How Corn is to be Harvested.

Mr.. Harris says in tie Agricuzturist i:
1 believe corn will yet be harvested as
we harvest wheat-cut with reaper.
bound into bundles of convenient size
for pitching, and then thrashed or husk-
ed by a big machine, driven by ten
horses or steam engine. 1t must be
powerful enough to take in bundle at a
tine, strip off the ears and husk them,
and the stalks as they pass through can
be cut up and elevated by straw car
rier. l believe in less than ten years
we shall see hundreds of such machines
travelling from farm to farm, as thrash
ing machines now do, and we shall
wonder how we ever got along without
them

How to Manage a BuII.

The National Live Stock Journal replies
to correspondent:
10 no animal is exercise more impor-
tant than the breeding bull; and it is.
we believe, the judgment of large ma.
Jorlty OF practical breeders that the fire.
quent instances of inefficiency in high.
bred animals are caused by high con-
dltion and idleness. We know that
many instances might be cited of bulls
kept ind ,ors summer and winter, and
IN the highest condition, that have been
sure breeders; but these are exceptions
to the general rule, and should not be
relied upon as examples. We endeavor
to have our bulls in pasture day and
night in May and June and in the fall
months. In hot weather they are kept
in through the day. When in pasture.
we usually allow few COWS in calf to
run with them. With this management,
a bull will be vigorous, efficient, and
healthy, and much more likely to be
quiet than when constantly confined in
stable. Some breeders fence in field
OF five or six acres for bull lot, in which
they have shed and water, and where
they keep the breeding bull summer
and winter. This is a very excellent
plan; and with strong post and rail
fence, If the bull is never allowed to be
taken out, he will sometimes behave
himself quietly there for five or six
years.
In the winter, bulls are generally kept
IN stables, but should Railways be taken
out daily for exercise-if only few rods
to water, it will be great help.

Another Fraud Attemnted.

the grim defiance of the hardened villain. pro-

Is that OF political reyei, participated in by
men utterly devoid OF even shadow of prin-

and chlcanery. So desperate is the situation
of this debris of the ruined party that its mem

the strength of the stimulus of an unparal-
leled disaster, to collect their scattered forces
for fresh attack They coolly fiatter them
selves that the people mistook them and their
purpose. vixen the fact is they underestimate
the intelligence and keen political insight of
the people Starting out on this false pre-
mise, they declared that the recen6 Liberal
movement had not sufficient time to develop ::
whereas, the fact is. the longer it was sub
jected to the scrutiny of public observation
the lower 1T sank in the estimation of the peo-
pie. In the inception of the movement, one
year ago, it's leaders insisted that it was the
outgrowth of an overpowering public senti-

clare that parties in this country are not
built in day." and hence they propose to
seize time by the forelock, and organize a
party in 1872 to contend for victory in 1876
But in learning that parties are not built in
day they hsve only mastered b the lesson
of the recent campaign. Parties are not only
never of hot-house groth, but they never have
growth whatever except when based upon
some great principle of government; and
parties are not made by men, but men, if they
are wise, are made by parties. These men of
Cincinnati do not reflect that the individual

Origin of Corn.

The claim that the maize or Indian
corn plant is indigenous to the soil of
the New World has lately been contest
ed, and recent investigations of certain
Chinese records are cited to prove that
it was cultivated in China prior to the
discovery of America. Chinese authors
maintain that it came originally from
countries west of China, and that it was
introduced into that country long be-.
fore the first arrival of the Portuguese

From this the statement is made that
farmers will make more by selling un-
shelled corn in the fall at Is cents than
the following summer at 81 per bpshel !;
and that Sl.32 per bushel in De
cember Is equal to $l.50 for the same
wheat in the following June. This esti-
mate IS made on the basis of interest at
I per cent, and takes no account of
loss from the depredations of vermin.
These facts are worthy of consideration.

written by DR.. Schmucker, after an elo-
quent tribut5 to the skill and heroism of
Gen. Grant and other officers of the FEEDER
eral army, who were conspicuous for gall
antry at the sanguinary battle ut Corinth,
the following passage occurs: But it
must be admitted that some of the subal-
tern officers disgraced themselves by their
cOWardice. Gen, Grant was compelled to
order number of these under arrest on
the battlefield" Vide "History of the
civil war in the United States"
Query-NIay not this punishment of pol
trOons by Gen. Grant, account for much of
the vindictive spleen in which originates
the calumnies that assiduously assailed
him?
In the same history, on page III, it is re-
corded that during the fight which occur
red at Belmont, "Gen. Grant had two
horses shot under him." These annals
were compiled, long before Gen. Grants

and efficient services of our maligned Pres
ident, published at time when the author
did not, perhaps, think of the subject of

alted position he subsequently attained and
where he will probably remain for several
succeeding years in obedience to the wish
eS of large majority of his grateful coun-
trymen who appreciate his services in the
Cabinet as entitled to no less praise than
those of the field. CLIO.
