A New Method of Harvesting Corn.

Large fields of corn are left out in
the stalk every winter because cold
weather and early snowstorms overtake
the harvester. Husking is hard,
tedious work at the best; if begun too
soon the grain is with difficulty kept
from heating and moulding, and if de-
layed too long the work is rendered
unusually irksome when not entirely
interrupted. Mr.. o. A. Hillman, of
Marlboro, Mass, has been trying n
new method which the NeO England
Farmer claims has resulted satifac-
torily. BY Mr.. Hillman's method, ac-
cording to this journal, there is little
needless handling of either corn or
stover. Instead of cartiug the shocks
to the barn aud sheds to bepulled over
and husked, lot of sacks are taken to
the field, with btIshel basket to throw
the ears into. All the ears worth husk-
ing are broken off from the stalks and
then the fodder is bound in bundles
suitable for taking up on fork. At
night the bags of corn are thrown upon
wagon and hauled to the barn, where
they are emptied quite thickly on some
spare floor, while the fodder is hauled
directly to the NOV or stack.
During stormy or cold weather the
husking is finished at the farmers lei
sure and the corn put in the crib. The
few husks remaining on the corn, be-
sides keeping the pile lighter and more
exposed to the air, seem to absorb the
moisture from the grain and cob AID
evaporate it away into the atmosphere.
It is claimed, says the journal quoted
from, "tLat corn ears, if covered By
few of their own husks, will keep III
piles, under cover, very much better
than in piles of the same size with
the husks all removed, and our expe-
rience thus far seems to prove this
claim correct and We advise farmers
who still have shocks of corn in the
field to give this method trial"

at Ning-po and its waters. He is said
to have come within seven miles of the
town and levied blackmall freely. He
does not care for the Chinese gunboats,
and has had several engagements with
them lately. A reward of $1,000 has
been offered for the pirates head. An
encounter took place on Sept 15 near
Ning-po between the Chinese gunboat
and the pirates. Upward of 200 pirates
were slain or drowned themselves, nine
were captured alive, and about seventy
escaped. Eleven pirate boats were
taken. The pirates were in shallow
water, and the gunboats, being unable
to get near them, lowered their boats
and fought in them.
In France the Chambers were open
Friday and Gambetta was elected Pro
visional President.
In Germany the returns of the cleo
tons for the Reichstag show that the
Liberals have made heavy gains, that
the Government candidates were beaten
in the places where it put forth all its
strength to secure victory, and that
the jew baiters have been disastrously
routed.
In Ireland DIR. Fitzgerald, the Cath
olic Bishop of Ross, has published let
ter denouncing the no-rent manifesto of
the Land League. On Wednesday
several hundred farmers marched into
Tuam, County Galway, to prepare nc
tees for thesubmission of their cases to
the Land Court. Cheers were given
for the Land Act.
in Italy two small villages-C Claudio
and Valetta-have been destroyed by
fire. Three persons were killed and
eleven seriously injured during the con-
fiagration. Forty families are rendered
homeless.
On Sunday night burglars entered
house in the town of Varpalanka,
Hungary, and murdered whole family
of nine persons, including an infant and
man aged ninety years, while they
were asleep. No arrests have yet been
made.
in Ireland the farmers all over the
country are sending in applications to
the Land Count. The hierarchy have
taken a determined stand against the
no-rent programme, and the fugitive
leaders Of the agitation are losing caste
with the people. 1t is alleged that many
of the prominent agitators were secretly
endeavoring to obtain government situa-
tions for themselves or friends, and that
other members of the League were in
formers.

The following questions now agitate

A Soldiers Word.

A suicide under rather peculiar cir
cumstances is reported from the Aus
trian military barracks at Ofen. 1t was
the result of what the Austrian papers
call can American duel" but why
they call it so does not appear. Two
halls, black one and q white one, were
elaced in a covered hat, and each of the
principals in the duel drew out one,
with the understanding that the one to
whom the black ball fell must be num-
bered with tie deed within twelve
months. The year expired few days
ago, and on its last day the officer who
drew the black ball shot himself. The
day before he wrote a touching letter
to his adversary, praying the latter to
release him from the penalty he had in
Cured; but receiving an answer in the
negative, he killed himself. The sui
eide was committed in the barracks in
Ofen, and the strange part of the story
is that nearly the whole of the regiment
to which the officer belonged knew of
the duel and its conditions.
