The Dangers of Mining; In England.
This London Standard says: " Many in
teresting particulars as to the effect of re
cent legislation on the management of
mines are to be found in the oflicial vol
ume just issued which gives the reports
of the inspectors of mines for the year
1S74. The summary of the statistics of
all the reports shows that with regard to
those undertakings which aro subject to
the Coal Mines Regulation act there arc
no accidents or deaths during the year in
Ireland. In (treat liritain there was an
average of one fatal accident amongst ev
ery 002 persons employed in and about
the mines and one tfcath by accident
amongst every 510 persons, it will be
observed that a "fatal accident" simplv
counts as one in these returns, although
it may kill several persons. Hence there
is a diC'erenee in the ratio according as we
take the accidents or the deaths. It is also
shown that 157,222 tons of mineral were
got for each fatal accident and i:33.251
tons for each death. In the preceding
year (1873) the fatal accidents and the
number of deaths from such acci'leuts
were more numerous in proportion to the
number of persons employed, there being
one accident among 52'j "persona and one
death from accident among 41'.). in pro
portion to the weight of mineral raised
the figures for 1S73 showed one accident
for 14ti,807 tons and one death for 133,
677 tons. Thus, on the basis of the work
done there was an improvement last year
as compared with 1873 in the ratio of lata
accidents, but in regard to the actual loss
of life the ratio was not quite so good as
before, though the difference was so slight
as to be scarcely appreciable. It is curious
that the fatal accidents from the explosion oi
fire-damp were precisely the same in num
ber last year as in the year preceding,
namely, forty-four. The number of fatal
accidents from the breaking of ropes and
chains was also the same in the two
several years, being eleven in each. In
some other instances the two years show
almost an exact equality in the number of
fatal accidents of. a specified character.
Svith regard to the deaths from explosion
of lire-damp the fizure3 show a great in
crease, being lG(i lor last year as against
1GU in the 3"car preceding. Hut, of course,
two or three heavy accidents will greatly
aggravate the returns under this head for
a single year. The deal lis from the falls
of the' roof or sides of mines show a con
siderable decrease, being 412 in 1S74 as
against 401 in 1S73. The magnitude of
the.ie latter numbers as compared with
those under the head of fire-damp shows
that the terrible catastrophes which create
so great sensation in the public mind are
not the mt fruitful source of destruction
to the life of the collier. Deaths from ac
cidents in the shall were 1"4 last yeaf, and
171 the year preceding. The deaths from
miscellaneous acciuents under ground
w ere 214, as against 221 in 1V73. The loss
of life from accidents at the surface showed
an increase, the deaths from this cause be
ing lull, whereas in lt7J they were Wi.
Coining to the total there is a slight de
crease, the deaths in 174 being 1,0-Vi, as
against 1,WJ in the year before. The
total number of mines was 4,332, employ -ing
.VW,2t). The tons of mineral 'wrought
amounted to 140,713,S32, of which 12',
.V.H),10S were coal, the remainder being
fire-clay, ironstone and shale."
A United Slates Marshal's Dilemma.
The lines of the revenue ofllecr are not
cast in pleasant places anywhere, lie is
looked ujxm usually merely as the minion
of a despotic power, and his useful olli
ciousness is constantly getting him into
trouble. There are grades of misery for
the revenue oiliccr, and the very bottom
round seems to have been reached lately
by one of the clase in Virginia. It was
only his ingenuity and presence of mind
that pot him out of purgatory. Is ear
Lynchburg, Va., several women have
lately been indicted for illicit distilling,
the men engaged in the business contriv
ing to shift the responsibility upon the
weaker vessels in the vain hope that the
gallantry of the officers would prevent the
arrest of the really culpable ones' wives
and daughters. One Man-lial, unaffected
by the claims of sex, arrested a woman and
started oil with her. lie hadn't gone far
before he wished his prisoner were a man.
Five dreadful miles the woman was carried
in a buggy, and at every revolution of the
wheels she emitted a shriek to raise the
dead. There was no stilling her, patron
ess of the "still" though she was, and
there was no remaining unmoved under
that dreadful dispensation ofscreams. The
Marshal, at first apathetic, became first
vexed, then nervous, then tleserate. Po
sition, reputation, anything might go
rather than further endure the company of
that terrible woman. A country doctor
w as met and to him the demoralized of
ficial offered live dollars if he would give
a certificate that the woman was not in a
condition to travel. The doctor promptly
and obligingly agreed to the proposition,
and the Marshal in a moment set the
shrieking woman free in the middle of the
road. The shrewd rascal who had relied
upon the officer's gallantry had miscalcu
lated, but he had" gained his end. Man
born of woman cannot endure an unlim
ited dose of such female vocalism as the
Marshal suffered under. St. Louis Re
publican. A Story Hard to Credit.
The Cohocs (N. Y.) Bulletin says there
is residing on Harmony street, C'ohoes, a
man aged seventy-live years, who has pot
spoken to his wife in twelve years. Ho
lias been married fifty years, has an amia
ble wife and several children and grand
children, and considerable property. The
old man and his wife lived together hap
pily until about twelve years ago, when
one morning the wife came downstairs
and saluted her husbapd in a gentle man
ner as was her wont to do, but to her as
tonishment lie made no reply. She spoke
to him again and again, but always with
the same effect, and ever since that July
morning in 18G3 the husband has never
opened his lips to his wile. He always
speaks familiarly with the rest of his fam
ily and friends, but on no occasion or
under any consideration would he speak
one word to his wife. lie always treats
her w ith gentleness and kindness, always
providing for her wants with the most
scrupulous care, but not one word can be
coaxed out of his lips to refer to his strange
way of treating her. itis wife and him
eat at the same table, walk to church side
by side, yet not one word has escaped that
man's lips for the past twelve years totnat
woman. His little grand-daughter lives
with him, and through her lie knows his
wife's wants, and no request of hers is
left unheeded. Several friends of the
family have tried repeatedly to fathom his
strange action, but they found it impossi
ble to do so.

Republican Prospects.
We believe 1hat the result of the Stale
elections this lall will disclose a compact,
v igorous and successful Republican party,
''ront every quarter there comes the most
fleering intelligence. Out of the shadow
that came over us in the general elections
of last year w e see unmistakable evidence
of returning light and of noon-day efful
gence. The dark cloud of political insan
ity which since then has seemed to hang
ominously over the nation is surely break
ing away, and the clear light of political
reason is hastening its homeward flight.
Not only those who have all along been
Republicans, but truthful and honest men
everywhere have become conscious of the
approach of danger, and that it must be
averted. They are fully alive to the tre
mendous importance of the present cam
paign in the pivotal States, and they have
both the courage and the ability to com
mand success. In Ohio and in Pennsyl
vania, in Ohio especially, where the
fiercest battle must be fought, our friends
are marshaling in solid phalanx, with an
earnestness and enthusiasm that are
auguries of victory in every good cause.
The people, who, for various rea
sons, were sluggish and fretful a year
ago, are now awake to the fact that they
have some things "ct which they hold
dear and which they are unwilling to sur
render. They well know that the time
has come when they must renew in earnest
the struggle with their desperate and un
scrupulous foe; that the elections in Octo
her and Novemln-r next are something
more than ordinary skirmishes that they
are battles for position in the great con
flict next year for the possession of the
National Government ; and they do not
propose to permit the occasion to pass
without administering to their enemy
such a rebuke as their audacity and
hypocrisy deserve. It has not yet become
quite clear to their minds that it will be
safe to trust well-known and avowed ene
mies with all that is mot sacred in life;
to drive from the grand old ship the crew
that have remained steadfaft in the per
formance of their trust, through storms
and perils, through sorest trials and fierc
est assaults, that pirates may plunder and
destroy her. Those who in all seasons
have stood firm as a rock amid the sea
must not be supplanted by those who trim
to every passing breeze, stcr.dfast in noth
ing but an eager desire to seize the spoils.
That the present omens are auspicious,
need not be surprising. Last year, for
various reasons, which no man could fore,
see and no Government prevent, the people
were sullen and supine, and showed their
discontent by voting down their friends
and voting up their enemies, who have
cither betrayed them or will do so at the
first opportunity. There was then no
great national peril; but that little experi
ment has fully satisfied their prurient
curiosity. The friends of good govern
ment, of the maxims and tenets of the Re
publican party, are now, as they have
been since ISi.O, in the majority; and it is
absurd and illogical to suppose that, in a
crisis they would surrender all the ground
they have fairly, yet so dearlv, won. Ex
perimenting with and trusting the Dem
ocratic parly as now led. and as it is now
comporting itself everywhere, would be
a folly of which we trust the nation will
never be guilty. To believe that, in
the light of experience, and under
the sober teachings- of history, this
people could so far forget their duty to
themselves and their country as to de
liberately reverse all their glorious his
tory and set the seal of idiocy upon all
their grandest achievements by ushering
into power h combination of men whose
inspiration and hope are in the degrada
tion and ltctray.il of the nation would be
unworthy an American citizen, and too
absurd to find a lodgment in any honest
heart. It takes long years of tyranny
and oppression to reduce a great people
to a state of indifference and to cause
them to look without concern and without
dismay upon their ignominy and their
shame. It was only after long centuries
of shameless lawlessness and tyranny that
the once great Roman Empire could be sold
at auction to the highest bidder; and the
day is yet distant when this people will so
forget their duty and their honor as to
set their seal of condemnation upon all
their achievements.
This then is the time for all pood citi
zens to stand shoulder to shoulder; and
we lelieve that thousands who have not
yet affiliated with the Republican party,
ami thousands more who, in 1S72, fol
lowed an old and trusted leader into a
crooked path whose termination would
be nowhere else than in the present so
called Democratic party, w ill nowbefound
in our ranks. And they are welcome!
Their hearts are with us, and let them
come. The party hrs yet a bright future
before it and it cannot afford to quarrel
with its friends over the past. It has free
ly us"d the scalpel and the broad-ax in
severing from itself the putrid excres
cences and deformities w hich are incident
to human government, and it is now ready
and equipped for the campaign. Republic

Democratic Rule A Fair Comparison.
New York city has been through along
series of 3-enrs the stronghold of Democra
cy. From time to time her overburdened
tax-payers have struggled to free them
selves from the clutches of a party that is
gradually drawing them toward bank
ruptcy. Rut the hordes of ignorance and
vice have defeated them, and to-day intel
ligence and respectability are powerless
to arrest the downward tendency of the
city under Democratic control. The fol
lowing table shows how rapidly the city
debt is increasing:

The Xew York Herald gives the debt of
the city June 30, 1875, as $1 12,000,000 and
says that to this amount maybe fairly add
ed about 20,000,000 of claims pending,
thus making the actual debt of the city
about $K2,0O0.000.

applied to the nation, Ave beg them to
figure out the value of this blessing for
four years of Democratic control.
Ry its financial management Democracy
has increased the debt of New York city
about $10,000,000 in seven years. Dur
ing the same period, under Republican
management, the debt of the nation has
been reduced about f 500,000,000.
The tax-levy in New York city shows
an increase of $17,000,000 over 1815,
while the tax-levy of the nation shows i
decrease of at least if-200,000,000.
Under Democratic rule the expenses of
New York city have steadily increased.
Under Republican lmle the expenses of
the nation have gradually decreased. The
one has been adding to the burdens of the
people, the other has been making them
lighter yearly. The one is tending toward
bankruptcy, the other toward national
wealth and prosperity.
"Who can hesitate in their choice of par
ties? Who can willingly accept Democ
racy as a safe administrator of national af
fairs? Who can give up the party that
has been tried and found true for the party
that has proven false to every trust, and
whose record in a single city where it has
had undisputed sway proves it to be a
party of financial imbecility?

The Intelligence of Ants.
M. ArorsTE Fokki,, a gentleman who
spends his life in studying ants and their
habits, and who tells some astounding
tales about them, has just received the
Thore prize from the Paris Academy of
Sciences. In his report upon these in
sects M. Forcl first examines the dillerent
species and their peculiarities and treats
of their distinctive features as regards
their capabilities for labor or Avar. He
then treats them anatomically, and then
speaks of their wonderful instincts. If
all that he says be true the word instinct
would be too feeble by half, and all should
believe in the intelligence of ants.
Among other things M. Forel says:
" They render each other mutual services;
when an ant has got ltcsmcared with mud
its companions set alout cleaning it most
methodically. M. Forel had, by way of
exj)criment, dirtied and deformed some of
the silken cocoons that contain the ant's
nymphs; on the following day he found
them all perfectly clean, dressed and
brought in shape again. What has been
said by Hubcr as to the precision with
which an expeditionary column of Am;v
zones (polyrrrus rujexeena) proceeds on its
march is only partially true, for when the
insects arc laden with heavy cocoons they
cannot mind any order, but goon as they
can. Under such circumstances many
lose their way, but when they get into the
right track again they evince the greatest
self-confidence by their steady step; they
consequently are endowed with memory.
The battles of ants have been often de
scribed, but even here M. Forel has some
thing new to say. Some species are timid
and cowardly, and always seek safety in
flight; others are exceedingly brave and
seem to enjoy a fight alxve all things.
Rut then there are others whose courage
requires exciting; they hesitate at first,
but gradually Income lolder, and ulti
mately display foolhardiness in a parox
ysm of rage they will let themselves be
uselessly killed. When an ant thus loses
its self-command its companions will try
and keep it back by its feet until it has re
turned to its senses. The architecture of
the nests has received much attention
from the author, and he shows that the
same species will build in different ways.
The locality, the season, the extent of the
population all these circumstances re
quire special arrangements. The ants
w ill quarrel among each other about con
structions that are not equally convenient
to all. When ants find a habitation unoc
cupied, or have driven the inmates from
it, they will retain the old arrangements,
making only slight improvements in
them."

" Is A decidedly plain face the greatest
misfortune that can befall a woman?"
No, no a thousand times no!
Inasmuch as beauty springs fromasense
of fitness, and the plainest face, if it per
fectly express the person, becomes beauti
ful to all who love that person.
We would not for a moment be sup
posed to undervalue a handsome face; itis
a great pleasure to those w ho have it antl
to those who see it ; but we say to the ma
jority of icopIe who have perhaps but one
good feature in their faces, that one good
feature is quite enough to carry you com
fortably through life.
One knows that a single sense can be
trained to such perfection that if the other
four are wanting the mind will express
itself, and find communion with its fellow
creatures through that one sense. Re
member Dickens' touching account of the
American girl who, though blind, deaf
and dumb, learnt so much through her
exquisite sense of touch. And it is the
same with human features. There never
lived on this earth a beautiful human soul
that did not make its power to be felt
through some bodily feature, plain even
to grotesqueness though the face may ap
pear, and keeping its owner therefore
from the first flush of conquest; yet, as
you learn to know her, it is marvelous
how the face becomes changed to you.
There is perhaps only one feature that is
good, but you look at that one good feat
ure till you see nothing but it. You can
imagine what the face "might be if it were
all in keeping with that one feature ; and,
moreover, you feel what it will be when
the distorting hazards of time are passed,
and all the face has grown into harmony
with its best feature ; nay, we may go far
ther still, and say that in many plain faces
there is prophecy that lias far more povr. i
er of winning hearts than is to be found
in the prettiest set of chiseled features,
unless there shines through them an
earnest spirit or a deeply loving heart.
A merely pretty face is in the long run
quite as much a trouble as a gain. The
pretty woman must have power to keep
and deepen the pleasure her face gives or
she will le the victim of disapointment;
whereas the plain woman expects nothing
from her poor face, and is much gratified
when she finds that somehow it has a kind
of power she hardly understands; and do
not we all know plenty of dear old ugly
faces that we would not lose from our
daily surroundings nay, that we would
not alter if we could ; each wrinkle has its
history, and the faces just as they are are
what we love. The human face is the
guest-chamlK.T of the soul, and according
to its attractiveness our guests will be
many or few. The most attractive faces
are generally those with some imperfec
tion. On a perfectly beautiful face we
gaze with untroubled enjoyment; but the
face that has one or two good features and
several faults we are alwa3s interested in
imagining perfect, in wondering w hy such
splendid eyes should be found with so poor
a mouth, or how that funny little nose
should stand lietween the finely-cut upper
lip and beautiful brow of a face we dear
ly love in spite of its nose. We grow
strangely interested in a face we are always
doctoring; we know the original type
must have been perfect, we know that it
shall be perfected hereafter, and we seek
for that which is hidden, feeling more
drawn to the face that perplexes us than
to that whose beauty we see at once,
without any trouble at all ; therefore, I
maintain that instead of being the greatest
misfortune of a woman to have a plain
face it is ositively none at all if she is not
afraid of her face. If she will be a cow
ard and walk about in fear that her face
has nothing pleasant to show, the face
grows offended at the distrust and becomes
the unpleasant thing one dreads; but if
she will only have faith in her face, what
ever it may "be, it w ill yield her royal serv
ice; let her remember that it is "thehuman
face divine," and therefore endowed with
power to give and to receive all that her
heart desires. Let her think not only of
herself, but of the whole human race to
which she lelongs, whose beauty is made
up of infinite variety, and for the perfection
of which her special characteristics are as
necessary as are those of her fairer sisters.

How to Make Ice-Cream.
I wonder if all your readers know how
little trouble it is to make ice-cream for
dessert through the summer. It used to
be a great bugbear to me. I never shall
forget our first experience in that way.
We found some of our neighbors were
luxuriating in ice-cream to an extent that
roused all our ambition ; so we bought a
freezer, and here let me add that it was
one that would hold six quarts, and our
neighlKir's only held three; and they bor
row ours periodically, because theirs does
not hold enough when they have company.
Important deduction a "large one will
hold just as little as you w ish to make,
and a small one will not hold as much as
you would sometimes like. Then we,
viz.: the Pater, the Mater (myself), the
"help," and all the children, went at the
important task of freezing the custard, for
which I give a favwrite recipe below.
Our neighbors told us they pounded the
ice in a bag with an ax. So behold us
the Pater w ith a long kitchen apron on,
and a bran-new bag (or a new bran bag,
just as you like), with a big piece of ice
in it, out on the stone door-step of the
kitchen, applying the broad-side of an ax
vigorously, with the perspiration pouring
from every pore; myself standing with
the directions which came with the
freezer in one hand, and a spoon and
dish of salt in the other; the "help,"
armed with the handle for turning the
ireezer, waiting for the ice and salt, and
looking veiy cranky; the small fry run
ning to the door, back to the freezer, and
dancing round generally, smacking their
lips in anticipation of the coming treat.
At last the ice was pounded and put in
the freezer, and Bridget's part of the op
eration commenced. I spooned in the
salt, but there was a hitch somewhere the
cylinder would not turn, and Rridget ap
plied a little muscle, and oil" came tise cov
er. Then we readjusted it, and I took hold
and gave a few turns; stick number two
took place, and a little more strength
brought the cover olf again. Then the
head of the family tried it; I bringing my
muscle to bear on the cover meanwhile.
Rut the result of it was that the ice had all
to be taken out and pounded finer, which
was a moist operation, and by the time w e
had finished our clothes and the newly
painted kitchen floor were all bespattered
with brine.
The cost of that ice-cream ma- be
summed up as follows: 1st The freezer;
2d Rag ruined entirely; 3d Door stone
cracked; 4th Soiled trousers and dress;
5th Torn calico apron; 0th Profuse ex
penditure of strength and vitality; 7th
Some inward maledictions.
Rut experience has taught us how to do
the thing sensibly and easily-. We got
a strong box, about two or three feetsquare,
nailed it on a piece of board, so as to make
the lM)ttom double for strength. Then a
piece of scantling smoothed off at the top
with a drawing-knife, so as to be easily
held as a pounder. These things being
provided, we take our ice and freezer into
the cellar, where it is cool and out of the
w ay, put our ice into the Ikix, pound it un
til it is nearly the size of marbles; then
take a shovel and fill in about the cylinder
w ith alternate layers of ice and salt cither
coarse or fine salt will answer; I generally
use that in which my winter eggs were
packed. Two persons can do it quicker
and more easily, one turning while the
other puts in the ice and salt. Then when
it is nicely started and a little extra ice
pounded to fill up w ith as the other melts,
one of the workers can be dismissed. It
takes from twenty minutes to half an hour
to accomplish the desired end with one
freezer. When it is so still" we cannot turn
it any longer we take oil" the cover of the
cylinder and take out the " agitator," stir
it down smoothly and cover it tightly
again. Then we draw ofTthc water, till it
up with ice and salt, and set it away in a
tub with pieces of old carpet thrown over
it until we wish to use it.
Very little time is required, and we have
reduced it to such a system that we do
not dread it, and indulge at least once or
twice a week through the summer in this
luxury.
I forgot to add that for the convenience
of draw ing off the water before putting it
away in the tub we bored a small auger
hole in the side of the freezer very near
the bottom and put a cork in it; so we do
not have to tip the freezer, and we find it
a nice arrangement.
Recipe for the Custard. Two quarts
of milk, four tablespoons of corn-starch;
boil until well cooked. One quart of
cream put it on ice until well chilled ;
beat it with an egg-beater to a froth. Reat
the whites of fmir eggs to a froth and stir
them into the cream and then the whole
into the boiled milk. Stir one and a
quarter pounds of white sugar into the
milk while it is heating; then strain it be
fore the eggs and cream are added. When
cool, flavor and freeze. American Grocer.
The Troper Planting1 of Trees.
Driving along the other day we came
across a party setting out shade trees in
front of a gentleman's residence. It was
a sorry sight. The holes dug were about
the diameter of a hat; the trees, mean
time, with most of their roots hacked off",
were lying in the sun ready to be stuck
in these holes as soon as they could be
bored through the hard, stony ground.
Close by these were rows of trees which
must have been set in the same way, as
they were all stunted, partly dead, and
had not grown 6ix inches since planting,
two or three years ago. Tbey were un
protected, too, and many were scarred
by ill-treatment, and one or two broken
off.
No tree should be planted anywhere
within the reach of cattle, horses, etc.,
without being fully protected against in
jury. And this is especially the case
along highways, lliere need be no ix
pensive box; it may be made out of
rough boards, taking eiaht narrow strips
to a tree, and if strongly done w ill lust
for many years. And this protection
should be kept there, for, no matter how
large trees aie, horses can gnaw them
and vehicles may run against; them.

A most brilliant light has been produced
by a Lindon chemist by a very simple
method, lie nnds that, when common
saltpeter or nitrate of potassium is heated
to a temperature somewhat beyond, the
point ot lusion in a hard glass tube or
porcelain capsule mounted over a spirit
lamp, and small pieces of sulphur are then
successively introduced, a deflagration
ensues, accompanied by the emission of an
intensely powerful white light, which is
maintained as long as any of the sulphur
remains floating as a molten globule in the
fluid nitrate. The cost of this light is, of
course, very trilling, both ingredients be
ing exceedingly cheap. Thus, one ounce
of niter melted and fed with sulphur at the
rate of eight or ten grains at a time will
keep up a brilliant light for about ten
minutes at the expense for materials of
one cent.
Pine -apple Short-Cake. A couple of
hours before bringing the cake on the
table take a very ripe, finely-flavored pine
apple, peel it, cut as thin as waters, and
sprinkle sugar over it liberally; then
cover it close. For the short-cake take
sufficient llourforonepie-dish, of butter the
size of a small egg, a tablespoonful or
two of sugar, the yolk of an egg, two tea
spoonfuls of baking powder, a very little
salt, and milk enough to make a very soft
dough. Do not knead the dough, but just
barely mix it, and press it into the pic
plate. The baking powder and butter,
sugar and salt should be rubbed well
through the flour, and the other ingredi
ents then quickly added. AVhen time to
serve, split the cake, spread the prepared
pine-apple between the layers, and serve
with nothing but sugar and sweet cream.
N. R. Do not butter the cake; it would
destroy the delicate flavor. Harper's

Corn-Kaising-.
Corn is, by common consent, the most
valuable grain raised on this continent
and, probably, in the world; and corn
growing in the West is a part of every
farmer's business. A Western farmer's
specialty may be wheat, or tobacco, or
cattle, or wool, or pork, or broom-corn, or
castor beans, or fruit; but whatever it is,
raising a crop of corn is an indispensable
appendage to it. He must have corn for
his own use, if not o sell. It is the cheap
est of all stock-feed, and its convertibility
into so many useful forms increases its
homely value. It can be turned into
cattle, horses, mules, hogs, poultry and
spirits; and it is considered the most easi
ly raised of all crops one breaking up,
one planting and four plowings being the
regulation allowance of work for an aver
age corn crop.
And yet it may lc questioned whether
Western farmers really understand corn
growing. This is an audacious statement,
we know, and the Missouri Granger who
has been raising the grain olf and on for
forty years will, when he reads it, wonder
where" these city newspapers have learned
more about his business than he knows.
If there is one thing every old farmer
flatters himself he knows all alout it is
how to raise corn ; and to have his knowl
edge questioned at this time of life is
enough to cause his honest face to flush
with anger. Rut let us go to the record
ami, see what the facts are. The amount
of corn raised in this country is enormous ;
in 1870 it was 761,000,000 bushels, and
five years before, in 1805, it was estimated
at 032,000,000 bushels an average of over
20 bushels to every soul in the land. Of
this Illinois produced the largest portion,
130,000,000 bushels; Iowa came next with
00,000,000 bushels, and Missouri next to
Iowa with 00,000,000 bushels. These
figures show how important the crop is
how easily it is raised and what immense
quantities of it are consumed. Rut statis
tics carefully collected by the Department
of Agriculture at Washington, from the
year 1805 to the year 1873, force the convic
tion that the average yield per acre, com
pared with the maximum yields secured
by careful cultivators, is very low not
more than one-fourth what it might be. In
Maryland the average is 23 bushels per acre ;
in Virginia it is 22 bushels; in Pennsylva
nia it is. mishcis; in Ohio it is 37 bushels.
and for the United Stales the average is
24 bushels. The very highest average for
any one Mate is o'J bushels, lor Kansas.
llow insullicient these averages are may
be judged when it is stated that there arc
numerous well-attested cases in which
yields of 70 to 170 bushels, and even more,
of shelled cqrn have been obtained from
one acre of ground. In 183 the Carroll
County (Md.) Agricultural Society offered
a premium oi ;$iuu ior me largest amount
of corn raised on an acre, and it was taken
by Mr. J. Rrown, of Baltimore County,
who produced 1202 bushels of shelled
grain and 9,880 pounds of good fodder on
the limited area. The ground was a tim-
j othy meadow, broken deep, subsoiled and
iigniiy spread with stable manure; it was
then treated to an application of 500
pounds of bone-dust sown broad-cast, and
afterward harrowed and rolled. It was
marked off in furrows three and a half feet
apart and a compost of hog manure, salt
and gypsum sprinkled in the furrows; the
grain was planted six inches apart on the
10th of May. After coming up it was
carefully harrowed several times and after
ward plowed with a shovel plow. The re
sult was as we have stated.
In 1873 a Mr. Hudson raised on one
acre of ground on the "Oakridge Farm"
in Amherst County, Va., 170 bushels of
white corn, the fact being attested by Mr.
Fortune, a notary of the county. A copy
of the Virginia Farmers'' L'egigter, printed
by Edmund Rullin, at Petersburg, thirty
five years ago, has this statement: "Mr.
Meggison, of Albemarle County, was re
ported by the county society to have raised
110 bushels of sound shelled corn on one
measured acre of ground, being river bot
tom and thoroughly cultivated; a large
white sort of corn." In the Department
of Agriculture report for 1868 there is an
authenticated statement that Joseph Good
rich and Luther Page of Worcester,
Mass., each raised 111 bushels of shelled
corn on one acre of ground ; and the same
report gives instances in Ohio where 00
arid 101 bushels per acre were raised. The
Rockbridge County (Va.) society, at its
meeting in 1871, gave a detailed statement
of the results of competition for the pre
mium for the largest yield of corn : J. D.
II. Ross raised on one acre 76 bushels, and
on five acres 253 bushels; A. L. Nelson
raised 91 bushels on one acre, and 317
bushels on rive acres; and G. W. Petti
grew raised 97 bushels on one acre, and
4tt) bushel on five ucres. The treatment 1
in each case consisted of deep plowing
from ten to fourteen inches, and the appli
cation of home-made compost, a handtul
to every three hills of corn. At the meet
ing of the South Carolina Agricultural
and Mechanical Society in 1800 the re
sults of tw interesting experiments made
by John W. Parker were rejortcd. He
took a piece of swamp ground, two acres
in extent, and raised corn on it two years
in succession; it was thoroughly drained,
subsoiled, heavily manured from the cow
yard, and the liills additionally fertilized
with guano, salt and plaster at the rate of
200 pounds to the acre; the grain was
planted in drills, ten inches apart, and
thoroughly cultivated, one feature being
the irrigation of the field by turning on
it a stream of water so as to flow between
the furrows. The first year the yield was
147 bushels per acre, and the next it was
200 bushels per acre.
It will be said, perhaps, that this is
scientific farming; but, in reply, it may
be asked whether it is wise to sneer at
any farming as scientific that yields two
to three average crops of corn from an
acre of ground, in one season. Western
farmers cannot apply guano and plaster
to their ground but they can break it up
deep, roll and harrow it carefully before,
and again after, planting, and then culti
vate it thoroughly while growing; and
this is the secret of at least half the suc
cess in the experiments noted. Experi
ence demonstrates that the difference in a
crop of corn between careless and thor
ough cultivation is one-half, the same
piece of ground yielding twice as much
under good treatment as under careless
treatment; and there is little doubt
that the 06,000,000 bushels of corn
annually grown in Missouri could le
raised on half the area and with less cost
if a more effective method of cultivation
were practiced. St. Louis Republican.
Canse of Trichina? in Pork.
Some new cases of deaths due to the
eating of pork infested with trichina;
quoted in Western journals should be the
means of directing public attention anew
to the horrible disease of swine called
trieJiiiumi, and to the fact that when once
the parasite attacks a human being the re
sult is prolonged suffering and, in a mul
tiplicity of instances, death. The worm
existing in the pork literally bores its way
out of the stomach and into the muscles.
It has lately- been found that swine may
become infested with trichinae through
eating carrion, or even decayed vegetable
substances. This is a point worth con
sideration by farmers w ho incline to the
belief that dead chickens, putrid swill, or
any other filth about the place is legiti
mate food for pigs. The animals are not
dainty-in their tastes, and will lunch off"
their "dead relatives with infinite guslo;
but it is the poorest economy to permit
hogs to assume the role of scavenger. No
milk-dealer w ill allow his cows to eat gar
lic if he can help it, though the brutes are
crazily fond of the odoriferous weed; and
there is certainly more reason for the
farmer to sec that his jwrkers have no ac
cess to unclean food. Jntlieone case, if
precaution be neglected the taste of the
milk is affected ; In the other the entire
flesh is rendered poisonous and dangerous
food . Scitn t ific A merica n .

At this season of the year farm horses
arc obliged to work very hard, and it is
not only right and just, but for the pecu
niary interest of their owners, to see that
they are well fed. And it seems to me
that they ought not only to have good
food and plenty of it, but also that it
should be given to them wet. I believe
a great many horses are permanently in
jured by being kept iu the summer when
they work upon dry hay and meal. Just
what injury will result from this course of
feeding cannot certainly be foretold.
Whether it will take the form of derange
ments of the digestive organs or affections
of the throat and lungs will depend some
what upon the natural tendencies of the
animals, and the quality and condition of
the food which they receive. Rut injury
of some kind w ill be very likely to result.
It is but little trouble to wet the food, and
I am confident that it is better and safer
than it is to feed it dry. For a horse that
is at work most of the time I think "cut
feed" is the best which can be given. Rut
if the hay Is not cut it pays to throw on a
little water. Feeding dry meal has been
highly recommended, and I have tried it
faithfully, but am not satisfied with the
result; had rather put the meal in a pail
and mix it with water. Live Stock Journal.
