A New wnv with seed Corn.

A correspondent writes: Now is the
time for farmers to gather seed corn.
They should go through the fields and
select the best ears, taking the upper
ear on stalks with two or more of the
same. Enough shuck should be left to
tie two or more together. They should
then be conveyed to the s1noke-house
and hung up, smoked with the meat, and
left until planting time. Corn treated
in this way will never fail, and will be
more vigorous and grow faster than that
selected from the crib. We have no.
ticed that when we have run short, and
have been compelled to resort to the
crib to finish oat field, that the
smoked corn could be distinguished by
rows from the other. It grew more
rapidly, was more hardy, and darker in
color. What is the philosophy of this
treatment, we are not able to say. But
all farmers will find it to their advan-
tage to try it. We have tried it fer ten
years and find it pays.

The English Walnut Season.


It IS now the walnut season. We, Gin
America, who only eat dry nuts, cannot
imagine how delicious are the almonds,
tilberts, and English walnuts, when
they are fresh and green; and why we
do not have them is marvel to me, for
I believe all of them will grow in the
country But the difference between
them fresh and dried is the difference
of two fruits. From now until about
Christmas the walnuts are in their glory.
and the consumption of them is immense
at the table of the aristocrat in his
castle, where many an hour is passed
over them and wine at the end of the
dinner, as we read in English novels,
when relenting uncle begins to I'M
bosom himself himself to his scapegrace
nephew, in the cosy restaurants of
clubs and hotels, in the modest lodS-
ings of the bachelor, in the cottage of
the peasant, and in the crowded city
where they are cracked and muched by
the laborer at the street corners. You
see them by the basketful everywhere
around, sold at the price of three to
five for cent, and at Convent Garden
market in the morning. 1T is curious
sight to watch the men and women &C.
cupied in taking them out of their green
shells, as they stand before the baskets
ranged in circle, with their fingers
black as ink from the work.

that IL costs $40 to winter a good, able
bodied rat--about as much as it does to
fatten hog. At this season of the year
they are, like men, always hungry, and
will eat food that in the winter or sum
mer they would not touch, and they can
thus be easier caught or poisoned now
than ct any other season of the year.
A good poison for rats or mice is TO take
squills powder, mix it with lard, and
spread it on slices of bread and place it
in their runaways under the barn floor
or in the granary. One rat killed now
will reduce your stock next spring by
twenty. In word, try to find some
thing to do rather than sit by the fire
and rejoice that there is nothing now to
be done that the boys can't do till

A Large Pelican.

The Denver (Colorado) News Of the
18th inst. says: "a magnificent black
winged pelican was shot yesterday af-
ter on Perrin's Lake, near this city, and
was on exhibition last night ut the bird
store Of Achert & Taylor. It measured
nine feet across it's outstretched wings,
and lis length was Eve feet six inches.
It's principal wing feathers were black,
and there was delicate brown shading
on the back Of each wing, while the rest
of tho huge pinions and the entire body
was pure white, and soft and silken as
a swan. It contained Twelve fish waen
the bird was shot and could have &C.
oommodated as many more. But the
most surprising thing of all to most OBJ.
servers was the graceful beauty of the
bird, which went to show that the popu
lar idea of q pelican is not the correct
one. When this specimen is stuffed
and handsomely mounted, - it viii
be thing of beauty as well as curios
ity. Asingular circumstance connected
with it's capture is the fact that it was
killed by the charge of a very small
shot. and shows no wound.
