According to promise wc give very brief notes of the subject re cently discussed by the Club, which we think will be found valuable to our Nebraska farmer readers : To the question, How many oats should be sown to the acre?, P. S. Griffin answered that he had raised his greatest crop with 3 bu. to the acre. Jas. Russell said that he at one timo had sown 5 bu. and the oats stood so thick on the ground he couldn't cut them down, nis present practice was 2 Jf bu. if a seeder was used, and three if broad cast, by hand. Jacob Ernst said the richer the land the less seed was required; from 1 to 3 bu. was his practice. What is the best treatment for tender shoulders in horses? All the members who gavo their exper ience agreed that the collars should fit neatly, bo as soft as possible, and as preventive, the shoulders should, (before commencing heavy spring work) be washed iu a solution of salt and water; the addition of a little alcohol to the same had also - been found useful. How to cure a kicking cow? Mr. Ernst gavo a method which he said he kuow by experience was effec tive. Buckle a strap tightly around the body of the cow immediately in front of the udder. We have spaco only for very brief mention of the addresses of Mr. Ernst on raising calves, and Mr. Reed on corn. The best time to have calves come in was when the grass comes, so that they could have plenty of milk, i. e., those that run with the cows. At the present prico of butter it was his opinion that the calves should go with the cows. He had always given sweet, skimmed milk to calvep, but ho had heard of sour milk also being fed. After four mouths the milk feed might be stopped and oats given. lie didn't know of any feed that could be compared with oats for young stock. Mr. Reed's address on corn, part ly written, but mostly oral, contain ed some very excellent suggestions enforced by bits of his own exper ience. He thought our average yield of corn, taking one farm with another aud one year with another was about 30 bu. to the acre. 70 good ears make a bu. 3 of such to the hill (in rows 3 ft. 8 in. apart) would give 137 bu. Io the acre; 2 would give 92 bu. It had been very forcibly impressed upon his mind that a great deal more care bestow ed in procuring excellent seed corn would richly pay. He had purchas ed seed, corn in Iowa, eplendid lookiug, planted it, and it didn't grow. This led him to adopt the rule never to plant corn without testing it. "Willi corn, as with every farm product, the best varieties would always pay best. To select it he thought it a good plan to go through the field before fully ripe, taking the best cars from the best stocks, or, while gathering, have a basket in the wagou for the rccep tiou of the best cars, from which the very best can afterwards be solected. He would uot use for seed the ker nels on the ends of the ears, believ ing that it made a difference. Mr. Ernst suggested afterwards that the middle kernels gave uniformity of size, which was necessary in planting by machinery -to secure a uniformity in the number of kernels to a hill. With the utmost care in the selection of seed he would still not be sa tisfied, but would invaria bly teat its growing qualities. As to the preparation of tho ground.he believed in plowing deep, and would go down eight to ten inches, if he could. Farmers gen erally believed in deep plowing for corn, but supposed they were going down six inches, when by actual measurment it was only four. It was best to carry a measure and not leave the depth to guess-work. In using a harrow iu corn he preferred the Thomas smoothing harrow the teeth being turned backward, the growing stalks were not displaced. He believed that the labor spent in thorough culture is well rewarded, the drier tho season the more work. Every bushel of corn raided ou the farm was worth, right there, for feeding purposes, twenty-five cents, and if, instead of 30 bu., we could, by more care in the selection of seed, and better culture of our fields, bring the average up to 70 bu. to the acre, it certainly would pay us to make the exertion. In subsequent discussion of the subject, the membors who spoke, agreed that corn and potatoes should be planted in rows north and south ; that corn -should (when worked exclusively by horses, as it is here) be planted so as to be work ed two ways.

Inquire of Higgins&Criles. Obituary. Mrs. Sarah 31. Eyman, wife of John Eynian, Lost Creek, died April 3d, 4 a. m., in Columbus, at the residence of B. . Rogers, where she had come for medical attendance. She was buried, April 4th, from the Presbyterian church, Rev. J. A. Iiood, an acquaintance and friend of the family for many years, officiating. Her remains were followed to the cemetery at Co lumbus by a large number of neighbors of Lost Creek and other friends. Mrs. Eyman was born in Barnstead, Belnap Co., X. II., April 23, 1840, and was the daughter of Mollis Bunker. In 1K55 2Ir. Bunker and family moved to Macon Co., Illinois, aud there Sarah was married to John Eyman, Feb. 1SG7. Mr. and Mrs. Eymau, with her parents aud brother 3Iilo, moved to Lost Creek, Platte Co., In the spring of 1S72. Mrs. Eyman had been in poor health for nearly a year, before her decease, but was able to attend to her household cares till last Christinas. The officiating clergyman read at hor funeral the 31st chapter of the book of Proverbs, com mencing at the ninth verse, as appro priate to her. Mrs. Eyman was a noted housekeeper and took great delight in entertaining friends. The poor were always sure of her sympathy and assistnnce, and her ten der heart took thought for the comfort of even tho animal creation. She was a devoted wife and mother and affection ate daughter. .Mrs. Eyman retained her conscious ness to the last. Sho bade good bye to her family; charged her son Frank to be a good boy and not forget his mother, and sent messages to absent friends. Her thoughts, reverting to her former homes, she exclaimed ''Good bye! New Hampshire; good bye I Illinois." She was willing to die, through her trust in the Saviour. Her last words were, "Bless the Lord." The writer tenders his deep sympathy to the husband, son, aged parents, broth er and sister. He trusts that her mem ory will ever be cherished, and her virtues emulated by her acquaintances, and he hopes both for relatives and friends, "That they may meet her again in that beautiful land, The far-away home of the soul; Where no storms ever beat on the glit tering strand, AVhile the years of eternity roll." u. 1'otice to the 'i'ar-Pujerii.
