has been steady for a month past, and

month previous a gradual advance oc>
Cured, and quotations now vary but
little from the figures ruling about the

demand is slack at all points South,
and this with decreased export
movement, together with tiatteriDg
prospects for a big corn crop the en-
suing autumn, influences a desire on

The ,DisestabIishmept Of BELLS

Ial London Law Journal. ua|
The Law has. in the matter of bells.
iss regard for the nerves than regard
for the privileges OF religion. Secular
bells of all kinds have one by one
been disestablished in the metropolis.
The muffin bell together with all other
noisy modes OF advertising wares, has
been ip th ory at least, silenced. The
call bell tor ripping EOFkmeH up to
time is prohibiteo like steam Whistles
and horns, used for the same purpose
without the sanction Of the sanitary
authority. MUSICAL hand bells are Tia.
BILE to the same suppression SO street
hand organs. the common enemy Of
all MANKIND who live above the
basement floor. Church bells
alone, except at one time the
prthordox bells Of Roman Catholics,
have bsep gubiected to no statutory
repression. bells in their purely
m;;..aiCal function may, # they pass
the bounds OF Il tScc definition ofnuisance
be restrained by Injunction, as aaD>
peRed in the we'll known case Of toe
Roman Catholic chapel at Claphsm;
but the passing bell, the funeral bell,
and the pell for service are not only
allowed but erjoined by the canons.
Some repressions on these most annoy
ing forms of ringing may fairly be
esKe9, Passing bells may well be
dispensed with altoVether in towns,
aud lineral bells In tas neighborhoou
Of houses night, without improperly,
be quircd to be closely muffls cd.
Better reminders Of mortality are
found nowadays in the columns of the

To gather much with small labor

borS The farmer who gathers ten
or fifteen bushels of corn from an
acre which he has plowed and turn
ed over ten or fifteen times is GER
tainly giving much for little. If
that is his farm economy he is pay
ing for the whistle. Another piece
of economy like unto this is having
the weeds, briars and large bushes
SO thick along the hedge or fence
row that he cannot pillow nearer to
them than the length of his horse,
traces and plow. Around 20>acre
field this will probably take up >
acres of his best land, and yet he
calls that 20 acre field of corn.
Sometimes we have seen the best
land throughout the length or
breadth of large fields nearly naked
but we'll plowed ell summer on the
sides next the swamps or forests.
The shadows of the forests on the
east in the morning and on the west

far into the fields as to forbid any
kind of crop nearer than from fifty

invarihly scrapes with his fore feet,
kicks at the stomach and shifts about

down, rolls, remaining for time on
his back, and breathes heavily
throughout. At q recent meeting
of the London Farmers Club, relief

gentleman who has been all his life
among horses. When the horse
shows the symptoms of an attack OF

TO ponder over. Mr.. Dan Smith,
who lives on the old Elijah Black

to submit to our pumping, and gives
us the following facts concerning his
crop: l plant my corn, says Mr..
Smith, "always from the first to the

the first to the 10th of April. In an
swer to our inquiry how many acres
he had in corn and how many in cot

the fifty four acres planted in corn
which | MANFRED with cotton seed

Mr.. Smith has been good enough to

$3.50 for the small houses and the
amount, clear profit, foots up the
neat sum of S3,017 for one year
Mr.. Smith has several tenants who
have made splendid crops under his
and he will realize
right nice little sum from these. -
Mr.. Smith is a young man, not more
