How to Raise large Crops of Corn.

HOW 10 h<aa'Se large Crops OF Corn.
Having heard that the late Colonel
Walker, of Boone county, Illinois, had
grown more than ten times the guam
tity or corn, per acre, usually grown
in our county, for some years past, /
made special inquiries of him as to the
naodus operandi of his success-expect-
ing to learn some of the peculiarities
OF his mode of planting and cultiva-
ting the crop. 11aa
That / manifested much surprise
when he informed me that he merely
planted the patch in hills, in the COM
mon way, and made but little use of
the hoe in cultivatipg it, / admit. The
assurance he gave me that nearly every
stalk produced two heavy sound ears,
very many three, some four, and in a
few instances, five very good ears,
from single stalks, unraveled the mys-
terry which many deemed utterly in
credible
The summing up of the case was,
that very many cattle had been herded
and fed on the few acres which yielded
SO abundantly, many hogs had been
yarded, grain and hay had been s. ack-
ed thereon, and other modes of fertal-
izing the ground had been practiced
before it was plowed deep, and well
for the seed.-Rural World.

An old fisherman states that if a
man wants to catch fish whenever he
visits the river, let him not pick the
full moon days to do it in. He gives
philosophical reason for the advice
whether sound or not we cannot de-
eide. He says when the moon is full,
the nights being bright enables them
the fish to do their foraging in the
night time. OF course, having their
wants supplied, they lay up all day,
and consequently there is a scarcity of
"bites" Under a new moon season,
the fish have to sleep at night, and
work by day; that makes the differ
ence in the fisherman's string.

A DAY A Day! 1t has risen up
on from the great deep of eternity,
grit round with wonder; emerging
from the womb of darkness new
creation of life and spoken into being
by the word of God. In itself one en-
tire and perfect sphere of space and
time, filled and emptied of the sun.
Every past generation is represented
in it; it is the Towering of all history,
and in so much it is richer and better
than all other days which have rreced-
ed it. And we have been recreated to
new opportunities, with new powers
called to this utmost promontory of
actual time, this centre of all coming
life. And it is for to-day's work we
have been endowed it is for this
work we are pressed and surrounded
with these faculties. The sum of our
entire being is concentrated here; and
to day is all the time we absolutely
have.

:siMAIsE--The orerweeninsgy Importance at
tached to the result Of the election, in Maine
by many Of both parties induces us to recur
to the subject. The popular vote in the State
ranges up to about 10000 The, average
Radical majority for years past has been
about 1000. Any reduction from that
sum will, therefore, be q Democratic gain on
this election, which is fought solely On nation
al issue. In 1850, LINCOLN had majority
Of 1904 in 1864, his majority was Il ,5s2j
In the vote for Governor the same year the
Radical majority was i 1870; in 1854, it was
a., s21 land in 1866. Tie Radical majority
reached 27,6S7sa In 1867, owing mainly to
the great unpopularity of the State oonstabu-
larry law and other local issues, the Democra.
cy succeeded in reducing this heavy Radical
majority to 1854. ~
From these facts it will be seen that a fur
ther reduction Of the Radical vote this wear
can hardly be expected Indeed, it would
afford no unfavorable indication Of the result
ofthe Presidential election in .Noyembear. If
Maine on Monday next should largely in

Of course greatly rejoice to see Democratic
gains in Maine, but we shall not be much
