An experienced farmer has found, by
experiment, that where he mulched his
wheat land with vetch, he had an increase
of crop of twelve bushels per acre, and he
invariably found that land which had been
sheltered during the previous winter from
the action of the atmosphere, from cold,
etc, was always more fertile than any por-
ton of his adjoining land, even under a
high state of cultivation. Our use of mulch
upon small fruits also confirms the above
theory, for good mulch invariably in
creases the production from Is to % per
cent, as well as contributing very materi-
ally to the size, color and cleanliness of the
fruit. We believe that mulching will al

How TO Eat Pop Corn.

The days are beginning to lengthen, and
as night draws on we are glad to shut the
doors and gather round the bright CRATE
fires. Our good housewives will soon
bring out their apples and nuts, cider and
cake to tempt our appetites and spoil our
digestion. Apples and cider, however will
be scarce this year, and nuts are hard to
crack and cake is troublesome to make, we
suggest they take "new departure" and
provide themselves with good supply of
pop corn and a corn poper. Thus armed
and they are ready to entertain any num-
Der of friends who may drop in to sit
awhile, with variety of excellent dishes.
Try them on pop corn and milk and see if
it is not unanimously voted delicious. Put
a tablespoon full of fresh butter into tin
pan and heat till it is melted, pour in a
quart or more of the corn just popped and
stir well until each grain is buttered and
that makes another very nice dish. Melt
ed sugar in place of butter is also good, and
all of them are an improvement on the
corn alone.

Corn and Wheat.

The st Louis Democrat closes care
full review of the corn and wheat market,
with these conclusions: First, that we
have more wheat in the country now than
that Great Britain will buy corn Of US dd
A6ituDl, and wheat when the price suits
her; fourth that wheat will be more or less
firmly held in this country throughout the
winter; fifth, that corn will much more
largely enter into home consumption Ms q
breadstuff; and sixth, that just upon the
eve of the wheat harvest o. 1873 it will sud
denly be discovered that wheat is in exces-
sive supply, and the attempt TO rush ii into
market may cause a decline rs much too
low as the present price is too high. IL
will be we'll for our grain operators TO study
all of these things.

The Kingdom of Bantam.

Among the Holland possessions there is
Il remarkable little State which, in its con-
stitution and the original customs of its
inhabitants, SURPRISES the boldest dreams
of American emancipation ladies. Upon
the island of Java, between the cities of
Batavia and Samarang. lies the little king
dom of Bantam. Although tributary to
Holland. it is an independent State, pOlit-
ically without importance, yet happy,
rich and since time immemOrial governed
and defended by women. The sovereign
is indeed a man, but all the rest OF the
government belongs to the fair sex. The
King is entirely dependent upon his State
council, composed of three women. The
highest authorities, all state officers, court
functionaries, military commanders. and
soliers are, without exception, OF the te-
male sex. The men are agricu!turists
and merchants. The body-9uard of the
King is formed of the female elite. These
amaZons ride in the masculine style, wear
ing sharp steel points instead of spurs.
They carry a pointed lance. which they
swing very gracefully, and also a musl>et.
which is discharged at full gallop. The
throne is Unbeatable by the eldest son. and
in case the King dies without issue hun
dred elected amaZonS assemble, in order
to choose a successor from among their
own sons. The chosen one is then pro-
claimed lawful king. The capital city of
this little State lies in one OF the most pic
turesque parts of the island, in a fruitful
plain, and is defended by two well-kcpt
tortrrSSeS NDre,,,bej. GnLuIU
