This epeoies is en- tirely wortblese for Fall pasbnre as it blossoms and protium:a aced the same year in which it is sown. The farmer referred to, however, allowed this crop to got up to a considerable height before putting stock ou it. The result was that a great amount of the seed matured and fell to the ground and although the land was seeded to grass the following Spring and remained so for six years, tthe seed was found on account of its oily natare, to be sound, and growing vigorously amongst the grain, similar to wild mus. tard, ueoessitabing the labor• of pulling in order to get rid of it. Had the crop been plowed down when it first Dame in blossom, it would have saved much en- noyanoe and labor.

Mr. King speaks very favorably of our Debario roads from e cyclist's standpoint, and as he has tree versed many of the leading highways of Germany on hie- wheel, where one sees per/elution in road construction, .hie opin. iou is all the more valuab'e. Speaking of his experience with the German people and language, he found the language not at all hard to aognire. He observed that he made greater progress when he kept away from the English speaking people, Respecting the people, they are generally stolid, sober, matter•of•faat in their bear. ing. The Germans have ito geese of wit or tumor in them, neither do they seem- ingly appreciate a joke. Neither did be see anything of a humorous strain in their newspapers ; the funny man was not in it, he was not wanted, simply be- astlier) the people are nob built that way. Mr. King has often aeon the young Ern - parer and hie palatial homue in and about Berlin.
