Broom Germ.
The cultivation Of broom corn, when
properly conducted is very profitable to
the farmer, and the brush usual finds
quick market. There are several varie-
ties Of this plant but the best known dcs-
scriptions are the evergreen. the common
and the dwarf corn. The evergreen
gives the greatest yield, but it ripens
somewhat later than the common and the
dwarf varieties The cultivation Of
broom corn is similar in most respects to
maze, but it requires more attention than
the latter to keep it free from weeds, and
prevent its going to waste.
The soil best suited to broom corn is
rich, mellow bottom lands; but they
should be free from standing water. The
looser and dryer the earth, the better
will be the crop. Heavy clay lands are
unsuited to it's growth. About four
quarts Of seed carefully drilled in, is
sufficient to sow an acre Of land. The
aggregate production per acre is from
FIVE hundred to one thousand pounds of
fine brush, but this depends entirely on
the fertility Of the soil, and the variety Of
corn grown.
The prices paid for brush take Il very
wide range, varying from $50 to $3.50
per ton, according to the quality Of the
plant, and the condition of the market
at the time of sale. The earliest vare-
ties Of corn are harvested about the last
Of August. while tho other kinds are a
week or fortnight later. The usual plan
is to commence cutting the stalks when
the seeds are still soft; but when cut too
green, the stalks shrivel, and are unfit
for market. If cut too ripe, the brush is
brittle, and turns yellow.
The evergreen corn may be cut, in
some cases, even after the seeds have az
rived at perfection, with injury to the
brush. The seed is removed by Il ma
chine made for the purpose or it is scra-
ped off by hand.
After the corn is cut, it must not be
allowed to remain in the field on wet
day, as the rain causes it to heat and mil
dew. When damaged and discolored, it
must be sold at loss, and is employed
in making the very poorest kinds of
brooms. Green brush commands the
best price in market, but when baled too
green, it is liable to heat, and spoils very
rapidly,
TO be properly cured, broom corn
should be dryed in buildings having APP
propriate racks, placed sufficiently far
apart to admit good circulation of air
to penetrate the brush. When dry and
ready for market, the brush will sell
much quicker to be handsomely baled
About two hundred to two hundred and
fifty pounds of brush is allowed to a
bale.
With view to large profits, this plant
should be cultivated on an extensive
scale, and suitable conveniences had fol
drying baling, and even storing, as the
requirements of the business make neces
sary.
Broom corn is raised in immense guam
titles on the Mohawk fats, the Western
bottom and prairie land, and also on the
alluvial deposits bordering swift running
streams.

Habits Of Noted writer's.

The New York Globe gives the pc

in this highly reliable manner
Mr.. Jennings of the Times writes
on small sheets of paper in copper
plate chiOgraphy, is very foud of raw
oysters and adores pale ale. Mr.. Ben

talking, and rarely talks loud; he new
er cares for social pleasures, and in
dulges frequently in Scotch profanity.
Mr.. Greeley of the Tribune is vain to a
degree; he dresses in eleanly garments,
but arranges them with scrupulOus re-
gard to notority; he is 70 d of atten-
ton. Mr.. Shepard of the Times is ex-

edge of his chair when he writes.
John SwintOn rolls his eyes and rum
pies his hair and covers his room with
woOd-cuts-besides, he wears a linen
coat covered with ink, and chews the
ends of his long mines. Mr.. Dana of
the Sun indulges in velocipedes, mill
tary cloak and skull cap; he has
weak eyes, and, sitting back in his
chair, has proofs read to him, while
he chews the pleasant cud of fancy.
Mr.. Reid of the Tribune sits iil his
shirt sleeves (that's queer, but he does),
wears velvet vests, and has a gold
chain ten feet long which he winds
about his neck ) he affects the diet
anti business, and his "sweet, soft
voice" is indicative of his gentle ma
ture; he likes everybody, and would
not be ill-natured for a dollar. Mr..
Marble of the World affects reticence;

How to Split Wood Easily.

Numbers of hard-woking men, who
have never been accustomed to COM
NIT their ideas to paper, understand
that any kind of fireWood, or timber
that is being split into oven-wOOd, or
riven into slaves or wagon spOkes,
will separate much more easily when
split slab fashion than when separat-
ed in the direction from the heart to-
ward the sap portion of the log or
stick. There is philosophical reason
for this. When astick is split slab fash
ion" the parts are separated between
the annual concentric circles of the
tree, one Of which is formed every
growing season, The union between
these annual layers, or rings of wood,
is not so perfect as it is between the
particles which form ring or circle
of the wood. Inexperienced laborers
and boys do not always understand
how much advantage may be taken
of their hard labor, when splitting
wood, by understanding this fact
When log is sawed into short cuts,
for example, to be split into fire-wOod,
two iron wedges and BEETLE would be
necessary to open a cut through the
heart. But by taking off thin slabs,
most of the splitting may be done
with only an ak. Sugar-maple some-
times is so difficult to split through
the heart that a laborer may drive in
all his wedges and gluts without be-
ing able to open log four feet long;
whereas, were they cut stabbed, the
splitting could be performed with
comparatively little labor of splitting
the slabs the other way will be COM
paratively light.-& e. r. IN Hearth

We sit beneath their orchard trees,
Wehear them like the hum of bees
And rustic Of the bladed corn?
We turn the pages that they read

No voice is heard, no sign is made,

How General Wool Amassed Fortune.

The evening before the veteran
Grneral Wool was stricken down with
| the illness that closed his eventful
career, he made most interesting
statement to the editor of the Troy
Wing, which conveys practical les
son, and shows how easy 1t is to be-
come rich after obtaining the first dol
lar, if one Is prudent and economical.
'1 never made but $20,O00in my Iifel"
said the General eznphatically, "but
always kept that at good interest r'-
On our expressing surprise, he went
on to explain. 1t seems that at the
close of the war of 1872, the General
found himself terribly wounded, but
about even with the world in a pecu-
MARY point of view. Shortly after
ward the Government sent him to the
far South and West on special mis-
sion connected with military affairs,
and, for fire years he travelled over
mountains, and through the almost
trackless wilderness, and accomplish
ed his difficult mission, as he always
did, to the entire satisfaction of the
Government. He had not drawn a
dollar from the Treasury except for
actual expenses, and at the end of the
five wears the Government owed him
$50, 600, which was then paid. Here
was the necIens of his large fortune.-
General Wool was then 50 years of
age. |. He died al about the age of SO.
Now let the reader take this so, 600,
which at compound interest will near
ly double every 10 years, and in the
50 years intervening between the time
of its recent and the Generals DEATH
he will find that it will amount to
just about the Generals estate, to-wit:

Origin Of Negro NlnstreIsr.

Immediately after the battle Of
Plattsburg, while the country was in
a whirl of joyous excitement, conse-
ouent upon the nations victories, the
managers of the theatre at Albany,
New York, announced. among other
attractions for the evenings enter
tainment, an original song in charac-
fer. entitled, "The Battle of Platts-
burg,u by one of the company. The
house was moderately filled, and was
immensely astonished when, on the
raising of the curtain at the appoint
ed time, there appeared, dressed and
colored 10 suit, perfect representa-
ton of a fulI-blooded African.
The excitement, which now was in
tense, was not in the least allayed by
his singing, to an original air, equal,
for its negro peculiarities, 10 the best
Of Fosters melOdies-a song Of which
the following is the opening verse:
'.Back side ofAlbany stan Lake ChampiaIn
Little pond half full o. water;
Plattsburg, too, stan close upon dc main,
Town small now, but bigger, though here
arter.
On Lake Champlain Uncle sam nc set his
An Massa McDonough he sail 'em,
While General Macomb makes Piattsbutg
his home,
Wild soldiers whose courage neber fail EN-. -
As the song proceeded, in detail
with the incidents of the battle, and
the final success of the American ar
my, the excitement increased to the
highest intensity, and the enthusiasm
| became uncomfortable. As the cur
tain descended, shouts, cheers and en-
cores were blended in one confused
I din, and the curtain had hardly touch
ed the floor when it was rung up, and
the song again sung, and this was re-
peated until the manager was com
PEELED to apologize for the eXhaus-
ton of the singer, and promised its
repetition on the following evening.
The next day nothing was talked OF
in the city but the Battle Of Platts-
burg, and for a long season it was the
| chief attraction at the theatre. Any
thing would serve for a bill, provided
i the new song was in the programme.
The papers heralded it, and the man.
ager Of the Old Park Theater made
an arrangement with the singer, and
at the close of his engagement at Al
bany, he appeared at New York TO
crowded houses no less wild and ell
thusiastic.
Thus the credit of the first negro
song does not belong, as has been sc
often stated, to Jim Crow Rice; and
the origin, not alone in mere imita-
ton of negro eccentricities, but in di-
rect allusiOn to and sympathy with
| the victories of the American army in
its second struggle with British ty-
ranny.

THE BABY.

She isthe blitiIest, brightest bird,
Tho sweetest, winsome little fay,
That e'er n loveless bosom stirred
TO own affections potent sway.
Her locks are sunshine softly curied
Above brow they loved 20 kiss;
Her eyes, twin stars from other world,
Wandering in wonder over this
Her cheeks are rudy, sweet and fair,
Where dimples play at hide-and-seek;
Her lips bright stores OF gladness, where
Rejoicing waves of laughter break.
For home she's one continued song
A sunny dispellant Of care;
A star, a joy where troubles throng;
To earth Heayen-to Heaven prayer
From g 1driIa."
