CULTURE OF CoRN.-The planting and care
of corn is an occupation that but few have
achieved full success in. True it is that it is
by far the largest cereal crop grown, but it is
as true that better care and observance of a
few 'sopen secrets would double the yield
without enlarging the acreage. Corn is of the
great grass family that are really ranked as
surface feeders, and when the roots are found
at any considerable distance below the surface,
it is because they have been forced down by
lack Of sufficient fertility at the top, the very
point where moisture, light, heat, and air, the
great essentials, along with fertility meet, or
should meet, and thus force the greatest
growth. If our lands could be so rotated with
crops as to prevent the growth of weeds, it is
very doubtful if corn would need to exceed
very limited cultivation, and that very shall
low. The idea of the root pruning of corn is
not now very largely indorsed, the roots them
selves being best judges of the food, amounts
needed to fully develop the stalk and grain
which they support. A seed bed four inches
deep made very mellow and rich, will give the
greatest yield of corn in return for the prepa-
rations of any of the many ways of growing
the crop.

HEALTH HINTS TO FARMERs.-Pulmonar
affections stand first among the four most
common diseases of farmers, and indeed OF
the community at large. Two causes are as
signed for this result. One is needless expo
sure to the wet, especially wet feet, and anoth-
er in bad posture. There is no harm in facing
all kinds of weather provided one is suitably
protected, but relying on his physical vigor
and endurance the farmer risks the wet and
cold without the wraps essential to security.
The theory of hardening one so to mind neith-
er wet nor cold is fallacious. No degree OF
health, strength or endurance is ever gained by
getting wet through, or chilled through and
through. The attempt to harden oneself in
this way is a hazardous experiment. The sec
ond cause of pulmonary trouble is a STOPPING
posture. Some work, like setting out plants,
spading, hoeing, moving and wedding, favor a
cramped posture, but none of them necessl-
tates it. Indeed, one can better bear any
kind of work if he keeps his chest expanded
and his lungs inflated. He can do any kind
of farm work better by bending at the hip
than by curving the spine and contracting the
chest. The French, Swiss and German farm
laborers are far more erect than American
laborers

INTENSIVE FARMING.-By request, says
the Eufaula Bulletin, we publish the following
extract from a letter from Mr.. Jno. H. Dent,
formerly of this county, but now of Cave
Spring, Ga, to Mr.. B. B. Fields:
ssLast year I rented out my farm, except. 80
acres, to a man in this neighborhood. He
cultivated 10 acres, 30 acres; on the in
tensive system, he on the extensive ; he ran
five plows, two, and I made more on 80 acres
than he did on 10; in fact it broke him. He
had to sell all his mules and crop, which did
not pay him out of debt. We both worked a
splendid set of hands all white men and
boys. He paid his hands fifteen dollars per
month and boarded them, and had to buy all
his corn, meat and hay. L paid my hands a
part of the crop, they boarded themselves, and
I selling them their provisions Of my own
raising. Now you see the difference where
one had to buy all the provisions he used and
pay money wages, and the other farmed On
the share system and had not to pay anything
out for food supplies. My hands and my elf
both did well at it. So you see the results OF
the two systems practically demonstrated.
We both had the same quality of land and the
same seasons. 1 manured my 30 acres with
manure of my own making, out of my own
lot, while he bought commercial manures for
his 10 acreS.''

SALT AS FERTILIzER.-The Massachusetts
Agricultural society has arrived at the follow
ing conclusions in regard to the manurial val
ue of salt That salt las the property of has
tening the maturing of all grain crops that
wheat on salted land will ripen six to ten
days earlier than on unsalted land, all other
conditions being equal, that it increases the
yield from twenty-five to fifty per cent. that
it stiffens the straw and prevents rust and
smut that it checks, if it does not entirely
prevent the ravages of the chinch bug, and
that there is no danger of mans pocket per-
mitting him to put too much salt upon his
land, as two barrels per acre will injure no
grain crop. The best time to sow salt is in
the spring, and it ought to be the first thing
done on either fall or spring plowing, as all af-
ter stirring of the land assists in its equal dis
tribution through the soil. The best and cas-
lest method of sowing salt, in the absence OF a
machine for that purpose, is to sow it from
out the rear end of a wagon, the sower using
both hands while the team is moving at a slow
walk In this way thirty to forty acres can
be sowed in one day. The quantity used may
be from $50 to 800 pounds per acre, but the
larger quantity is the better.

STAINED FLooRs.-Soft wood floors treated
in the following manner have given general
satisfaction Mix about equal parts of raw
and burnt umber with turpentine and japan,
adding little boiled linseed oil to prevent its
drying too rapidly have the floor perfectly
clean and free Of grease spots, as they prevent
the stain from drying, apply the preparation
with a well-wOrn paint brush, rubbing it across
the grain. In few minutes, say ten, take a
wooden rag and rub off all surplus color, rub
ply a coat of boiledoil This may be repeated
twice year-Spring and Fall-which is often
enough under ordinary circumstances. The
stain may be varied by using more OF less OF
either color. II dark rich color is desired,
add burnt sienna. With these three colOrs al
most any shade from oak to black walnut or
mahogany may be produced.-N Y. Tribune.
TENDER FEET IN HORsEs.-A writer in an

act remedy, and have long kept up it's use with
most excellent results. 1t is nothing more
nor less than about two inches OF dry, tbrouS

LAYER of straw on that, till it becomes trOd-
den down hard and smooth. Every day, and
generally twice day, the portion of it wet by
the horse is removed and replaced, but most
of the floor has not been uncovered Tor years.

A SOUTHERN CASE OF WITCHcRAFT.


eff the town of Salem, in Massachusetts, -
said Bob Billingsby, ''thinks she has had the
only witches in this country, all have to say
about it is that she is simply mistaken. Now,
there was old Brother McGraw and old Sister
Hutton"
Bob's story, in short, was thus Old Broth
er McGraw and old Sister Hutton were men,
bers of Philips Bridge Church. Brother Nc
Graw was consistent member, but old Sister
Hutton, to say the truth, was regarded some
what as heathen, and even addicted to witch
craft. A calf of Brother McGraw'S, of un-
common promise, dwindled in spite Of uncom-
mon pains, and finally died, and the good man,
persuaded in his mind that his neighbor, al
though spiritual sister, had bewitched it, set
out in his wrath for her house, and, taking her
by the hand, gave her violent wrench. Sis
ter Hutton reported the case to the church,
and, at the conference one Saturday, Brother
McGraw. being mildly demonstrated with,
went so far as to say that be would have to
think about it, The moderator blandly sug-
gested to him to withdraw for few moments,
retire into the woods, reflect and pray over the
matter. He did so. On returning, the mod
orator and the brethren were gratiied to OBJ
serve the calm regret that was visible upon
his countenance. This moderator was man
of power, both as to intellect and character.
1t was Silas Mercer. Then this dialogue en-
sued
'sMr. Mercer-"Well Brother McGraw, l
see you've returned, and think you've come
to just conclusion in the matter about which
you have been refecting.''
He looked inquiringly at the aged brother,
and the aged brother answered his inquiring
look with meek silence

suggested Mr. M, in a kindly, leading tone.
eyes, Bro. Moderator" answered the aged
brother, 'wery sorry I'm very sorry"
Yet there was some gruffness in his tone
which led the moderator to doubt the nature
of his regret.
Brother McGraw," said he, twill you let
the church know what sort of sorrow it is you
feel ? Is it godly sorrow, Brother Nc
Graw ?"
Then the aged brother lifted high his head,
looked the moderator full in the face, and an
swered: ''Bro. Moderator, Pm sorry-I'm
sorry-that 1 didn't break her neck. Ed
