Flat-Footed Courtship.

One long summer afternoon there came
to MIR. Jones' the most curious specimen
OF an old bachelor the world ever heard
Of. He was old, grey, wrinkled and ugly
He hated women, especially old maids,
and he WAS not afraid to say so. He
and Aunt Patty had it hot and heavy,
whenever chance threw them together {;
yet still he came, and it was noticed that
Aunt Patty took unusual pains with her
dre's whenever lie was expected. One
day the contest waged unusually strong.
Aunt Patty left him in disgust aud went
out into the garden.
"The bear" she mutiered 10 herself, rs
she stopped to gather blossom which
attracted her attention.
"Whs, did you run away for :" said a
grnf voice close to her side.

"You didn't do it, did you"
No; you are worse than Burdock

"And that?"

in four or five days. and most probably
escape the iucrus,ation Of the surface by
rain falling soon after the planting has

ted in drills, with an average distance Of
three and half feet between The rows,
and six inches between the stalks in the
rows, will produce about 25 900 stalks.
The same quantity Of land in hills, the
spaces between the rows being three and
a half feet, and the hills being two feet
apart, with an average OF five stalks to
the hill, will produce 10000 stalks.
But in the former case, the stalks grow.
ing singly are usually larger than they
are in the latter case, where they grow
in clusters. The large stalks contain a
greater per cent. Of saccarine matter than
the small ones, and thus compensate
probably more than compensate for infe.
riority in namber. Hence the conclusion
81 many farmers that crop in drills is
more productive of molasses than the
same quantity Of land planted in hills.
PREcAUrIoN.-Be careful to procure
pure seed and to keep it pure. If this
crop has but few stalks Of Lroom. corn
growing with it. or If it is planted near
broom corn, the bloom Of the two plants
mirges and kind Of hybrid or mongrel
plant is produced. When the purity OF
the crop has been thus impaired, the
quantity Of molasses 10 diminished. The
different varieties Of sorghum will thus
become mixed in the same way. To pre-
ven! this, they must be planted so far
apart that the pollen from the broom Of
one kind will not be blown upon the
heads Of The other kind.-Ler. Gazstte.
