. Wlicu he was married he took his wifo
a trip to IJolton, and spent a week on his
fconi-ymoon tour. As soon as he was rc
turmxl home the first thing he did was to
put his wifo into the scales to weigh her.
Then the butcher took out his account
book and divided the expenses ot tlio
marriage and wedding-tour by the weight
of the wife.
"Eh, lass," said he, "fhou'st cost me

the train drew near to York the ticket col

44 Here," said the butcher, pointing to
the tall, awkward youth.
44 What do you mean ? " asked the in
dignant ticket collector. "He ain't a

"Ah! so he is, now," answered the
butcher, 44 but that's thy fault, not mine.

- James was at one time not well off. Ho
Lad a brother Tom who had some money.
Now James happened to heir that his
brother was very ill, and, as they had not
latterly been very good friends, be was
afraid lest, if Tom died, he would not
leave him his mom-y. So he immediately
set oil' to bis brother's house, and on his
arrival found him ill in Ix-d. lie went
tip to the room in which his brother lay,
and began: --.- .

"Noa," said Tom, " I hain't; but I war

44 Weel, tha knaws, Tommy," said
James, "mebbethou an' me hain't lately

44 Why," said Tommy, "as thou'st been

think it wadn't be reet if Ididn'tdot' same

44 Weel," said James, "I think vou
couldn't do better ; and soa, let's send for
Mr. Smith to mak' our wills, and ,1 think
mebbc, Tommy, thou'd better ha' thy will

So these two men sent for the lawyer to
make their wills. Tommy's was first made,
and a very few days alter he died. His
money then came to James, who in reality
was not ill in the least, but had only
pretended to be so.
Curuiaf Insanity by Irritating llic
Skin.
There arc many cases published in the
medical journals relating to insanity, says
lr. Drown-Scquard, showing-that a large
number of patients have been cured sud
denly by means of irritation of the skin,
that was either accidental or employed by
a physician. There are other means more
curious and equally effective, as in the
case I am alxmt to mention. A patient in
a lunatic asylum met another one who
struck his head and broke his cranium on
the right side. The brain oozed out, a
good deal was lost, and the patient was
cured of his insanity and epilepsy. This
is rather a dangerous means of treatment,
however, and of course I only speak of it
to show that an irritation brought to the
brain may often cure. It is in that way
that bold surgeons as many there were in
this country in the period from lb'JS to
1j9 who have brought their instruments
to the cruniuni and made an opening
there, in cases of epilepsy, in search of a
disease at that place that did not exist,
Lave very frequently cured their patients.
Uut not because they have taken away the
disease that they supposed existed there,
but because they produced an irritation
which has done it.
Dut I may add that it is not necessary to
open the cranium, though it has been done
to my knowledge more than fifty times in
this country. All that is called for is an
irritation of the skin of the cranium and
of the fibrous band that covers the bone
Itetween the skin and brain. Irritation
there has a very good chance of curing
epilepsy in many very obstinate cases.
There are many cases on record showing
that an inflammation in almost any of the
organs of the body is sufficient to check
insanity. In the same way other affec
tions of the brain, sucli as amaurosis or
parabysis, may lye cured suddenly without
any cause that we can find, but with good
ground certainly to believe that irritation
has acted so as to produce a change in the
cells of the brain and diminish their mor
bid activity. For there are clear cases in
which those affections have been cured by
such irritation. Those alterations of cells
that were producing arrest of the power of
sight or paralysis have been submitted to
an irritation of parts of the skin or of
some viscus, and this irritation going to
the morbid part and producing a change
in the activity of those cells has cured the
disea.se. So that a double mechanism of
arrest may take place in all these cases.
There is in the brain an irritation starting
from the place where is a disease. That
we can se after death. That irritation
goes to parts at a distance andactsou cells
to stop their activity; but another irrita
tion starting from some parts of the
body goes to the parts that are diseased
and there acts on the morbidly active
cells and stops their activity, so that
the effect that resulted from the disease
ceased. So one phenomenon of arrest
produced the cessation of another.
In order to preserve eggs as long as pos
sible it is necessary to prevent the contact
of air with their interior by closing the
pores of the shell. It has been recently
asserted that the most efficacious means of
doing this is by the employment of soluble
glass. This substance, which is a silicate
of sodium, forms with the calcium car
bonate which composes the shell a new
compound calcium silicate thus inclos
ing the shell in an impermeable coating.
. The soluble glass should be used as a solu
tion of a sirnpy consistence. The eggs,
previously well cleaned, are plunged into
the solution lor a nan jiuur, oeiug ic
moved from time to time to ascertain
that the solution is thoroughly in contact
with them. They are finally withdrawn,
dried and placed on shelves which are
either bored full ot holes or covereu wan
grain husks. They should be preserved
to a dry place. Xf. i. Independent.

The Antiquities of Long Islaiid.
The Chridian Union, in reviewing a
work of the above title, summarizes the
ancient settlers of Long Island," the
Dutch, in the following interesting mau
ner: 1'uriuls seem to have been matters to
which the Dutch on Long Island devoted
the most careful attention. The lirsl
money earned by a young man after
coming of age was converted into coin
and saved to meet his funeral expenses;
it was considered a great disgrace, after
the age of twenty-three, to die without
leaving money enough to pay his funeral
expenses. It was also the custom to ap
propriate new clothing for each member
of the family, to serve as a burial suit
when occasion demanded, and such
clothing was never used for any other
purpose. Wc read that bountiful feasts
were prepared for funeral parties, and
that rum, brandy, gin, pipes, tobacco and
cigars were passed among the attendants
at funerals as a simple act of hospital
ity. Funeral 44 hospitality" reached its
height in Albany, however, for there it
became the custom to send out special
invitations to funerals, each invitation
being accompanied by a present of a
linen scarf, a pair of black silk gloves, a
bottle of old Madeira wine and two
44 funeral caKes." The age of the wine
was, in the case of married people, de
termined by the time tbey had passed in
wedlock, for it was the custom for a
young man when about to be married to
send to Madeira for a pipe or two of the
best wine; part of this was used at the
marriage feast and the remainder was
used for funeral presents on the decease
of himself or his wife.
Schools were provided for by the
Dutch in the earliest days of the colony,
and the schoolmaster was a very impor
tant personage. In addition to the ordi
nary duties, of a teacher he was the
chorister and bell-ringer of the church;
he read many ol the 44 lessons" as well as
the Commandments and Articles of
Faith to the congregation, instructed the
children in the catechism on Sunday,
provided water for the baptismal serv ice,
bread and wine for the communion, gave
the funeral invitations, and tolled the
bell. hen the minister was absent the
teacher was to read from the pulpit an
approved sermon. His salary was paya-
bel in wheat, delivered at lirooklyn
Ferry.
In their public records the Dutch seem
to have admitted nicknames as a matter
of course. We read that it was directed
44 that Old Duah deliver into the hands of
the Treasurer the scales and wcinhts
that he bath." etc.; "that Top Knot
Uvtlu and her children be rovided for
is objects of charily," and 41 that the
Treasurer let Satrebvurh have a new suit
ind assist him in what's wanting."
A list of prices paid in tne olden times
is provocative of much mourning to the
modern householder. Deef was three
cents per pound, eggs four cents per
dozen, butter six cents per pound, and
wheat sold at less than a cent a pound.
There is a little crumb of comfort, how
ever, in comparing these figures with the
price of labor; carpenters received forty
ents per day, masons charged forty-
four. Farm hands worked for thirty
cents, but in harvest-time they incrcuned
tJicir price to thirty-seven cents, Hie
mail was at first managed by private en
terprise, tiie carrier being postmaster of,
every town he visited. In later days
many years inside the present century,
in lact, when the mail was carried in
coaches it was the custom, when a vil
lage was off the post road, for the driver
to lay the mail for that town on a par
ticular stone by the roadside. uinm
which stone he would liud whatever
matter he was expected to forward.
A Crazy Horse.
One of the most curious cases ever
known, and one that will tend to revolu
tionize some of the preconceived notions
concerning brute intelligence, has coine
to light in this city. It would appear
that the allliction that has fallen upon
the head of one unlortunate horse is des
tined to open a new window in the
realms of science and to Hood the walks
of psychological research with light upon
that mooted question, the intellect of lhe
brute.
About three mouths ago the firm of O.
H. Shoit v Co. purchased for use iu
their livery-stable on Elm street, near
Third, a line looking black stallion, for
w Inch they paid f HH). I he animal is a
magnificent specimen of horsellesh. lie
stands fifteen hands and an inch high, is
now about ten years of age, and came
lrom ennout live years airo. He was
considered one of the finest buggy
drivers ever kept on livery in the West,
and enjoyed the reputation of a three-
minute horse, and, taken all in all, the
Messrs. Short found they had secured
quite an acquisition to their stock. The
horse was cared for and treated as a
horse of such value always is, and,
though driven enough to keep him
well exercised, he was not abused or
handled recklessly. His health was and
still is excellent. His appetite has not
been at all impaired. His coat is as
sleek and glossy as it ever was, and he is
as full and rounded as in his palmiest
days. Physically the horse is all that
could bed cmanded of horsellesh.
Four weeks ago certain peculiarities
in his demeanor attracted attention. It
is impossible to describe those peculiari
ties, but in horses watched so carefully
and attended so regularly they excited
some comment. Mr. Short examined the
horse and was puzzled. In wind, limb
and appetite he was as sound as a new
dollar; but, for a horse, he manifested
more idiosyncracics and eccentricities
than horsellesh had ever betrayed before.
Sometimes he would stiffen all his limbs
and contract his muscles and stand for
five minutes like a bronze statue. Some
times he would drop down on his fore
knees and, sinking his head down be
tween his legs, remain in that uncom
fortable position for several minutes,
lashing the air with his tail. At other
times he would throw his head up and,
opening his mouth to its widest capacity,
w ould shake ull over. Of course the im
pression was that he was in pain, but it
looked so much like a downright, jolly,
good horse-laugh that those who stood
by would laugh in sympathy. A later
symptom was the manifcsta'.ion of an in
clination to get one fore foot into his
manger. His legs were tied together at
the ankles, but he refused to cat until he
had been untied. Then he would imi
tate the motion of the rocking-horse,
balancing himself alternately on his lore
and hind legs.
Mr. Short was bewildered. Here was
a new disease to him, breaking out in his
stable, whether infectious or not he had
no idea. He looked helplessly around
upon the hundred or more stalls and
their contents, and began to speculate
upon the effect if his hundred animals
should become similarly alllicted. Then
he gave the cause of his bewilderment an
extra kick in the ribs; and then sent out
for horsemen. They came in crowds,
and they came from all directions,
to examine the phenomenon. They
pulled his mouUi ojurn, looked in, and
shook their heads. They pulled his eyes
open, and shook their heads. They
poked him from the root of his neck to
the stump of his tail, and shook their
heads. They lifted up his four hoofs, one
after the other, and shook their heads.
And then they all looked at each other
and shook their heads. The horse was
in perfect health, they all agreed upon
that. The most minute investigation a
horse ever went through failed to reveal
any bodily disease. Finally an old fel
low delivered his opinion:
"Shouldn't wonder if the blamed boss
was crazy."
Then they all fell back four or five feet
and w atched him.
It-may be that the existence of reason
ing faculties i3 essential to support in
sanity, but if that is the case the exist
ence of the reasoning faculties in the
mind of the horse is no longer debatable.
For that horse is as clearly and unmis
takably insani (so the horsemen say) as
was ever a human being. In their view
it is as clear a case of mental aberration
as has ever been known, and they are
now watching the "case" wi'h more in
terest than even they ever manifested in
a hor-c before.
During yesterday quite a number of
people visited the stables and were per
mitted to examine the horse. To-day a
sort of caucus of professionals will be
held on him, and an effort will be made
to locate the difficulty. St. Louis Globe.
ricturcsqnc Savages.
The special corresiondcnt of the Pio
neer of India, who accompanied the
liritish expedition against the Nagas,
gives the follow ing description of the na
tives and their abodes :
The Nagas about here arc most pictur
esque savages, far surpassing the Dulllas
both as to the number and nature of
their decorations. A description of the
head man of this village in full dress
will give you some idea of them. On
his head is a helmet of line, colored cane
work; a red and black plume rises from
the front and falls over the back. From
the front on cither side two curious
strips of buffalo horn, each about two
feet long, and carrying at the cuds a
couple of touchan feathers, stretch them
selves out, and two smaller strips,
adorned with long tufts of hair and
feathers, spring from the back of the
helmet; through the knot of hair at
the back of the man's head two or
three curved pieces of horn, carrying
long tufts of red and white hair, are
passerl. From the cars depend strings of
yellow beads terminating in long waves
of hair. On each arm above theclbowhc
wears innumerable rings (about eight or
nine inches in diameter) of red and black
cane, the lowest being furnished
with long tufts of black and red and
white'hair, which fall gracefully on the
forearm ; the wrists being adorned with
deep bracelets of cloth and cowries;
round his waist, and pinching it in very
much, is a broad belt of variegated cane
work, and his loins arc covered with a
deep blue cloth with embroidered cuds
and red fringe. Lclow the knee he wears
broad bands of cowries, and wisps of
yellow grass are bound round the ankle,
the long ends sticking out in front. In
his left hand he carries a shield of
buffalo hide ornamented with red hair
and four tassels of yellow grass, and iu
bis right hand is a formidable dao, with a
broad, triangular blade and handle two
fecj, long, adorned with thick tufts of
hair. The dao rather than the. -spear
seems to be the principal offensive
weapon here. The Nagas of this tribe
tattoo a good deal on the face, four lines
being taken over the forehead, under the
eyes and round the corners of the mouth,
meeting on the chin, two line lines mark
ing out a lozenge-shaped space on the
nose. The effect is the reverse of
pleasing. There are some men from
two neighboring tribes the Bordu
arias and Nanusavgias in the vil
lage. These men do not tattoo on the
face, but do a good deal on the body and
legs. They resemble the Mutaus closely
in dress and decorations, are much
cleaner than most hillmen, and as a rule
arc line, well-made fellows. Thy al
wear their hair tied up in a big knot be
hind, on which their helmets rest, away
from the forehead, exactly in the fashion
adopted by ladies at home now. The
women wear nothing but a slrip of cloth
about six inches deep tied loosely round
the loins; some supplement this with a
little tatttn ing on the body and legs.
The houses here are large and commodi
ous; one end rests on the ground, and
the other is supported on long bamboo
piles; the principal uprights project sev
eral fect through the ridge of the roof,
suggesting the idea of chimneys at a dis
tance. These arc thatched carefully to
prevent wet penetrating through the
holes they make in the roof. This
thatch is sometimes ingeniously worked
into figures of men. We are told that
this arrangement of posts is adopted in
order thai if they are damaged by damp,
etc., below the ground line, that part can
be cut oil' and the post lowered without
affecting the stability of the house an
ingenious idea.
Incorrect Use of "Hon." and "Ilev."
A wkitkk in a late number of the
Woostcr Unicerxity lleoieai, supposed to
be President Taylor, thus discourses
about an inaccuracy which is coming in
to very general use in some parts of the
West. Ik says:
One of the most frequent errors that
we meet, and a gross perversion of good
usage, without authority and without ex
cuse, has taken full possession of many
of the better rural journals, and is invad
ing the columns of the city press. We
refer to the use of the prefixes 44 Honor
able," 41 lieverend" and the like, indi
rect connection with surnames, as 44 Hon
orable Colfax"; 44 Kevereiid Hall." Fre
quently the mistake is made in direct
address, as 44 Hood morning, lieverend."
These prefixes are merely adjectives, and
one might with as much propriety ad
dress another as 44 Handsome Williams,"
or 44 Sweet Snyder." The usage of good
society, recognizing the dignity of man
hood and womanhood, entitles every man
to the title of 44 Mr." and every woman
to the title of "Mrs." or 44 Miss."
And it is no less disrespectful in
fact to say "llev. Johnson" than
simply to call the individual 44 John
son," wiihout any title whatever.
The 44 llev." or " Hon." is an honorary
prefix to be applied to the dignified full
name. Take note, then, that the proper
address, which should in no case be
neglected, includes the title 44 Mr.," as
llev. Air. Johnson. This is the very least
that is admissible. The more respectful
method, that one usually employed in
polite literature, requires also the inser
tion of the first name or names, or the
initials, as llev. James Johnson, Hcv. J.
L. Smith, the insertion of these taking
the place of the "Mr." when the "llev."
or 44 Hon." is prefixed; not Ilev. Mr.
William Jones. Nouns, however, used
as adjectives to indicate a position may
be attached d irectly to the surname, as
Dishop White, Prof. Black, Principal
Fairbury, Deacon Small, because they
substitute some official rank or office in
place of the "-Mr." that is common to all
men. So we may say that a person is a
Professor or Doctor, but not 41 an Honor
able" or 44 a lieverend." But, these hon
orary prefixes may be applied without
disrespect directly to the titles of olliec,
as llev. Prof. (Jrcen, Ilev. Dr. Smith,
Hon. and llev. Dr. Baptist Noel. This
matter of proper personal respect is a
very delicate point in public estimation,
and needs to be carefully observed, for
the maintenance of oncis own liter
ary standing. As a general rule it is
most courteous, when addressing another
in writing, or when writing of him, to
insert the full name or the full initials
belonging to him. This is a rule easily
remembered, applicable in all cases, and
upon which wc may always safely rely
to save us from trouble. The accurate
spelling of the name is ulso very im
portant, to avoid giving oliense. Uiug
hamton, in New York, was formerly
spelled with a 44 p" Dinghanipton. After
the 44 j)" was discarded a Butlalo paper
persisted in the old spelling, whereupon
a Dinghamton journal, in considerable
ire, responded as follows: 44 Put the let
ter in the name of your own town, if you
want to use it so much Uuffalop. There,
how do you like it now?" Humanity is

Tiik stock of gold in the world in 1S48
was estimated at $ 0,746,000.000, and the
production since then $2,00,000,000, mik
ing an aggregate of $3,5-10,000,000. The
annual loss by wear and tear is estimated
at about $15,000,000, so that twenty-
seven years' wastage would amount to
$50-1,000,000, leaving $5,315,000,000 as the
stock of gold in the metal, whether used
as coin or for other purposes. The
annual waste, it is believed, will be
greatly increased in the future, since
three new countries, Germany, Japan and

There are but few farmers who fully

kept. As a general practice three cows
do not produce as much milk, butter or

with the balance of his farm. He keeps
no account and knows nothing about bis
business. Two hundred and fifty pounds
of butter per cow per year is not a large
yield, yet there are more that do not pro
duce more than half that amount than
there is that exceeds one half. There is
no poorer policy than starving and freez
ing a milk cow. There can be no more
improvidence in any branch of agricult
ure than in half starving and exposing
to the storms of winter the cow that is
expected to furnish the family with
milk, butter and groceries. We have
seen this spring from three to live cows
staggering about straw stacks of farmers,
which w ill require nearly all the summer
to repair wasted nature, w ithout supply
ing any of the rich, nutritious
milk which only comes from a
healthy, well-fed cow. Such a farmer
should either keep a less number
or provide belter shelter and more rich
food. One cow well provided for is bet
ter than three starved ones. One will
furnish more milk. Children should
never be fed on milk drawn from a poor
cow, reduced to the bare possibility of
sustaining vitality. It is cruelty to ani
mals to thus treat them, and it is murder
to the innocent children to feed them on
such food. The profit, the morality and
the respectability of it require that a
man who keeps cows should provide bet
ter than is done in most cases in cold cli
mates. A man that would cheat his poor
old cow, which has thus far raised his
children, should be considered respecta
ble in no society. There may be cases
where drought, flood or devouring insects
have reudeied it impossible to provide
bountifully for all the animals on the
farm, but in such cases the owner should
not be compelled to sec the poor old cow
shaking her horns at hini in his night
dreams. Wc plead for the cow, and it
three or five cannot be provided for, sel.
oil", and one well fed will provide more
than the three or live. lowi Male Jieg
ister. liaising lied Clover for Hay vs. For
Seed.
I have known a crop of clover seed ex
haust the land more than a crop of
wheat. Clover is a great renovating
crop when grown for hay, for pasture or
for plowing under, hence clover seed
should be sown liberally. On the other
hand raising seed is highly profitable but
somewhat exhausting to the land, liaise
clover seed, but use the money obtained
from its sale to enrich the land.
A bushel of clover seed will usu
ally buy six or eight bushels of
peas or beans, and these fed to stock
on the farm will restore to the soil, in the
form of manure, six or eight times as
much plaut-food as the crop of clover
seed removed. Do not try to cheat the
soil. Do not induce it to gi ve you a good
crop of clover seed and then refuse it a
share in the profits. In raising clover
seed cut the first crop early say in this
latitude the first or second week of June.
A better rule still is to cut the first crop
before all the blossoms are unfolded. It
is also important that the first crop
should be mown as evenly as possible
that the plants may start equally and the
future crop of seed ripen all at the same
time. It is desirable to get the seed early
say the first or second week in Septem
ber. Occasionally a large crop will ripen
in October; but at that season the
weather is usually unpropitious.
and a large number of the heads
when ripe arc apt to drop off in
wet weather, both before and after they
are cut. A large growth of foliage is
sometimes obtained, by sowing gypsum
on the clover after the hay crop is re
moved; but in a cool growing season the
seed in this case is apt to ripen
poorly. The largest crops are obtained,
other things being equal, from land
seeded with nothing but clover, and in
this case the seed should be sown pretty
thickly say six or eight quarts per acre.
This thick seeding has a double advan
tage. You get a finer quality of clover
hay, and, the plants being thick on the
ground, the crop i ; not so apt to lvjdgc
and can be mown more evenly. Six
bushels per acre is somftimcs grown on
god land when clover alone is sow n, but
three or four bushels is a full average.
Let not the farmer who neglects and
starves his land think Uiat he can get
rich by growing clover seed. The profits
arc not for him. There is no better in
dication of good land and good treat
ment than luxuriant crops of clover.
The tand that will produce good clover
will produce good wheat or other grain,
and the negligent farmer deserves neither
one nr the other. Let him give the soil
good tillage and liberal treatment, and it
will prove grateful. On the contrary,
if a farmer starves the soil the returns
in light crops will impoverish his
pecuniary resources. On a wheat farm
it is not easy to grow too much clover
p rovided it is all consumed on the farm
or plowed in as a green manure ; but it
is quite easy to raise too f much clover
seed. Clover is, perhaps, all things con
sidered, the best renovating crop that
can bo grown on a wheat farm. Like
peas and beans clover is a luguminous
plant and draws a considerable quantity
of ammonia from the atmosphere, while
its deep roots penetrate the subsoil and
bring up potash and oilier ingredients of
plant food. It is admirably adapted to
our climate, and as yet " clover sick
ness," which is so troublesome on the
light soils of England, is known in but
few localities in this country. Whether
it is best for farmers to raise their own
seed is a question which deserves con
sideration. It should be lHrnc in mind
that the main object of sowing so much
clover is to enrich the land, and it is un
doubtedly true that letting clover go to
seed changes it from a renovating to an
exhausting crop. Hence the true sys
tem of management is to raise seed only
in small quantities, say on half an acre
of the best ground, w hile the remainder
should be plowed under or be made into
hay and fed out on the farm. "Ar

The Cultivation of Corn.
In the cultivation of the crops in the
great corn region of the West fewer inte
gers have to be taken into consideration
than in any other country in the world.
The soil is rich beyond cavil and easily
worked, the climate admirably adapted to
the crop, and the autumns all that could
Iki desired for safely harvesting the prod
uct. On fall-plowed land, as a rule, we have
not found it necessary to rcplw in the
spring, unless iu exceptional tases where
the soil has been rendered compact and
hard during the w inter ami spring. This
will seldom be the case on lands suitable
to fall plowing, or upon rolling land. It
left rough so that it may receive the con
tinued action of the air, the rains ami the
frosts it will usually be in such condition
that a good tilth may le harrowed up.
Then, by the use of the harrow" bull
tongues, as heretofore recommended, a
deep tilth may be obtained. Dut if, from
any reason, the land becomes impacted, it
will be found cheaper to rcplow the land
lightly, say three or four inches, than to
attempt to get the soil in condition with
cultivators.
The greatest mistake that we have found
among many cultivators in the West is
that the soil is worked while so wet that it
In -comes lumpy thus adding to the cost
of cultivation, and also damaging the
yield in sure pro-ortiou to the roughness
of the soil. On all soils liable to this con
ingency the value of fall-plowing, with
out spring replowing, will be duly appre
ciated, and UKn no soils should the land
be plowed until the furrow will cast from
the mold -hoard in a perfectly friable state.
Neither should fall-plowed "land be har
rowed until the soil is linn enough so that
it will harrow even and smooth. It is
true that occasionally a spring will be so
w et that the land will not come into proper
condition for plowing before it is again
soaked. Nevertheless, the farmer who
touches his land while out of ronditiou
surely pays for his temerity. The only
compromise allowable, if not in really
good condition, is to liarrow, and roll
smooth, immediately after plowing, or be
fore the laud is sufficiently air-dried to
break. And here, again, the utility of fall
plowing will be apparent, since the top of
the soil w ill be fit for harrowing before it
is really fit to plow. Thus we have
touched upon the main points up to the
time when the soil is plowed, harrowed,
and ready for planting.
Straight rows lxth ways not only show
the careful farmer, but, without this, you
cannot cultivate evenly or uniformly close
t- the hill w hile the corn is yet young, and,
if not, no after cultivation w ill econom
ically destroy the weeds. Fully one-half
the corn-fields of the country, when
marked evenly and straight one way, are
unevenly cheeked round the other. To
drop the corn jut right requires that the
machine be in perfect order aud also that
it be so arranged that the corn is held at
the proper point, so that it may be depos
ited when the corn is set free for the next
hill. To do this perfectly requires calcu
lation; and the dropper cannot do it un
less first instructed. To do this, the lever
must be moved so that the corn will reach
the ground just as the heel of the shoe
reaches the marked space. A careful ex
amination of this subject will enable the
operator to so time lhe moving of the
lever just before the planter reaches the
mark as to insure accurate dropping loth
ways. We have seen men utterly fail in
this and a girl of thirteen succeed per
fectly. In fact girls, as a rule, are
more successful than lys, for the
reason that they attend more closely to
what they have to do than boys. It is no
mean item iu the cost of cultivation, since
the question of weeds or no weeds will
make a difference often of half the prod
uct. Deep or shallow planting is a question
that has lx.en variously discussed. The
fact is that here the individual planter
must exercise judgment according to the
condition and nature of his soil. On very
dry, and especially loose, soils deeper
planting is necessary to secure due moist
ure than on heavier soils. For ourselves
we prefer shallow planting, say not more
than two inches deep; and also confess
w e like those planters w hich raise a slight
ridge over the planting. Jhey cannot,
however, be successfully used on trashy
land, or that in bad condition. If Thus
planted, the harrow is pretty sure to kill
the weeds effectually in the row; and the
next cultivation with the harrow-shares
enables you to work close to the corn w ith
out danger of covering.
Corn will germinate and come up healthy
at a depth of three inches. Ucyond this
depth it is uncertain. If the conditions of
moisture arc perfect, the proper depth is
from one to one and one-half inches; but
here again the harrow must be taken into
account; ami thus, in practice, from two
to three inches has been foyyid to be pretty
nearly right, one j-car with another.
Thick and thin planting is another inte
ger that must le taken into account. Asa
rule, the richer the land the closer the
rows may be, and the thicker the planting.
In the South, on some of the worn lands,
five feet or more is sometimes given.
Care must, however, be taken that the
land lx; not over-cropped with stalks.
However rich the soii and we have
worked some heavily-manured ones we
have never succeeded perfectly with field
corn at less than three feet eight inches le
twecn rows, or with more than three stalks
in the hill. If the corn is drilled the
grains may le one foot apart.
It is true that alxmt the same yield may
be obtained with four stalks in the hill,
but the ears will lc shorter, and thus loss
will ensue in tjie husking. Three feet ten
iuchc', the usual width of Western ma
chines, will be found to be about the right
distance apart.
When corn is drilled and carefully cul
tivated the yield will usually be from one
fifth to one-sixth greater than if in hills;
but, except on new or very clean land, this
is more than counterbalanced by the in
creased cost of cultivation. It will, in
deed, pay to hoe a field of corn rather than
have it weedy; but it must be remembered
that it will double the cost of cultivation
no mean item when fields arc often
counted by hundreds of acres. There is,
however, no need to touch a hoe to the
field, as a rule, if the cultivation has been
proper.
This may be summed up thus: Have
the land in proper tilth; harrow loth waj's
if necessary and just as the corn is
germinating, and again ju.t as a blade is
here and there passing through the soil;
kep the cultivator going, as heretofore di
rected, until the corn is four feet high, and
then coiuinuc with a single horse imple
ment if weeds appear that arc likely to go
to seed. The field should be passed over
during the grow ing season at least once in
ten days. Even under this system sixty
acres may be worked to lhe team and still
allow for ordinary loss from wet weather.
