Cheap Compost for Corn,

Having received the credit for two
years past, of having as good pieces OF
corn as any in your neighborhood, and
attributing the success mainly to the
use ola single handful Of cheap com.
post, dropped in each hill before
planting the corn, we give you a
statement, as TO how We form 1t. ..
Supposing load to contain twen-
ty-five bushels, we take two loads of
muck manure from our hog-yard, one
load of wood ashes, and three bush
els of plaster paris. Work the parts
thoroughly together with a Doe or
shovel. Our corn ground having re-
lceived coating of manure before
being pIowed, the harrow follows the
ploR lengthwise Of the burrows until
the surface is well pulyerized.s We
mark one way for the hills with a
shallow fiirruw of the pillow, and then
draw chain the other way which
shows the place for each bill, The
compost gives the corn a start, and
the manure helps it out. we have
also, for the two years past, soaked
our seed corn in strong solution of
tobacco water, and have not been
troubled much with worms. Let it
remain in the solution from twelve
to twenty four hours.

results.

A DegS.su.


Many years ago, an English ship
was at enc Of our docks, GU board of
which was bulldog. The animal
was SO ferocious that he gained anex-
tensiye reputation. Chained at the
ganggay of the ship, he spent the
Aveleng day in the hopeless task Of
sprlngiag at every person who passed
along, either on pleasure or business.
The owner, first mate of the vessel,
would sit for hours and detail the
wonderful deeds OF this mighty dog.
Crowds of idlers daily collected, and
there stood the hero, or rather,'there
rayed the insane creature at-the null
titude, each individual INDUCING the
vague hope, that he would presently
break loose and pitch into somebody,
and thus show his powers. -.
Among the idlers. was an Indian
who occasionally visited the city, and
made few pence by shooting an
arrow at pennies stuck in the end of
a stick. Upon the very appearance
of the Indian, the bulldog was par
ticulariy violent, greatly to the
amusement of the fellow, who took a
malicious pleasure in irritating the
animal The mate finally intertered,
and told the Indian to go away lest
the dog might break loose aud eat
him Up. The Indian, not the least
alarmed, in broken English an
nounced to the crowd. that if the
dog was brought down to the ground
and chained to post, be would, for
five dollars, fight the dog with moth
ing bat his hands and teeth. The
imoney was raised, and the mate, af-
ter expressing much reluctance at
the idea of having the Indian killed,
brought the dog down from the ship,
and fastened him to post. The
Indian put away his bow and arrow,
left his neck-bare, and rolled up his
shirt-sleeves. A ring was formed,
, and the battle commenced.
The Indian approached the dog,
crawling on all iours, barking aud
growing as if he was one himself
The bulldog meanwhile jumped and
fumed at the end Of his chain, CRASHED
bis teeth, fcamed at the mouth while
his eyes beamed fire with irritation.
The Indian, however, kept up his
pantomime, and gradually brought
his face in fearful proximity to the
dogs teeth. The mate now inter-
fered, for he felt confident the In.
dian would be killed; but the crowd
cad become excited, and insisted up
on seeing the thing out" A mu-
tual silence ensued between the COM
batants, the dog straiDing bis chain
lin his anxiety to reach the Indian,
until it was as straight and solid as a
bar of iron. Suddenly the Indian
seized the bull dogs under.lip be-

yells of pain; whereupon the Indian
shook him a moment, as a. Cal. does a
mouse, and then let his hold co.

between his legs, retreated from his
enemy, and screamed with terror to
get beyond the reach of the chain.
