A New Discovery With Corn.

An intelligent and reliable neighbor Of
ours, who has for years been making ex-
periments with corn, has discovered an
Importance and value in replanting corn
which is quite novel, and worthy of publi-
cation. We have always thought replant-
corn was osvery little consequence, but
,uiS gentleman says "it is of 50 much con-
sequence, he replants whether it is needed
or motor rather, he plants two or three
weeks after the crop is planted, hill
about every fifteenth row each way" He
says ''If the weather becomes dry dur
ing the filling time, the silk and tassel
both becomes dry and dead. In this con-
dition if it should become seasonable, the
silk revives and renews it's growth, but
the tassel does not recover. Then for
want of pollen the silk is unable to fill the
office for which it was designed. The pol
len from the replanted corn is then ready
to supply the silk, and the filling is COM
pleted." He says nearly all the abortive
sars, SO common in all corr crops, is caus-
ed by want of pollen, and that he has
known ears to double their size in this
second filling .-Er.

April Thoughts.

With linked hands the days trip lightly
into the dim arcbway of the past, some
casting sunshine and strewing flowers in
our path some planting sharp thorns of
regret to tear our toiling feet; others,
days of sad Bereavement, throwing shadows
upon our hearts that will only be shone
away by the light of eternity.
And now, April has come again, meet
ing with capricious coldness, the warm
welcome we would fain extend to the fair
month that bids the buds and flowers ex-
pand. Has she forgotten how softly she
smiled on us last year, and how we wept
together over buried treasure Oh, we

low our brow to the emerald sward, and
feel on our bowed head, the tender touch
Of her breezy fingers while we weep fol
the vanished light of eyes that have
ceased to weep since April last, and will
not weep again fOrevermore.
Spring-time would be a sad mockery Of
joy to many of us, did we not know that
our loved who coldly sleep meath the
6iossoming ground, will, in the "sp,ir g
lime of souls" come forth in rene y sc
beauty, and bloom again in perennia

Economy Of Seed in Planting,

&1perimoats have recec,ly tended to
prove that roots and grains by being
planted much further apart than is usual,
will actually yield larger crops than are
now obtained. This has been shown to be
the case with wheat. 1t is found that the
wheat plant increases above the ground in
proportion as its roots have room to de-
velOp without any interference with those
of its neighbors. In one experiment,
wheat thus treated furnished ears con-
tanning over one hundred and TWEEN ty
grains. 1t was found, in the course Of
the same experiments, that on every fully
developed cereal plant there is one ear su-
periOr to the rest and that each ear has
one grain which, when planted, will be
more productive than any other. BY se-
lecting, therefore, the best grain of the
best ear, and continuing to ,exterminate
through several generations, point will
be reached beyond which further i'm.
provement is impossible, and fixed and
permanent type remains as the final result

Barns.

From an article in the Southern Farm
and Home, on "Farm Buildins," we take
the following:
The rail pens, log-cribs and pole shell
ters are not only hideously unsightly and
slovenly, but they are the most expensive
buildings that could be erected. The
manner of their location, mode Of con-
struction and exposure TO the weather and
TO thieves, causes more waste and loss in
five years on plantation of twenty hands,
than it would cost to build the finest kind
of barn. We do not ellude to the ad-
7itiolsl attractiveness of neat, eommodi-
Jus outbuildings on farm or how they
Constitute an additional stimulant to an i'm
proved system Of agriculture, as an III
vestment of taste and attachment as we'll
as money, but it is certain that every i'm
proyement We make, every comfort we add
to our homes,and every tree we plant, cre-
ates and fosters that home feeling which is
the handspring ofpermanent improvement.
A we'll built barn will last for half
century, with ordinary care and without
much expense for repairs. We have al.
most all the materials on our plantations,
and the cost of building is small compared
with the sums which Northern farmers ex-
pend for the farm yard improvements on
tG-;r com s2ratiyely small farms. The
New England farmers who know the exact
value and power of dollar, and who very
rarely expend one on anything that is not
pretty sure to bring back two or three, are
distinguished for their excellent farm
buildings, auG unless they .ound it pay

The following decision has been render
ed by the Revenue Department in regard
to the change of firms: "Every change Of
firm, whereby former partner retires
from the same, or new partner is admit
ted, constitutes, in contemplation Of law,
new firm, liable to new special tax for
the unexpired portion of the year for
which the same has been paid by the orig
inal firm, which should be assessed from
the first day of the month in which the
change occurs. There is no provision in
the law by which person retiring from
business during the year for which he has
paid the tax can transfer his receipt to
the person succeeding him."

Hint to Gardeners.

In some places they have somewhat
novel method of treating tomato plants,
which produces fruit of an excellent quail
ity which ripens early. The stems are
cut off down to the first cluster of flowers
which appears on them, thus forcing the
sap into the buds below; and this is done
five times successfully. By this means
the plants become stout dwarf bushes, not
over eighteen inches high, and they are
kept erect in the rows by sticks OF strings
Avery simple method and one that can
easily be accomplished. The tomato is
considered a luxury and anything that
will improve the fruit will doubtless be
interesting to those fond of it.
