Good Seed.

Friend Freas My advice to all far
mers is, >" Propagate from the best" This
should bc the motto of every one. Rath-
er pay an exorbitant price for a valuable
article, than cucumber your soil with that
which will repay you with nothing but
perplexity and shame. l have heard far
mers remark that the care and scrupulous
caution exercised by some of their agricul-
tural brethren, in the selection of their
,eds, scions, &c, I" is all nonsense"
Now / entertain very different view of
this matter. If | select for seed, from
my field of corn, large, well developed,
sound ear, of early maturity and superior
weight of grain, / entertain no doubt in
my own mind, that the product Of Il a
ear will be of a superior quality ; that it
will possess, in very visible and marked
degree, the peculiar excellence of the par
ent from which it is derived. No one
who wishes to produce an excellent article
of fruit, would insert scion Of the CON-
mon wild crab, for that purpose; he would
procure scions from the best and most val
liable varieties to be found, and thus en-
sure the attainment of the result at which
he aimed. In sowing wheat, rye, oats,
barley, peas and other like productions, it
is much better to pay an extravagant price
for superior seed, than to SOW a poor and
inferior article, even if it should be fur
nishcd free of cost. The labor Of prepar-
ing the soil, manuring, sowing and har.
ves,ing, are in both cases very nearly the
same and although small crop may not
exhaust the soil in the same degree as an
abundant one, yet no farmer would take
this circumstance into consideration against
the disadvantage Of losing valuable croI
would he? My advice, therefore, Is al
ways procure the best seed. In the end
no loss will result from this course, but
the reverse. l have always found it so.-

almost instantly.

HOW TO HAKE MANURE.

MR. EpIroR There has been much of
late in the agricultural papers about max
ing manure. Now every good farmer will
make all the manure he can. Some of our
Dutch farmers are slow to try all new pat
terms that may be offered: this may be
wrong in some cases, but some "patents"
have a great deal of humbug.
Every farmer ought to use his straw to
the best advantage-that is, so as to make
the most manure; but l confess l am at a
loss to know what way is best, although 1
have tried several. Some say, Make all
your manure under sheds; others, Let it
be exposed to sun and rain, and it will
ferment sooner Most writer's advise that
it may be made under cover, which l have
no doubt is one Of the best ways, but it
has its objections, too. 1t is almost impos-
sible to get so much straw in fit order to
plow under, on farm where there is much
manure made and but little stock kept, for
it should be used for stable litter before
being put under sheds.
The way / convert my straw to manure
is as follows when we thresh, We put all
the straw on long stack We use all We
can for bedding, and every time we clean
the stable we haul the straw out around
the stack, and let the cattle around it, and
they will bring it down in short time.
We salt all our straw as we stack it: to
every three or four hundred sheaves We
take about a. gallon of salt. If we want
the stack down quick, we give our cattle
no salt but what is in the straw, and this
makes them work it down in few weeks.
Putting the stable manure all around the
stack, and the cattle pulling the straw over
it, keeps it covered almost as good as if it
was under sheds. | have had the straw of
over four hundred bushels of wheat put on
one stack, and in less than two months had
it down and read dy for another. Before
putting up another, We covered the spot
with the stable manure-then put up the
stack, and salt it as before. We have now
the third stack worked down on the same
spot, and the manure ready to go to the
field. There ought no water to fall on it
but what falls by rain or snow.
This, Mr.. Editor, is my way of making
manure. If some Of my brother farmers
can show better and easier way, will
surely try it. And as the Chronicle gives
large space for the benefit of Farmers, l
hope to hear from them often on this and
other kinds Of farming.

Cannibalism, Crime, and Punishment

They plead starvation as their excuse for

Some horrible scenes of RIGHTEOUSNESS,
murder, and punishment, had occurred at
Socorro, in the closing days of January.
Bands of armed rufians, discharged team
sters, soldiers, and frontier desperadocs,
had been prsctis n5 fiendish xcCsies,

before Judge Berthold, on the Both Of

notwithstanding the threats and prepara.

Preserving Corn from Worms.

In the spring Of 1S47, we ploughed up
one acre in a corner of six acre meadow,
which had been several years in grass, and
the whole of which was much infested
with cut-worms and theyellow wire-worm
The acre was planted with corn, and total
ly destroyed by the worms. Late the en-
suing fall, the whole field was manured
and turned over smoothly; the spring Of
1S4S the whole was sown with barley,
which was very much injured by the
worms-in many places entirely destroyed.
In September, it was sown with wheat
with the same result as with the barley.
In the spring of 1850, we manured it with
fresh barnyard manure, turned under !;
narrowed and marked three feet and half
apart by two and halt, and planted corn,
four grains in hill, the first of June. 1t
came up in five to seven days, and is now
very promising piece, as forward as any
planted the middle Of May.
The seed was soaked in decoction of a
pound of tobacco in four gallons Of water.
There were plenty of worms in the ground,
as 1 found in planting and hoeing but
they would not touch the tobacco-scented
corn, while there was not single weed to
BE- found; and indeed they did no small
benefit in destroying the grass and weeds.
The field was kept as clean Of everything
but corn as it we'll could be. At the first
hoeing observed large mullen plant,
the leaves Of which were eaten through
like riddle, and upon digging around it
found over twenty cut-wOrms.-4tbdny

the love Of free institutions, he migrated to

the West Indies, and in that city married
his first wife. In 1902, Mr. Gale removed
to Northumberland county, and purchased
a farm in Chilisquaquc township, which
he cultivated and improved judiciously
and there resided until his death He be-
