SAVING SEED CORN.

The corn crop of the West is un
doubtedly reduced by many hundred.
of thousands of bushels every year,
simply from inat:ention to the say
ing of seed in the fall Corn gathered
in the field, traced or tied together and
hung up in an airy place to dry, will
give better satisfaction at planting time
than that picked from the crib, low
ever well saved, and will eften germi-
nate promptly and ensure good stand
where the other will not; and next to
Indifferent cultivation, there is nothing
that costs the farmer 80 much corn as
bad st. nd.
In saving seed corn, care should be
taken to select only such cara as are
perfect in form, with grain of uniform
color, with small cob, and we'll filled
out at the end. 1t is exceedingly diff
6cult to keep any variety absolutely
pure in the West; since the pollen of
one variety may be carried by the wind,
perhaps for miles, and fer,iliIze another
variety, but care in saving seed will
obviate much Of this trouble. We do
not advocate the saving of seed corn
until it is ripe. 1t is true it will grow
if gathered earlier, and so will shrunk-
en- wheat and other grain, and vet no
Trainer advocates the sowing of shrunk
en- wheat. Flint corn ripens its grain
while the cob is yet soft, but the West
ern or "Dent" corn begins first to har-
den at the cob. yankee" corn may
be cut much greener and yet ripen
earlier than the early varieties of
Dent corn, and for the reason above
stated, that when the flint corn is
glazed there is substance enough in the
cob and STALK to mature it; but the
Western varieties, if cut before they
are apparently ripe, invariably shrink
more or less.
If you have been so unfortunate as
to plant this season, one of the late
southern sorts, and it has been planted
so extensively in the west that an early
frost would cost the farmers of Illinois
untold thousands of dollars, 60 immed-
lately to your nearest neighbors who
has some one of the favorite early sorts.
and at whatever price, save your seed
from his field, by plucking from stalks
bearing the best single ears; strip the
husks, leaving enough with which to
tie two together, and hang the ears in
some airy, dry place to cure. Do not
depend upon either your own corn or
that of your neighbors, even if it cost
you dollar a bushel to save your seed !;
but SO saved it is cheaper for planting,
one year with another, than GIFT corn
from the crib. Seed corn may be
saved measurably we'll in narrow cribs.
if gathered before frost But little
corn, however. is often fit to crib before
frost comes in the fall.

REPUBLICAN EXTRAVAGANCE

In these days of the administration
of public affairs under the guidance of
the Republican party, our opponents
have considerable to say about the dire
extravaganza and fragrant expenditures
apparent on every hand, and go SO lar
as to assert that the Democratic party
must be restored to power before any
thing like retrenchment and reform can
be infused into every branch of the
Government. But as it happens the
illustrations we haye of the results of
Democratic rule do not have the effect
of proving that this desirable end can
be reached through this agency. Vice
President Colfax in his great speech at
South Bend, Indiana on the 10th inst.
lays bear these great pretensioas to
honesty and reform. For example he
shows that the last Democratic admin
istration commenced with SIT 900, 900
in the treasury and in the next fiscal
year this cash on hand had been spent,
and our debt had increased from $50
900, 900 to s44 100000. until finally
when Buchanan surrendered the White
House the debt was $70,000,O00.
Making the proper reductions, it took
an average of $64 900 900 in gold for
the ordinary running expenses of the
government, and this, remember, was
in time OF peace, and when our popu-
ation averaged 100000. This is
about 81 Is for each inhabitant in gold.
Making the same deductions as in the
case of Buchanan's administration. the
first year of the administration of Gen.
Grant has only cost sS0,OO0,0OO for
100000 of people, or an average Of
barely $500 for each inhab,tant in
paper.
Re have still stronger illustration
of the beauties of Democratic reform ia
the case of New York city. In TIE
year 1867 the cost of governing the
100000 of people in that city was
about S24 100000. On this basis il
would cost to govern 5000, 900 nearly
81 900 100000. With this example be-
fore us it is to be hoped that none of
the Tammany chiefs, at least, will ever
inherit the White House. We hardly
think, contemplating these few spe l.
mems of Democratic retrenchment in
public affairs, that the people of this
country are prepared to change from the
Republican to the Democratic basis.
