Harvesting Corn---Hints for the Season.

From present appearances and the best IN
formation within our reach, we think it may
be pretty safely predicted that over a wide
range of our country this is not destined to be
great corn year. A large part of the grow
| ing corn is too late to fully mature, unless we
have an unusually warm September and Octo-
ber circumstance hardly to be expected
Therefore it will probable be the safer course
for most farmers to cut up and shock their
| corn as soon as it will any way answer-that
IS, if it can be done before receiving much in
jury from frost; by so doing they NAV save
much in the value of fodder, and much corn
would ripen in the shock that would be nearly
ruined by frost
We have several times seen corn cut up,
aud tied in moderately sized bundles and slung
across poles over the barn floor, where it has
dried perfectly and the fodder was much bet
ter 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 we'll Others cut and stand
it round a hill purPosely left uncut. We have
seen cGrn very safely stocked by only using
FIVE bundles to the stook-one in the centre,
and one on each Of the 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
stocks stand better than larger ones, and also
dry much better
Corn, when harvested before it is properly
ripened, and dried in the field. as much Of il
probably will be the coming harvest. is some
times 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 sue
ceedS, the corn is very liable to heat and mould
DC, injuring its mealing qualities. To guard
against such a loss, We have known farmers to
have tight box stove in their corn houses,
and they kept up brisk fire portion Of the
time during the damp weather, thereby dry
ing their corn very fast, aud Saving it from in
jury.
The labor of manuring, ploughin-, planting
and hoeing an acre of corn is no trilng job II,
many situations of the countrv, and it should
be the aim of the farmer to make the most of
this labor, and not cheat himself out Of por-
ton of his work by suffering his corn or corn
fodder to be injured or wasted though negli-
gence or lack of care on his part Country

Walker, have employed an army, zone
purpose Of which is to force the people Of
Kansas to obey laws not their own, nor of
the United States, but laws, which, it Is
notorious and established upon evidence,
they never made, and rulers they never

going. you represent that | am "openly
held up and proclaimed, to the derogatlon
of our national character, as violating IN
its most essential particular the solemn oath
which the President has taken to support
the constitution of this Union" These
are heavy charges proceeding from gentle

THE MEMORIAL.
To His Ercehency James buchanan, Pres
ident of the United States:
The undersigned, citizens of the United
States and electors of the State of Connec-
ticu:, respectfully offer to your Excellency
this their memorial:
The fundamental principle of the con-
stitution of the United States, and of ou,
political institutions, is, that the people
shall make their own laws, and elect their
own rulers.
We see with grief. if not with astonish-
ment, that Governor Walker, of Kansas,
openly represents and proclaims that the
President of the United States is employ
ing Trough him an army, one purpose OF
which Is to force the people of Kansas to
obey laws not their own, nor of the Uni
ted States, but laws which, it is notorious
and established upon evidence, that they
never made, and rulers they never elect
ed
We represent, therefore, that by the fore
going your Excellency is openly held up
and proclaimed, to The great derogation of
our national character, as violating III is
most essential particular the solemn oath
which the President has taken to support
the constitution Of this Union We call
attention, further. TO the fact that your EX-
ceIlency is in like manner held up to this
na,ion, to all mankind, and to all posterity
in the attitude of ''levying war against Il
portion Of the United States by employ
ing arms in Kansas TO uphold a body of
men. and 2 code Of enactments purporting
To- be legislative, but which never had the
election, nor sanction, nor consent Of the
people of the Territory. We earnestly rep
resent 10 your Exeellency, that we, also,
have taken the oath to obey the constitution
and your Excellency may te assured that
We .hali not refrain from the prayer that
Almighty God will make your adminstra-
ton an example of justice and beniicence,
and with his terrible majesty project our
people and our constitution.
