Testing Seed Corn.

There is so much damaged corn this year
that much care will he requisite in selecting
such as is suitable for seed. | have seen IN
vour paper and elsewhere, several modes sng-
gcsted for testing its terminating qualities, but
they are efficient. impractcahls. or attend d
with too much trouble to he generally useful.
The following mode will be found simple,
practical aud certain, and can be applied to any
extent desired Put the SheIled corn in YES
sci or vessels of such dimensions as are requiF-
ed for the quantity to be tested. Pour water
over il OF about the temperature OF milk from
the cow, until it is fairly covered, adding to the
water from time to time, il the absorption and
swelling of the corn should raise it above the
surface. Set it in moderately warm place,
and let it remain there twCnty-four hours
Then pour the water of, cover the corn with
some thick cloth which must be kept wet, and
let it stand in mass, still in q warm place, un-
til it sprouts-rhis will take place in from
thirty six TO forty y-eight hours, usually, if the
coru is good.
prepare all my corn for planting in this
manner, though | know the seed to be good.
plant sometimes with the sprout half an inch
long The result is that it brings the plant
forward week or more earlier than planting
dry This advantage in the fall is sometimes
very important The damaged corn from
my field last year did not exceed FIVE per cent.

SETTING Orr New ORCHARDS There IS no
greater truth than this-it is the interest of
every one who has farm or plantation with
out an orchard, to plant one--it adds to the
comforts Of home, enhances the value Of the
place, and if properly managed after being
planted, may result in being a great source Of
profit.
The ground intended for an orchard, should
neither be subjected to being flooded in times
OF heavy rains, nor naturally wet in times Of
drought. If not naturally dry it should be an
der-drained. 1t should be piowed deeply by
drench-plowing, to at least 20 inches in depth,
besides which it should I've literally manurcd
with nutritiye manurcs, ashes, and bone dust,
and top-dressed with lime as potash, phos-
phate of lime, aud lime greatly abound in both
the apple tree and its fruit These may nntli-
rally exist in the SOIL bnt if they DO not they
should be srtfcisly applied.
The following are lad down as the essential
requisite for successfully transplanting orchard
trees
" \ previous preparation of rich deep bed
of mellow earth to receive the roots, and land
that cannot be water soaked
Removing the tree with as little muta-
ton Of the roots as practicable.
" Pairing Of the bruised parts
Shortening in the head, in q greater or
less degree, to correspond with the necessary
loss Of roots.
Immersing the roots in the nsud
Settling the earth with water
Planting no deeper than before, that is as
they stood in the nursery.
Stalking or embanking to prevent injuryby
the wind.
Watering the stems and branches only, be
fare the appearance Of the leaf
Mulching, where danger Of mid summer
drought is feared"

RzAsexs WHY FARMRRs ARE HEALTHIER rHAN

RRAsoNs WHY FARMERS ARE Healthier THAN
PROFESSIONAL MEH.-TheSe reasons are:
l. They work more, and develop all the lead
ing muscles Of the body
2 They take their exercise in open mir, and
thus breathe a greater amount Of oxygen.
8 Their food and drinks are commonly less
SduIterated, and far more simple.
f. They do not ovcrwork their brain as
much as professional men do.
5 They take their sleep, commonly, during
the hours of darkness, and do not try to turn
day into night.
6. They are not commonly, so ambitions
and do not wear themselves ont so rapidly in
the fierce contest Of rivalry.
6, Their pleasures are not simple and less
exhausting.

SELECTING SRRD Com Farmers will rcmen-
Der that for two or three years past "a great
deal of corn came mp badly. Lat spring, Cs-
peciay much Of it " rotted' in the ground
The loss from this cause is hundreds of thon-
sands the last season. On our own ground
with some fourteen acres the loss was next to
nothing The same is true Of some others We
could name. What is the reason Of the diiIrr-
ence? Why does the seed in one field grow,
and in another rot That is just what We
wish to get at.
One great cause OF the rotting Of seed is
that it was never well ripcncd Another rea-
son is that it is badly dried. Poorly ripcncd
and badly dried seed is very easily injured 10y
fermentation, and very little fermentation
and moulding will destroy vitality. Last au-
tumn we had the best, largest and ripcst ears
carefully selected, and braided together by the
husks in tresses and hing in n dry place.
This was planted, and notwithstanding the
drenching rain and mud, all came up-not
missing hill or salk-and the field is noted as
one of the best in the country. The same has
been the experience of some others. Those
who made no selection and took no care Of
their seed, have had every bad luck" An
other field was planted with King Phillip corn,
not trussed but as this ripcns so early and
perfectly, this operation appears not necessary.
II came up as evenly as the other.
Let farmers select their best aud ripest ears,
and either truss and hang them mp, or place
them, in the ear, where they will dry tho
roughly, (uness it be some very Iyquickly-
ripening sorts and there will be better sue
cess and better luck with the coru crop

L Want Specie.

That will be the answer made by every
County treasurer in Ohio, next fall, and if
some of the "hard" Democrats do not
swear it will be because profanity has ceased
10 be characteristic of Locofoco. There
was one Demoernt in the Legislature, how
evr, who washes his hands of the matter.
Mr.. James Moore from Morgan county,
writes TO the McConnelsyiile Enquirer to
correct an error made by Mr.. Leete in m
address. MIR. Moore says
Mr.. Leete is mistaken when he states
that every Democrat in the House of Rep
resentatives voted for the Independent
Treasury bill. I for one did not vote for
the bill, nor would the majority in the
House permit me to give my reasons why
| could not support the bill. The previous
question was called and sustained and the
bill put through under the gag.
l adnit that the people of the State Of
Ohio expected the Legislature to pass an
Independent Treasury bill, but not just
such q one as they did pass. My oIjec-
fions to the bill will be found in the -isth
and 14th sections which, in my Judgment
are calculated to bring about the collection
of all taxes, in gold and silver, which all
candid and intelligent minds must admit
will be extremely oppressive upon the peo-
pie and exceedingly disastrous to the DEM
ocratic party in Ohio.

ter in VIM. Glenn d Sons storehouse.

tion of ice. He was subsequently removed
to his home.

CairO--Dry Land Appearing.

A Cairo correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette writing July 1st, says:
Cairo is beginning to "dry up" and will
be out of water in few DAYS. 1t was moi
falling half as fast inside yesterday as ii
was outside, but men are egaged in deep
ening the crevasses, in order to let the wa
ter out. 1t is three feet above the level of
the river, inside of town, and the water out
side of town, and the water outside is now
seven feet above the mouths of the sewers.
The damage has been greater than was at
first supposed by the people of Cairo, and
the houses will need a great deal of repair
ing. The mud is about an inch deep
on all the floors, and is of very Shiny
character and disgusting smell. 1t seems
as if it ought to be very sickly here, and
there is indeed considerable sickness in
town. The weather is still very hot, and
the sky was perfectly clear last night. If
a boy of ten years old should attempt to
count the mosquitoes now in Cairo, he
would reach three-score- and-t before he
had enumerated a quarter of them. The
high water has left a very visible mark on
all the houses, and the appearance of things
generally is anything but ornamental. The
water in town is almost too low to admit of
the use of skiffs, and entirely too high for
wading; consequently those who live in
town are nearly isolated.
The track of the Illinois Central Railroad
is being repaired rs rapidly as possible, but
it will be month before The trains will be
able to run into Cairo. The grade is bro
ken and washed away in several places,
frcm 100 to 800 feet in length, and new
trestle work will have to be put in.

Shocking Murder i'm Virginia.

John w. Watkins, Esq, formerly to
bacco merchant in Petersburg, but for many
years past successful farmer on his beau
tiful estate in Surry, Va, known as "Chesi-
nut Farm" situated Immediately on James
River, was brutally murdered on the 18th
inst. The Petersburg Express says:
About six o'clock on the above evening,
MIR. Watkins set out on walk around the
farm. Remaining away unusually long,
servants were sent out to look for him but
returned without having seen him; uron
which apprehensions were entertained by
his family that he had encountered some
accident, and more particular search was
instituted. The farm and vicinity were
secured in every direction, and several hours
employed In useless labor; but at length,
about ten o'clock, the body of the unfortu-
nate man was found in low ravine, some
distance from the house, dreadfully beaten
and disfigurcd and covered with blood and
dirt. His hat and cravat were missing
his coat and trowsers jagged and muddied,
and around his waist rope was found tied
by which he had been dragged into the ra-
vine. No one is suspected of the murder,
rs the deceased was on friendly terms with
every one in the country. He leaves n wife
and six children.
