Corn Planting and Growing.

A correspondent Of the Farmers
Union offers a few words on the sub.
ject Of corn planting and growing,
and as the time is at hand for far
mers to lay out their plans for the
forthcoming corr crop, we transfer
his ideas to our columns, He says :
In raising corn the crop should
be put in the ground not only for
his own profit, but also with a view
to future crops that the farmer may
desire to raise afterward. l would
recommend to lay off the ground
for planting at least four feet and a
half the north or south way, so that
the sun may have q fair chance,
which is the best Moderator that
can possibly be found, when the
conditions are right for its congo
NAL influence. The east and west
way / would lay out about two and
a half or three feet, and let remain
in the hill two stalks only. I would
recommend that planting should
be done earlier in the season, by
about eight or ten days, than the
majority of farmers are in the habit
of doing in this vicinity. I have
noticed that as a general thing ear
" planting has produced the best
results by far.
Before planting be sure that your
seed is good, for If it is not, you
will be likely not only to lose your
crop, but your ground will be neg
lected and your future crop will be
affected by the neglect.
1t is a certain fact that working
land and exposing il to the elements
produces what I call q chemical &C.

Rules for the Care Of Sheep.

Wecopy the following suggestions
about sheep from a circular iSsuet
by Mr.. f. c. D. Mckay, the Genera
Agent of the American Emigran'
Company. The Company have al.
ready ten thousand sheep scattered
among the farmers who purchased
land Of them, in hocks ranging II
size from fifty to two hundred head
l, Keep sheep dry under foot
with litter. This is even more nee.
essary than roofing them, Never
let them stand or lie in mud OF
snow.
2, Take up lamb bucks early il
the summer, and keep them up TN
til December Isl following, when
they may be turned out,
3, Drop or take out the lowest
bars as the sheep enter or leave 8
yard, thus saving broken limbs,
4. Count every day.
5. Begin granting with the great
est care, and use the smallest guam
tity at first.
+. II a eve loses her lamb, milk
her daily for a few days, and mix a
little alum with her salt.
7. Let no hogs eat with the sheep
by any means, in the spring.
s, Give the lambs a little milk
feed in time of weaving.
9. Never brighten sheep if posi-
BE to avoid it.
10. Sow rye for weak ones in cold
weather, if you can,
II. Separate all weak or thin or
sick from the strong, in the fall, and
give them special care.
II. If any sheep is hurt, catch it
at once and wash the wound and
if it is fly time, apply spirits of tur-
pentine daily, and always wash with
something healing. If a limb is
broken, bind it with splinters tight
ly, loosening as the limb swells.
ID. Keep a number of good bells
on the sheep.
IA. Do not let the sheep spoil
wool with chaff OF burs.
10, Cut tag-locks in early spring,
Ii. For scours, give pulyerized
alum in wheat bran /; prevent by
great care in changing dry
green feed.
II. If one is lame, examine the
DOT, clean ont between the hoof,
pare the hoofif unsound, and apply
.obacco with blue y%itriol, boiled in
| little water.
Is. Shear at once any sheep com
nencing to shed its wool, unless
he weather is too severe, and save
.arefully the pelt Of any sheep that
10. Have at least some good work

Some Shaking. Z"

Tom is a queer genius, and let's of
some tall ones occasionally. He Wis
tied US the other day in our sane
tum with "hOw do you do, old fel
lowP"
"Hello, Tom, " said we, "whert
have you been to so long,"
why sir, I've been down or
Severn river, in Anne Arundel coun.
try, taking Shanghai notes on the
chills and fever"
"Ah indeed, said we care they
very bad down there?"
Rather bad, said Tom, dryly.
There is one place where they
have been attempting to build a
brick house for eight weeks-well,
the other day as the hands we're put
ting up the bricks preparatory to fin
ishing it, they were taken with a chill
and shook the whole building COM
pletely down, and kept on shaking
till the bricks were dust of the finest
quality. Just at that juncture, the
ohills came on with renewed force,
and they commenced shaking with
such gusto, that they we're entirely
obscured for hours, and the people
of the neighborhood thought the sun
was in an eclipse.
"Gas!" said we.
"Not at all, said Tom.
"Why, I was sixteen miles down
the river the other day, and saw
four men carrying a big pine log
from on board a schooner to the
shore. The chills came on, and
they shook the log, which was thir-
ty feet long, all up into pieces of
the proper length for frewood, and
then taking q reshake of it, spin
it up, at the same time shaking all
the knots out of it.
Cant believe anything like that,
"Its a fact, said Tom, and he
there's a farmer down
there who, in an applepicking sea-
son, hauls his niggers out to the Or
and sets one Yp against each
tree. In a short time the chill
comes on, and every apple in the
orchrad is shaken off the trees on the
ground.
Incredible, said we, holding
our sides with our hands.
"Fact said Tom, "they keep a
nan alongside of each negro to
AXE him away as soon as the fruit
S off, for fear that he will shake the
rec down."
Tom continued {: "Mr. S-a
|. friend of mine, and a h~ouse-car-
was engaged q few days ago
n covering the roof of a house with
Ihlngles. just as he was finishing,
he chill came on and he shook
very shingle off the roof. Some Of
hem are supposed to be flying
bout yeti!
Another gentleman near the
anne place, was taken with a chill
he other day at dinner, and shook
is knife and fork down his throat,
breaking all the crockery-
rare on the table. His little son,
Tho was sitting on the table at the
anne time, was taken with a chill and
hook all the buttons off his inexpres-
Ibles, and then shook himself clear
{ them"
We then prevailed upon Tom to
esist, who did 80 with the under
landing he was to give us the 9TH
at some other time.
Persons who think of emigrating to
.nne Arundel county will please
Ike notice.

A. G. F., Rockford, Ill.-There are
many remedies for the cholera, and
several have been'published in theIl-

a preventive to this disease, we note
that several extensive hog growers
in Henry County, Illinois, say that
feeding steamed feed is a perfect

that no one there this season who
steamed feed has lost a hog by the
cholera. We would advise you to

TEE POSTAL TELEGRAPH BILL.-Ths postal
telegraph bill reported to Congress is one of
the most iniqnitous measures yet brought to
the public gaze, and one which BODIES no good
TO the country. Its gotten up in the interest
Of the government and not for the benefit Of
the people 1t will add, If passed, to the army
of ofiicehOiders already stationed over the coun-
try BY the provisions Of the bill the Office
Of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General is to
be created who ia to have control of all teIe-
graphic lines-ihese lines to be purchased from
the various companies at fixed prices. By this
nice little arrangement the government would
have control Of the entire correspondence Of
the country that passes over the wires. This
IS placing great interests in the keeping of a
set OF nDPrincipled men, the abuse Of which
might produce disastrous results to the pri-
waite fortunes OfindividuaIs. Il is no security
to say that these persons will act under oath
the obligations Of an oath are but lightly re-
garded By many government officehoIders-
that fact IS patent TO all observers, or there
would not be SO much stealing. II is system
Of espionage to which the people will not pa
tientIy submit. aud We hope there will be wis
dom and honesty enough in Congress to defeat
the measure.
