GOVERNOR KEMPER AND PRESI-
DENT GRANT.

Governor Kemper, of Virginia, be
ing in Washington on business, made
call of courtesy upon President
Grant, on the 18th inst, remaining At
the Executive Mansion not more than
fifteen or twenty minutes. 1t was
some time ago stated that Colonel
Mosby had pre.arranged an interview
between these gentle men, but the
Governor says there is no truth in
the report, and that he called merely
to pay his respects to the Chief Nag
lstrate, the same as any other citizen
OF the United States, aud with no
political object i'll view. The Cover
nor recently, in conversation with
friends who called upon him, at VII.
Jard's Hotel, spoke OF the pleasure
the visit afforded him the President
receiving him in spirit OF marked
.trlendliness and courtesy; and III the
course OF the conversation, expressed
his views deliberately, as if weighing
we'll his words, which left u favorable
impression on the Governor. AS the
Interview Was private, the subject of
conversation cannot be explicitly
stated, but can OIL be inferred by the
Governors own free uttcranccs to-
night, that he and his political friends
in Virginia stand on 4 broad couscrv-
ative platform, which, he says, gives
all the States co-equal rights rs mem
;bers of the Union, that they may
discharge all their duties, anI restore
perfect peace and reconciliation to all
parts Of the country. They will sup
port every body that SUPPORTS that
platform, which the Govern or framed.
and which was endorsed by the peo-
pie Of Virginia; and they will oppose.
he further says, everybody who op-
poses the conservative and harm.

FLOWERS FOR THE S1cK.-Last
summer, young girl in Boston
organized plan for distributing
little bouquets of flowers to tile
inmates of hospitals, work-rcoms
and jails, as we'll as to the sick and
needy elsewhere. The flowers are
received in the chapel of Hollis
Street Church, every Monday and
Thursday morning, from all who
are interested enough to send them.
They are speedily arranged and
d stributed by swift foot carriers.
Bethany Sunday-school, of Phil
adelphia, carries oat the same idea
among its own sick members. Sick
pupils or teachers are reported eve
ry Sunday, and to each a pretty
boauet is sent at the sessions close.
An exchange, alluding to the work
in Boston, says:
Pale, sick faces light up joyously
as the bright messengers bring to
them fragrant blossoms. Even the
inmates Of the gloomy Jail look as
if there was yet hope aud happiness
in store for them, as they see a
huge basket brimming over with
sweetness, entering their dark do
main. Blessed flowers! what a
mission they may accomplish!

FERTILIZERS
White Bros,
THE SOLE AGENTS

HI2OR the sale Of the above we'll
IL known and highly valuable Fer
tlliZers have now on hands full supply
and will be glad to furnish such of their
customers rs intend using them next
year. Every one remembers how diff
cult it was to yet Gnanos last Spring.
Many farmers lost several days of val
uablc time in coming to town with their
teams. and not Il few, after several incf-
fpctual trips, failed at last in securing
Fertilizers. To obviate any further
trouble of this kind, and to enable PLAN
tcrs 80 take their Fertilizers home when
they are mark citing their Cotton, an
early supply has been ordered. No one
can fail to see the advantage to be deriv-
ed by the saving of time in the Spring,
when every moment is valuable to the
farmer. The standard Of the Etiwan
Guanos remains the same it has always
been. No Fertilizers manufactured in
this country have i higher standing, or
are more generally used. If the acreage
in Cotton is to be reduced another year,
Iand all will admit that there is too
much Cotton planted) the greater will
be the need for Fertilizers. Plant less,
bnt enrich your lands more, is the true
Nrlcy.
The Etiwan Dissolved Bone
for composing with cot
,0n seed and stable manure is cOnlncnu-
.d with great confidence to the farmer.
It has given universal satisfaction, and
LII who have used it want it again.
Send in your orders early. The terms

'hase should be delayed until Spring.
Money is made by saving valuable time.

Should MIX or Cream be Churned !

The New York Observer reports an ex-
pertinent from which it appears that about
800 pounds of milk make twenty-five
pounds of butter or sixteen to one. The
milk was sour and thick. 1t was thought
that the quality of the butter would have
been somewhat better if the milk had only
just begun to turn. AS to velocity in
churning, it was said there should be from
forty to sixty strokes Of the dasher in a
minute. Some say that the motion should
be continuous others, that the cream Tor
milk should have intervals Of rest, and the
air should occasionally be introduced. It
has been discovered by the microscope that
butter exists in the milk inclosed in thin
sacks of albumen, and these sacks are to
be thoroughly broken to make good but
ter. They are sometimes seen mixed with
butter, being only torn in two, The effect
of souring is injurious. The great objeo-
tion Of churning milk is the great amount
Of power required.

A Remarkable Yield Of Corn in Maryland.

n
Mr.. A. Vanderford, one of the editors of
the Democratic Advocate, Westminster,
Md, furnishes the Agricultural Depart
ment a statement of remarkable yield of
corn, published in recent number of his
journal. The crop, said to be the largest
ever produced in that county, was grown
by Mr.. John w. Murry, of Hampstead dis
trict Carroll County, from whose letter
the following extract is made:
The land is low and is overflOwed by the
washings from the turnpike and from my
barn-yard, and was in grass for fifteen
years prior to the Spring of 1872 then
plowed and planted in corn, and yielded
26t barrels per acre. This was the same
piece of ground that used last year. The
stubble was left until 1 had planted the
rest of my corn. On May 16, 1878, plow-
cd the ground very deep, narrowed it the
same day, and rolled it ON the 18th. SOW
ed 800 pounds fine bone and narrowed it
again the same day. 1 marked it off, 80
inches one way, and sowed 200 pounds
INuOueS bup6I-puOSpudlo III GhO lOMsJ anu
dropped the corn 10 inches apart, one and
two grains in hill On the 4th of June it
was badly missing; dragged the ground
and replanted : 10th Of June plowed again,
still some missing 18th of June plowed
and hoed, and plastered the weak spots /;
3Oth of June dragged, plowed, and thinned ;
4th of July hilled with potato-plow as
deep as one horse could pull, and kept
thinning as I thought required until shoot
ing-time. The variety of corn was the
Chester County mammoth yellow, ofwhich
send you sample.
In regard to the yield, the ground was
surveyed by practical, sworn surveyor,
cut off by two sworn men, and measured by
sworn man, in the presence of many, and
measured 29-9-10 barrels, y and the same
measure at the cattle-scales in Baltimore
made 904 barrels, for which hold receipt.
am not a one-acre farmer, but cultivate
forty acres, with myself and three boys, or
perhaps could have given the one acre
more attention and had a larger yield,
which believe could have been made.
"A Maryland barrel is five bushels.
