Pulling Fodder and Topping
Corn.

These are practices old as cul-
~tivating corn in this country, and
much discussion has been had as
to their propriety and profit. Not
a few farmers are preparing to
engage in fodder pulling this and
next month; and topping will
come in for its full quota Of work.
1t is a fact well known, practical
ly and scientifically, that the
corn ear is nourished by the sap
elaborated in the leaves Of the
stalk, and when these elabora-
ting organs are torn away the
supply Of food will cease Just to
the extent of the cutting off the
top and stripping off the fodder
leaves, so, if the ear is net ma
tured before these processes are
commenced, there will be fall
ing off in the growth and p%erfec-
ton Of the corn.
Now, if fodder is the object, it
is far better to wait till the corn
is hard enough, or scared, and
then cut the whole crop at the
ground and shock it, as directed
some time since in the Sun by f.
r. Rains, Esq. Your corn will
not then be injured by stripping
and topping before ripe, but you
will have the advantage Of hav
ing your ground clear for fall
blowing, or fall sowing, as you
may choose, and your corn then
has a chance to derive all the
nOurishment from the stalk after
it is cut, which it will certainly
do, and you will thereby save
your corn free from shriveling--a
direct result Of stripping and top
ping. After the corn is shocked
the stalks and shucks can be cut
up and ground for stock feed, or
thrown into racks, and what is
not eaten will be firSt-rate base
for absorbing and forming com
post manure.
If any have doubts as to the
effect Of fodder-pulling and top
ping of corn, we invite them to
set apart three parcels Of corn in
the same field-strip the top one;
leave another unstripped and I'M
topped; and cut the shock tho
third; and report the result in
quality and quantity to us, and
we will publish for the benefit Of
all.-RuruL SIN.

4 RepudiaIIOnIsf.

HERE is something from the
Richmond Enquier for the Re.
PudiatiOnist in Tennessee-es.
pecially our late block-head Leg.
islature-tO read: "Father, are
you Il repudiationistl" "Yes, my
sOn."-"What is a population.
ist!' "One who does not want tC
pay the State debt" slow did
the State get into debt, father!''
by borrowing money, my child
"Did the State intend to pay
back the money when it borrow
ed it, "Certainly, my SON" IA
Their, Mr.. Jones, the livery man,
owes you some money for grocer
les Yes" didn't you say the
other day that you couldn't get
principal or INTEREST," II believe
| did, my SON" We'll, father.
I've been thinking that perhaps
Mr.. Jones is a repudiationist.''
That's different. He is Il private
citizen oh, | see father! But
do you think it right for the State
to rcpudiate her debts and not
let Mr.. Jones repudiate his!' MY
son, the subject is one you do
not understand. Here's fifteen
cents; run up to Hizinni's and get
some ice cream.

Ohio Matters.

THE Cincinnati Times says the
trouble about the disaffe cted Re
publican movements in Ohio is,
that the signers of the Columbus
resolutions are all men Of high
character and of unimpeachable
Republicanism. The Times says,
now that they have put them
selves on record, the best thing
they can do is to turn in and
elect the Republican ticket. This
is good advice.

S~chooImarms as wives.

Our metropolitan exchanges are
just now wrestling with the prob
lem whether school marms are
desirable candidates for matrimO-
ny. Among the ladies them
selves the opinion seems to pre-.
vail that as wives they should es.
pecially adorn homes and make
happy the lives Ct good husbands.
They argue that the very fact of
their getting and holding their
places is evidence Of thicr intclli-
gence and moral worth, two
things very requisite in a wife.
They say further, that the famil-
iarity with the management Of
children which teacher acquires
will serve her in good stead when
she becomes a mother herself;
and that the development Of
her faculties which she gets in
the schoolroom is of just the sort
that best prepares Il woman for
the duties of a wife. From local
observation we should say that
they are just the girls for young
fellows TO court.

The California State election,
to be held Sept. 5, will virtually
decide whether CALIFORNIA; new
Senator is to be Republican or
Democratic. The present Legis-
lature is largely Democratic, and
ofthe twenty Senators who hold
over sixteen are Democrats. The
entire House Of Representatives
is to be chosen, and part Of the
Senate. The Republicans are
making a strong fight for the
Legisla ture.

The GEORGIA Convention.

The Georgia Constitutional
Convention took another step
backward last week. 1t voted to
limit common school education
to elementary branches Of Eng
fish education. The majority of
delegates (126 to 81 were oppos-
cd to high schools in principle,
and many were in doubt as to
whether it was the duty of the
government to educate the citi-
zen or not.

Indiana's Senator.

TIE many friends of Senator
Morton will regret to learn that
he has had another severe attack
of paralysis, and has temporarily
at least lost the use of one of his
arms. He was attacked while re-
turning from Oregon, and was
compelled to summon his family
physician, who met him on the
road, and is accompanying him
home. 1t is believed hat Il few
days rest will restore him to com
'parative health, but for the pres
ent absolute rest and quiet are
prescribed.

No More SpeCiaI Cars.

THE Memphis Avalanche says:
President Hayes refuses to
travel in special railroad cars.
He means to travel like other
people. The special railroad car
business has well nigh ruined the
corporations. \ special car for
the President, a special car for
the Directors, a special car for
the other officers Of the road, and
a special car for a delegation of
Congressman have played spec
ial thunder with the railroad cor
porations. SPECIAL cars for these
dead-head uses, conlrastel hide
ously with the gravel trains, car
rying the employees Of the road
home at full fare. There have
been no special cars for stockhol-
ders or train men.
President Hayes mas, by his re-
fusal Of the special car, placed
another solid rock in the civil
service. lie has. by this act, done
much to remove from official con
duct the debauching influence Of
personal packings by men in au
thority. 1t is a well served no
tee to all concerned, that the
Federal Administration is not to
be rode or dined into class legis.
lation or class favoritism. The
public conscience is no longer to
be shocked or corrupted by
brides, delicately administered
on special cars prepared with re-
freshmcntS for outer and also for
thn inner man.

State Finances.

Nashville American: 1t is cs.

the State until January /, 1878
To pay the current expenses OF
next year we will have the ten
cent tax levied this year on real
ty, aggregating 5000 900, and
100000 collected on privileges.
making a total Of 100000. The
amount required to run the State
government is a little over $780,.
900. 1t will be seen that there
is a deficit of 100000 in the pay.
ment of expenses for the year
1878.
The amount Of State warrants
now outstanding is $125,O0O.

A refined man is never cloud
in his dress, for refinement is al.
ways allied to simplicity and i
~judicious and tasteful employ
ment Of the means Of the good
and happiness which it has at
command. 1t seems to diyest it
self Of superlluities, and aspires
continually to the utmost posi-.
bic purity. Refinement leads to
personal cleanliness and elegant
neatness, good taste and SIMPLE
ity. Needless diplay and bash
fulness are alike repugnant to its
spirit.

New YOrk's Senator.

The Graphic says that the en-.

Senator Conkling means that the
Republican party in New York
proposes to keep that gentleman
in the United States Senate, and
that the oficeholders who took
part in the reception have a want
Of confidence in the civil service

That Plank.

The tenth plank in the Maine
platform is very soothing for
Democrats. 1t reads thusly:
"'Tenth-The states Of South
Carolina, Florida, and Louisiana
were fairly carried by the Repub
leans at the Novew Der election
in 1876 for State and national
tickets, and the undoubted right
Of President Hayes and Vice
President Wheeles to the electo-
raj Of those States was affirmed
by the highest and most impair
tial tribunal that could be organ
lied under the authority of the
national Government, Il tribunal
to which the Democrats in both
branches of Congress gave their
deliberate assent. For the Dem
ocratic party now to raise the cry
of fraud, is both unmanly and
dishonest, and, if persisted in,
must be accepted as an indica-
ton that the party, in its mad de
sire for power, is willing to incur
all hazards Of anarchy and revo-
