Carclessncss In Cultivatins Corn.

Let us calculate the cost Of care
less practice in cultivating corn; we
will take 20 acres and say. we place
the hills three feet nine inches apart,
which is good distance, we will have
ffty>five thousand seven hundred and
seventy-eight hills. By the process
that is commonly practiced, it is sell
dom those hills will average two good
ears to the hill, owing to the careless
practice of selecting the seed, dropping,
ploughing &c. In the first place, we
should break UP the ground deep, fur>
row out straight and drop plenty in a
hill, and after it is up to the hight of IS
inches or two feet, pull all out but three
stocks, (but not like French's negro,
who, when he found but one or two in
hill pulled them also, because he had
been told to leave but three stocks in a
hilD by this practice we will obtain
l67 1884 ears, and in common season
to take the ears as they stand on the
stocks 100 will make bushel, which
will be 1893 bushels, or about SO bu>
shells to the acre, and as remarked be-
fore, in general way, the farmers Of
this country do not get more than two
thirds of this amount from the acre ; or
at most As bushels, where there is one
man raises more, there are two that fall
short.
If this calculation is correct, and we
believe it will be found so in a general
Way, then each farmer is losing 464 bu-
shells Of corn, this at 25 cents is SIG.
A. sum sufficiently larg to pay for the
culture of the crop. If our views are
not correct we hope some of our expe>
rienced farmers will set US right on this
subject Kentucky Farmer.

A Terrible Deed.

In Illustrating the desperate condition
to which the lower classes in England
are reduced through grinding poverty.
the London correspondent OF the Bos-
ton Post relates the following occur
renee, the bare perusal of which makes
the blood run cold; he says, however,
that it is too well authenticated TO be
doubted:
at appears that there are "Philan-
thropic Burial Societies, in many towns
in England, which pay certain sums
TO members for the funeral expenses of
deceased child. One of the rules of
"The Stockport Burial Society" is that
each member shall pay penny per
week, and at the end Of seventeen
weeks subscription become full mem
bers. If child after that period dies.
the parents are entitled to the sum Of
three pounds and twelve shillings; and
deductlng one shilling and sixpence for
the collectors fee, and two shillings
"FoR LIQUOR" the sum of three pounds
eight and sixpence remains for the fu-
neral expenses of the child. AT the
Chester Assizes, two married couples,
whose average ages were only twenty
six, were indicted. Their names were
SANpvs-and one couple were charged
with having administered arsenic to the
child, by which they murdered it, and
the others were charged with being ac-
cesSorics TO the crime before and
after the fact. The deceased, with
whose murder they were accused, was
thus awfully killed for the diabolical
purpose of obtaining the sum of three
pounds eight and siXpence from tho
Stockport Burial Society"

The effect Of lime in decomposing
vegetable matter is we'll known.
Near the last Of the sth month, (Au-
gust,) fifty bushels of lime to the acre
were spread over a clover field almost
run out, from which first crop Of grass
had been taken at the usual time. The
second crop grew tolerable well, and
was poughed down with the lime, pre-
paratory to seeding with winter grain.
At the interval Of four or FIVE weeks
the ground was crossed ploughcd, and
the vegetable mass Of grass, weeds and
roots, found to be almost pulrcrized,
and Incorporated with the soil.
1t is customary with many farmers
in this vicinity, to apply handful Of
ground plaster to each hill of Indian
corn, after it appears few inches a.
bove ground. A small portion Of the
corn field thus treated, was last spring
reserved for an experiment, with the
same quantity Of powdered or fine lime.
applied in like manner.
The result has been in favor OF tho
lime, both the stock and ear Of the corn,
being much superior to the average
production Of the field Farmers

Hints to Farmers.

The editor of the Frederick Nd. Examiner. al
ludng TO the subject of the great number of barns
struck by lightning this season, says--"the great
number Of barns that are 6led by lightning after
every harvest, should sdmonish farmers of the ex-
podiency of having conductors attached 10 their
harms, The fermentation produced in both hay
and grain after being stored sends up column Of
steam, which furnishes an excellent conductor ofe-
lec,rcity, and for the want Of suitable conductor
to carry il ha'mlessiy into the ground have eve
ry year half dozen cases to record of the burn
ing Of barns, with all the product of the previous

Good citizens of Baltimore,
Pray listen 10 my dtty;
l sing the race John Gilpin run,
Just inside Of the city.
Musing along the rugged road,
Did John in silence ride;
When 10 he did look out and saw
Death trotting by his side.
HslIoo! my friend let me get in,
Death said with language civil,
His fingers on his nose, John sigh'd-
I'd see you to the devil.
You've tried TO suck me in before,
At many time and place;
dare you now with me to run.
And dare you to your face.
Death, on his pale horse, shook his bones,
And gave a ghastly grin;
I'll run q race with you, he cried,
And thought he'd suck John in.
If in this matter should lose,
And you should win, say,
hope, sir, as gentleman,
You'll take me for the pay.
John put his fingers to his nose,
His mouth With guilds well Grand,
You cannot take me IN, he cried,
IF you do, I'll be d-n'd.
Away went Gilpn down the hill,
No race was e'er SO hard;
Away, on his pale horse, went death,
The buggy aad the Bard.
Away his hat 9ew out behind,
His papers all weae gone;
Says Death, I'll cstch you if you fall,
tkaak you, sir, said John.
The people ali ran out to see.
For soon the news was SPREAD

And scream'd as loud as they could bawl,

Away, away went Gilpin, stir,
AS swiftly as the wind
And tho Death whip'd and spurd his horst
He left him far behind
A creditor, upon the road,
Held out his hand for pay;
Said John I'm sony can't stop
To talk with you TO day.
A lady from her window waved
Her 'kerchief IN his view;
I'm sorry you can't cali, she cried,
Said John I'm sorry too.
Still onward in the race he went.

an argument could be advanced on the
negative side Of this question, until | saw
the long anti-bond letter Of the honorable
Jacob Thompson, which has lately fallen
into my hands. In this letter the writer
replies TO two interrogatories, viz: Wheth-
er the State bonds we're issued in confor-
nifty with the provision of the Constitu-
ton? And if not 50 issued, whether it
COMFORTS with the true dignity Of the
State 10 pay them? Under the first head
Mr. Thompson shows some disposition
for calm investigation; but under the Sc
cond'he evidently aims at etiervescence,
and well he succeeds. Here he boIs
over with the unnatural heat of artificial
excitement, and rants eXquisitely, and at
great length, in favor Of the anti bond pa.
troiism, in which he recognizes the iden-
tical spirit which produced the American
revolution, and achieved American hides
pendence.
Mr.. Thompson asserts that the supplies
mental act relating to the charter Of the
Union Bank is unconstitutional, and cites
various provisions in the original act to
sustain his position His statements are
tedious, complicated and confused, but the
main point with him is, to show that the
constitution was violated in making the
State stakeholder under the supplement
