Court house last Friday evening for
the benefit of the school children of
Bellevue was grand success. The
house was comfortably filled and
the entire affair passed off pleasant

supply the inner wants was on hand.
Our ladies deserve much credit for
the interest manifested on this occa-

worked so industriously. The affair

barren. This is unquestionably true, and
TO expect to increase the yield by merely
planting corn that produces large ear is
to court disappointment. The largeeared
corns will, under favorable circumstances,
give large crops. especially where the season
is sufficiently long, but equally large crops
are produced by the small eight-rowed kinds
in localities where the largeeared kinds will
rarely mature.
Another point made by this writer is that
the fodder of large corn is coarse, woody
and not so palatable to cattle. He omits to
say also but we have found il an important
matter, that the small corn, being cut up SO
much earlier, and being smaller, cures much
more perfectly. The fodder from our Pierce
or Pedigree corn, last year, was as per
fectly cured as any hay, and though packed
together in bay, was as bright and sweet
to the bottom as though il had been kiln.
dried. 1t was stocked on a stooking-horse
in small quantities, being cut up the first
week in September, and got in before the
first of October. The grain was nearly dry
enough to grind when cut, and the yield
was at the rate of eighty-four bushels of dry
shelled corn to the acre. We have the same
ground planted with it this year, and think
we get by growing it more feed than we can
obtain from the same land in any other way,
at less cost. The product from an acre the
past season fatted pig that weighed three
hundred and twenty-five pounds at seven
months, kept horse two cows in milk, and
a heifer, five months besides twenty-four
bushels of corn reserved for seed or used in
the family. No other feed was given, ex-
cept peck of roots day to each of the
cows.
The writer we have been quoting says
ain order to arrive at correct estimate of
the relative value of small and large kinds
of corn, their various qualities should be
examined and compared. think it is gen
orally conceded that the small kinds will
thrive on poorer land than the larger sorts.
If this idea is correct, the man whose fields
are not in good state of fertility, and
whose manure heaps are not very large, will
do well to choose those varieties which, on
account of their small size, seem to be
adapted to his land and surroundings. He
must not expect to obtain as large crops
from the small kinds, planted on poor land
without manure, as he would from the same
kind on rich land, or as he would from the
largekinds planted on an ordinary soil which
received an application of fertilizers at the
time of planting. But he may reasonably
expect, if the two kinds are not materially
different in respect to being prolific, to Sc
cure larger crop than he could if he planted
much larger kind, which required more
plant food for its development,
"If the ideas already advanced are cor
rect, it follows that the larger kinds of corn
should be grown on rich land, where the
seasons are long, and by farmers who do not
care particularly about the quality of the
fodder; while the small kinds are specially
adapted to poor land and short seasons, and
the production of good grade of grain
and fodder"

The Livery Of Drunkenness.

As one man said TO me, not week ago
" l felt under the power of the appetite as
the rich man in hell must have felt when he
longed for the drop of water: ! longed for
stimulating influence upon my system, until
| shrieked in my agony" Not only among
these, but among others, o what pitiful
sight it is TO see men who have fallen from
positions Of responsibility into this fearful
debasing habit Have you ever seen them ?
| have-clinging, as with death-grip, to
the last remnants of their responsibility.
You see them, perhaps, going through your
streets, in the faded black coat, well linked in
the seams, buttoued up close in the neck, to
hide the paucity of the nether-garment-
with perhaps an old rusty pair of gloves, and
a couple of inches of wrist between the tops
of the glove and the cuffs of the once fash
ionable coat-the trousers positively shining
with old age-the last penny that can be
spared from the drink expended in backing
for the miserable boots-the hat so dilapi-
dated broken, and greasy, that they go into
Woodworking, and hide it with Grape, and
walk through the streets miserable from a
habit which has stripped them of every
thing worth having under heaven. The
livery of their master has become to them
like a garment of burning poison, eating up
all that is bright and green and beautiful
about them. And when we consider what
slaves to this appetite have been called upon,
and are called upon, continually to endure,
we shall have some idea of the mighty
power of its influence. The incorporate
man, it seems to me, is, above, all others, a
--moilng man, Ostsnil'o auu pains rack uis
bones his physical suffering can scarcely
be mprehended-it cannot be described
and yet with his eyes wide open-knowing
the cause that produces the effect-he will
clutch his bloated fingers round the cup, and
raise it to his blistered lips, and drink it
though he knows that every drop of it is
like another nail driven and clinched in his
coffin Christian at Work.

A Universal Curse.

There is no civilized nation on the face OF
the globe that does not surround the liquor
traffic with precautions and subject it to con
ditions peculiar to itself. 1t is a thing that
cannot be allowed to regulate itself. And even
where the attempt is made to regulate it best
it makes for itself always bad name. The
liquor traffic will damage the best commu
nifty in which it can be located Open a
place for the sale of strong drink in the
most quiet and orderly neighborhood, even
in quiet country town, and soon you will
see the bad results. The establishment will
have its customers Those customers will
drink to excess. Young men will become
dissipated. There will be carousals and dis
turbances, and the business will become Q
curse to the community. This ideal traffic
where there shall be no drunken men and nc
damage, and only where well behaved people
shall ever patronize the bar, is the pures
Fiction. There is no such a thing. Their,
never was and never will be. And, what
ever you may say in its defense, the Ameri
can people do not regard liquor selling as ;
respectable business.

Temperance.
Appeal TO Thinking Men.

Take the licensed dram shops of Boston,
allow them each twenty feet of front, put
them in line, and you have eight miles Of
manufactures of madmen and paupers. Has
Massachusetts,, paying such taxes that her
elections often turn on schemes for a re-
duction Of the burdens of the people, moth
ing to say about The execution of temperance
laws Eight solid miles engaged in bust
ness at war with any other traffic When
the shrewd black angels watch cities at mid
night, it must be that they laugh little at
the merchants engaged in honorable trades,
to see how the latter are feeced by the pro-
prietors of whisky-dens. The indictment to
be brought against the liquor-trafiic, in the
name of the trade, is that it can succeed only
by standing on the ruins Of other trades. II
is pirate; it is leech il is the enemy of
all honest traffic. That citizens in the hon
orable pursuit of mercantile life are not TO a
man united against the unlicensed dram
shops in Boston and New York and through
out the world, is a puzzle, / think, to the
acutest black angels that move to and fro
through the midnight of the planet. Our
church property in the United States, all
massed together, is worth only 1854, 100000.
The drink bill of the United States is $780,
100000 year. This is an estimate by the
National Bureau of Statistics. There is no
accurate return, even in the revenue de-
partment 1t has been shown again and
again that the financial loss sustained by
the sale of drinks amounts, every fifteen
years, to value equal to that Of the pro-
perty destroyed in the five years of the civil
war. Every one knows that statements of
this kind are facts, and not defamation. A
civil war for five years every fifteen years
would destroy no more property than the
rum traffic. II is said the church can do
nothing with the gigantic Apolyon of the
liquor trade, striding across the whole
breadth of the mercantile highway. She
cannot, If she is the church of the heavenly
rest. The ministry of the United States,
without going out of their own houses of
worship, have opportunities to reach with
the living voice twenty-three million of peo-
pie. That is the number of sittings in the
churches of the United States and I sup
pose that on an average for the year most
ministers address as many people as can be
brought together in their churches. Probably
twenty-three million who are old enough to
go to church are effectively reached by the
voice of the pulpit in this land.
