Corn in Drills and in Hills.

At the Michigan Agricultural College
in 1868, two plots of land were set apart
substantially equal in character of soil,
each measuring forty-eight rods in length
by two in with. The ground was plowed
May S, and manure was spread evenly
and worked in by cultivator and harrow.
Yellow Dent corn was planted May 21st
in rows four feet apart; one of the plots
being planted in hills, the other in drills
The plots were cultivated and hoed June
Is, and again July 7, the plants being
thinnsd so as to leave the same number
of stalks on each plot, including an equal
distribution of plants throughout the SUBJ
divisions of the plots. AS nearly as pos.
sible, each of the two plots received the
same amount of labor in cultivation. The
stalks were cut Mt the bottom September
II, and stocked in good order. Three
weeks aftcrward the corn was husked and
weighed. The stalks were then again
carefully stocked, and were hauled and
weighed, in good condition, October IL.
The corn on the portion planted in hills
was rather better in quality than on that
planted in drills. But the drilled portion
produced seventy. -four and one.sixth BUSH
els of shelled corn and three tons of stalks
to the acre, against sixty.6ve and one
half bushels of corn and two and two
thirds tons of stalks per acre, produced by
the portion in hills,

The Hest site for an Orchard.

Dodart first observed that treess push
ed their branches in direction parallel
to the surface of the earth. If tree
stands on steep hillside, it pushes both
toward the hill and the declivity F.; but on
both sides it still preserves its branches
PARALLEL to the surface. The most fruit
full orchards and most fertile trees are
those planted on a declevity, and the
sleeper it is, though not quite precipice
the more fertile they prove. 1t is we'll
known that the spreading Of trees always
renders them fruitful. On a plane they
incline to shoot upward, and therefore art
is employed by skilful gardeners, and ap-
piled in various ways, to check their per-
pendicular and promote their lateral
growth. But this point is obtained on a
declivity BY Nature.

The Messenger Horse.

great admirer of the Messenger stock,

Of the original imported Messenger. He
seems to have been imported by Mr.. Ber-
ger, and landed in New York in 1871,
having been bred by John Pratt, Esq,
of New Market. His pedigree is as fol-

Listen to the Robins Call.

Listen to the Robins Call.
When the Spring begins to wake,
And each sky-refiecting lake
Casts aside its icy pail,
Listen to the Robins call
When the Summers fervid breath
Warns to life, the form of DEATH
When the orange decks the hail.
Listen to the Robins call.
When the nestlings learn to fly,
When the harvest moon is high,
When the golden apples fall
Listen to the Robins call.
What are the robins saying,
What Is their grand refrain
A Joy 80 full conveying,
II almost borders paint
"'Tis sweet to live" say the robins gay,
"And our spirits thrill, with such glad de-.
light,
That our throats must MARBLE the livc-long
day,
And our hearts, to the raptures of song, give
way,
Or break by Its blissful mirth."

whether the ground was rough or smooth
he always stood upon it prompt, erect and
lofty.
Shortly after his arrival he was taken
to Pennsylvania, and stood two seasons
at Neshamony Bridge, not far from Bris-
toll. After which, he was purchased by
Henry Astor, of New York, and remain
ed two seasons at Long Island, from
whence he was taken to Duchess county,
N. Y. The farthest point south he ever
stood was Cooper's Ferry, opposite Phil
adelphia.
He died on Long Island, at the farm
of Townsend Cook, January %, 1903.
No more valuable horse, in improving
the stock Of the country, was ever i'm
ported into the United States. Where
ever known the Messenger stock is con-
sidered unrivalled for speed, endurance,
long life, and making a prime roadster

always developed what is known as the
American horse of all work, willing and
ready for any service to which he may be

stirred up well with hoe. In week
this will be ready for use, and it forms a
most efficient fertilizer for all the cereal
crops. We think it does more for corn,
in giving plump, full kernels, than any
concentrated fertilizer we have employed.
A handful is enough for hill, put in at
time Of planting. Before dropping the
seed, little earth should be kicked over
the powder so that it may not come in
direct contact with 1t.
Our statements are based on actuel ex-
perience, and experience probably more
extensive than has fallen to the lot Of
most others.-Dr. Nichols, in Journal Of

Very Painful Accident.

At about noon Yesterday, Fritz Staub, little
son of Mr.. Peter Staub, of this city, and about
IL years old, met with very painful accident;
He was going down Prince street, by the Second
Presbyterian Churchyard, and nearly opposite
the livery stable of Mr.. w. Keys, when he saw
a loose horse with piece of timber hanging to
his bride coming up the street towards Market
Place in full speed. The little fellow, seeing
there was danger, took shelter behind wagon
standing against the curbing The horse, after
passing Clinch street, seemed to become desper-
ate, and plunged headlODg into the wagon crush
ing it downnponthe boy yspd with such force as
to make a complete somesault before reaching
the ground beyond.
Two or three men who happened to be near
by and saw the accident rushed TO the spot,
and picked up the little fellow in terribly
mangled condition.
One hind wheel of the wagon lay across him,
but it was probably owing to the dish of the
wheel and the projection of the hub that he es;
capped with life. He was Immediately carried
back across the street to the office of DR.. G. r.
Brandeau, who happened to be absent and Dr.D.
r. Boynton was sent for Dr. b. came, and
Mr. Staub being in the meantime informed oil
what had happened arrived and the suffer was
conveyed to his home on hocust street, when
Dr. NJ. l.. Rogers, the family physician, was
called in and in conjunction with DR.. Boynton
dressed the wounds. 1t was found that there
was compound fracture of the humerus nearthe
left shoulder, with a slight confusion upon the
forehead, and some conclusion but probably not
serious.
The surgeons speak highly of the great pa
thence with which he bore the intense suffer-
ing of resetting the bone, no chloroforn being
administered. In the afternoon he slept short
time apparently without pain audit is hoped he
may recover soon.
The horse in question belonged to Bell 81
Bells livery stable at the corner of Cumberland
and Prince streets. One of the stable hands was
doing some cleaning up and happened to strike
the blank partition adjoining the stall in which
the horse was standing which so frightened him
that he broke loose and ran out of the stable
and up the streetas before related.
The horse seems to be either unfortunate or
very vicious, as he has heretofore nearly killed
several men, among whom are Jas. Comfort,
ESQ, VIM. Rogan, Capt. VIM. Rule also a
shoemaker, whose name we did not learn, and,
others. Fate seems to have ordained that he
| shall be the death of some one yet.

a Child RuruPtt.

Little Maudio Tucker aged about years,
daughter of J. j. Tucker, who lives on High,
between Church and Clinch streets, near Second
Creek, was badly burned yesterday about eleven
o'clock in the forenoon Her mother was doing
some work in the portco of the house when
hearing the child's screams she ran into the
house and found her clothes ablaze. She tore
off burning apron and extnguished the fire.
She was very badly burned about the throat
and mouth, and in her agony tore off the skin
from her face with her hands The apron being
cotton burned very readily and was the cause
of the injuries received. Her dress was wooden
and was only partially burned in front.
1t is supposed that she was lighting piece of
paper Mt the fire where her clothing caught. DIR.
French was called in and rendered assistance.
He does not think the case fatal one.
