Whole Corn for Fattening.


A Rhode Island correspondent Of the
Boston Journal says that the reason
Rhode Island turkeys are worth three
cents per pound more in market than
n others is because these turkeys are
fattened, especially in the south part of
that state, on hard Indian corr instead
of meal, barley, oats or other kinds of
food. and because they are picked with
ont being scaldcd in hot water, and
their inwards removed Immediately
There is almost as much difference in
the bird prcpare1 in this way and one
that is fed otherwise and dipped into
hot water Ito save two minutes labor in
pickipg). and then left TO swelter n week
with its inwards undrawn, rs is the case
with most that are brought to the New
| York, Phi adelphia and other markets,
rs there is between n wOodcOck and a
crow.
So, too, if n hog be fed solely on hard
corn and water, its meat will be as far
superior TO that fattcd on meal or other
soft food as real pure Orange county is
TO distillery or swill milk. Why are
Cincinnati hams so celebrated ? Is
their superiority owing to the method
of curing them solely? BY no means,
bnt more to the quality of the flesh,
which is made entirely from the juices
of sweet, hard wild nuts and u%nground
Indian corn.
Take n turkey that has a free, wild
range where g]rasshoppers are plenty
in their season feed it we'll with Indian
corn and sweet apples only If the lat.
Ter are handy until December shut it
away from food for twenty-four hours,
then handling the sacred thing tender

SOu as Manure.

George Geddes, in the Country Gen
theman, writes AS Il manure, the
value of an old sod will be somewhat
understood when we consider the result
obtained by Prof. kedzie, Of the Mich
igan Agricultural College ut Lansing.
He took II square foot of June grass
turf and washed away all the soil i'll
running water, and then weighed the
roots and surface grass, to determine
the amount of green manural matter
usually contained in a heavy green
sward, aud found it to he five pounds
to the square foot, or at the rate of
more than one hundred tons to the acre.
This wa from a very heavy mat OF June
grass, and the professor says, in II let
ter to me, in regard to this matter,
This is doubtless in excess of ordl-
nary June grass :" but he says he
thinks that few farmers estimate cor
rectly The amount OF vegetable matter
they add to their soil by blowing under
h ayy g~reensward."

The New JERSEY DEMOCRATS. The N.
Y. Sun says Saturday afternoon there was
gathering Of leading Democrats Of the State
ia Jersey City, who held a private caucus
with view of fnrthering the interests it is
said, of Hon. John II. Mcpherson for Cover
nor. The contest promises to be sharp, the
fight evidently being between Essex and
Hudson counties. The following named
gentlemen are mentioned as candidates !:
Judge Bedle of Hudson, J. Dagget Hunt of
Union, Mayor Perry of Newark, Attorney
Gilchrist of Hudson, Charles Haight of Mon
mouth. John X. MCPHERSON of Hudson, ex-
Mayor Ferry of Orange ex-Gov. Randolph,
Gen. Mott Of Burlington, and cx-State Treas
urer Mcyficael. From the feelings mani
tested it was apparent that the fight would be
warm between Judge Bedle and Mayor Perry
Of Newark so THAT neither would carry the
nomination, in which case third party would
have to be put forward, the favoritc to be
Senator Mcpherson. Some favored the Hon.
]. Daggett Hunt, claiming that he was
strong among the Young Democracy, and
one Of the main workers for the Free Railroad
law 1t was decided to call apriyatc meeting
again at Elizabeth on the 10th of june.

Dizziness in business affairs is not by any
means coniued to tliis country. In all the
European countries commerce and manufac-
lures are greatly depressed, and times are
quite as hard y as they are here. There
appears to be general reaction after the ex-
ccssive activity and prosperity of the last ten
years. during which people have become ac-
customed to q state Of things which could not
last always. The best way out of the trouble
for us Is to take in sail, and try to restore the
financial health of the country by economy
and honesty. The empirical plan proposed
by Congress to pay everybody's debts and
make the whole people busy and prosperous
by watering the currency will not WORK. 1t
would only be fresh debauch for nation
that has been already oyer-stimulatcd.

Mr.. Jethro Yard, who died at Trenton last
week, was somewhat eccentric character and
a philosopher withal. He has regularly visit
ed the Post Office at certain hour every day
for the past seventeen years and seat was
always reserved for his use He never went
abroad without an umbrella, however fine the
weather nigh seem. On going by the City
Hall, it was his invariabls rule to compare bis
watch with the town clock. and minutely to
note the slightest deviation. His memory of
local affairs was wonderful.

WHAT HE CALLED a JoKE.--A correspon-
dent in Montgomery county, Va, writes that
"a serious accident" occurred there Friday
evening. Mr.. Thomas Wilson, formerly pro-
prietor Of the White Sulphur Springs, loaded
a cigar with what he thought a small charge
of powder, and handed it to MIS-. r. Carr
with instructions to give it to an idiot negro
with the view of having some fun at his ex-
pense. Mr.. ]. o. Long playfully snatched
the cigar from Mr.. Carr and lighted it, when
it instantly exploded, tearing out three of his
teeth, terribly mutilating his mouth, and put
ting out the right eye of Mr.. Carr, who was
standing in front of him.
