A Central Iowa correspondent asks II
it will pay him TO raise broom-corn, and
how TO do it; and we answer: Whether
twill pay you we cannot tell; but, IL you
have good, rich land, such as will pro
duce fifty bushels of Indian corn per
acre, you need have no difficulty In rails
ing good broom corn.
The cultivation Of broom-corn requires
the expenditure of considerable labor:
the seed is often slow in terminating,
and, If the land Is weedy, considerable
trouble is experienced In clearing the
crop.
The seed is sown In various ways
sometimes by removing all the hoes OF a
wheatdrili except those that will bring
the rows about three feet four inches
apart: sometimes the seed IL sown with
one of the large Albany garden-drills; ;
and sometimes with corn-planter. The
latter plan, however, leaves the rows too
far apart, unless the planter Is made es-
peeially for the purpose. However sown,
IL Is necessary that the rows be perfectly
straight, and at equal distance apart
Drill plenty of seed, and thin TO one or
two inches in the drill. The richer the
land and the thicker the stand, the finer
the brush.
As soon as you can see the young
plants, go over with sharp harrow, with
teeth enough raised up so that the corn
will not he injured. We have known
land to he entirely free from trash com.
pletely narrowed before the seed ger
minated, TO free it from weeds just
started. scrape the drills with sharp
iron, thinning the plants TO the required
stand. Then cultivate with common
walking cultivator, having narrow bull
tongue teeth in front, as directed some
time since for corn. Work industriously
while the corn is young, and until the
crop is three feet high, or until IL begins
to show signs Of running TO head. Alter
this time cultivation tends to make the
brush coarse.
When the seed is in the milk and before
1t hardens is the proper time for cutting,
for then the brush il tough and has the
best color Every day IL is kept after
this Injuries the produce.
To prepare for cutting II must be
tabled, that is, bent over and crossed, SO
that it win form tables about knee-high
for holding the brush. This being done,
with a keen, thin knife cut the brush,
leaving stalk attached six or seven
inches in length, and lay them evenly on

the table for day to dry--the seed-ends
all one way.
When the brush has had the sun one
day haul to the machine, scrape the seed
of and carry to the shed, arranged with
sca'foldings of poles for drying, spread
ing it almost two inches thick When
thoroughly dry and properly cured it is
ready Tor baling and market.
Ii you have had no experience in the
cultivation of this crop the probability is
you will fail. Those who make the most
money from this crop raise large fields.
The cultivation requires considerable
help, and that just at the right time; a
machine for scraping the seed, sheds for
dying the brush and press for baling.
A knowledge also is required of the
proper time to handle the crop, and
other technical knowledge, which if you
do not possess you had better hire some
one who does before undertaking its
culture" Farm and Garden" in Chicago

SILENCE.

We are but little islands in the Silence

sea;
But drop plant, song or deed-then see how

The silences again above it drift,
And cover, smooth as ever, Has Been and
Shall Be-
Or listthat strange sea tapping in the dark!
Then loud the subtle currents pulse, and
near;
When in the night, inclosed as shut box,
Sleepless we lie and long to pick the locks,
BY some new, nameless sense the soul can
hear
And at the last Silence submerges all;
The Hottest head, the proudest work, swept
DER
By its high tide, sink down and disappear
Yet drifting, foreign wood and weeds do
Cur souls with certain signs OF some rich
shore.
Then why should we SO question Silence,
fear
Its dumb ways and dread its deeps to dare
Have we, Columbus-like, no yearnings grand
To be borne on and find that untried Land ?
Silence, we trust thee; only bear us therel

A Convict Prison in Tasmania.

A correspondent with the transit of
Venus expedition writes from Hobart
Town, Tasmania, TO the New York
Tribune:
"The ship has just returned from a
beautiful harbor forty miles from Hobart
Town, where the convict station Is stu
ated. No convicts have been sent to
Tasmania from the mother country for
twelve or fourteen years, and there are
only about 200 at Port Arthur now, who
were sentenced for life or long terms of
years. 1t Is the custom for the members
OF the Ministry TO 60 TO Port Arthur
once year, inspect the prisons, and
listen to such Of the prisoners as wish to
appeal to them or have any grievances, or
petition for a remission of sentence.
The buildings are substantially con.
structed, with room enough for 1000
prisoners, and several hundred acres OF
land reserved tor prison purposes.

trees and with q porch on three sides,

some chapel with surrounding grounds

one side of the chapel is nearly covered
with English ivy creeping To the very
roof, and reminding one OF home. In
fact, the whole establishment IL kept in
perfect order; but the number OF prison
era is yearly growing less so in few
years the convicts Of Tasmania will
have entirely disappeared, and the
prisons that held them gradually sink in
ruins. The model prison, where refrac-
tory prisoners are kept, appears iinger-
ing death. For weeks and months the in
mates see nobody, hear nobody, save the
chaplain on Sundays. Food IL passed In
through small trap-door, and when they
are marshaled into chapel tight mask Ia

themselves that these men are hooded ~
just over the trap, and when the prison
ers reach the chapel they go into boxes
opening toward the reading desk, and are
shut In one by one, not being able To see
either the right or left neighbor. When
all are in, an unseen keeper gives tho
order TO unmask and the service IL read.

whether malice toward mankind and

Stanton, there was no measure of de-
