so. The cold winter weather demands that we shall use a great deal of highly carbonized food, and people will get it from pork and fat beef. It is an argument that hogs, sheep and eattle may be raised here profitably, the fact that their flesh enters largely into the diet of the inhab tants, and if we reason truly we shall not fail to be con vinced of the truth of this assertion. Will some contribution to the Emigrant Aid Journal inform a subscriber through its columns, the proper time to sow * Millet’—the quantity of seed per acre re quired, &c. ? Should it be cut before the seed ripens for feed ? What proof has be that the millet is superior to bay for horses ? An answer to these inquiries, to gether with such other information as may be of inter est to those unacquainted with its culture, will be glad ly received by, D. B. T. Spring Lake, April 30th, 1858. Useful Hints. Cattle —Do not turn off to early. Oxen are per forming heavy work now; feed them accordingly Cows about this time need especial care and close watch ing. Cellars —Cleanse thoroughly, whitewashing the walls and carrying away all dirt and rubbi-h collected during Winter. Open the windows for ventilation. Door Yards —Clean up the Winter accumulation of chips and dirt, adding the latter to the manure heap Paint or whitewash fences and make everything attrac five and pleasant. A very little work of this kind wil be felt all through the Summer. Houses —Attend to mares with foal, giving them am ple space at night. Have working teams of horses and mules in good condition for heavy labor. ‘ Plow deep while sluggards sleep’—and prepare th( land for planting and sowing. If you own 50 acres o tillable land, make it 75 by going down one half deepei than formerly. The subsoil belongs to you, and you may as well have the benefit of it. Potatoes—Wiiat made them Rot? —Here is one example like thou »and of others. Last Spring a friend of ours planted on his farm at Flatbush, L. 1., six varieties of potatoes, all the same day, on the same soil and manured and treated every way alike. The varie ties were Mercers, Carters, Pinkeyes, Dykemans, a new variety from Claverack, N. Y., and another from Ire land. Of these, the Mercers, Pinkeyes and Dykemans all rotted, while the other three were not, affected. The experiment was on a large scale, and the seed of some varieties was obtained from several distinct localities. Now what made these three varieties alone rot. In other similar experiments the rot has been found in the varieties not affecte * in this instance. Wc are constantly asked how we explain the‘potato rot.’ Am. —We can not explain it at all.—[American Agriculturalist The Heat Prediction which has been going the rouuds, and attributed to Lord Rosse, appears to have been slightly premature ; his lordship has not said tiat we were to have a summer of unequalled heat; he hss exp ref sd no opinion about it. Isaac Fowler, Powler, Postmaster of New York, was elected Grand Sachem in the Tammany Wigwam, in the teeth of the bitterest opposition from Mayor Wood, the friend of Mr. Buchanan. The New York Tribune says: ‘We learn that in consequence of prolonged indisposition, Mr. Samuel Wilkinson has retired from the Albany Evening Jour nal, having sold out his interest to Mr. Thurlow Weed, who will now resume the position of chief editor of that paper.’ Pre-Emption Law. We give below the points which persons wishing to make pre-emptions in this Territory, are required to make to the satisfaction of the officers at the different Land Odiees, in oder to pre-empt, which we will publish from time to time, for the benefit of those coming here to settle !: 1. The settler must never before have bad the benefit of pre-emption under the act. 2. He must not at the time of making the pre-emp tion be the owner of 320 acres of land in any State or Territory in the United States. 3. He must settle upon and improve the land is good faith for his own exclusive use or benefit, and not with the intention of selling it on speculation; and must not make, directly or indirectly, any contract or agreement in any way or manner with any person or persons, by which the title which he may acquire from the United States enure, in whole or in part, to the benefit of any person except himself. 3. He must be twenty-one years of age and a citizen of the United States; or if a foreigner must have de clared his intention to become a citizen before the proper authority 4. He must build a house on the land, live in .it, and make it his exclusive home! and mast be an inhabitant of the same at the time of making application for pre emption. Until lately, a single man might board with his nearest neighbor; but the same is now required of a single as married men, except that if married, the fam ily of the settler must also live in the boose. 6. The law requires that more or less improvement be made on the land, such as breaking, fencing, etc.; but pre-emptions are granted where a half acre is broken and enclosed. , . T. It is necessary that no othet person entitled tbtbe right of pre-emption, reside on the land at the same time 8. No one is permitted to remove from bis own land, and make a pre-emption in the same State or Territory. 9. The settler is required to bring with him to the land office a written or printed application setting forth the facts to his case of the Ist, 2d and 3d requirement here mentioned, with a certificate appended to be signed by the Register and Receiver; and make affidavit to the same. 10. He is also required to bring with him a respect able witness of his acquaintance who is knowing to the facts of his settlement to make affidavit to the 4th, stb, 6th, 7tb and Bth requirements here mentioned, with the same set forth on paper, with a corresponding blank cer tificatc attached to be signed by the Land Offices. I*. The pre eraptor, if a foreigner, must bring with him to the Land Office duplicates of his naturalization papers duly signed by the official from whom they were received. A minor who is the head of a family, or a widow may also pre-empt—their families being required to live on his land. The settler is requested to file a written declaratory statement of his intention to pre-empt before he can pro ceed with his pre-emption. Fees. —lst. The fee required by the Register for fil ing a declaratory statement, is one dollar*. .2d. For granting a pre-emption, the Register and Ro cohef pan receive fifty cents. 3d. For duplicate of the map of any township, one dollar is required of the Register. t* < Enquiry, THE EMIGRANT AID JOURNAL. TO THB PUBLIC. The Beat Speculation of the Day. We present to the public one of the greatest combina tive projects of the day, and we solicit their attention to the particulars. A plain statement of facts will be its best recommendation. Tbe undersigned are the proprietors of the greater part of the Town of Louisville, on the south aide of the Minnesota Kiver, about fifty miles from its mouth. The Town has been laid out about two years, and al ready contains a small population, two stores, a steam grist mill, two steam saw mills, lime-kilns, Ac. Tho un* designed have at a large expenditure of money, bought out the whole town site, together with some of the ad* joining property which they have also laid out as parts of the original town. Tbe site of the town is one of the finest on the Minnesota Kiver. It possesses an excel lent landing, and the land on which the town is built rises gradually and beautifully from tho river, gentle undulations of tho prairie overlooking each other as they recede, forming one of the hundsomest scenes one can find in the whole valley of the Minnesota. It is already the centre of a considerable trade, and would in the or dinary course of events, and without the assistance of tbe enterprise detailed below, have gone on steadily to success. The undersigned have, however, bought it for another object besides securing it for its intrinsic merits. They are interested in the City of Nininger on the Mississippi Kiver. They are interested in seeing the Nininger and St. Peter Western Kailroad built, and they are willing to hold out unexampled inducements to tbe public to subscribe to the Stock of that Koad. Hence at a heavy outlay they have secured the town site of Louisville, and now make the following proposal, a proposal they believe to be unprecedented in liberality, and in benefits to those who may take advantage of it. They offer to tell lot» in the Town of Louitville for ten dollars euch , to such parties at shall subscribe'for Stock in the Nininger and St. Peter Western Railroad Company. The lots will be selected by the purchasers in the or der in which they subscribe for Stock, those first sub scribing having the first choice. To prevent, however, those subscribing last from having nothing left but re fuse lots, the amount of Railroad Stock to be subscribed for each lot will be apportioned according to its location: the most valuable will require two or even three shares of Stock to the lot while on the other hand, of the or dinary lots two or three lots may be sold for ten dollars each, as the accompaniment ef one share of Stock. In this way it wi'l average over the whole town one share of Railroad Stock to one lot, those taking average lots, neither extremely valuable or extremely inferior, will get them at otic share per lot, Those running into ex tremes must pay more; it may, however, be said in a general sense, that a share for a lot will be the terms upon which the lots will be sold. The shares of Kailroad Stock will cost One Hundred Dollars each. As the payment of this amount on a number of shares m’ght be a serious obstacle to many parties joining the Company, we have for the benefit of all, arranged the Stock so that the sum of One Hundred Dol lars is paid in small monthly instalments of Five Dollars every month for the period of twenty months, at the expiration of which time the One f. undred Dollars will have been paid in full. Thus the subscription for Stock will fall lightly upon tbe subscribers, and will form no impediment to the purchase of lots even by the poorest. There is no man who cannot buy one or two lots at ten dollars each, and pay from his earnings, however limit ed, five dollars per month. Let us inquire next as to the Railroad Company in which tbe Stock is to be subscribed. The Nininger and St. Peter Western Kailroad Company was chartered at tbe last Session of the Territorial Legislature. Copies of tbe Charter will be given, together with an Account Book for their payments, to the subscribers for Stock. Tbe road proposed to be built will extend in its first section from Nininger to Louisville,a distance of thirty five miles. It will run through an extremely fertile and rich agricultural country, already in a considerable de gree brought under cultivation. We can say without hesitation that this section of country contains some of tbe finest farms in Minnesota. What next ? This road will terminate its first section at Louisville, at the foot of the rapids of tbe Minnesota Kiver. It will thus* tap .he trade of the great Minnesota Valley, the greatest artery of the wealth of this State. Who can doubt that this road once built, the whole trade of that great valley now tributary to St. Paul would deflect eastward to Mississippi Kiver at Nioinger City. Why? Be cause by thirty five miles of Kailroad travel accomplish ed iu a few minutes more than one hour, it could save itself a whole day’s boating, of more than seventy miles along a shallow aud uncertain river, and a tedious tran shipment at St. Paul. Any person glancing at the map will see that the rivers Mississippi and Minnesota form together a- peninsula; boating at present is around its whole length ) our Railroad on the contrary passes at the base of it, catting off thus one half or more of the distance, besides substituting tbe iron horse for the slow steamboat. Will this road pay ? Its present section as we have shown is through a fertile farming country, and its first terminus taps the richest current of trade in Minnesota. What is beyond ? Take the map. To the southwest lies the winding length of the Minnesota River with all its numerous aud rising towns. Can we doubt what the future will call forth from such a region ? Up beyond the great bend, 'away into an almost untrodden country, it continues the same outlet to present or future agri cultural wealth. Then again directly west of Louis ville, a magnificent country, (the Counties of Carver, McLeod and those adjacent,) stretches ont,already much developed, and containing a most energetic and intelli gent population. Application has already been made to the Legislature by the people of Glencoe for a charter for a branch road to their town. This region once opened np, once offered an ontlet for its productions, and it will flood its wealth outward to the Mississippi. And then, looking to the farther future, if the Ntniitger and St. Peter Kailroad Company are, as 1 we think they Trill be, able to oonstruot the first Railroad in Minnesota what is to prevent their keeping the same advanced position, aud sweeping westward on the great line of the advance of tbe country. With all this, who can doubt that tbe Stock of the Company will be a safe and paying investment ? Who can doubt that it will yield a handsome return on its principal in semi-annual dividends ? Who will doubt that it will be a current and tangible evidence of so much money—negotiable as bank notes. But more than all tbis»Jn‘a£iig the*public to sub scribe for Stock in the Nininger and St. Peter Railroad Company, we are offering them lots in the Town of Louisville, which will, by their certain rise, upon tbe ‘building of tbe Koad, net them double, treble , quadruple the whole cost of their Stock, and that too before they have half paid for it. Gf thin fact there can be no dotibt. Lots have already, before there was any pros pect of aTUilroad, been sold in the town of Louisville for Two Hundred Dollars each. We are offering equally good lots for ten dollars each 1 What we ask in return i?, that tbe parcjmsewhsll pajghis y>ro rgki part towards building t ro id that wilt immeasurably 9 dd to the value of his own property. What could be.fairer? He is putting money in no mail’s pocket but his own. Hejs, building his own Baffroad in which he is aa daewlt in terested as any MKittnaojjani to wheas actions he will, as a shareholder, hXjrejl fWH* Q* > ' r " Let us reduce this matter to details, first to demon strate its feasibility, tp show its results as to the individual purchaser. The Koad from Nininger to Louisville will cost it has been estimated, at «f t3fl/fl<o per mile, making a total of $700,000. Of this, it is a well known fact, that if one half, or even one-third be raised in cash, the remainder can be negotiated, by exchanging the Stock with contractors, by discounting tfie bonds of the Com pany secured on the portion already built, and in various other ways. We propose to faise very nearly the whole amount in cash. We Win offer for sale about six thou sand lots in Louisville at Ten Dollars per lot, subject to an average sjibscripthiJtQf one,share to the jot, in all, six thousand shares, maxing at Qne Hundred Dollars per share Six Hundred' Thousand Dollars; not one-half, not one-third, but six-sevenths of the whole amount re quired to build the road; and this too in cash, as it is needed, in monthly instalments of thirty thousand dol lars each. Now is it doubted that those lots can be sold ? It must be remembered by the incredulous who will hang back to their own future loss, that one year ago a large number qf lots were offered for sale by the Proprietors of Nininger, a town containing now with its additions over seven thousand lots at Six Dollars each, subject to an equally onerous condition. Not one lifts of advertising heralded them, not one newspaper pulled them, pot one public meeting was held, and yet twenty-seven days from the sale of the first lot every lot offered was disposed of. What has been the mult? Nininger City in ene year contains a population of at least six hundred, about one hundred and twenty-fvc hMNMf, two saw nulls, a sash factory, and a grist Dili H .ttiUaia in progress of erootion. No town iu tbe Territory or iu the whole greet West Over rose more rapidly or prom ises more brightly for The fature. What are the lots worth that were bought a year ago for six dollars each ? Only a little while ago three of them were sold for one thousand dollars cash l Will tbe incredulous calculate the rate of interest per month that will increase eighteen dollars in one year into one thousand dollars. Will not the same thing take place in Louisville ? If sueh results have been attained in Nininger by a judi cious combination of numbers and wealth, that will be the results in Lonisville when that combination is bem not to the erection of houses, which will rise of them selves with the necessity for them, but to the bringing to the heart of the town that great avenue of trade a Railroad, that great desideratum of modern times, with out which commerce moves not, man travels not, and cities grow not: tbe all in all of progress and advance ment. That road once built who can doubt that lots in Louis ville, be worth from five hundred dollars and upward> to five thousand. It would make Louisville the em porium of the Minnesota Kiver, collecting into its fold.- all tbe wealth and oommerce of the region around it. We will say A. B. buya ten lota for ten dollars each, making in all one hundred dollars. lie subscribes at the same time for ten shares of Stock; on which he pay* fifty dollars per month, for twenty months, at the end of which time he has paid up the full value of his Stock, vis., SI,OOO. In the meantime, month after month, the Kailroad has gone on, excavations have been dug, rails have been laid, and depots have been built. W hut are A. V.’s lots worth? At a reasonable calculation one thousand dollars each. If lots in Hastings, Shako pee, and various other towns, are now worth that sum, will not the lots in a Railroad terminus be equally valuable ? How then do A. B.’s accounts stand. Paid for lots in the town of Louisville, 100 “ “ Stock in the Railroad Company, 1,000 Par value of ten shares of capital stock in the Nininger and St. Peter Western Kailroad Company, 1,000 Value of ten lota in the town of Louisville, 10,000 10,000 SII,OOO Leaving a profit of 9,900 dollars. Or say this is extravagant: say his lots average SSOO each, and still you have a profit of $4,9*25. Or reduce it still lower, put them at $250 each, and you still leave a profit of $2,437. Or say that by any possibility alter the Railroad is built he gets a price less than many of the lots have already been sold for, viz., SIOO each, and he has still a profit of $1,193, a magnificent increase upon the sum of SIOO invested less than two years before.
