Crows IN THE CORN FIELD.
Farmers should bear in mind
what we have oftenrecommend-
ed to them for the protection OF
the young plants against the
depredations ofcrows and back
birds. 1t is SO cheap and so
simple as to be always at hand
for application. tits the soak
ing Of a quantity of corn SO that
it is quite soft and sow it along
the border of a field OF corn or
in an adjoining field about the
time the young plant makes its
appearance. The birds will eat
that and let the other alone.
Not much should be sown at
once, as it will become dry and
hard, when the other may suffer.
These birds never eat hard grain,
and when hungered they will
gather the dry grains, carry them
to a place of concealment and
bury them until they get soft.
The planted corn is always soft,
hence their seeking it when no
other is to be had.

sugar now to France. In 1876
Russia made her first exporta-

to western markets. Now she
sends $1,000 tons yearly across
her frontiers. The region most
favorably for beet culture in
that country lies between 4S
and 81 degrees of latitude. The
sugar lubricants are mostly beet
growers, and hemp succeeds
beets in rotation. The culture

FAN Cropof Irish Potutoes.
Alabama Fam, IOurnal.1

Alabama Fam Joumal.J
The only difficulty in making
a fall crop of Irish Potatoes is
to get them to come up. The
following plan is recommended
for overcoming that difficulty:
When the tops of the first crop
have died, dig them and dry
them carefully in the shade.
After they are thoroughly dri-
ed, bed them as you would
sweet potatoes, and if the sea-
son is very dry water them oc-
casionally. For this purpose
nothing is better than the Stops
from the wash-tub. Examine
them to discover when they are
sprouted, and when this is Sc
cured plant them as soon as
there is a good season in the
ground, and cover with straw
to keep them moist and cool.
The Early Rose we consider
the best variety for either early
or late planting. We have
known some persons to succeed
well with a fall crop from volun-
teers in the old bed, for which
purpose, in digging the crop.
potatoes enough are left in the
ground to insure a stand.

There IS mo- mere ornamenl

There is no mere ornament,
either inside or outside of
our houses, so cheap and taste
full as plants and flowers. The
architecture Of our house or
room is farely noticed, but the
beauty of Towering shrubs. or
the living arabesque of a thrifty
creeper over your door are les
sons of taste and beauty. Sub
urban or country residences are
sadly deficient without these
simple but beautiful accessories.

Jute culture is bound to be-
come one of the great industries
over much ofthe South. Where
ever rice will grow Jute will
thrive remarkably. Every part
ofthe plant, from the roots to
the tips Of the sprouts is useful.
Its production costs only one
eighth that of cotton, and 5000
pounds of the fibre can be pro-
duced on one acre. 1t sells in
New York from six to eigN
cents per pound. Thfs-yoi

in by Mr.. Rosin, Prof. Reynolds and
President Purnsll of Delaware College.
Mr.. Herman Roe, Principal of the Pub

Smyrna, read carefully prepared paper
on Penmanship and Drawing. He was
Of the opinion that the writing class
should meet during the last hour Of the
session when then we're more likely to be
free from care and excitement. In regard
to positions in writing he thought that
a beginner should be one in which the
arm would be supported. ..and as a.pupil
| advanced position in which no support
could be obtained would be proper, and
at last the student should be able to
write in any position and under any
circumstances. At the close Of his re-
marks, Mr.. 1. d. johnson, desired to
know how to get pupils to write rapidly
and vet write evenly and easily. This
opened the discussion which was parti
cipated in by several teachers, but nc
satisfactory answer was obtained.
The morning program was closed by
DR.. Purnell reading short and witty
selection.
The afternoon session opened at
o'clock with prayer by Prof. Reynolds

tions." The subject of "Englsh Gram
mar was treated upon by Prot. Key
nolds. The Professor recommended to th.
State Board, series of works called
supplementary Readers" for the pur
pose Of teaching grammar in an interest
! ing anil instructive manner. The FRO
fsssor gave an illustration by means OF
class Of little girls, who were given
sentence to parse. They acquitted them
selves very creditably. After having
finished their parsing, Mr.. Rosin gav'
them instructions IN spellirg an

FOR tneE3azette.
MR.. EDITOR: There is quite an in
terest taken by our Republican politi-
cal enemies, in the Democratic party's
selection of Upite1 States Senator, and
some shallow pated mortals, going 30
far as to say If it was Democrat, 1t
would not be Thomas F. Bayard. Do
you Republicans have SO little COM
mon sense to suppose because you in
directly bribed the negro vote Of Del
aware by the payment Of their taxes,
and the bribery 6 as many white men
as perjure themselves with large
amounts of money distributed all
through the State in every Hundred
to hire and bribe white men of easy
political virtue to vote with negroes,
to help to elect your Republican ticket
that in that way, because you through
raud and bribery, carried this county
and cut down the Democratic majority
in Sussex, that you lessened the re-
spect of all honest Democrats in Thos.
F. Bayardp No. In some matters, /,
myself, have differed with Mr.. Bay
ard, but in all that particularly relates
to Democracy, Mr.. Bayard is trusty
Democrat, and instead of these low
white men, who sold themselves, drag
ging him down, have raised him up,
and made him dearer to his party in
| Delaware. There will not be jar or
a no, in his election in January by the
Democratic members of the Delaware
Legislature; it will be as smooth as
oil, therefore, Republicans, cease

up Mr.. Bayard for candidate for
President q any other Democrat from
an old SlavesS State, believing that to
disarm prejudice in the Northern free
States, a candidate should be taken
from there, and Allen G. Thurman
was my choice; then if the South gave
their full support to said Northern
free State Democrat, it would show an
honest intention Of the South to live
for the future, and let bygones be by.
cones. But instead of Thurman,

would be foolish to even hold anothe
