The Faculties, for intellectual abilities, moral
worth and professional requirements, will compare
fav rabe with the most distinguished in our coun
try. The medical faculty constitutes an anomaly
in this or any other country-al OF them are able
lecturers and the best OF teachers
Those who will contemplate our geographical
position, and the extent of our popu uatlon can have
no doubt as to the eligibility ofoui situation Tor an
enterprise of the kind. As to. health, including
all seasons Of the year, we deny that ANY OTHER
CITY HAS MORE.
A c, mmon error exists in the minds OF many
students relative to the place Of studying medicine;
those who intend practicng among the diseases Of
the West and South should certainly educate
themselves ata school whose faculty are PRACTICAL
ly acquainted with those diseases
That the public may be satisfied of the perma-
nency of this school, we feel it our duty to state,
that the Trustees aud Faculty form UNIT in action
which augurs well for its luture success; and tina.
the peculiar internal organization which connects
them, canno, be interrupted.

CAMoM1LE.-A few roots of this plant should
have place in every garden. Not only are its
medical qualities highly valuable but its pres
ence among vegetables is supposed to be an Egis
Of protection against many diseases to which
they are subject 1t should be transplanted in
to warm and rich soil early in the spring, and
be assisted during its early development, by
copious manurng and frequent PRESSURE
When plants, late in the season, exhibit symp-
toms of decay or general debility the planting Of
small root Of camomile in their vicinage is
frequently the most speedy and efficacious rem
edy that canbe applied. The odor or aroma,
diffused by this plant is also known to be highly
repellant to many kinds ofaligerous insects and
its presence among those species of plants and
vegetables nfestcdby such enemies will protect
them more effectually than almost any other a
gent known and at a comparatively small ex-
pense.

Selecting Seed Corn

It is not my purpose in this article to urge the
importance of selecting seed corn, because ev-
cry farmer will admit this, whether he practses
it or not; but to expose the absurdity of some
recommendations on the subject found in oul
agricultural papers. 1t is recommended by some
to gather seed corn before the corn is housed
by going in the field and pulling the top ear of
of stalks that have two ears. Let any man try
this plan, and he will soon be like those who
threw away good stock of hogs to purchase
the Berkshire. Ina few years the cry was, "Or
if only had my old stock back again. lfthis
plan is persevered in a few years, your stock o.
corn will be altogether changed. Instead OF
these fine large of which you are now
proud you will have very small ears-in othe,
words ''pop corn and like the Berkshire man
you will wish you had your old stock back a
gain. Others will recommend picking out the
very largest ears in the field; which plan is as
Objectionable as the other. Any man who will
try it will soon become satisfied that it will not
do. You will have very large short ear with
prodigious cob. A few objections to which
will name: 1st 1t requires very strong land to
make such corn; I'd. If it does not make a full
ear it makes nothing; Sd. Ifgathered early it will
mill dew, and the corn become rotten-hearted;
and 4th. Is more subject to rot than the other
corn.
Now if you would have good corn and keep
the stock up, attend to the housing of your corn
and pick out such corn for seed as you like, and
put it away to itself and keep this up eveay year.
l like the following: the ear to be about ten in
ches long the cob, small, the grains long, and
very wide, and about sixteen rows of grains on
the cob On poor land, the grain should be short
and rather hinty.
To combine all the good qualities of different
corn in one ear is impossible. You cannot have
a very large ear, or very long, and very small
cob together. But here is one thing every man
can do; he may improve his stock of corn by
changing and mixing with his neighbors; just as
much as he can his hogs, cows, &c.
Reader, ifyou have any thing to say to this
article, for or against, just write it down on a
piece of paper and send tito the EDITORS to pub
fish. so that others may be benefited by your
judgcmnt and experience. In this way persons
in different sections may exchange views and
perhaps benefit each other. Messrs Editors
will you publish such articleso

IroR.-Allen Campbell, Esq, for many year.
Chief Engineer Of the Harlem Railroad, has re
Gently been invited TO undertake the construc
ton Of a railroad in Chill, S. A., which, wher
completed, will be the first railroad ever con.
structed south of the equator. This is very
deserved compliment to one of our first Ameri.
can engineers, and is compliment to Ameri-

The road is 10 run from the port of Caldera,
on the Pacific, to the town of Copiapo, distant
fifty.fiye miles. This town lies in about 27O
south latitude, in climate of remarkable salu-
brity. .4"
The company is composed of some of the
worthest residents of Chill, and the road will be
mainly under the direction of Americans. The
line of the road is straight, and the elevation to
be overcome does not exceed one thousand one
hundred feet, with grade of four or five miles
or fifty feet per mile.
The great business of the road will be to trans
port copper and copper ores from the mines of
Copiapo, and coal for smelling, and provisions
for the consumption of the miners
Mr.. Campbell's compensation is to be $4,000
a year, and his expenses out and back, paid
He is to be accompanied by his brother Alexan'
der Campbell, Esq, the recent domestic candi-
date for State Engineer, and MIR. Walton w
Evans, Esq, as assistant Engineer, who will
each receive $4,000 per annum and their trav-
cling expenses.

Heat shovel to bright red-cover it with
grains of Indian compress them with cold
aat-iron. They will burn to coal and exude an
oil on the surface of the fat-ron with which rub
the ring worm, and after one or two applications
will be kilt as dead as Julias Caesar. The pre-
scription being very simple deserves trial.

Advantages of Railroad Transportation of
2 ..~.. Live Stock.
An intelligent practical farmer from Clark
county, KY, recently gave US the following
facts, as illustrative of the vast importance of
Railroads to the Agricultural interests of Ken
lucky.
He was in Cincinnati at a packing house, dur
ing the packing season, and his attention being
attracted by the excellent condition of a lot Of
hogs, then being cut up in his presence, he re-
marked to the owner that he must have fatten-
ed them near the city, as they had nothing of
the feverish and mottleish appearance of hog
driven from distance. The answer elected the
fact that they had been shipped, that morning
before 3 clock in railroad car. 81 miles from
the city, and delivered in Cincinnati, slaughter
ed, cut and barrelled before 10 the next morn
ing, and the farmer ready to 60 home by the
evening train. The whole cost for transport
ton was lac. head for his hogs numbering
1914. Upon inquiry he found that hogs of the
same weight driven from Kentucky similar
distance lost ID lbs in gut fat, which compared

came safely to market, "a rare occurrence) the
cost of driving and the loss of weight made a
difference in favor of the Ohio farmer of $4 Is
a head, or $244 IA, upon 1914 hogs Of the weight
Of those referred to.
Our informant then went into calculation
showing conclusively, that to the farmers hay
ing in circuit of 60 miles around central de-
pot, for the interior and stock growing counties
of the State would save by railroad Transports

of dollars in ten years-equal to the cost Of
constructing the road from the point designated
to the Ohio river.

Peoria and Oqua,oku Railroads. the Rail-
road Convention held at Peoria on the 18th inst.
it was resolved to abandon the Peoria and Oquaw
ka Railroad charter, and organize under the gen.
eral Railroad Law, with the name of "The
Peoria and Mississippi Railroad Company" On
call for subscription to the road by those pres
ent at the meeting, $4,000 was subscribed
enough to build one mile of it! That is very
small beginning, and looks significant of the
fate to the road.
