portraits Of noted Americans. Madame's 3
round table has been the scene Of as many
glorious encounters Of wit as King Arthur's

them, you will SEQ stout, medium sized,

MoLAssEs FROM INDIAN Com. Mr..
George s. Kintzi, Of Exeter Township. Berks
County Pa, called at the office of the Rea-
ding Gazette, day or two ago, with two sam
pies of syrup or molasses, one made from the
common Indian Corn and the other made from
the Chinese Sugar Cane. Tie first was OF
the color and consistence of the best molass-
es, and had pleasant favor. Mr.. Kinti tried
but small experiment in making this syrup.
lie took eight corn stalks cut OFF at the root
and at the ear, crushed them in cider mill.
and pressed the juice out with his hands. A
quart of sap was thus obtained, which, after
boiling thirty minutes, yielded one pint OF
beautiful syrup. The Chinese Sugar Cane
was subjected to the same process, and yield
ed about the same quantity of syrup but not
SO thick, nor Of so fine flavor as that made
from the common Indian Corn

SELECTING SEED CORN-TIMELY
HINT

Farmers will remember that for two or three
years past, great deal Of corn came up badly.
Last spring, especially, much of it 'rotted'
in the ground The loss from this cause is
hundreds of thousands the present season.
On our own ground with some Ii acres in
corn the loss was next to nothing. The same
is true OF some others we could name What
is the reason of the difference; Why docs
the seed in one field grow and in another rot
That is Just what we wish to come at.
Ono great cause of the rotting of seed, is
that it was never ioH ripencd Another rea-
500 is that it is bully dricd Poorly ripenod
and badly dried seed is very easily injured by
fermentation, and very little fermentation
and moulding will destroy vitality. Last au-
tun. we had the best, largest and ripest ears
carefully selected, and braided together by the
husks in trusses, aud hung in dry place
This was planted, and Notwithstanding the
drenching rains and mud. all came up--not
a missing stalk, and the field is noted as one
of tho best in the country. The same has
the experience OF some others. Those who
made no selection and took no care of their
seed, have had ivory bad luck Another
field was planted with King Philip corn, not
trussod; but as this sort ripens so carly and
perfectly, this operation appears not nccces-
sary. II came up as evenly as the other.
Let farmers select their best and ripest cars.
and either truss and hang them up, or place
them in the ear, whore they will dry thor
oughly, (unless it be some very carly, quickly
rpenng sorts and there will be better sue
cess andbetler Tuck with the corn crop. Coua-
