THE method of selecting and saving
seed corn, practiced by New York
farmer, is, when husking, to select, from
stalks having two or more ears, the
finest and best ears-those having
small cob, we'll tipped out, rows regular
and straight, bright and clear seed, and
with no strange kernels. On such he
leaves three or four husks, and when
quantity has accumulated he takes one
or two dozen and braids the husks, adj
ding the ears on one side. These
'' trusses are then hung in some airy
loft, where they will not be liable to be
affected by moisture rising from any
thing stored beneath, or be attacked by
insects or vernlin. The deeper the kerr
mel, with given size of ear, the smaller
the cob and the larger the yield. The
eye will easily detect this with little
practice.
WHEN wet land is drained, the water
enters through the joints Of the drain
tiles all along the course. 1t is not
necessary to to provide inlets for the
water. 1t must be remembered that if
drain tiles are laid three feet below the
surface the pressure of the water above
them is considerable, and will force a
large quantity through very small
space. The tiles may be laid SO close
that knife blade cannot be inserted
between them, and yet the entering
water will be sufficient to keep an
inch and half tile so rods long full
in wet weather. The cost of draining
land depends on several conditions,
such as the character of the soil, the
distance of the drains apart, and the
depth of the drains; the size of tile de-
pending upon the wetness Of the land;
all these may vary the cost from about
$50 to $50 per acre.

Headaches of To-day.
THoboken Democrat. I

We refer to those peculiar, throbbing
pains, which seem to fill the head to the
exclusion of everything else. Such a
headache troubled Mrs. A. Ettanger,
Plainfeld, n. J. She says: [ suffered
for sixteen years with painful nervous
headache, and [ consulted many physi-
clans, in vain. Some time ago, I re-
ceived by chance Hamburg fanaily
almanac, read the testimonials in favor
of Hamburg Drops and bought bottle
for trial. The effect was SO beneficial
that I continued it's use. Before many
weeks had passed was cured, and now
keep this wonderful remedy constantly
on hand.

LAMENT FOR SUMNER.

Weep, Mother Nature, weep;
Summer is dead.
See there she lies in shroud OF flowers,
Dropping her sun-crowned headi
While the Past Hours
Kneel all weeping, round her hoWery pea.
Blow gently, Autumn winds;
Sigh soft and low:
Summer only knew Zephyrs balmy breath;
But she that loved him SO
Now lies in death.
Sing We her dirge-but sing it soft and low.
Mourn, We Dryads, mourn
Your woods are bare.
The gracious Summer with her sunny light
No more will linger there.
Her spirit bright
Has spread her wings and vanished into ar.
Soft fall, We Autumn Rains!
Summer has fed;
Fall gently on her fair and fragrant face,
AS tears from heaven shed.
Lost is her grace;
Then weeping, fall on the beloved Dead

THE IDEAL SANDWICH.

Take delicate morsels of cold grouse,
and either CRATE or pound them finely
season to taste, adding drop or two of
lemon. Spread some paper-thin slices
of fresh bread with butter; over this
spread thickly the grouse. A quantity
ofthese sandwiches, with bottle of wine
for those who approve it, or a bottle of
cafe az .fait for those who don't, and
some fruit for dessert, make up an ideal
travelling luncheon.

A paper has lately been discovered in
the State archives Of Saxony which con.
tains some curious particulars concerning
the corps longs long known to the Prus,
sian service IS the I" Porcelain Repi-
ment," and from which the First ORA
goons and the Third, Fourth and Fifth
Regiments of Cuirassiers claim to have
sprung. According to tradition, the
regiment was bought by King Frederick
William, of Prussia, from the King Of
Poland for some costly porcelain vases;
and the documents lately found in the
Saxon archives show that substantially
the tradition was correct. The men were
valued at twenty thalers each, and the
whole regiment at IL 900 thalers; while
the porcelain given in exchange for them
was considered to be worth considerably
more.
