Corn too Thick.

One summer we had a side hill on
which We planted corn-the Chester
County Mammoth-and it was in it's
growth very rank. The hired man. who
was told to pull out all unhealthy sta ks
and leave not more than at the least
three to the hill. did not pull any at all,
but got drunk. The field was very
beautiful, but practical men came to us
and said that it WAS very nice and
picturesque, but that it was like hem
lock forest too shady. The truth ia,
the hills had been pretty heavily and
hotly fertilized through the drunkenness
of the aforesaid man, and the shades
made by the stalks kept the ground cool
in the drought. The result was hand
some crop of corn at time when corn
had been burned up by the sun. We
would not like to recommend this plan
to anybody, because we think it is
very bad one, but we relate it as a mat
ter Of illustration for some of the
agricultural smarties.--Ne1o York Herald.

How Spring Crops Often Fail.

IN spring, usually when plowed, the
soil is moist from winter rains and SHOWS,
and therefore compaCts more readily
than in the fall. But it is we'll known
that oats and barley rarely do we'll on
sod ground, especially if old and tough.
why? There is strength enough in the
soil, but it is apt to become very dry
about the time the grain is heading out,
often before. The sod is too stiff to pack
solid, and the roots of grain encounter
places where there is vacancy between
the PARTICLES Of earth. In hoed crops we
remedy this by frequent cultivation. 1t
is this which makes the magical result
from the use of the cultivatOr, but di.
rectly under the hill no implement will
reach. Unless the soil has become thor
oughly cOmpacted before planting, it
will be hard work to do it afterwards.
An intelligent farmer remarked the
other day that the coarse manure he
drew on his potato ground and plowed
under last April had absolutely dam
aged the crop. The sod was heavy, and
the coarse manure had lain underneath,
preventing either from rotting. In dig
ging into some of the poorest hills of
potatoes, he invariably found hollow
space beneath the hill, and unrotted ma
nure or sod. On portion of the field
he had used pulverizer and roller, and
there the crop was much better and the
weakly hills very few. He would have
pulverized the entire field, but a heavy
rain came on when it was half-fnished,
and he relied on that to compact the
soil, but it had not done it etfectually.--
Country Gentleman.

FACTS FOR THE CURIOUS.

THE cuttle-fish has three distinct
hearts.
ELEPHANTS always disturb the water
before they drink.
The woodpecker can thrust it's tongue
out full three inches.
THE albatross, the largest Of sea birds.
flies with velocity of 100 miles an hour.
The little bird called the swift darts
through the air at the rate of 1870 miles
an hour.
The noise made by o school of fish
sounds, in the deep sea, like the rum
bling of thunder.
The horn of o rhinoceros, when cut
through the middle, is said to exhibit
on each side the rude figure of man,
the outlines being marked by small
white strokes.
ORANG-oUTANGs, in state of domesti-
cation, will sit at the table like men and
eat every kind Of food, using the knife
and fork; and they will drink wine and
other liquors.
THE main artery in the common
whale is pipe into which man might
creep with ease; the heart throws out
from twelve to fifteen gallons of blood
at every pulsation; the tongue has been
compared to q vast feather-bed, on
which half a dozen men might find am
pie room for repose. The whalo's tail
not infrequently has a surface of 100
square feet.
If the ealth could be suddenly stopped
in her orbit, and allowed to fall unob-
structed toward the sun, under the &C
celebrating influence of his attraction,
she would reach the central fire in about
four months. But such is the compass
of her orbit that, to make its circuit in n
year, she has to move nearly nineteen
miles a second, or more than fifty times
faster than the swiftest rifle ball, and,
moving twenty miles. her path deviates
from perfect straightness by less than
one-eighth of an inch.
AMONG the extinct species of animals,
the remains of which are found in Amer
lea, may be mentioned the Eobasileus
coruntus, beast as large as the Indian
elephant, but standing low, having pro-
portions more as in the rhinoceros.
The physiognomy was very peculiar. On
either side of the front, above each Or
bit, rose stout horn, its base continu-
ous with that of its mate. Immensely
prolonged nasal bones supported on
CtSu olOSy lStI UllS ID
reversed shovel-shaped protuberance.
! These beasts probably lived in herds
like elephants of the present day.
In Persia they bottle up their tears as
of old. This is done in the following
manner: AS the mourners are sitting
around and weeping, the master of cere-
monies presents each one with piece of
cotton wool, with which to wipe off his
-, oeL 4 4
into bottle, and the tears are preserved
as powerful and efficacious remedy for
reviving dying man after every other
means has failed. 1t is also employed
as n charm against evil influences. This
custom is probably alluded to in Psalm
lvi :, verse 8: "Put thou my tears into
n bottle" The practice was once uni
versal, as is found by the tear bottles
which are found in almost every ancient
tomb, for the ancients buried them with
their dead as proof of their affection.

drift OF cotton this season, and the ten.
dency has been southwark. The crop
has been augmented over eleven per
cent, yet the quantity of cotton carried
overland has decreased nearly 100, 900
bales from the figures of last year to
corresponding date. The principal de-
crease in this direction has been at st.
Louis, where there has been 10000 bales
less cotton handled than last year. The
shipments through Louisville have also
fallen off $4,000 bales.
Speaking of the eighth anniversary
next Monday of the settlement of the
Alabama town Of Cullman, the Mont
gomery Advertiser and Mail SAYS:
Eight years ago the town of Cullman
was wilderness it has now something
less than 1000 people, and the region
all round is settled by Industrious and
thrifty farmers. They are mostly Ger
man, and such has been the SUCCESS of
the pioneers that there are now almost
daily additions to the settlements, in
duced by the reports that have gone
from the pleasant homes of the settlers.
They by no means devote their we'll
titled lands exclusively to the culture
of the great Southern staple or to grain
They are growing small fruits and veg
etables with gratifying success.
The Palatka (Fla.) Herald states that
Mr.. w. P. Wright has bought another
slice Of Drayton island, 800 acres. Be-
fore the last purchase he owned a good
part of the west side Of the island. Mr..
w. has been in Florida for twelve years,
and was the first who introduced into
this section the business of market gar
dening. For the past ten years he has
cultivated vegetables for the Northern
market. He has had as high as fifteen
acres in cucumbers in one season. This
year he cultivated over ten acres to cab
bage alone. 1t may be said in his case,
at least, that he has ascertained the pos
tive reality of the vegetable industry,
and his testimony is favorable. The ad-
ditional 800 acres just purchased by
him is for vegetable growing. 1t is a
piece of low, rich prairie, which, in or,
der to render tillable, he is now diking
and draining
1t is stated by the Sandford ella.
Journal that General Sandford has
merged his large interests there and in
Middle Florida in an English company,
composed Of business men and capital
lists of high standing in England and
Scotland, and called the Florida Land
and Colonization Company Cimited), of
which he is president. The object of
the company is to continue the import
ant work of improvement and coloniza-
ton commenced by him eleven years
ago, and to extend it over a larger terri
tory with the larger means now afforded.
Sanford will naturally be the headquar-
ters of the company, which started with
capital of 1,250,000. 1t is already
proposed to increase it to $4,000, 900 in
order to carry out the various plans and
projects on hand. Until a charter is
| obtained the business will be carried on
under the direction of Gen. Sanford.
