seed Gorn.

Are the bait, middle, or tip kernels best fol-
plsntingi Seeing some experiments stated in
The Valley Farmer, the results Of which tended
strongly in favor Of planting the kernels from
the large or butt end ofthe ear and noticing that
the editor Of that Journal seemed to think that
II the butt kernels do really produce the strong
est growth and the earliest maturity a. the ex-
psrinentsr asserted, 1t must be owing to their
greater size; that as the old seed Is the princi-
pal feeder of tSs the young plant in its early
stage, It wsuld be bat reasonable to conclude
the largest kernels would produce the strongest
growth at first, and that this would naturally
lead TO early maturity, we were lead to inquire
whether it Ia really so, that the kernels at the
butt are larger than those in the middle
Thinking that farmers know more than others
about such matters, we asked several their
opinion. One thought the middle kernels were
largest and best formed; another thought there
oould be little difference between the butt and
the middle; third said he did not knew, bad
not observed, and could give no opinion about it,
We appealed to the scales, weighing accurately
With the scales Of an apothecary near by, twelve
kernels from the butt of Wsll-formed ear, As
many from the middle, and a. many from the
Sip. endeavOring to select average kernels from
each place. The result was that twelve kernels
from the butt weighed six grains more than
twsVs from the middle; and twelve from the
middle weighed twelve grains more than twelve
from the tip; making a difference between
the butt and the tip Of 10 grains. We tried
the experiment with second ear, and found
the difference nearly the same, but fraction
greater. The butt kernels, then, are larger and
mere solid, and weigh more than from any other
part Of the ear; and a. it is an admitted fact,
that the seed in all sases furnishes the fist food
for the young plant, 1t seems but reasonable that
the largest seed should produce the largest
plant; and If the plant from large seed gets
the best start, it is certainly not unnatural to sup
pose it may mature its fruit earlier. As at
present advised, il we had twice as mush seed
corn as we wanted, we would plant the butt half
Of the ears, or IL we had three times as much as
We wished to plant, We would use the butts to
ons-third Of the ear; and in the meantime we
would plant some middle and some tip kernels
BY themselves, and keep lookout which produ-
ceS the earliest and largest crop. In expensive
experiments and careful observation of results
are what the farmer wants in order to advance
his art. Let him have an eye open to the results
Of his own doihgs, and an ear open 10 the re-
ports of his fellow laborers, and he will be ever
learning, and will find that there is right way
aud rrOng way to do everything, and that the
profits are increased when he finds and pursues
the right wsy.-Indiana Farmer.

One of our citizens, who has taken some pride
for several years in cultiVating fall crop Of
hair on his face, was called away from home On
business, some time sinse. While absent, an
inexperienced barber spoiled his whiskers in
trimming them, which so chAgrined him, that
he directed the barber to make . clean job Of
it, BY shaving WhiSkers and nsustache both of.
The barber obsyed, and our friends face was Is
smooth and delicate as when in his teens. He
returned home in the night. Next morning his
little girl did not recognize him, on waking up.
Looking over her mother, and seeing, a. she
supposed, stranger in bed, she remarked, in
her childish simplicity: "Mistsr, get out Of here;
I'll tell ny pa on you, when he comes hsme!"

asefilI aliS Curious.
ANew Receipt for sIeepiness,


Our friend the Thakoor. also visited us, and
he excused the non-sppearanee Of his little son
on the ground that he was asleep under his va
terfalI. had almost omitted to mention the
curious habit of the hill people 70 which this
phrase Of the Thakoor's relates. Whenever q
woman wishes to put her child to sleep she takes
IL to one of the numerous places for this par
pose, which are all over the mOuntain-sidss,
wherever there IL water. They consist Of q
shed, or sheds, in which there are stone troughs
filed from the running stream; and from tAsss
troughs are little pipes made Of reeds, or hol-
low stems Of trees, which spouts out water with
q gentle sriekling fall, under which the ehild's
head IL placed at the distance Of few inches
The effect Is almost immediate. The child
closes lie eyes and it, mouth and falls into 9
profound, sweet an d healthfal sleep, which en-
dures 90 long as tis leff under the watsrspcuts-
I have seen dozens of children thus lying fast
asleep; and a. far a. I could ascertain, ne evil
effect whatever can be attributed to the
practice. It certainly seems an admirable
preparation against colds in the head; and II .

Chinch Bag. on Wheat and Corn.

w
EDIroRs PRAHK FARMEE:-Thsse little pests
almost destroyed the entire crop in this locality
o last season. noticed that when stalk Of corn
came up among the grain-and this il often the
case when it is sown on corn land-imnsdiaie-
ly about the stalk the grain matured perfectly
AID was not injured by the bugs.
Ny theory is this: When grain commences
to ripsn, the sap leaves the bottom Of the stem
and ascendI up. The bugs do not like to follow
it, for when they get up too high on the stem
it bsesmss too hot for them. They therefor,
leave the wheat and attack the corn, leaving
sufficient supply of sap in the wheat stalk t.
mature the grain perfectly. have alse motto
cd, that when wheat was SoWn alongside field
Of corn, there was a strip not injured in the
least.
Now, for g remedy for the ehinch bug in
wheat: Prepare the ground in the fall, and SOW
in the spring a. soon as the ground will permit
About the first Of June take small bell-tongued
sloW and run burrows through the wheat 10 OF
Is feet apart. Drill in corn. When the wheat
begins to ripsn the bugs will leave it and 20 on
the ysung corn, where they can get . better
supply Of food.
To keep them from corn, when planted along
side Of wheat, prepare and SOW thick with corn
Q small piece of land between the wheat and
planted Oorn-of sufficient size that il will sup
ply the whole army with comfortable living,
after they leave the ripening wheat, which they
will do, if there is corn for them to feed spon.
TAeH kiA tAem. They will all gather on this
strip Of corn. Haul straW-dry straw-throw
