distance between Cora HIS.

The Kentucky Farmers Home Jour-
nal figures up the number of hills of corn
upon an acre, when planted at different
distances, to be as follows:
The distance at which corn hills or
rows may be planted, depends on the
strength of the land, the variety of corn,
and the implements used in its culture.
The common practice is to plant in hills,
at distance from three to five feet, and
to cultivate with the plow in both ways.
On good land, free from stumps or other
distractions, it is thought that culture in
drills is preferable to that in hills, and
doubtless, in good clean land, on which
the horse corn planters can be used, and
the improved cultivators can be en-
ployed, much more corn can be raised to
the hand than by the old system.
Many farmers would be astonished
were they informed hcw much difference
in the number of stalks on the acre may
result from only slight difference in
the distance between the rows. Thus,
corn planted

In drills, the number of stalks that
can be raised on an acre of rich land is
enormous. and in the language of the
late Judge Buel, ,"explains the manner
IN which large crops of this grain have
been obtained." Taking his icalcula-
tions: 1fa ta vcu9 to5fdiss y -
%An acre in drills at three feet, plants
at SIX inches apart in drills, gives 5000
stalks, andsa yield of 113 bushels Id
quarts, counting only one ear to stalk,
and gill of shelled corn to an ear. 70
IAN acre, two rows in drill, six
inches apart, and the plants nine inches.
and three feet nine inches from centre of
drills, gives 30,97o stalks, and more
than 100 bushels -r--.,r = t.
Judge Buel states that he has tried
this latter mode. "The ground was
highly manured. the crop twice cleaned,
and the entire acre gathered and
weighed accurately the same day, The
product in ears was 1O3 bushels, each
81 pounds weight, and Ga pounds
over. The last bushel was shelled
and measured. which showed product on
the acre of l1s bushels 10 quarts..,,a He
tried, also, the other drill method de-
scribed, and gathered at the rate Of more
than 100 bushels to the acre; and stated
that the Messrs. Pratt, of Madison coun-
ty, N. Y, had raised the prodigious crop
OF ITO bushels of shelled corn to the
acre, by systsm of drills, three rows,
six inches apart in each drill, three feet
from centre to centre of drills.
only be raised on the very richest soil,
and with much and careful labor and
good management. But the question is,
will it not pay to make the soil rich, and
to cultivate it clean and well, and to use
the improved agricultural implements, to
increase our corn crop? Experience in
other parts shows that a course of this
kind is the true path to profitable farm
ing, when pushed by educated and intel
ligent farmers iaos9 HTs't5foeI

Thus, hills three by three feet apart are
more than twice as many on an acre as
hills five by four. af
By multiplying the above numbers
by the number of stalks in the hill, and
allowing the usual number of ears to
the bushel of corn, the relative yield is
easily calculated, if care be taken by
abundant planting and thinning to Sc
cure the regular calculated number of
stalks to the hill. ,t

THE CRoPs.-The prospects for good
corn and cotton crops in this parish are
very Gathering, indeed. There are-we
understand upon reliable estimate
about $4,000 acres of land planted in
corn, which Will, if realized, be more
than sufficient for home consumption,
and about 5000 acres planted i'm cot
ton, which will proudce, if we escape all
eaIamities, 10000 bales, at the lowest
calculation. Fruits and vegetables are
also reported in prospective abundance.
A good crop this year, with a bountiful
supply of edible luxuries of the season,
will place our poverty stricken people
in good circumstances-beyo immedi-
ate want, inspire renewed energy and
industry in every commercial pursuit
athome, and restore and command finan-
cial confidence abroad.

THE PATENT LEG.-The man with
the wonderful mechanical leg which,
would never stop walking, was a very
queer invention, but was hardly equal
to the person of whom there is Ger
man legend, who, having lost his legs
in the war, was furnished with two
India rubber ones. On putting them
on, he felt so happy that he sprang into
air; but when he came down he bounded
back higher than before; and so every
time he came down he rebounded into
the air with greater velocity, until, as
days and weeks and months passed on.
and he returned from his aerial trips at
longer intervals, he bounded above the
clouds and came down upon all parts Of
the earth. 1t is supposed he is still
bounding and >rebounding among the
orbs of the universe, carried now to one
and now to another planet by different
currents of gravitations and that he will
thus continue in unceasing melton
throughout all eternity.

A POWERFUL FERTILIzER.-Every
farmer has SCOT at his command, whose
presence in stove pipes and chimneys is
not unfrequently the cause of fires, oc.
casIoning sometimes the loss of both
property and life. This agent for evil
is one of the most valuable manures,
and nothing but the most culpable care
lessness and indifference will suffer it
to remain a menace of life and property,
when it can be easily removed and
turned to good account in the field or
garden. Twelve quarts of this SCOT in
a hogshead of water will make pow
erful liquid manure, which will improve
the growth of flowers, garden vegeta-
bles or root crops. In either liquid
or solid state, it makes an excellent
dressing for grass or cereal crops.

TRINITY CHURcH-A meeting of the

TRINITY CHURCH.-A meeting of the
members of the Trinity Church, at
Natchitoches, was held, at the Church,
in the afternoon of 31st May, 1868, for
the purpose of electing a Board of War
dens and Vestrymen to represent the
ChnIch for the current year, and other
officers. The following persons were
elected:
Wardens A. H. Pierson, Senior
Warden. j. r., Williams.
Vestrymen w. M. Levy, Henry
Stafford, Thos. Fl. Airey, George B. Egg
gleston. Hugh. b. Walmsley, Il. j.
Simpson. G. Chaplin, ST., w. III. Jack.
q. B. Eggleston was elected Secreta-
~, and Hugh. B. Walmsley, Treasurer.
Attention was called to the wanton
destruction of the stained glass of the
windows, it being found, on actual connf,
that the holes, made by throwing stones
through the glass, were from ten to over
twenty in each window on the side front
ing Trudean street, eight in the front
window and five in the rear windows
over the pulpit; evidently the result of a
persistent and wicked design to deface
the building, and the Wardens were re-
quested to prosecute any person found
to be concerned in this outrage. -

REMARKABLE DEVOTION of A DoG.-
In 1865 soldier of the Tooth New York
infantry died and was buried at New
Greek, Mineral county, West Virginia.
After the funeral, dog the poor fellow
had owned was missed, and the next bu-.
rial party found the faithful animal lying.
upon the grave of his master. No peace
full means could induce him to leave his
chosen post, excepting at intervals for
food; and he kept watch there for nearly
three years. Recently, the bodies buried
at New Creek were taken up and re-
moved to the National Cemetery, at Graf
ton, the transfer being made by railroad.
The dog fed to the woods when the men
began the work of removal, and few
days afterward made his appearance at
the Grafton Cemetery, lank and starved
by the long journep over the mountains,
by some instinct found the new grave
of his master, and resumed his self-ap-
pointed duty of watching it.
The story has fishy odor, but the
Wheeling Intelligencer says it isvouched
for by respectable authority.

such an example, and. we should honor

The kilograms flying over the country
in regard to Grants accepting the Chi
cago platform, and after careful erGm5-
nation, expressing himself thoroughly
satisfied, must be intended as a joke.

whether gigantic or dwarf-like in pro-
portions, they invariably gust fit him. -
If the the platform had embodied the
necessity of fencing in the United States,
