OUR TRIP TO CLARKSBURG.

On Sunday evening, the 2Srd ult., the
Hon. j. j. Miller, eX-member OF the
Legislature, and ourself, i'll custody OF
Major Towner Schlev, United States
Deputy Marshal, for this State, started
for Clarksburg, Harrison County, to at
tend the United States District Court,
his Honor, Judge John J. Jackson, pre-
siding, as Jurymen. We took passage
on the o'clock Express Train, at Mar
tinsburg. and after pleasant ride, over
the ''hills and mountains we arrived
at Clarksburg OIL Monday morning
about 10 o'clock, and anchored at the
Walker House, one Of the best Hotels
in the State, and whilst our s"Journ
there we Jared sumptuously every day
Clarksburg has population OF over
three thousand inhabitants, and some OF
the best and most prominent men OF the
State reside there. The town, although
one of the Oldest in the State,h plea
SAINT and inviting appearance, containing
some large aud imposing dwellings and
business houses. The hills surrounding
the town are romantic and afford beau
tiful scenery. These hills abound with
bituminous coal and iron ore in profu-
sion, and afford q large income 10 the To-
cal trade. The land is also of an excel
lent quality for grazing and the growth
of cereal grain. The finest cattle upon
Thousand hill-tops are raised there
and forwarded to the eastern markets.
We were also flvorably impressed by
the non-appearance OF drinking saloons,
where "etcrnal destruction" is dealt out
at ten cents per drink. Nothing OF this
kind could be seen. The Drug Stores,
however, keep the 'ardent, and deal 1t
out for medicinal purposes, and Judging
from appearances there were quite
number of persons Oh the sick list.
We had the pleasure of forming many
pleasant acquaintances, among whom
we mention Gen. Nathan Golf, ST., one
of the most prominent citizens Hon

press Gen. Northcott, editor OF the

as well as many other prominent gen

The session of this Court drew large

when to Sell Wheat.

A Wisconsin farmer, who evident
" believes in figures, has sent the
Western Farmer a statement con
corning his sales of wheat the past
eight years. from which it appears
that commencing with 1865 his
wheat has averaged him a fraction
over 81 20 per bushel; the sales
made from September to January
averaged 81 % 5-7ths per bushel :;
while the sales made from January
1 to July 81. averaged 81 36I per
bushel-a difference of IA cents per
bushel in favor of holding wheat,
provided the shrinllage and waste
does not eat up that amount. 1t
would be interesting to know the
average cost per bushel of producing
and marketing that wheat for eight
years.

Drilling Cora.

At the Michigan Agricultural Col
lege, in 1868, two plots of land were
set apart, substantially equal in
character of soil, each measuring
forty-eight rods in width. The
ground was pIowed May 5, and ma
nure was spread evenly and worked
in by q cultivator and harrow. Vel
low Dent corn was planted May 81.
in rows four feet apart; one OF the
plots being planted in hills, the ether
in drills. The plots were cultivated
and hoed Jnne 10, and July Z, the
plants being thinned So as to leave
the same number Of stalks on each
plot, including the equal distribution
of plants throughout the subdivision
of the plots. AS near as possible,
each Of the two plots received the
same amount Of labor and cultiva-
ton. The stalks were cut at the
bottom September II. and stacked
in good order; three weeks after
ward the corn was husked and weigh
ed. The stalks then again carefully
stacked, and were hauled and weigh
ed, in good condition, October II.
The corn on the portion planted in
hills was better in quality than on
that planted in drills. But the drill
ed portion produced "A 10 bushels
shelled corn, and three tons of stalks
to the acre, against 65t bushels Of
shelled corn, and 3 tons of stalks
per acre produced by the portion in
hills.

narrowing In Corn.

A Virginian writes to the Rural
Messenger the advantage he finds in
narrowing corn in preference to hoe
covering or covering with the pillow.
He says it effectually destroys the
young grass and weeds just putting
up between the rows. 1t puts the
land in good condition by breaking
the clods ard pulverizing the entire
surface. The young corn, coming
up on a level instead of on the fur
rows, is not SO liable to injury from
heavy rains. The corn can be pillow
ed at an earlier stage of its growth
without being covered up. and also
can be plowed much closer. It is
the practice of some to harrow just
before or about the time the corn
comes up, and while have followed
that to some extent myself with
good results, yet I have adopted the
plan Of putting in with harrow fer
the following reasons: 1t saved
the work of covering the corn by
other processes, and it renders the
narrowing certainty-as it often
happens that when the narrowing is
deferred until after the planting.
heavy rains or a press of other mat
ter, causes it to be indefinitely post
poned."
A correspondent gives the follow
ing description of how he harrows
his corn:
commence just as soon as the
corn comes up and continue as need
ed, to keep the soil loose and weeds
ont of sight, until it is so tall the
harrow will break it off if used.-
There is nothing 50 needful to Sc
cure crop Of corn, with our short sea
sons, as frequent STRINGS Of the soil
when it is in its first stages Of growth, |
and no tool will do this so cheapIy |
or so thoroughly in the hill as the |
rightly constructed harrow. 1 har-
row back and forth till ! have my
land as / desire. If the corn is
rowed both ways Of the field. the |
second narrowing should cross the
first, the third the second. and so on.

cure Dogs OF killing Sheep.

IF you have a good dog that kills
OF runs sheep and don't want to
shoot him. build a pen sixteen feet
square, and run a pole across the
top, and then pick the largest and
oldest buck Of the flock, put him in
the pen, get your dog with a collar
around his neck. and rope to draw
up over the middle of the pole. SO
that the dog will have his fore feet
swinging off of the ground few
inches. Get out of the pen, and
let the buck give him several good
butts, and then turn him loose
This is sure cure. l tried it on
my fathers dogs when I was boy
never knew them to even cross a
field where the sheep were grazing.

Germ and torn C0b Neal.

In 1875 Oliver Evans, of Philadel-
phia, invented and set in operation
the first mill in this country that
was able to grind corn cobs perfect
ly with the grain for feeding horses
and other stock. The same mill
was used for grinding plaster Of
paris imported in the rock. 4 far
mer who had tried this new feed
thus reports: The powder of corn
cobs does not act entirely by dis
tention, it also contains much nutri-
ment, and 1 have heard of q poor
woman in Maryland who prepared.
during the winter. a very grateful
daily mess for her cow by boiling
the bruised cobs with which she was
furnished by a wealthy neighbor.
With this liquor she mixed what
other vegetable matters she could.
In this way she winte.ed her COW
well till grass come" Mules often
eat cobs when corn is fed liz the
ear, and many farmers feed their
cows on corn and cob meal-a kind
Of feed that we have improved by
mixing oat meal in equal parts with
it. Grinding improves al feed for
working stock as much as it does
for man. In Scotland pillow horses
are fed well-baked oat. meal bread.
For unknown ages our forefathers
lived mainly on cereal seeds with.
out grinding or cooking. In a few
generations more, cows and horses
will live better than kings and priests
