The selection OF seed corn is one Of the

1t Is Important TO maintuin. The curing Of
corn takes place TO q great extent after
usking. and the presence Of q great, soft,
moist cob in each ear, gives tendency to
mould, which should be sedulously avoided.
The old experiment Of fitting a paper cone
to an ear of corn, then withdra wing the
ear, shelling it, and returning the kernels to
the cone, is interesting and instructive. IL
the kernels will all go ea.ily into the cone,
the cob Is too large. aud we should say, the
corn unfit for seed. The cone should be
made Of brown paper dampened. bound

easily judge by the eye which ears have

Management of Manure.

The succ-ss Of the farmer certainly de.
peDds very much upon management OF ma.
nure. The remark has often been made
that much OF the most valuable part Of
animal excrements is often lost, through
negligence or misma nagement. The prae-
tice OF exposing manure TO the action Of the
sup, wind and rain, has been severely CEN
sured, and the digging Of barn cellars, the
building OF sheds. coverings for barn.y ards,
De-, have been highly recommended.
NO good farmer would suffer any of his
crops to lie in the field till one half of their
value Is lost by exposure to weather; but
how is the case with barn-yard and the
manure heapsf Here is O treasure indeed
but it is wasting it's value continually 4; are
not its virtues every hour escaping into the
air2
But many farmers will confess that their
management 10 not such as it should be.
but, through lauk Of capital, cannot make
the changes which they desire, in a single
year or two. But we contend that a farm.
er of small means can do much to preserve
the virtues of his manure. He can house n
part OF it, at least, in some way and he
can put cover of muck or loan upon his
manu- Q heaps, and also in his barn yard,
and thereby prevent most of its virtues es
Gaping. IL he hauls manure into the field,
II it Is not Immediately plowed in, it should
be put in rather large heaps, and be well
covered with earth.
A difference in opinion has existed among
distinguished writers and farmers, in refer.
ence to the degree Of fermentation which
manure ought to undergo before applying
it to the soil. Some are advocates for long
or fermented manure, and Others think that
it should not be applied to soil till it is
partially or completely decoinposed. The
former contend that much fluid and gaseous
matter of the manure is Lost, unless It be
applied Immediately to the soil in its green
state and plowed in. The Inter contend
that long or green manure cannot be reg.
ularly spread, and that the animal matter
does not mix intimately with the straw, but
is in masses by itself They also complain
that the straw will sometimes dry rot, and
becomes dead, useless matter. 1t is prob.
able, however. that by proper care, manure
in it's green state, may be pretty evenly
spread, and the straw will not often dry
rot.
1t Is said that Stable manure, when living
in heaps is liable to be spoiled by being
overheated. To prevent this, it would be
well to either apply it to the soil and pIow
It under as soon as may be, or mix it with
charcoal and other substances.

Speech of Gov. Orr.

At the earnest solicitation Of many friends
his Excelleney Gov. James l.. Orr consented
to address the people of the District on last
Monday. in the Court House, upon the po.
litical condition Of the country.
After reviewing the various plans present
ed since the war, for the Reconstruction Of
the Government, he earnestly insisted upon
the acceptance, by the people Of South Ca.
rolina, OF the plan of reconstruction now
proposed. as the only means Of preventing
the administration of the affairs of this
country from passing into the hands exclu-
svely of the ignorant, and consequently the
barbarian and the tyrant, aud as the only
hope OF making this country even tolerable
lie showed, from the census of 1860, the
great preponderance of colored over white
voters in the State and our utter inability
to defeat q Convention, or to protect our
selves whenever we make an issue directly
with the colored people. According to the
census OF 1860. 1t appears that there are
sixty thousand colored voters in the State,
while there are only forty thousand white
voters, leaving majority Of twenty thou
sand eolored voters. 1t 10 true, perhaps,
that there are not as many colored men in
South Carolina now, as in 1860, but it is
almost sure that the proportionate decrease
has been much create with the white than
with the colored men in the State, since the
commen cement Of the late war. Gov. Orr
insisted upon the cultivation Of tho most
cordial and kind relations between the two
races in the South, and the formation of ne
alliance with the two great political parties
Of the nation. .....
The speech was altogether timely, con
siderate and forcible, and we feel SIRE that
our excellent Governor was actuated alone
by motives of love for his native land, in
thus earnestly invoking his fellow citizens
to grasp the only means Of preventing an-
archy and ruin TO our already down trod-
den and desola:ed land.

The most difficult par. he had 10

his displeasure by singing Mfr. Sim.
