Save Seed Corn.

A correspondent of the Hamilton
Freeman gives some good advice on this
subject rs follows: ''As the Western
and Middle States lose annually several
bushels of corn by planting worthless
seed, and rs the proper time to gather
the seed is being discussed through the
agricultural papers, many contending
that huslsing time is tho time to select
the seed. But must differ with those
who recommend gathering seed corn
after we have had our heavy Tor corn
killing) fall frosts A sure way To have
good seed corn is To go into your corn
field when the husk begins to ripcn OH
the earliest ears, and select the ripest
and fairest ears, and by pursuing this
course, improvement in quality and
time of ripening will be the result. If
il is picked before the cob is dry il
should not be piled up in n heap TO heat
and spoil. Corn that has been heated
will not germinate. Leave n few husks
to each ear, and either tic or braid
them together and hang them in the
| loft of your barn, nI other outbuildings,
or make u scaifold and lay small sticks
or lath to hold the corn, and don't lay
| too close, SO that the air has good cir
cuiation through and about your seed
corn. Your loft must he well ventilat-
ed, and the ventilation should be left
open until the corn is thoroughly dried.
| As soon rs the corn is out of the milk
it will grow, if well taken care Of. n ]
know by experimenting with large Ohio
and Missouri corn. II it is not thor
oughly ripe IT will answer just as well,
and the kernel will decay sooner, and
birds and squirrels will not bother it as
| long; but don't stow your seed very
close overhead to your grain bins or
hay-mow, as grain and hay are liable
TO heat, and thus spoil your seed unless
your ventilation is very good. ! have
gone into my corniield and gathered
my seed between the 1st and 10Th of
September for The last eleven years,
and have never had poor stand Of
corn in that time, and / have this year
also had good stand Of corn, whilst
most Of my neighbors have either had
to replant or have a poor stand. IL
pays to look well after your seed corn,
and plant less crib corn. Gather your
seed early; plant early; tend early and
late, and with fair season your chances
to get good crop are excellent. Save
the seed early and take care of il well. -

The following facts, though not as

our knowledge in relation to Hon.
Sidney I. Holmes, formerly of Madi-

tEict in congress for the term. includ-

Holmes, after the expiration OF his
congressional term became the busi-

our recollection. Among his pecuh-
arities was his fondness for hunting,
and for this purpose he kept fine
pack of hounds which, as occasion pre-
sented, he followed in the chase. Some
weeks since his dogs, for some cause,
engaged in a furious fight among them
selves. The judge hearing the noise
went among them to stop the fighting,
when they turned upon him so terribly
that it was expected he could never
recover from mis- wounds. While the
brutes were tearing him with their mad
and appal emily blind fury, they seemed
suddenly to discern whom If was they
were rending, and they commenced TO
lick his wound, running around and
jumping at and over him, whining
piteously and manifesting all the de-
votion for him that It was possible for
dumb animals to do. The judge, after
