Mr. Pedumele and Ass Cow.

Mr.. Peduncle went out to milk the
other day. Now, if there is one thing
Mr.. Peduncle prides himself upon, il
is his perfect command of a cow.
With his bucket on the ground he
milks with both hands, and sings
meanwhile, occasio ionally bestowing a
word of warning upon the COW if she
wisks her tail at him or tries to scratch
her back with her hind foot. On this
occasion he had nearly finished, and
was singing cheerfully:
"My soul ESQ, now y be on thy
guard. (What in the Egyptian sand
hills ails this COW y
'Ten thousand (thunder and boz
rax, stand still y foes arise
And as Mr.. Pcduncle raised HIM
self up from the barn-tioor and wiped
the milk out Of his ears, and nose, he
saw up in the loft the wife of his
bosom with long switch in her
hand, with which she had been tick
ling the gentle animals nose, and she
said in an awful voice:
"Oliver Pedunclc, reckon you'll
wrap your old tobacco box i'm my
handkerchief again, next Sunday
won't We ?-and'h have me to take it to
church aud sling it ont ON the floor

When he milks now, Mr.. Peduncle
sings very softly, indeed. and keep,
one eye on the loft.

A Large sweet Corn Crop.
From the Turf, Field and Farm.

Mr.. j. NJ. Hayner, of Lebanon,
Southern Ohio, raises over 500 acres
of sweet corn annually, aud disposes
of his immense crop by first drying
and packing it in barrels. The pro-
cess is very simple. The fresh ears
are steamed for five minutes, to 'sset
the milk" the grain is then ia pidly
removed from the cob with cutters
having concave faces. 1t is then
spread on perforated zinc tables, and
heat applied for four or five hours
from long furnaces, the grain being
constantly stirred during the process
of drying, 1t is then packed in bar
rels of three bushels each for ship
ment. Great care is required to have
the corn just at the right age, and to
have it dried just enough to keep
well. Four bushels of fresh corn on
the cob make one bnshel dried, the
wholesale price of which is from $40
to $4 per barrel. The drying house
employs 80 persons. At fifty bushels
of this corn to the acre, 500 acres
would yield 25,OO0 bushels, which
when dried, make 6,25O bushels, or
LOSS barrels, which, at 500 per barrel
amounts to the handsome sum of

The independents Nominate n
Centennarlan for President.

INDIANAPoLIs, May lS.-The con-
vention re-assembled at $50 this
morning and the following platform
was adopted:
The Independent party, called into
existence by the necessity of the peo-
pie, whose industries are prostrated,
whose labor is deprived of its just
reward by the ruinons policy which
the Republican and Democratic par
ties refuse to change, therefore. we
declare our principles and invite all
Independent and patriotic men to
join our ranks in this movement of
financial reform and industrial eman-
cipation:
lst. We demand an immediate and
unconditional recall of the specie re-
sumption act of Jan. 18th, 1875, and
we call upon all patriotic men to or
ganize in every Congressional District
of the country, with the view Of elect
ing Representatives to Congress who
will carry out the wishes of the
people in this regard and stop the
present suicidal and destructive poll
cy of contraction.
I'd. We believe that the II. s. note
issued directly by the Government,
convertible OH demand into U. S.
obligations, bearing a low rate of in
terest. not exceeding one cent day
on each $lOO, and Interchangeable for
U. S. notes ut par, will afford the best
circulating medium; such notes
should be full legal tender forIal
purposes, except payment of saeh
obligations as. are by existing DON
tracts expressly made payable in cbin.

TRANSATLANTIC EvERGREENs.-
Each spring there come numerous in
qnries about transplanting evergreens
and many think success depends up
on choosing exactly the proper time.
In our experience we have not found
the schea so important as the hoc,
having removed the trees in the fall
and carly and late in the spring. II
one can have his choice of times, no
doubt that the period when the swell
ling of the buds shows that vegita-
tion is active would be preferable, but
we have succeeded with much earlier
aud much later planting. The one
great and all essential point is, to
keep the roots from becoming dry.-
l they are dry, send the tree TO the
brush-heap, as that will be its ulti-
mate destination. IL the trees are to
be brought from no great distance, a
dull day can be waited for, otherwise
the roots must be packed iu wet moss
be pnddled, or some protection given
them; they had better be kept soak
ing wet thansto dry ut ALI Some ask
what manure to use. Probably GU
ano would killthem the qilickest, but
fresh stable manure will be pretty
sure. tNSrer manure an evergreen al

well dcromposed manure will be oi
