PREPARATION OF SEED CORN.

Mr.. Lansing Wetmere, an experienced
Pennsylvania farmer, states that he has had
his corn crop increased about 80 per cent.
by simple preparation Of the seed as
sUllows:--
At noon rf the day before planting, 18th
of May, (Says Mr.. W. | put my seed corn
TO soak in a strong decoction of cOperas
water-say 2 lbs. of cOperas to warm soft
water sufficient to cover a bushel of corn.
The next morning took cut peck, added
pint OF more Of soft. soap, stirred it
thoroughly, then put on plaster enough to
make it convenient to drop for planting,
say one quart. The whole field was planted
with seed thus prepared, except four rows,
which were plantcd with seed without any
preparation. The after culture of the whole
was alike-passing through each way with
the cultivator, and hoeing twice. The four
rows last mentioned were cut up, harvested,
and the corn weighed and measured by
itself; also four rows next adjoining, the
seed OF which had been prepared as above.
The produce Of the four rows of unpIepared
seed was eleven bushels and half; the
produce of the four rows from the prepared
seed was seventeen bushels-a difference
of five and half bushels of ears in one
hundred and twenty hills. The yield of
the remainder of the field averaged fully
equal to the four best rows inca sured
The difference ia the growth and ap-
pearance of the cqrn of the prepared and
unprerared seed was striking from the time
of its appearance above ground until it
tasseled-the former looking green and
vigorous, ihe latter pmy and yellow. 1t
was all cut down by the frost when about
three Inches high, but came on finely after
the BTSt of June. There was scarcely a
sofL sar in the whole field, excepting on the
f4Gr rows Of unprcparcd seed. These were
&Dout week later in ripening than that
from the prepared seed. The soil is a sandy
Inam. The whole expense of preparing the
bushel and three pecks of seed did not ex-
coed 624 cents. The increased produce of
the field, by preparing the seed, was over
200 bushels of ears.

ker. The deacon, nothing 10th, entered in
to the spirit of the thing, and we leave them
thus, nip and tuck" 20 look to the stran-
ger and Bob Carter, who FIT, and fought
and fit, until Squire Catchem and the Con-
stable came up; and IN their attempt to
preserve the peace and arrest the often
ders, the Squire was thrust through the
window of neighboring watch maker, do
ing heap of damage, while lawyer Hooker,
in attempting TO aid the Constable, was hit
in mistake, by the furious blacksmith, i'll
the short ribs. and went reeling down Gum
bo's cellar with frightful velocity! The
friends and fellow -churchmen Of Deacon
Pugh took sides against the quaker entagO-
mist, and the shopboys, of Abraham, seeing
their employer thus beset, came to the res
cue, while brace of stray Irishmen-full
of yaIor, and whiskey, believing it to be a
'sfree fight" tried their hands and sticks
upon the combatants indiscrimnately, so
that in less than one hour, the quiet and
happy borough Of Frogtown was shaken
from its proprety, by one grand, sublimely
ridiculous and terrific battle! Heads and
windows were smashed, children and wo-
men ran, sereeched and screamed, dogs
barked, dust few, labor ceased and SO flu
rious, mad and excited became the whole
community, that quiet looker-On, if there
had been any, would have sworn HI had
broken loose and the devils were all in Frog
town! A heavy thunder storm, finally put
an end to the row, the dogs were all more
or less killed, child severely wounded a
man scalded, wagon broken, the horse ran
himself to death, his owner was beaten
awfully by Bob Carter, whose wife and the
wives of many others were dangerously
scared; the painter was crippled, dry goods
ruined, quaker and deacon, two lrishmen,
Joe Tucker, town Constable, lawyer Hook
er, Squire Catchem, and some fifty others
shamefully whipped! Lawsuits ensued,
feuds followed, and the entire peace and
good repute of Frogtown annihihiIated-
all by remarkable dog fight.

FLORIDA LAND AGENCY

THE undersigned has established agency
i in the town of Alligator, Columbia Coun-
ty, Fla, for the purchase, sale or location of
Land Warrants, the purchase and sale OF lands
generally, improved and unimproved. The
fact now being established that Rail Road
is to be constructed Immediately connecting
the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, running
through the entire length of the county, East
and West, and in view of the great fertility
of our soil, the unusually fine growth of pine
timber the land, the healthfulness of the
climate, and the reasonable terms on which
lands can now be obtained, there is perhaps
no section of the Union which affords equal
inducements to the emigrant from the older
States. Having had some experience in farm
ing on the different kinds OF land, and ac-
CURED general knowledge of them through
out the county, and having acquired unusual
facilities for pointing out such as are for sale
either of public or private lands, ne feels
very confident of making it the interest of
ali persons wishing inform alton, or who may
have deter mined to settle in Florida to call
on him.

A TALE WITH A MORAL.

An industrious farmer. who was careful
to improve his lands, had one field which
was thickly covered with coarse gravel
stones. These he wished TO have removed
The work of picking these he divided a.
mong his children.
He called them together and said: 600
now quickly TO work, while you have time,
and the weather is favorable"
They all went earnestly to work, each on
his part except Frank, who deferred his
work and spent his time in all kinds of
nmusements viii other boys. The rest
finished their work before Frank had even
begun with his.
when" they asked him, ''do you in
tend TO pick the stone from your part of the
field See. we have finished our work, and
You have not even commercials
'0," said Frank, sis not the wear long,
and summer is at the door. When sum-
mer has once fairly set in, will do more
in one day than you have done in a whole
week"
As the sun rose higher in the heavens,
and the air and the earth was made hot by
the beams, he became weary; for the work
MAS Row too hard for him, and drops of
sweat rolled from his face whenever he
made an attempt to work, and he gave up
through WEAKNESS. Then he said to him.
self: Il will wait until the cool autumn
time comes then this work will be easy 10
Il E,,S e al, /:
Thus the summer passed, and the air be-
came cool by the winds which began to
blow from the nqrth. Now Frank was de-
termncd 20 go earnestly To work. Scarce
", however, had he commenced when the
fierce showers of rain drove hun frequently
from the field, and he came wet to the
house.
The showers will soon cease" he said :;
:'there will be many lovely days when once
autumn with IFS rough storms is past, before
the winter sets in.''
Thus Spake Frank-and winter drew on
Apace. As the sky grew clear, the storms
ceased, and the sun shone, clearly from the
cloudless h5aveR. lie hGstened again to the
held. But with Ehat confusion did he now
Pereeivs his error, and his folly, when it
was too late. 1t was now impossible TO
pick stones, for they were frozen to the
earth Sadly, and filled with shame, he
was compelled TO return to the house.
Now, farmers, what thou doest, do quick
iy. You will regret every delay in doing
necessary work. ..Procrastination is the
thief of time" The present honr is yours ::
you know not whether future one will be
yours or not! How will you, once in old
age, be ashamed and filled with sorrow
when you see thet the most lovely part of
your life is past, and you have not used it
TO proper purposes of life.
