The Neutrality <.aws.
= The British an Spanish Ministers
here have had conference within two
or three days; which seems from what
is said about it in diplomatic circles to
have been of some Significance. 1t took
place at the instance Of Mr.. Thornton,
who appears to be specially DESTROYS of
seeing bow the United States observes
and enforces its neutrality laws, and
there are reasons for believing that his
talk with the Spanish Minister was
upon this subject. The latter could
certainly tell him good deal about
the situation in New. York with respect
to Cuban affairs.
, Some persons believe England is pre-
pairing to meet certain of our demands
on the Alabama question with the asser'
ton that we do not enforce our neutral-
ity laws any better than she does hers.
Dispute About nm Island.
England and Portugal some time ago
got into dispute as to the ownership
of the Island of Bolomo, which lies on
the west coast of Africa, not far from
Liberia. Last winter they made a
treaty referring the question to the
United States for adjustment, and the
duty of arbitrating was accepted by the
President. The ministers of these
countries today presented their papers
at the State Department. The case on
each side makes about two hundred
manuscript pages, and the proper exam
ination will require the attention of
our Government for soYstime.

The dry goods trade is generally very

cotton goods, in sympathy with raw

In six cord finish spool cotton there is
no change in trade prices, bur agents of

Selecting Seed Corn.

Last Spring, two years instituted series
Of experiments with seed corn which, with
their results, may be interesting to your read
ers
la the Fall when husking selected for
seed ten ears from stalks with two ears. and
/ the same number from stalks with but one ear.
last spring, year. | planted five rows
with seed taken from the stalks Of each kind,
the points and butts being SHIELDED of, and the
seed differing only in the number Of cars pro-
duccd to the stalk. | also took portion OF
seed cars, and after Smelling off all the imper-
feet grains at the points and butts. J shellcd
| three inches from the points and kept it by it,
/ self. aud used il for the next five rows; and the
remainder OF the seed | used for another five
rows Thus / had twenty rows from different
classe, of secd-fivo Of each kind, which will
number thus No. T. from car. from stalks
containing two ears the most perfect being
uscd) No. ., from seed from stalks of only
one ear, the imperfect grains hcing shelled of 4;
NO. 3, from thcdr,t three inchc, olpcrlect corn,
measuring from the point Of the ear NO. g.,
from seed taken from the base OF the ear, or
from the base to the middle.
After husking these twenty rows, noted
the following results:
ln so. . there were two more stalks bear
ing two ears than No. l.. hence | concluded
that seed from stalk, bearing two ears Is more
likely to produce stalks with two ears than
where the seed is taken from ears Of like
quality from stalks bearing but one ear.
80. 1, was ripe some two and half weeks
before No. 3, aud was better cared aud filled
out TO the end Of the cob, which was not the
case with No. 3. From this | am led to COM
clude that seed from the base aud middle will
produce ears thatwill ripen from two to three
weeks sooner than if taken from the point
Our farmers are too careless in their selco-
ton Of seed corn more caro- will pay, for
like produces like o.. surely with corn as with
amy other plant.
Great care is necessary ia trying to select
or raise two kind. of corn from the same
patch.
l have now before me an car containing
three kinds of corn, viz: white corn of d
bright rye straw color; yellow corn of deep
orange color. sweet corn of drab color
the latter is wrnklej, while the two former
are plump aud fun
The plant which produced this ear was from
stalk produced by grain Of white corn. Bat
there was both yellow and sweet corn on the
same field, though neither was less than three
hundred yards from the white corn. The yell
low common corn is mixed with the other two.
and they are also mixed with IT,
The mixture takes place with other plants,
thus cabbage will mix with turnips, which
will mix with radishes aud ruta bagas, which
viii mix with rape, and the result will mix
with cabbages
Again | say more care will pay. Select
good, sound ripe corn, and there will be less
replanting. prefer letting the seed corn
get fully ripe before storing away for Winter.

lIanuring Asparagns Beds.

Most writer's advise the application of ma
nurc in the fan, after the hauin or stems
are cut other, in the early spring, before
cutting the shoots for use The objection
to the first is that there is much waste of
the fertilizer and to the second that it in
iures the flavor Of the asparagus. A CORES
pondent of the CouRirg Gentleman thinks
both difficulties may be obyiated if the ma
nure is applied in the spring, Immediately
after the cutting has ceased During rain,
if possible, a pretty heavy coating Of good
rich manure is applied, and during the rest of
the season, when convenient, liquid manure
is also employed. The reasons assigned for
this method OF treatment are as follows
The main thing that will influence the size
and quality Of the spring shoots is the char
acter of the previous summers growth. OF
this we have had ample proof. No amount
Of maturing, either in spring or fall, or both
together, will enable Us to procure a supply
Of well-grown shoots from a bed which made
but a feeble growth during the previous sum-
mer. Atthe same time We have frequently OBJ
tanned shoots OF the best quality without the
use Of any manure during the spring in which
they were cut, but these shoots were produced
from plants which had shown extra vigor dur
ing the preceding summer. If we trace the
results back to their cause, we shall probably
find it to be something like this The current
springs shoots owe their vigor TO the charac-
ter Of the roots which produce them more
than to any thing else the quality of these
roots depends upon the extent Of the pre-
vious summers stems and foliage and the ex-
tent of these stems and foliage depends upon
the amount Of food given to the plants during
the early part Of the growing season. Hence,
our plan has always been to manure in the
spring, after the cutting season is over. In
this way we avoid all disagreeable associa.
tions and bad Aavors, and the result is every
way more satisfactory
