Plant n few Hills of Corn Late

Plant n few Hills Of Corn Late.
A writer in an exchange pa
per advocates planting an occa-
sional hill in every corn field
late, or taking pains to replant
the missing hills, and gives the
following reason for it: If the
weather becomes dry during the
filling time, the silk and tassel
beth become dry and dead. In
this condition, if it should be-
come seasonable, the silk revives
and renews it's growth, but the
tassel docs not recover. Then,
for want Of pollen, the new silk
is unable to fill the office for
which it was designed. The
pollen from the replanted corn
is then rea " to supply the silk,
and the filling is completed
He says nearly all the abortive
ears, so common in all corn crops,
is caused by want Of pollen, and
that he has known ears to doub.
le their size in this second fill.
ing Prairie Farmer.
How English Farmers Suffer.
An English farmer recently
committed suicide because the
rabbits on his ground devoureJ
all his crops. Being ''game,'
it is a penal offense in that ar
istocratic country, to destroy
any wild birds or animals-the,
must be propagated and KEEP
for the rich gentry to hunt
This farmer was compelled t,
pay as much rent yearly for hi:
land as an American farmcl
buys it outright for, but he wa!
not allowed to keep down tn,

POETICAL MAXINIs.


Happy were men, If they but understood,
There is no safety but in doing good.
But Satan now Is wiser than 5f yore,
Aud tempts by making rich, not making poor.
Mankind one day serene and free appear;
Thenext day, they're cloudy, sullen aud severe
There is lust in man no charm can tame,
or loudly publishing his neighbor's shame.
On eagles wings immortal scandal, Ay,
Whiie yirtuous actions are but born and dia
Do good yourself, nor think another's shame,
Gan raise your morit, or adorn your fame.
Many n word at random spoken,
May soothe or wound the heart that's broken
Countall the advantages prosperous vice attain $
Ills but what virtue flies from and disdains.
Grant the bad what happiness they would,
One they must want-which is, to pass for good. i.
Riches like insects, while concealed they lie.
Wait but for wings, and in their Seasons iy.
He that holds more wine than others can,
rather count hogshead than a man.
i Is a wretched thing to trust to needs,
winch all men do that trust to their own deeds
He that to ancient wgeaths can bring no more
From bis own worth, dies bankrupt on the score.
De still sad heart and cease repininS;
Behind the cloud is the sun still shining.
Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned
And hell no fury like woman seorned.
