HARVESTING CORN.
Hints for The .NcaSon.

INNS IOF me SEASON
From present appearances and the best
information within our reach, we think il
may be pretty safely predicted that over
wide range of our country this is not dcs
tined to be great corn year. \ large
part of the growing corn Is too late TO fully
mature, unless we have an unusually warm
September and October, IL circumstance
hardly to be expected. Therefore it will
probably be the safer course for most
farmers to cut up and shock their corn as
soon as It will any way anSwer-that :, if
it can be done before receiving much in
jury from frost; by 50 doing they may save
much in the value Of fodder and much corn
would ripcn in the shock that would be
nearly ruined by frost.
We have several times seen corn cut up,
and tied in moderately sized bundles and
slung across poles over the barn foor
where it has dried perfectly, and the fodder
was much better than it would have been
had it been shocked in the field. We have
seen various methods of shocking corn in
the field. Some put dozen large bundles
into shock; such large stacks do not dry
well. Others cut and stand it round hill
purpOsely left uncut. We have seen corn
very safely stacked by only using five
bundles to the shock-one in the centre,
and one on each four sides band of rye
straw was tightly tied around the whole
some four feet from the ground, and the
tops of the stalks bent over and tied down.
Such shocks stand better than larger ones,
and also dry much better.
Corn, when harvested before pr0perIv
ripened, and dried in the field, as much of
it probably will be the coming harvest, is
sometimes injured when stored in large
Quantities in the crib or the Slated corn
house. If dry, windy weather follows after
the corn has been cribbed or housed, it
generally dries well, but if long continued
damp or rainy weather succeeds, the corn
is very liable to heat and mould, &C., iniur-
ing its mealing qualities. To guard against
such loss, we have known farmers to have
tight box stove in the corn houses, and
then kept up brisk fire portion of the
time during the damp weather, thereby
drying their corn very fast, and saving 1t
from injury.
Tho labor of manuring, pIoughing, plant
ing and hocing an acre of corn is no triflIng
job in many situations of the country, and
it should be the aim of the farmer to make
the most of his labor, and not cheat himself
out of portion of his work by suffering his
corn or corn fodder to be injured or wasted
through negligence or lack of care on his
part.

The following extract will awaken with

it has, however, caused us to reflect on the
various viscissitudes in life, how many now
basking in the smile of fortune and antici
patlng bright and happy future, may ere
long be as suddenly crushed by some unex-
pected misfortune; how many, too, there
are who, discontinued with their lot, fling
from them in thoughtless mood that which
in few months they will bitterly lament.
AT this time we know a lady who, but
few short weeks since was enjoying domes-
tic felicity, but who is now allowing her
proud imperious will to blight all prospect
of happiness, entailing on hersalf, husband
and children melancholy future.

During the troubles in the reign of

in search of place as a servant maid, but
not succeedig she hired herself to carry
out beer from warehouse, and was one of
those called tu5-women. The brewer OBJ
serving a good-looking girl in this low
occupation, took her into his family as IA
servant, and after a short time married her.
