How to Plant Corn.

1t is corn-planting time, there are
many of our farmers who would proba-
bly, glad to know the plan pursued by
Mr.. David Dickson, of Hancock county,
Ca, eone of the most successful corn
growers in the South. His suggestions,
which are communicated to the Southern
Cultipator, are the result of experience
tsnt and scientific research in farming for
nnsssnore than twenty years. The following
IS his plan for breaking the land and
. q planting the corn:
as Have good turning pIows, and ac-
70 fording to your ability, use one or two
horses, and subsoil. Ride over the field
7. and lay off the land so that the horses
Il will GO round on level, and the dirt will

nine inches deep in this way as
as they could seven inches on a
piece of land. Continue to take
ands in the same way until the field
6ished, one team following another
Ne time going round the circle; and
N you subsoIl, have one team between
eh turning plow, running in the bot
- faof the furrow. When you finish
N tie field is ready for planting, if the
proper time has arrived. In deciding
this point, you must be governed by the
weather. 1t varies from the 10th of
March to the 1st of April. According
to my experience, man only gains hard
work, and more of it, by very early
planting.
! :.sw for the planting: Lay off fur
ows with long shovelpi ena level,
seven feet apart. Commence at the Op-
posite end with long shovel and open
out the same furrow. The reason for
this is, you get up to trees and stumps
and make better finish at the ends
This furrow should stand open seven or
eight inches deep. Whether you use
compost cotton seed or guanos, let each
band have his three feet measure, and
deposit the manure, just three feet apart.
Then drop the corn within three or four

of Peter Cartwright,
at the Cartwright Festival.

Mr.. Cartwright was introduced, and
was re eceived with many expressions
of applause. He had been called q
strong man, but to-day he felt weak
as a child. 30 overcome was he by this
manifestation of the love and esteem
of his fellow Christians. He was the
oldest preacher in the Methodist
Church, now engaged in the ministry.
For sixty years he had labOTed for
Lord and Master, and during that
time he had only received at three
times the amounts allowed him by
the church. He had the oldest
preachers wife in the world, and had
lived happily with her for sixty years
He had seven children, and sixty
grand and great-grand children. He
was born in Virginia, and had been a
citizen of the West from the lime he
was six years old, and now he is
eighty-five years. He had no langu-
age to describe the situation of his
country at the time. He had suffered
in body, mind and purse. He had
been caught five hundred miles from
home, with and old blind horse and
seveenty-five cents in his pocket. He
He had never been officially com
planned of in quarterly meeting but
once. In his young days he wore
knee breeches and top boots. At the
first conference he ever attended a
complaint was laid agasnst him for
corrupting the morals of the people
wearing a pair ofsuspenders, and they
sent him home. But the Lord always
provides for the lazy and His lame,
and he found that Bishop MsKendree
had INDUCED in the same luxury.
He was then shOutsng happy enough.
When he entered the ministry there
was but one college bred preacher,
and he was only half-bred. Through
the efforts of DR.. Akers, no got D. d.
stuck to his name and that very day
he was taken with a pain in his back,
he rather thought it rose from his title.
He was a poor soldiers boy and his
onl yson. His father wanted to make
an educated mau Of him but he missed
it badly. When it pleased God to give
him religion, it was of the true back
woods style. He knew he had obtain
ed the pardon for his sins, and the
knowledge of that had sustained him
in all trials. He had preached as
many sermons as any living man,
although lie could not say how good
rhey were. He hailed with delight
the success of all who preached the
true gospel. He had not strength to
labor as a regular preacher, and he
now entirely dissolved connection
with the church as travelling preach
er, and now Notwithstanding the
crosses, trials and troubles of a travel
ing preacher he would rather be one
than President of the United States (;

The above engraving represents the
honey emptying machine, devised in
Germany, as now improved and used
quite extensively in this country.
1t consists of an outer frame or tub,
with a revolving frame within, having
two sides covered with fine wire cloth
through which the honey passes from
the comb on the inside and against
the wire case, being thrown out by
centrifugal force. By the use of this
machine the comb may be emptied
and returned to the hive, saving much
time for the bees, in comb building,
increasing the honey collected during
the rich honey harvests, besides often
afording empty cells for the queen
when the colony would be otherwise
greatly weakened, as a surplus Of hon
ey often occupies room that should be
devoted to breeding. Sealed brood is
not injured, nor will eggs or pOllOn be
removed by the operation, but young
Larvae and honey uncapped will soon
quit the cells when the machine is
once in motion. Hence combs with
uncapped brood should not be taken,
and cealed honey must be uneapped.
By usidg a knife with a bent shank
like brick mason's n'strowel, but short
er, and dipping it frequently in boil
ing water, to prevent the edge from
clOgging, two cards of comb can be
emptied clean and dry in five minutds,
and returned to the hive. The honey
ie clear the flavor unimpaired, even
when taken from old dark combs
partly filed with bee-bread, which
would injIre both flavor and color of
the honey, was extracted by heating
or pressure The honey put up in
self-sealing glass fruit jars sells rapid
ly for nearly the same price perpOund
as the finest box honey and aside
from mere show is more preferable for
table use.
The machines are public property
and as any one is free to make them,
we will give a more minute descrip-
tiOn.
The size and depth of both the inner
and outer case will depend upon the
size of the frame to be used. The out
er case is made water tight, a tub or
part of a barrel may be used and only
needs to be large enough to allow the
inner case to revOlve without con-
tact. The upright shaft sets in an
auger mole in cross piece at the bottom
and passes through hole in a strip
across the outer case. The ends and
bottom of the inner case are made of
boards about ten inches wide, with a
strip from corner to corner on each
edge of end pieces at top on which to
nail the wire and the strip in the CEN
ter through which the shaft passes, is
about four inches wide, leaving room
on each side to insert and remove
combs. They are made with and
without gearing. With gearing, as
above they sell for $12 to So and with
out gearing they are provided with
horizontal crank at the top of the
shaft and sell from SO to $12. When
a tub or shaft is used for an outer case,
the casting or gearing and material
for inner case should not cost more
than S.. II. A. X.

Care of RoOts and Shoes.

Boots and shoes, if taken care Of
properly, will generally last two OF
three times longer than they usually
do, and, at the same time, fit the feet
far more satisfactory, and keep them
dry and more comfortable in wet and
cold weather. The upper leather
should be kept soft and pliable, while
the sOles need to be hard, tough and
imperviOus in water. The first thing
to be done with any new pair Of shoes
for farm use is to set each one on q
platter or an old plate, and pour on
boiled linseed oil sufficient to fill the
vessel to the upper edge Of the sOles.
Let the leather absorb rs much oil as
it viii. for eight hours. Linseed oil
should not be applied to the upper
leather, as it viii sOan become dry,
rendering the leather hard and tough;
but if the sOles be saturated with this
oil, it will exclude dampness and en-
large the pegs, so that the sole will
never get loose from the upper leath-
er. If the shoes be sewed, the linseed
oil viii preserve the thread from rot
ting. Now, wet the upper leather
when the boots or shoes
are to be put on the feet, so that those
parts which are tight may render a
trife, and thus adapt the form Of the
shoe to the foot far more satisfactorily
than when the upper leather Is not
wet. Keep them on the feet until the
leather is nearly dry. Then give the
upper leather a thorough greasing
with equal parts OF lad and tallow,
Or with tallaw and neats-fOOt oil. If
shoes be treated in this manner, and
and a row Of Tcand-headed shoe nails
be driven around the edge of the soles,
they will wear like copper, and al
ways set easy to the feet. Boots and
shoes should be treated as suggested,
lnd worn a little several months be-
iOre they are put to daily service.
This is the true way to save your shoe
money
