Try Some Sweet Corn.

This, says the American Agricuzturast,
may seem uncalled-for advice to many,
yet experience has shown Us that large
number of farmers depend upon ''roast-
ing ears from the field, for their supply
of green corn. All corn in the milky
state contains more or less sugar, which
turns to starch as the corn ripens. The
varities known as sweet corn have an
unusual amount of sugar, so much that
it is never all converted into starch, and
the grains present shrivelled appear
ance unlike that Of any other corn. 1t
is nutritious and an excellent article of
food in it's season, and when dried, forms
one of the Injuries of the table in winter
Sweet corn has run into number Of va
rieties distinguished by their time Of ma
turity, size otears and comparative sweet
ness. The earliest variety is the Extra
Early Sugar, which has stalks only about
three feet high, and short but very sweet
ears. Darling's Early is next in time,
and has large ears Of fair quality. Stow
ellis Evergreen is late and very sweet
sort; it is prolific, and has large kernels.
1t is excellent both for immediate use
and for drying Perhaps for two garden
sorts Darling's Early and Stowell, will
give the best satisfaction. The "suck-
ers' which are abundant in some sorts
ought not to be removed, as these secure
more perfect fertilization, and conse-
quently well filled out ears. Well man.
ured ground and frequent hoeing will
hasten the maturity of the crop.

The Hundred Day Men.

There is an effort making, with some
show of success, to raise Company in this
county. Some % or 30 men have already
enlisted. Let the Company be filled up at
once, for the time is short, ending on tho
18th inst
Let no one underrate the Importance of
the hundred day volunteers. They will re-
lieve veterans now on guard duty. Every
man of them adds one to the fighting men
of our armies. A reinforcement of 100, 900
men now in the field will give crushing
momentum to the weight Of our advancing
columns The news from the front is of the
most encouraging character. Now is the
Republic. Every ounce of force that can
be added now TO our armies Will tell most
effectively. A thousand men now may be
Of more service than ten thousand men six
months hence Every consideration of pat
riotism, economy, and wise forethought de-
mands that the people should put forth ex-
traordinary exertions in this crisis snd
strengthen the hands of the government to
strike the rebellion "a blow that shall de-
termine and not need repeat"
Let there be general turn out here in
Dodgeville on Friday afternoon to count
"noses," and whatever number may be lack
ing made up on the spot. Charley Cox will
be on hand.

Sorghum.

The american Agricult,wist strongly rec
ommends the growing of this crop, and says
its Importance is being appreciated. The
Great West is fast coming to provide its
own sweets, and between honey, maple
sugar and sorghum syrup the demands up
on the eastern markets are very greatly re-
duced. The quantity produced has been
vastly over estimated, but still it is very
great. Combinations of neighboring far
mers ought to buy one of the largest and
best evaporators, and setting it up in a con-
veniently central place, have it ready to
convert their cane.juice into syrup well and
rapidly in autumn3

A STErcH IN TINE SAVES NINE."-In
buying Sewing Machine for Family use
IL is often the practice of purchasers to de-
ceiVe themselves with the idea that in a
family they need machine for light work
only new a good machine will last for
years, and there are very many occasions
each twelve month, when a machine doing
coarse, heavy work, is exceedingly desirable
IN househcld-if the machine capable
of light work only, has been bought, and
the heavy work is put upon it, the machine
gives out, trouble follows trouble, and the
sewing machine gets into disrepute in the
house and neighborhood. Where is the
fault but in the fact that strong and dura-
bic enough machine was not bought? The
price in Its purchase had more than its
proper infuence7-the durability of the ma
chine was too little thought of. And then
should occasion or convenience REQUIRE the
sale of the machine, the one for general
work viii command the readiest sale. The
Weed Scweing Machines are adapted to all
kinds of work, and are really the best in
market. They make the stitch alike on
both sidcs.-N, T. Tines.
