The E.ingling of the military with agri-

ought to be, cminently and s6vereiysc
vatlve. The other IL notoriously was5dfu1f

to teach habits of industry, thrift and econ

ness, waste and extravaganza The one
plalnncss of dress, manners and simplicity
Of life The other glitter, show-a lofty
sir and manner, well calculated to fill the
youthful mind with IDEAS of pride and am
bition, and q distaste for the quiet pursuits
| OF agriculture. In no sense and in no
! view can these two dissmilar avocations of
| lille be harmonizcd. The one must i'm the

but the accumulating interest so hampers
his energies and dcpletes his earnings that
freedom becomes boon greatly to be de-

of the servile chain occasionally, but too
frequently adding two, and if both ends
can be made to meet when the accounts are
balanced, the fact is made an occasion for
rejoicing.
These three words should be blotted from
every farmers vocabulary. He cannot af.

gain my toll in every bushel carry to mill, al
lowing sc lbs as the standard Do farmers
generally ever think of little thing like
this? Many carry corn to mill that will scarcely
reach the standard weight. The toll is the
same as for heavier corn. With my corn at G2
lbs man that carries 30 bushels to the mill
yearly would gain 10 bushels. a bushel of this
corn will grow on the same, or less ground
than bushel weighing So lbs. The gain then,
in the field, would be six or more pounds on
each space of n bushcl. In large crops this
would soon amount to something were there no
other gain. My object in improving corn was
to secure variety that would make good bread;
white clear grain, with little husk. sound and
heavy; small, soft, white cob and deep grain;
a small stalk and light shuck and lastly, a corn
that would bear crowding, and that would ma
ture carly. All this is true of the variety am
now improving, yet hope to de more for il in
the way Of purity. l hope to make compari-
son this season with from every principal
farr in this Township, both as to weight and
measurement. At a future day, | hope to ex-
tend this comparison to Nothorn and Western
varieties. | want to find the best white corn for
the South. New theories, as to cultivation are
now being tried science and experiment are
being intolligently applied and the possibilities
of larger yields per acre, are not beyond resli-
zation. D. C. ANDERSON.

You have not come home to die"
Nor did she die. Our simple
tale has already been too long in
the telling, or we might narrate
how the sense of rest and peace
that grew up in her now, the skill
ful care of the best physicians, and
the knowledge of her boys future
was assured, all combined to work
a cure, that, otherwise, might have
been regarded as almost miraculous.
To-day there is no more beauti-
ful women of her years, in that
great city, that Margaret. She
lives only for her father and her
boy; they come, at least, before
everything else. But she does not
exclude herself entirely from So
ciety. To tie select and cultivated
circle of which she is the center
and chief ornament, she gives freely
of her varied accomplishments and
her exquisite charm of manner.
But the memory of her dead hus-
band is still green in her heart,
and ever will be; and though men
of high station aud even world
wide celebrity would WOO her, if
she would, to be the light of their
home, they know, one and all, that
her first and last love lies buried,
in that lonely grave, on the blue
shores of the Riviera, to which,
every year or two, she makes o
pilgrimage.
