Thick and Thin Sowing of Wheat.

| Tread before Pleasant Grove Grange
No. POI by J. w. Riggs, and requested
by the Grange to be published in the
Western. independent
An article by an English farmer pre-
sents a large number of facts, obtained
by an extensive correspondence with
farmers in England who have tested
the thick and thin sowing of wheat dur
| ing series of years. The testimony is
SO strong in favor of thin sowing that it
appears wonderful that English farmers
have not adopted them generally.
The acquisitions are that the lands
shall be in the best of cultivation, the
seed of the best character, and the vari-
ety pure also that it be planted so as to
give each seed one foot spare of soil. It
appears that from experiment. IS that the
more grains the fewer the ears to each
grain per acre. BY special culture of
small spots, crop at the rate of 1OS
bushels per acre has been produced, and
another of 1872 bushels per acre: The
general Weld is stated to be at least
double by thin sowing. BY thin SOW
ing it must be understood that but one
seed was dropped in place. There is
an excellent Recommendation that every
farmer have plot of ground set apart
to secure pure seed. In this case the
seed must not only be selected, but care
! fnllv picked over by hand, rejecting all
defective or imperfect grains, and retain
ing only those which by their fulness
show their healthy, vigorous constitu-
ton. Another plan is to select the
finest heads Of the variety desired from
the fields before cutting. If farmers
will not do this for themselves, they
should purchase from those who make
speciality of raising seed grain. The
writer predicts the increased depend
ence Of England upon foreign countries
for the staff of life, if some such improv-
ed system of raising wheat is not pursu-
ed. If England is falling in this regard,
where do we stand, when our crops do
not average half as much as those of
England?
A paper written by J. J. Mechi of Tip
tree, England, says that the thick SOW
| ing of grain is great national calamity;
that more crops fail to yield well from
manure.
Leipzig, the celebrated German agri-
cultural chemist, justly says that the
greatest enemy to a wheat plant is an
other wheat plant from the very obvious
reason that both require the same food !:
small heads and kernals, and weak fab
by straw are the natural consequences of
this competition. For several years be
tried one bushel Of wheat per acre
against two bushels per acre, both drill
ed. The difference in favor of the one
bushel per acre was equal to rent of
$3.50 per acre.

SENATOR EAToN's SPEEcH.-Wea are
indebted to our townsnan Major Os-
borne for copy of the late able speech
of Senator Eaton, of Connecticut, late
ly delivered at Hartford, in favor Of n
specie currency. The Senator is an old
acquaintance of the Major, and was
once resident of Columbia, S. c.,
where he was once merchants clerk.
He has since risen to an enviable posi-
tion in the National Councils, and car
ries with him still those cherished prin-
ciples of the States RightSDemocracy
which he learned in his Carolina
home. We would be pleased to publish
the speech but its length forbids this.

A GOOD CITIZEN WRoNGED.-Judge
Cooke at the last Court Disseminated
against respectable citizen, Maj. J. l..
White, in his sentence. The negro
Austin Davis, was convicted Of assault
and battery and Maj. J. L. White of
assault only. The Judge arbitrarily
sentenced both to imprisonment for
thirty days. The negro's offence was
much greater than the white mans,
and the punishment much lass. If this
be justice, We are i'll a deplorable condi-
ton.

FUNERAL OF GENERAL PICKETT
The funeral obsequies of General George
E. Pickett took place at Richmond on the
24th ult., and the demonstration was in
deed worthy Of that gallant soldier
The entire populace Of Richmond, to.
gether with thousands of visitors from
other points, were out en- nadSSe. The
streets along which the procession were
in many cases, SO crowded with specta'
tors that the movements of the line were
greatly impeded. Many private houses
were tastefully draped in morning and
flags at different points half-masted
The remains were conveyed to Holly.
wood Cemetery, where they were inter
red with appropriate ceremonies. 1t is
estimated that not less than forty thou
sand people witnessed the procession
and that there were about five thousand
in the line.
NEW LIGHT ON TIE UsURY Law
Our State laws Oh usury have received
stroke from q decision just rendered
in the Supreme Court that will practi'
cally render them ineffective and mop.
erative in the future; for all that is now
necessary in order to remove contract
for the loan Of money from the opera
ton of these laws is to have the trans
action done through some one of the
national banks| will thus fall under
the protection u the act of Congress for
the incorporation and regulation OF
those institutions, and that act is so lib
eral on the point arrived at by our usury
laws that it scarcely opposes an imped-
iment to those transactions. One who
had borrowed money at usurious rate
failed to pay his debt and was sued, but
he defended his failure to pay by an ap-
peal to the Usury law, which declares
that such a loan shall forfeit the sum
loaned. That defence was sustained by
the Court of Appeals as in accordance
with the State law, but an action on
the same case, under the Banking law,
has just been finally determined in the
United States Supreme Court. AS
opinion is now pretty we'll determined
that all usury laws are the result of er-
roneous financial notions, there can be
J no regret at this result.-N. Y. Herald.

AN UNUSUAL NOTE FROM CHURCH
ORGAN

AN UNUSUAL NOTE FROM CHURCH
ORGAN.
A church was out in Austin, New, cor
rupted by the tendency of the times, for
sock its primitive mode of worship and had
an organ put up. The Sunday on which
the instrument was first to BE- used saw
large congregation gathered, and mild
haired young man with eyeglasses and
catarrh, who had been secured for the oc-
casion, seated himself before the, key board.
As is usual on such occasions, there was
hitch in the programme the blower was
behind time, having stopped on his way to
adjust personal difficulty, and when he
did arrive he was too much battered and
worn to furnish wind for the voluntary.
So the minister read little, and then the
choir stood up. 1t was one of those compo-
sitions, called "set piece" where the
soprano makes an assertion in solo, after
which is joined by the contralto in repeat.
ing the sentiment, she followed by the ten
or with his view Of the case, and to whom
the basso acts as sort Of an inlsrser.
Well, the organ peeped gently on the little
pipes, and the soprano sang. " Eef I had
a-wings wings like ah dove" Then
the contralto chimed in, and the ivory
manipulation pulled out stop and let on
more steam, when wild. shrill cry, like
the wall Of lost soul, Mortified the listen
ing ears Of the audience Fear brooded
over the choir, and they glanced with awe
toward the organ, all except the tenor, who
had cast in his eye. With trembling
voices the burden Of the song was taken up,
and the tenor took deep breath where
with to tackle high note lie was to begin
on. The time came and the organist
grasped handful Of stops and bore down
on the pedals. The note came, and with it
a shrek at utter discord with the singers
voice. But the organist was interested, and
did not heed the frightened looks of the
congregation, SO he turned on fresh sup
ply of pipes, and the basso thundered out
"Eef had wings" Just then the player
kicked all the pedals into motion and
jammed down the swell. Then came rat
tie and hoarse cry, the blower fled from
his post, the choir abandoned their desire
fer wings and used their feet as yellow
gentleman cat, with tail erect and blazing
eyes, leaped from the swell box and lit in
the deacon's pew. Then the audience
went out, and 50 did the cat through a
window.
