The Bread Problem. We publish this morning- a very ine resting and instructive artice by the icv. li. D. Pratt, upon the bread >robleui which is so momentous just iow. in view of the short harvests of a>t year. Mr. Pratt was for a large lumber of years a missionary to South America, and while there became horougbly conversant with the ways.j ie believes that the chief breadstuff of Colombia can be introduced in South Carolina to the greatest advantage. Last year lie published an article de;cribing this corn, and distributed the ;eed tree of charge, but as he gave it he name of millet, it was confounded vith our millets that are used for j >rovender for stock; and this article lid not receive the attention it deserved. This time he has had some >fthe corn ground in an ordinary; jrist mill, and from the meal has had j >read made. A.s ta?* as we can judge, t is difficult to distinguish from our j >rdinary corn-bread, and in fact is of i better quality man oreau maue irom iiich meal as is occasionally bought in j >ur grocery stores. We commend the irticle to the serious attention of our armors, especially as to the line yield nspite of drought, and as to the! malysis which is appended. Let the! >eople lay aside prejudice and make a j air experiment. This is no speculaion nor ;{job" as every one knows j vho is acquainted with the gentleman ; vho has written the article. lie is j incerelv desirous of helping our peo- j )Ie. and he believes that if given a fair i rial this Millo Corn will prove as >alatable and wholesome as our ordi- ' larv Indian corn, and very much j iheaper. We commend the article to ; >ur readers as one suggestion as to the ; ncthod of solving the bread problem, j TBI BUTE OF BESFECT. Normal College, Nashville, Tennessee.

I brought the seed with me frorr South America four years :<<ro. am have grown it i:i this place for foui successive summers, striving the whiU to introduce it to the acquaintance and recommend it to the adoption am use of our people; but with so link success hitherto, that, though I pub lished an article i:i your columns las spring on the subject, ami advertised the public of a free distribution o seed to all applicants at the Drug am Seed Store of Messrs.

Brie< & Ketchin; and though I gave the scet to friends in Georgia and North Caro linafour years ago, and have done si since that time, 1 doubt whether tw< quarts of the seed can to-day be fount in the three States, outside of m\ house. My own little supply is, ] fear, quite too small to meet the de maud which now at length is about tt be created for it. "The proof of tin pudding is in the eating". I intendct last winter to have some of r!:e seet ground, with a view to testing it: bread-making qualifies, mu my c<>\\ got ;ii my unthreshed grain, and spoiler my experiment.

I have have been told ther ti;at a third crop of fully ripened see< can thus be made from a single plant ing.

It was this unlimited capaci ty to stand drought which induced m< to bring the seed home, in the belie that it would be of incalculable service to our Southern States, where on grain crops so often fail from drought and where a really good crop come perhaps once in-five years, it so oiiei as that. During the four years of my rcsi deuce in Winnsboro, we have had s succession of dry summers, such a have made me despair of gardening ii a cotton country, and have led oui farmers generally to give up planting corn except on bottom lands.

It stands dry weather mucl better than even cotton does. I committed a serious error lasi spring in publishing my comrncnda tions of this remarkable grain undei the name of "Colombian MilletOui people, poor as tliev are, are abovt planting millet for food.

I give it its Colombian name, "Milto Coi'n", xyhicl is just the English of i%31aiz Millo." 1 am satisfied that with this graii we can flood the State with wholesome corn meal at twenty-five cents, i bHshel, and insure a crop whatevei the season may be. I am satisfied thai with careful culture it will yield ir Fairfield county from 50 to 100 bushels to the acre of clean seed (60 pounds tc the bushel by actual experiment) oi: best uplands; and as, like wheat, il blossoms and fruits at the iop, I believe that, like wheat, its yield in capable of indefinite extension. I am unwilling to concede that 200 bushels t<; the acre, under the most favorable conditions of season and of culture, would be an impossible thing:?that i? to say, nearly double the largest yield Orf corn. Of this the reader may judgi for himself. recolleetiiML-that 10U bushels weigh pound*. For the ordinary planting in South America, which 1 hav?j>2owed here, is in row? about three'rect wide, or loss, the hills a foot and a half apart, and three 01 tour gr-iins totlic hill.

Thus there are nearly lo,ow hills to the acre, and even in this exceptionally dry summer, and under unfavorable circumstances to be detailed hereafter, 1 have raised scores of heads which -would each yield four or li ve ounces of clean seed.

The ! l; | graii' is smaller and more mealy ! 1 i I than the Guinea corn, the heads are I r j larger and less compact, and the col -r ' ' i I is milk white instead of red. !t differs ! i! t from the sorghum in this, that the j 0 r i snjrar it contains is fully concerted j s i j into corn when the grain matures, j ) | so that the pith of the green stalk be- [ :l t j oomes as dry and tasteless as that <>t i 1 f Indian corn when tlie stalk is dead, j :l s Except for this, and as the valuable j ' k- product of leaves is green till frost, j:l . the whole might be converted into | ! ] j ensillage, after the grain from the ' c!

The wccvels arc as s . fond of it as tnc chickens, so that if a j put u;> in tin; head, it should he s sprinkled v?ilh salt, or interspersed 0 c with sassafras or hickory leaves, to pro- [ c tect it against their ravages. It docs ]' 5 nut. shell out and waste like wheat, and 11 1 yet it could readily be threshed out, a . I suppose, in a wheat thresher. In a c i> small way it can be threshed with a 0 f flail upon the floor, or with a stick in 11 2 a strong b;ig. The cows are fond of r the empty heads, which makes it the c . less necessary to thresh them quite l; s clean. * s j It will not be amiss to add that from j1 the time this corn is waist hisrh (June ;! - - * ... -? i 11 . or July) until frost, n so ucuseiy * i shades the ground as to kill out grass a s and weeds.
