MATURING IN THE NIL FOR COR

FROM tut country ftN''lii
MATURING IN THE HILL FOR CORN.
The question Of applying the usual do
nestle or barn manures to corn. in the hill al
planting. or over the whole service before
that time, is one which we have not seen par-
ticularly discussed in our agricultural Jour
nails though often mentioned as practiccd, OF
ricf rersa, in accounts of the culture of this
grain. From observation on this point. we
conclude it more common in New Hampshire
than elsewhere. where indeed 10 was learned
from the original corn-growors. We have
heretofore. from results in our own expert
cnce. recommended manuring in the hill in
addition to a good dressing over the whole
field, as productive of an essential improve
ment in the crop-giving an earlier and stron-
ger start, which advance it keeps through the
whole period Of growth.
Some experiments in corn growing, com
pairing hill manuring with It's application over
the whole service. arc given by Mr.. Baker OF
Oak Hill, in a recent ~ H. Farmer; and
thinking it will interest, we condense the
same for our readers. Five plots of an acre
each were planted the first Of May On the
first twenty loads of long manure were
spread and plowod under eight inches deep.

NO more immortality than a College Professor ,

of well sixteen feet deep--with no soul in

hoarse, he bethought himself of a piece OF

which he applied to the walls, to solve his
situation. The statement of the question
was--lct equal how shall get out y equal

THIS QUEER WORLD, Tile following elo-
[quent passage closes the Baccalaureate Adj
dres Of Hon: A. B. Longstreet, President
Of the South Carolina College, at Columbia
to the Graduating Glass: ~ +
You are embarking Upon strange world
my friends. 1t banished Aristides, poison
ed Socrates, murdered Cicero. and crucifed
the Lord Of Glory The spirit Of Themis-
tocles; Of Melitus, of Anthony and Caliphas
is still In the world greatly subdued and
law bound, to be sure; but not extinguished.
You may expect, therefore; at times to be
depressed by your rivals; condemned for
patriotism, and tormented for your benefac-
tions to have your confidence abused, your
integrity derided, and to suffer thousand
impositions in smaller matters from those
from whom YOU had right to expect better
things. These are hard things to bear, you
say, They are So, my young friends; and
you never will bear them Us you should,
unless you take the Good Book for your
guide; and look daily to its Author for sup
plies Of strength sufficient for your trial ~
Do this, aud all will be we'll at last. With
that Chart in your hand, now. launch your
bark upon the troubled ocean Of life; and
when the squalls strike you, be at least pru-
dent as common sailor, and be found hard
at the helm, With your chart before you and
your eye fixed on Bcthlehem's star. vs. Il.

MEN or ENnRat. Ali who have ste
ceeded in life have been men of high. re-
solve and endurance. The far famed VIM.
Pitt was in early life fond of gaming; the
passion increased with his years he knew
he must at once master the passion, or the
passion would master him. He made a
firm resolve that he would never again play
a game of hazard He could make such a
resolution he could keep it. His subse-
quent eminence was the fruit Of that power.
William Wilbgrforce, in his earlier days,
like most young men Of his rank and age,
liked the excitement Of games Of hazard. -
He was persuaded one night to keep the ia
70 bank. He saw the ruin of the vice, Of
gaming as he never saw it before he was
appalled, at what he beheld. Sitting amid
gaming, ruin and despair, he took the rese-
luton that he would never again enter a
gaming house. He changed his company
with the change Of his conduct, and subse-
quently became one Of the most distinguish
ed Englishmen Of his age. ID AZ tf....r r.
Dr. Samuel johnson was once requested
to drink wine with friend. The doctor
proposed tea. 'sBut drink little wine,'
said the host. II cannot was the reply
! II know abstinence, I know excess, but
know no medium. Long since ! resolved
as I could not drink little wine, 1 coulo
not drink at all" n man who could thus
support his resolution by action was mar
of endurance; and That element is as vel
displayed in this incident as is the combina.
tons of his great works.

VETERINARIANS. The nobility Of old
Spain, at the present day, offers vivid
and startling illustration Of the enormous
evils Of the essentially aristocratic system
Of intermarriage. The desires of the par
ties themselves are the last thing thought
Of, in the arrangement of a match in high
I life in that country, the bond matrimonial
being regarded as thing Of policy alto
gether. To this end the same set of fami-
lies have, for years and years, intermarried
exclusively, to keep their estates and titles
froth becoming scattered and their de-
scendants are reaping the harvest thus
soWn.
The families spoken Of are all nearly fe=
lated, Of course, and some very curious ar
tifcial relationships have occurred through
their marriages, one grandee being his
cousins father, land another, for all we know
being his own uncle: AS matter Of course
they are immensely wealthy and immensely
aristocratic- having their escutcheons pref

mentally and physically, they are sad set
Idiocy and insanity are their. common he

efete, used up race, it would be dificnlt to

Fortunately, brains and bodies are Fit

are much more valuable in country where

suppose that these cheerful family parties
are compensated for their loss ofeverything
else by their gains in the feudal direction.

Reader, did you ever see shoaat while
roofing kick UP every time he bores his
nose into the ground as if trying To stand
upon his head If SO don't buy him; he
will not prove profitable feeder. We
might call this subsol variety. Did you
ever see hog that would grab ansearsof
corn and run quarter of mile before he
would stop to eat? If so, beware.a.s...s---s
We will place such in the same category
and for the sake Of distinction we will call
them Elm Peelers. Did you see d tall, slab
sided, long legged. razor-backed breed that
were always hungry, and, when opportuni-
ty required, would climb up to where the
rails in the fence were some distance apart,
and then either slip through a crack or throw
off few rails and jump over? If SO, don't
purchase unless you are small farmer and
can't possibly build corn cribs. We might
perhaps call these free.soilefs, else barn
burners. Did you ever see q slim, dead
alive kind of thing, that would get SO poor
as to be obliged to trot before and canter
behind when required to getup motion, and
still not die it's eyes both coming out at the
same hole, or at least so near it that the hog
appeared cross-eyed? Ifso, let us pass the
dismal picture and simply call them old-li-
ners. All these breeds may be described
as follows: Long ears, large heavy heads,
long and thick legs, a streak Of lean under
meath thick gfizzle, and that covered with
a thick tough hide, with abundance of brist-
les, and in fine a great amount of otfal OF
every description.
Such animals have no thtiftiness, no ca
pacity to fatten end very little about them
that is digestible after they. are killed. =
Pick for hog with a small, clean head !,
rather small bone, body low to the ground,
long and square hams full and round dis
position quiet aud pleasant. Such hog
will always insure a good return. If you
can come across such hogs; whether called
Berkshire; Woburn; Suffolk, Grazler, or
what not, get some and try them. They
will not disappoint you. A word to the
wise is sufficient. & -lt es ,p2Ss-s'4A

Care Of Horses.

Some people never or very seldom clean
their horses, and they pay for it ct dear
rate. Some men will keep team all winter
and drive them about one quarter Of the time
but never clean them unless to get off the
thickest of the dirt. They never rub down
the legs of their horses, as they ought, to
keep them from swelling by standing in the
stable. Folks talk about their horses being
stiff and foundered J if they would feed them
more. and drive them slower; and clean thetn
neatly, they would not complain of stiffness.
Let man use curry comb cart and BRUSH
cs, as he ought to, and he will not envy
other peoples slick horses Some persons
never comb out a horses name or tail Z;
they complain that 1t pulls out the hair; hut
keep them combed out all the while, and
you wont lose much hair this will make it
grow out thieE. rslsh sfa. elt at s'N
L don't prstehd to say that this; without
feed, will do much towards keeping horse
decent. There has been and is great deal
Of cut feed fed to horses, and is very good
feed if used right, but horse will not keep
fat on a bushel of straw and four quarts Of
shorts day, with, a little hay. The way
we feed our horses, Isl ,bushel Of cat straw
with peck Of shorts and corn meal twice o
day; and when we work them, we. feed
them grain at noon, besides hay: This,
with good cleaning daily makes them look
like mahogany pigs. "Don't never expect
