Corn and Grows.


The Country Gentleman says the follow
ing course is sure to prevent depredations
of all animals, and co SITS little, except time:
"Take, say half bushel Of shelled seed
corn at time, and having put it into an
ordinary tub or cask, pour on boiling water
enough to cover it. Pour the whole i'm
mediately into basket, which allows the
hot water to drain out from the corn.
Then pour the corn back into the tub and
stir it well with paddle or fat stick which
has been dipped into bucket of tar. Or
a couple Of spoonfuls of tar can be put on
the hot corn, which is then to be stirred
rapidly. If well and thoroughly stirred,
the two spoonfuls Of tar win coat every
kernel Of the seed with a thin varnish.
Lime in powder, gypsum, or even road
dust, must then be put in, aud the stirring
continued until each kernel is completely
coated with the dust, and no two kernels
will adhere to each other. The seed can
be spread out on a floor and allowed to
cool, it is then ready for planting.
"If the thing has been properly done,
the corn can be dropped as well as if not
so treated, and no bird or animal viii try
more than one kernel as food. The seed
so prepared can be safely left exposed to
the fowls and swine, as they will not eat
it. After it has lain in the ground few
days, ground squirrels (chipmunks) will,
if very plenty, dig and eat a kernel occa.
sionally, but not enough to do serious
damage. After the crows have tried q
stalk or two in different parts of the field,
they cease their experiments and tronble
the field no more. II takes corn SO pre-.
prepared two or three days longer to ger
inmate and come up. If due care is taken
not to allow the hot water to remain too
long on the seed, no injury to the ger.
minating Of the corn need to be appre.
hended. The application of tar to the
seed seems to have no effect in preventing
the attacks Of cutworms; but when the
wireworm is troublesome, it is not quite
50 bad on tarred seed as on ordinary clean
grain"

Some three or four years ago, while
lived i'll Kansas, the work of organic
ing oranges was all the rage among the
farmers of that state. The object was
the protection of the industrial classes,
especially farmers, against the grinding
rapacity of the railroads and other OPP
pressors of the poor. Lodges were or
ganized in every township, and small
vOciferous demagogues had busy time
harranguing these simple people, and
persuading them that they were most
terribly wronged by those wicked and
oppressive mOnOpOlies. the railroads.
A little money and good deal of time
were expended in keeping up these
weekly Indignation meetings, but no
visible Improvement was to be seen,
either in the condition of the farmers
or in the conduct of the railroads. The
furious and noisy eloquence which was
then let loose all went for nothing.
But the hot, dry winds of 1875, fol-
lowed by an overwhelming invasion of
locusts, put sudden stop to all that
kind of nonsense. Famine, gaunt and
terrible, stared the people in the face.
The grangers, which were to do so much
for the farmers were utterly impotent,

With Jesus.

We leave, Lord, in thy keeping
Her precious dust; twill be
Safe where thy saints are sleeping
And still o'erwatched by thee.
While the sweet bird from her prison
Scars to her Savior free.
Thy mercy, past all measure,
Thy love, so strong and deep,
Hath garnered safe our treasure
That zoe so loSlged to keep.
We give thee back thy loan, Lord,
And praise thee while we weep.
Safe from the tribulation
From sorrows rust and care,
From the subtle worlds temptation,
No more to shrink or share.
She rests in thy bright presence:
Lord we would leave her there.
No fretting pain can reach her
In the land where thou dost reign;
Sweet lessons thou wilt teach her
Before we meet again
Raised like to thee in glory,
In robes without stain.
Keep, Lord, our treasure Keep herl
Though our hearts are sore to-day,
Thou knOwest while we weep her,
We would not say thee, Nay"
For the free birds song is ringing
In the land of endless day.
