PLoUGHINo IN SEPTEMBER FOR CoRN.--In
this country the wire-worm has made great des-
ruction in the corn for the last ten years. have
accidentally found out remedy that has succeed
ed twice in preventing the worm from destroying
the young corn. In Sept 1912, poughed part
of a clover sod for wheat, but the great drought
prevented my finishing the field, so that conclud-
ed to put that clover sod field in corn in the spring
Of l643. The part pIoughed in Sept. ls42 es-
capped the ravages of the worm, while the land
alongside, poughed in the spring of 1913, was
nearly all taken by the worms. This induced me
to try again, which did in the month of Sept
1913, with the same success as before stated To
plough in November and December, will not, as
believe, be of any use whatever as preventive
against the worm. l have known field part
poughed in September, part in December, and the
residue in March following. The first escaped the
rayages of the worm the second and last were both
destroyed in greater or less degree-all in the
same field. Now, If September ploughing will
prevent the destroyer, it will save the farmer many
bushels Of corn. 1t has succeeded in three instan-
ces TO my knowledge, the reason for which leave
for others better qualified to ascertain

GETTING Poor ON Rich LAND, AND RIcH ON
things says the Ohio Cultivator, told us the follow
ing little history, which we hope will pillow very
deeply into the attention of all who pillow very shall
low in their soils
Two brothers settled together in - county.
One of them on a cold ugly, clay soil, covered with
blackjack oak not one of which was large enough
to make half dozen rails This man would new
er drive any but large, powerful Conastoga horses,
some seventeen hands high. He always put three
horses to large plow and plunged it in some ten
inches deep. This deep blowing he invariably
practiced and cultivated thoroughly afterwards
He raised his seventy bushels of corn to the acre
This man had brother about six miles off, set
tied on rich White River bottom land farm and,
while blackjack clay soil yielded seventy bushels
to the acre this fine bottom land would not average
fifty. One brother was steadily growing rich on
poor land, and the other steadily growing poor on
rich land.
One day the bottom land brother came down to
see the black jack oak farmer, and they began to
talk about their crops and farms, as farmers are
very apt to do.
GLOW is it," said the first, ''that you manage on
this poor soil to beat me in crops"
The reply was 81 ,cork my land"
That was it exactly Some men have such rich
land that they won't icork it and they never get
step beyond where they began. They rely on the
soil, not on labor, skill, or care. Some men ex-
pect their lands TO work and some men expect to
work their land and this is Just the difference be-
tween good and bad farmer

Expert Exeeutions--A Hard Story.

The Boston Journal recently told pretty tall
story Of Sir Everard Digby, who was executed in
England for political offence. Alter decopi'ation
the executoners took up his head by the hair, aud
setting it down on the block, exclaimed, there is
the head of traitor. The head instantly replied,
that is a lie.'
This story reminds us Of another, relating TO the
selection of an executioner by the Dey Of Algers,
some so years since. 1t was the custom to make
the selections from the prisoners of war, aud the
Office was much sought as the person selected thus
obtained his liberty. On the occasion referred TO,
there was three candidates, Frencbman an Eng
lishman, and an American The trial Of skill was
to be made in the public square of Agiers. Three
convicts were brought out and placed upon the
stand, their necks and shoulders made bare, and
red thread drawn about the neck OF each to mark
the place Of decapitation. The Frenchman ad
vanced first, and with single strike Of the sword,
severed the head Of his man so near the line as TO
call forth the oudest plaudits from the delighted
Algerines The Englishman next came forward
and with inimi.able skill decapitated his subject
The acclamations were loud and long, from every
side, and seemed doubtful, to which of the two,
the prize would be awarded for, that it would be
to one or the other them, did not seem to admit
of question The American, however, was enti-
tied to trial, and took his position When all
things are ready, he gave whsk Of the sword, so
sudden and so swift that it hardly observed,
and the convict exclaimed 'Ah you have missed
me Have t. says he, spit them Leaning for
ward little to spit, the head tumbled from the
shoulders, and rolled away upon the platform, hav-
ing been severed with such exceeding nceness,
that the subject himself was not aware of it. The
whole audience were now silent with establishment,
and the Office was awarded TO the American.
