Careful farmers (says the Ameri-
can Cultivator) should always select
their seed from the best-manured
stalks select yet standing in the field.
There is no doubt that difference of
ten per cent. could be made in the val
ne of the crop in one year by judi
cious and careful selection of the seed,
and should this course be pursued for
series of years, large increase
could be made in the crops of corn of
almost any good variety.

THE ELECTIONS.

This being an off year in pol. tics but
little interest had been manifested as
to the result of the elections held in
| the different states last Tuesday, ex-
cept in New York, which was watched
with considerable interest as it was
thought the result would show the
| fealty to party, of the Conklingites,
and indicate to a certain extent the
judgement of the people as to their
opinions upon the Senatorial contests
held in that State during the past sum-
mer. The result at present writing
indicates the election of the Demo-
cratic State ticket by a small majority
and large Democratic gains in the
legislature. The Senate will be a tie
while the Republicans will have a
majority of two in the Assembly.
With the exception of New York and
Wisconsin expected results come uni
formly. Pennsylvania went Repub-
lican by nearly $4,000. Wolfe the anti.
stalwart candidate polled 10000 votes
which his friends regard as a great
triumph. In New Jersey and Connect
lieut. the Republicans have probably
carried both houses of the legislature;
Massachusetts, went Republican by
IS, 900 re-eleeting Gov. Long. Virginia
went Malone; Mississippi elected Lo-
wry, the Democratic candidate. and
Minnesota elected the entire Republi-
can State ticket by large majority.
