Changing Seed

A correspondent inquiries whether it is
advantageous to change seed corn. Before
the question can be answered it is neees-
sary to know the object. What qualities
it is wished to obtain that the corn now
cultivated does not possess? We would
regard the same rule in regard to change
OF seed that Bakewell did in regare to eros
sing his animals. "Show me-" said he.
"better stock than my own, and | will
cross with it." So we would advise our
correspondent to change his seed corn
when he can find kind that is better for
his purpose than he now has. The idea
of changing seed for the sake Of changing
has no reason in it. But it is said varieties
degenerate when confined to the same soil.
No doubt they do, if the soil degenegates.
or il proper judgment is not used in selcc-
ting the seed. But we cannot see why a
variety Of corn that is best for particular
locality to-day, may not always be ust
as good if due attention is given 70 all the
conditions required to perfect 1T. We
have repeatedly known varieties OF corn
improved both as TO earlineSs and pro-
ductiveness, when grown on the same
farm for many years.-Boston Cahiratoy.

A visit to the OIL Springs Of
TruiDbU1I County.

A correspondent Of the Cleveland Her.
ald describes his pilgrimage to the oil
springs Of Mecca, as follows:
Driving ten miles n N. +. by balf n.
we arrived at Blowers Corners" in the
town of Mecca-a wide-awake settlement
consisting of a church, two dwelling
houses, and blacksmith shop--behind
the latter of which we found the much
talked of "ol we'll" The men were
buisly employed in boring, and were san
guine of "striking" big fountain of oil
shortly. They had already proceeded to
the depth of 81 feet, with, as they report,
the following result Twenty years ago
well was dug here for family use to the
depth of eleven feet, when stream Of oil
came pouring into the well Of nearly the
size of a mans wrist. The oil was sup
posed to be useless, and the hole was
plugged up, and the well afterwards used
occasionally, although the water was new
er considered palatable That plug" has
not yet been found But the Spectators
began at this depth--eleven feet--bored
ten feet through sand stone, and here
struck quite vein of oil. They next
bored twenty feet through slate, and two
feet of hard, blue clay, and again entered
the sand stone in which they have been
ever since. At the depth of about seven
ty feet they struck another vein Of oil,
nearly OF quite as plentiful as the first
but they claim that strong current ot
water forced this oil back into its crevices
As the hole is only three inches in diam
eter, we did no 90 down to see if this wa:
correct, but we took it for granted. We
did, however, let down a two gallon tin
bucket to the potion Of the well, and drew
it up filled with "alf and alf'-water anC
oil. We are told that this can be repeat.
ed about every three hours. The oil is
dark and dirty, looks like the thick scum
on boiled molasses at sugaring off time
and is filled with funguslike texture
resem bling cobwebs and thin paint skins
We filled two ounce vial with this cold,
dirty, frothy clotted oil, and placed it in
an inside vest pocket. In six hours the
blubbers had all disappeared, leaving one
third Of the vial empty and the remainder
was as follows The upper third a dark,
clear molasses- -colored oil, the second
third dirty compound of webby s-rings
and bits Of thin parchment-like Sk-As; and
the last and lower third, pure, clear wa
ter The oil smells and tastes just like
the Harlem or British oil, and we find
on experimenting, that it will burn bet
ter, far better, than any lamp oil in th'
market. The expense of boring at this
point averages about 81 90 per foot
The land on which this well stands, be
longs TO a Mr., Jeffreys, but Messrs. Bun
nell C Jordan have leased the oil priv
ileges, and are expecting to secure for
} tune shortly. There are some eight o.
ten more oil springs in Mecca, and {
number of very valuable ones have lately
been discovered seven miles south in tht
town of Rowland, and also in Liverpool
Medina county.

Glad get Home.

A correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Times lately alluded to number of ne
gro fugitives who were voluntarily return
ing to their masters. n second letter
from the steamer on which they were,
dated at Napoleon, Arkansas, made this
further mention of them
1.-The negroes returning into slavery,
mentioned in my last letter, disem barked
at this point. So desirous were they to
get on shore, that they could hardly be
restrained from jumping from the boat
before she had landed. Their eyes spar
kled, and they grinned from one ear to
the other at the prospect of once more
returning to their old homes. One OF the
women exclaimed
"'Bress God Use home now, and no
one'll eber catch dis child gwine way
again; Use gwine to stay home, is J and
she fairly danced in the exuberance OF
her feelings. On the wharf-boat they
were met by one whom took to be their
owner, who received them cordially, and
was evidently delighted to see them. He
examined them quite critically, and |
heard him say to one:
"'Why, Jane, you don't look SO hear,
ty as you did-you amt sick, are you 2
"'No, Massa, | amt sick as / knows
ON, but rs mighty tired and worried
and dis child wants to get home.
They were evidently well known ir
Napoleon, for many came up and shoob
hands with them while they remained Oh
the wharf boat. One of the passengers
informed Inc that yesterday he was stand
ing by one of the colored women, who
was busily ironing, All at once she
stopped, and throwing up her arms, ex
claimed:
"Oh golly, isn't l glad rs near home!

Historical Facts--The Division
OF Parties.

In 1916, at the Presidential election be-
tween the Democracy, who supported
Thoma, Jefferson, and the Fcderalists,
VINO voted for John Adams, the latter
got every electoral vote in New Eng gland.
Again, in 1900, at the Presidential cleo
tion-the same candidates in the field
the Feieralist Adams received the unani-
nous electoral vote of New England
The whole North voted for Adams on
both occasions, save part of Pennsylvania
ana New York. The South WAS nearly
OF quite unanimously for Jefferson.
In 1903 and 1872. when James Madi-
son was running for President on the
Democratic ticket, every New England
State voted against him, save Vermont.
All the Southern States voted for him
save Delaware.
In 1928 all New England went for
John Q. Adams, except one electoral
vote in Maine. General Andrew Jack
son was beaten in every Eastern State.
The South went almost unanimously fol
jackson.
The New England States are now
where they were in the days Of Jefferson
and Jaclsson-opposed to the Democratic
party. After all the mutations of politics
aid of time, the divisions of parties are
geographically, about as they were IN
1895 and 1907 Gin. Enqr,

ProGts of Sugar Cane Culture.

Josiah Savers, q farmer in Tazewell
county writes as follows to the Pekin
Register.
The producer of the cane need not cal
culate upon averaging over one hundred
and forty gallons Of syrup to the acre, in
stead oftwo hundred and fifty and upward.
e. frequently stated. If be does ne will
surely lie disappointed, either in quantity
or quality. | never made but a little a.
boye the rate of 160 gallons to the acre.
In regard to the profits OF this crop COM
pared with other field crops, l will state
as briefly as possible the cost of produc-
tion and then persons can draw their con-
illusions: To raise an acre Of cane, incln-
ding the rent and delivery at the mill.
ready for pressing, will cost Sl5; allow
then, the acre to make l40 gallons Of syrup
which at 30c per gallon, will amount to
S42. The cane can be taken by the man
ufacturer and worked up a. the halves
leach finding his own casks, with about
equal profit; the half Of S4I will be S23, 80;
after deductng the Sl5 for raising the
cane, leaves the producer s. so as his pro-
fits of this crop to the acre. Now this will
be materially affected by the yield and the
price of the article. The cost OF produc-
tion will remain about the same, but the
yield may be considerably increased, and
the price would most certainly be reduced,
should farmers go into its cultivation ex-
tensively. With me it is paying busin-
ess; 1T enables me to make an almost indis-
pepsible every day article in my family at
less cost than l can by raising and SLING
corn to procure means for purchasing it.

Setting o,,t Trees.

Autumn and Spring have each their
peculiar advantages for setting out fruit
trees. The advantages Of Autumn trans
planting are--the soil becomes we'll set
tied around the roots, and the trees are
prepared to make an early start in the
spring. The disadvantages are that trees
are always made more tender by removal
for the endurance of the first winter; and
the soil hardens on the top in crust, and
the trees will not then grow as well as
when the soil has been lately stirred on
setting ont, as in the spring. Hence ten
der trees in a severe climate should not be
transplanted in the fall. unless they can
be protected by shelter from the winds
or by screen OF evergreens. and unless
the ground is dry and we'll drained, nstu-
rally or artifioially, SO as to avoid the in
furious results Of freezing about the roots.
Hence, also, the numerous class Of culti-
vators who never cultivate their young
trees at all should always set out in the
spring for in doing SO the trees will be
more apt to have mellow soil about them
during the early part Of the season, than
if the soil had become hardened by set
tling all winter. Unless the locality ex-
pose them too much to the cold, wintry
winds, and to late fall rains, which cannot
drain off, we prefer setting SO hardy tree
as an apple in autumn intending Of course
to keep the soil mellow by cultivation the
following summer. For more depends
on good after culture than on any time
or mode Of setting out. Ten times as ma
ny trees die ofsubsequent neglect, as from
any want of care and skill in transplant
ing. AS the best crops to plant among
your trees we should prefer to leave the
earth entirely bare, and keep always mel
low, for distance from each tree as far
on each side as the hight of the tree; but
those who cannot be persuaded to do this
should plant only low, hoed crops, such
as potatoes, beets, turnips, de-, and avoid
everything that is sown, whether grain or
grass Country Gentleman.
