corn are not 40 GOOD as the middle Of the

corn are not 30 good as the middle Of the
field, which he argued showed that it
did not need the sun 80 much as sup
posed. He advocated planting corn near
together; also planting with corn
planter. Hehad raised sixty-five bushels
of corn ON land that was too poor to raise
mullin stocks by the use OF Stockbridge
fertilizers and ut cost of 33 cents per
bushel, charging the sand with taxes
labor, and interest. Good barnyard ma
nure will produce about the same result.
His experience had been that the eight
rowed corn is the most profitable to
grow. 1t will produce more corn when
shelled, than the twelve rowed, and the
fodder is good deal better. He would
plant corn on the same land year after
year, and told of farm where good corn
had been grown for fifty-two years
succession.

Mamie Sugar Making.

The best sap weather is when the wind
is southwest, with tieecy clouds by day,
and clear nights cold enough to freeze a
little. The sap will run as long as these
conditions prevail. A south wind, threat
ching rain, soon stops it; though if a soft
snow fall instead, it will run rapidly.
The sugar-maker has no use for rain; it
weis his jacket, soaks his woodpile and
increases the quantity of water to be
evaporatcd, and the water running down
the trees, sleeping moss and lichens on
it's way, and falling into the sap, gives Il
dark stain to the sugar that nothing but
chemical means will remove. In a good
"run" the sap accumulates, and the
fires must he kept going oil night.
There is no particular fun in this when
one has gathered sap all day, but the
great store tubs must be emptied to make
room for the next days gathering; so
after supper the one who is to boil till
midnight wepds his way to the works
through the deepening twilight. The
familiar woods look solemn and myste-
rious in the uncertain light. The owl
takes great interest in the sugar-maker's
fire Mt night, and perched on tree just
outside the circle of light, boots loudly,
at intervals, for hours. If you have two
pans, and propose to boil large guam
tity of sap, you will have no leisure to
speak of. You will fill the "feed tub, 4"
and set the faucets ut the bottom to run
as large stream as can possibly be
evapomted; then you urge the fires to
the utmost. The pans bubble and foam;
the fragrant steam rolls away in clouds.
You see the light of other fires in the
distant woods where other lonely watch
ers, like yourself, are ut work, and after
awhile the waning moon comes up and
its light struggles among the trees. Ii
the air is clear and still, the tinkle of the
falling drops of sap can be heard Mt n
distance of many yards, a clear, melo-
dious sound, like II single stroke on II
tiny bell, and rs the pitch varies some
what according to the size of the bucket
or depth Of the sap, or for some other
reason, you may enjoy unique concert,
if 20 or 30 trees stand near enough to-
gether to enable you to hear them all ut
once. Now several drops fall ut once,
then the intervals gradually widen, then
narrow again, while others chime in,
giving rise to sort Of irregular rhythm
and cadence. No one notices it in the
dry time, and the distance Mt which it is
audible ut night is surprising. The only
other sound is the rush of the creek in
the valley far below, swollen by the
tribute gathered by the sun from every
snowbank within its basin.

Corn Raising.

At the Amherst farmers meeting, un-
der the management of the state board
of agriculture, Hon. Moses Humphrey
is reported rs follows:
One of the disadvantages in raising
corn is in the fact that farmers plant in
patches here and there instead of in one
field. This method necessitates good
deal of lost time. He advocated that to
raise corn successfully farmer must
select corn land. The land must be
carefully prepared. 1t is fatal mistake
to heavily manure for corn. Over fertil-
izing produces good corn fodder andpoo
corn. The stalk grows so fast that the
ears cannot put out. It is good plan to
run cultiyator and cut the roots. He
does not believe in manuring in the hill;
it grows it too fast. A light compost is
good for the hill. Corn should not be
planted on wet land; it will cost more to
take care of il md the result viii not be
as satisfactory. The outside rows Of

Think Abou, the Garden Now.

lfTOul
How often have we suggested to those
having sufficient ground for IL garden,
and especially farmers, to pay increased
attention to this important appendage of
family comfort. Farmers, as a rule, are
entirely too careless about their gardens,
their whole minds being placed upon
their field-crops, stock, etc. The women
would in most cases he competent and
gladly willing to take charge of large
portion Of the labor necessary to the
proper cultivation of the garden if the
men would prepare the ground to their
hands. Indeed, it is fact that those
who pursue the cultivation of the soil rs
their business, rarely enjoy garden
products in perfection, just because they
appear to insist upon the error that they
don't pay. Now is the time to think how
the garden can be enlarged and the num-
Der and quality of the crops increased.
The stuff can also be got ready for the
additional fence, and the fence itself
erected rs soon as the weather will per-
nit. The little hot-beds in which to
raise your tomato, cabbage plants and
egg.plants should now be repaired and
got ready for sowing the seed as soon us
the time arrives, and that will be from
the Goth to the end of this month. One
thing must be remembered, that there
should be no sparing of the underlying
stratum of horse manure in preparing
the beds.

Potatoes Mixing I'm the IiiII.

". M. III country tentlculun.l
In reply TO the question whether pota-
toes win mix, / will say that they will
not. New varieties are produced in two
ways: through the seed balls and by
sprouts. In fifteen years experience
growing seedlings, l have found that
most Of the seedlings TO n great degree
partake Of the nature of the parent stock
with tendency to degenerate, so that
hardly one out of hundred is superior
to the parent. In experimenting with
Peachblow Seeding, have found both
red and white potatoes on the same stalk,
which, when planted, in some instances,
produces both red and white in the same
hill and separately. l have often found
the Peerless was produced. l have plant
ed them, and new vaiiCty in color with
all the characteristics of the Peerless was
produced. A potato of that kind was
exhibited at our county fair last fall. 1

for this only as taking back to some an
cestral stock, for no potatoes of that
color were planted in the field.

Protection and Wages.

The wages business is always IN unfor'u-
nate subject for American protectionists to
touch. During the recent campaign they
told the workingmen that their wages would
be reduced to the level Of the compensation
of "pauper labor" in England, and that =
protective tariff always secured high wages
for workinguen. We showed few weeks
ago that in Germany, which is adorned with
a tariff, to u great extent prohibitofy, the
uorkingnen receive the lowest wages in
Europe, and can hardly keep soul and body
together. The Toronto Globe, discussing the
republican campaign of Misrepresentation in
this country, says on this subject of wages
1.-THE republican stump orators made the
most, during the late campaign, Of the CIR
cums,ance that, Just at this moment, wages
in the protected United States are higher
than in free trade Euglsnd, They forgot to
recall that the cost of living is also higher,
except as far as regards provisions, which do
not consume more than quarter or third
of y mans ses. Thoy also left unmen-
toned the fact that during 1874 and 1876
wages in England were higher than in the
states, as is attested by the reaux of emigra.
ton which took place in those years. Meth.
or did it occur to them to mention the we'll
known fact that wages in free trade England
are very much higher than wages in any OF
the protect countries of the old world, and
it is with countries of equally close popula-
ton that the comparison ought to be made.
In the United States wages ure high because
the country is thinly poopled, and there are
great opportunities for tho wolkingmsn pur-
chasing farm. It's therefore necessary that
wsges should be good in order TO keep men
from focking 10 the west. This, again, is
borne out BY the fact that during the hard
times when wsges ran down, the men ran
of, and the sales of United States laud ran
up to unprecedented figures. Moreover,
wages were high in the United States long

the people Another re(utation of the pro-
tectitionsts assertions is found in letter

But supposing it did not, then there would
be transference of capital and labor into
businesses that would pay. One who argues
otherwise is of the same mental grasp as the
freed darkcy who refused to touch
patent washing machine, thinking
Dinsh's day was over or the poor seanis!ress
who thought her starvation knell was sound
ed when the sewing machine was invented
and brought into use, or the village post
master who deemed "0thello's occupation
gone" when the success of the electric tele-
graph was announced. The people need en-
tightening on this Protection fallacy. The
trouble now is they are not made TO feel ard

broken doses and behind such Mokanna-
like veil. But tho veil will yet be torn

tous imposition will yet be brought fally to
