We do not think so. He went down to the

Of Rock Island, aud whenever be disgraces

even do The suffice, justice, last evening
Some Of his remarks we're too filthy for
publication. He occupies a high public
position, aud musl expect to to be criticised.
II he de'ires to metsmorphose himself into
a low banner, let him resign, and seek
immunity from attack in the shades Of
obscurity. Bat while be is Mayor, and

Seeding Down Woodland.

Husbandmen who have small farms and
wish to make every acre available, will be
benefited, perhaps, by the following prac-
tice given by a correspondent to the Gin
cinnati Gazette, who has had good success
with blue grass. He says:
After getting the logs and brush cleared
off so as to give the grass chance to grow,
| burn the leaves off and SOW my seed at a
convenient time during the winter. When
the grass first comes up, it is very delicate
and easily smOthered out by leaves accu-
mulating upon it. In order, therefore,
that it should not succeed, it will be neces-
sary to burn the leaves each fall or winter
for season or two. This may be done
with very little injury to the grass, if care
is taken to do it when the ground is frozen.
When the blue grass ripens in June, l
take my reap hook and gather the seed :;
cutting the straw as long as possible, l
bind it up as l would sheaf of oats, and
let it cure in the sun. It is then placed
away carefully where it will not be dis
turbed till wanted for sowing. In sowing,
take bundle in my hand and give it a
gentle shake where | wish it to fall then
tap and jar until all the seed are shaken
off. By this means ] scatter my seed broad
cast evenly; whereas, if the seeds are strip
ped off as in the usual method, it will fall
in lunches

Comparative Weight of Corn and Cobs.

At Geneva, ILL.,, on Saturday, Novem-
Der 18th, according to the Republican of
that place, eight farmers compared samples
of their corn of this years crop. Four ears
of one lot were weighed and the weight
found to be two pounds and eleven ounces
An equal weight of each samples was then
taken, when each was shelled and the
shelled corn weighed. These weights
varied from two pounds two and One-half
ounces to two pounds four and one-haIf
ounces. The eight samples unshelled
weighed twenty-oEe pounds and and eight
ounces shelled seventeen pounds and
eleven ounces. The weight of the cob
then was III per cent. of gross weight.
These samples were all of Dent corn and
may be supposed to be of the best corn
raised in Northern Illinois this year.
In selling corn in the ear, the weight al
lowed for bushel of shelled corn varies
considerably: ranging from sixty-eight to
seventy-pOunds; the latter when the corn
is not well dried; the former for good corn
late in the season. These selected lots
showed weight of little less than twelve
and a half pounds of cobs for each bushel
of shelled corn; or sixty-eight and one
half pounds in the ear would give fifty
six pounds of shelled corn.
