1.-THE old-fashioned way" of harvest
ing corn was to cut the stalks as soon
as the corn was glazed, leaving the butts
to stand until the corn was ripe and
ready to harvest. Some farmers still
adhere to this practice, but the major
ity have abandoned it for what seems
to us the far preferable way of cutting
up the entire growth Of corn as soon as
the kernels are well glazed. The saw
ing by this method is both in labor and
fodder.
It is much easier to cut up the stalks
when they are green and soft than after
they are dry and hard, and a man cancut
probably and shock the whole growth as
easily as he can cut the tops one by one
and carry them together and out of the
field to be cured
If the entire stalks are cut up as soon
as the corn is glazed, nearly all Of the
leaves will remain unhurt by the frost,
and the stalks, instead of ripening into
woody hbres which no beast viii eat,
viii cure and remain sweet and edible.
When corn is once shocked the farmer
may gather and husk it at his leisure !;
the stalks are all cured when he takes
them to his barn and will neither mould
nor rot.
Standing corn wastes badly after the
husks begin to loosen about the ears and
is broken down and eaten by squirrels
and birds. When the tops are cut, the
butts which remain standing till late in
the fall are entirely worthless for fod-
der. For these reasons we advise our
farmer friends to cut and shock their
corn.
We know it is claimed by some that
the corn ripens better when exposed to
the sun and is heavier than when rip
ened IN shocks, but this is very doubt
full, and even if it be admitted that we
getone or two per cent. less corn than
we should to let the ears stand, this Is
hardly worthy of consideration in view
of the far greater loss we sustain on
the fodder. AS TO the shiftless policy
of letting the corn stand tops and all
until huslzing time, it is one which no
farmer who isn't ambitious to end his
days in the poorhouse can afford. In
this state the fodder to be obtained
from the corn field is nearly as impor-
tant as the "shelled corn, and any
course which does not save both is fool
ish and disastrous. Exchange.

More News of Foreign Harvest
Failures.
rrrom the New York Bulletin. ]

LAAbAA AiAe NtW AoHA 4oulioLlnsl
The news of crop failures in tho Old
World,grows worse and worse. In adj
dition to the failure of the wheat
harvest in South Germany and Hunga-
ry, published in the Bulletin few DAYS
ago, we now have information from
Turkey. The government of that coun-
try, owing to short crops, has found it
necessary to issue decree prohibiting
the expectation of corn until further
orders. This closes the ports of ANA
STA (Natolia) to the italian people, whose
grain crops are also deficient, and who
expected to receive supplies from the
Turkish provinces.
And now the London Times publishes
letter from another eminent grain
statician, J. B. Lawes, proving by facts
and figures that the grain yield in Eng
land is less than was supposed and that
the country viii require no less than
5000, 600 quarters (104, OO0, 900 bush
els) of foreign breadstuffs during the
present year. This is about sixteen
million bushels more than the highest
estimated deficiency. This new esti-
mate is important as showing that the
unfavorable accounts of the English
harvest have been in no respect exag-
gerated, and that the prospects are, if
anything, worse than were represented.
Taken altogether, the outlook in Eu-
rope is very gloomy, so far as relates to
food supplies for the year. The wheat
harvest has been deficient in almost
every country, and although there may
not be a downright famine in any. vet
scarcity and high prices are likely TO be
the rule. Some of the richest wheat
producing districts have not raised suf.
fieient to meet home demands, and will
be compelled to compete with the usual
grain importing countries for any sur
plus that may be in the markets of the
world. The effects of this condition of
affairs ON general business are likely to
be unfavorable as cheap bread has so
far in the worlds history, been the in
variable accompaniment Of prosperity.

The Dome of the Capitol.


The dome of the capitol at Washing
ton is the most ambitious structure in
America. It is 108 feet higher than
the Washington monument IN Balti-
more, So feet higher than Bunker hill
monument, and % feet higher than the
Trinity church tower in New York. It
is the only considerable dome of iron in
the world. It is vast hollow sphere
OF iron. weighing S,OOO,O0 pounds.
How much is that? About 4, 900 tons, or
aweight of about 10000 full grown per-
sons, or, about equal to a Thousand
loaded coal cars, which, holding four
tons each, would reach two miles and
half.
Directly over your head is a figure in
bronze, America" weighing 1896
pounds. The pressure of the iron dome
upon its piers and pillars, is IL, AT
pounds to the square foot. St. Peter
presses nearly 10000 pounds more to
the square foot, and st. Genevieve, at
Paris, $4,000 pounds more. It would
require, to crush the supporters of our
dome, a pressure of 1870 pounds to
the square foot. The cost was about
81, 900, 900. The new wings cost &c.
500, 200. The architect has a plan for
rebuilding the old central part of the
capitol and enlarging the park, which
viii cost about S3, 200, Exchange.

The Evil of Inaction.


A person may cause evil to others,
not only by his actions, bat by his
inaction, and, in either case he is Justly
accountable to them for the injury.
TheIatter case, It'll true, requires a much
more cautious exercise of compulsion
than the former. To make any one
answerable for doing evil to others is
the rule; to make him answerabIe for
not preventing evil is, comparatively
speaking, the exception Yet there are
many cases clear enough and grave
enough to justify that exception. In
all things which regard the external re-
lations of the individual, he is de .5ure
amendable to those whose interests are
concerned, and, if need to be, society
as their protector. There are often
good reasons for not holding him to the
responsibility but these reasons must
arise from the special expediences of the
case; either because it is a kind of case
in which he is, on the whole, likely to
act better, when left to his own discre-
ton, than when controlled in any way
in which society have it in theirpower to
control him or because the attempt to
exercise control would produce other
evils, greater than those which it would
prevent. When such reasons as these
preclude the enforcementof responsible
ity, the conscience of the agent himself
should step into the vacant Judgement
seat, and protect those interests of
others which have no external protec-
ton Judging himself all the more. rig
idly, because the case does not admit
of his being made accountable to the
judgement of his fellow-creatures.-
