Mortality OF Cities.

The year 1868 was marked BY an, in
creased, and, in some respects, remarkable
mortality throughout the country, in the
rural districts as well as In the cities.
There appears to have been no general or
wide spread epidemic, but general in
crease of mortality from all causes. In
some sections of New England, and in
other States, there were severe epidemics
Of diptheria, scarlatina, typhoid fever, and
spotted fever, and during the present vim
ter there is existing general epidemic Of
influenza, commonly, but improperly at
tributed to "taking cold. =" This has
largely increased the mortality of aged
persons, and in some places has proved IA

Marvin Tyler thought corn planted too
early was liable to be stunted, and would
not produce so well as that planted late
enough to grow rapidly from the start.
G. A. Brown planted Flint corn in the
early part of April, 1866, and it ripened
early in August.
Alex. Pettis, of Le Sueur county, had
raised corn here for the past seven years.
He never raised less than fifty bushels per
acre, after throwing out the nubbins, and
he usually raised sixty bushels per acre.
He thought plowing close enough to break
the larger roots was best. He cultivated
with share plow, throwing the dirt from
the rows the first time, and afterwards
throwing the soil up to the corn as much
as possible. He planted as early as the
season would admit, and raised the COM
mon Dent corn 'AIa '5''1J s.lj w. 7jslr
Michael Magner planted one acre and q
half of large speckled Dent corn in 1862,
from which he raised 100 bushels, but it
did not ripen until two weeks after the
yellow Dent, although planted a few days
earlier. He did not think it safe crop.
The same year he planted the white Dent,
which ripened ten days earlier than either
of the other varieties.
The opinion of the club was in favor of
raising corn as profitable crop, and op-
posed to any other method of planting
than by hand. 1t was the unanimous
opinion that corn would pay at twenty
five cents per bushel, calculating the cost
Of raising per acre, as follows: rent Of
land, 81; blowing, $1.25; narrowing,
twenty-five cents; marking, twenty-five
cents; planting, seventy five cents; cu,ti-
waiting, 81; harvesting, s.; total cost,
$3.50. At thirty cents per bushel, there
would be fifty cents profit at forty cents,
$3.50; at fifty $3.50; &c. aro( "3- ejj
10 The opinion of the club at their previ-
Gus meeting was that wheat would pay at
fifty cents per bushel.

roon, and held q free and easy converse
tiOnal meeting of about three hours
James P. Smith in the Chair The subject
under discussion was Corn fai90L da9F
Jh Charles Snyder having been O: lied upon,
said he had raised corn in Minnesota for
the past six years, and had always raised a
good crop. He was inclined to attribute
what some called "good luck ITO good
cultivation. He had raised as high as
eighty bushels per acre, and had never
raised as low as forty bushels per acre, un
til last year, which was occasional by the
unprecedented drouth-except in 1857,
when severe hail-storm cut his crop al
most entirely off He plants as soon after
the first of May as the ground becomes
warm-would rather have bis corn killed
in the spring than in the fall. He soaked
his corn in boiling water twelve hours,
then poured the water of, and put in a
little tar to prevent the birds from eating
it-always made his corn-rows as straight
as possible, as it enabled him to cultivate
more easily and thoroughly. He always
used the cultivator, and sometimes goes
along the rows with hoe when the corn
lis small, to. un, over and e. ,hten up.
Oultiyates his corn four tin AU,r as often
az is necessary to keep the weeds down.
Never lost much corn by fall frosts. Raises
about twice as much corn per acre as Of
wheat. He plants the hills about four feet
apart, an inch deep, and prefers three
grains in q hill to four. He raised the
