SOD CORN.

There is perhaps no way in which
farmer can utilize his early spring
breaking to so good an advantage as to
plant it to corn. BY planting, we do
not mean dropping the seed in the fur
row and turning the sod over it; that
way of planting is sure to fail in pro-
ducing a crop. In the first place, the
sod is too tough to allow the corn sprout
to penetrate it in its upward growth,
and, therefore, the sprout has to take
lateral course and search for an open
ing between the sods. The consequence
is, that not one in ten grains Of corn
ever gets a sprout through to daylight,
and what does come up is of a sicl1ly
color and never amounts to anything.
The best way to plant sod corn is to
use common hand planter, and insert
the plunger between the II 1Grows. The
corn is thus deposited Where it can get
q foothold, as it were, to start with.
Enough loose dirt will fall between the
furfows to cover the seed, and as soon
as the field is planted harrow should
be used to further cover the corn, and
to level the sod down, if any were left
standing upon edge or only partly
turned down. Corn planted in this way
will do we'll upon sod. Last season,
many fields so planted yielded from
thirty to forty bushels to the acre,
while fields where The corn vas plowed
in scarcely yielded ten bushels to the
acre. Our seasons are none too long
! for corn, ard, therefore. we should use
an early kind Of corn and get it into the
| ground as soon as the weather will per
NIT It has been claimed by some that
sod corn pays better than corn raised
upon old ground, as it does away with
the necessity of cultivation, thereby
saving considerable time and expense
Thirty bushels of corn to the acre, al
so cents bushel, is pretty fair returns
from land that is being subdued, and
that, too, without any outlay, except
the time employed in planting and
harvesting. .-D0kOtG FdTqCer.

NO cIK1NCE TO SHOOT.

One Sunday afternoon, at hotel in
Alabama, we were talking about how
great disappointments sometimes soured
nan, when a chap who had been

over ipy the window turned around and
said:
"Gentlemen, you've hit it plum CEN

TOMEN OF HUNG4RY.

The women of Hungary are the most
magnificent specimens we have vet en-
countered. They are tall, stately Great
ures, with figures that the women of
no other country yet explored possess.
They have generally black, OF dark
brown, hair, regular features, with a
complexion that. is delight to look
upon. It is not the startling red and
white of the English woman, but deli
cate pink tint that shades off into a
pearly white, the blending so delicate
that it is impossible to determine
where the red ends and the white be-
gins. Their lips are invariably red-a
healthy, natural red-and their teeth al
ways regular and of dazzling whiteness,
their necks as graceful as a swans, their
busts magnificent, their waists small
naturally, not artificially so-hands and
feet very small, and always exquisitely
dressed. In two weeks in Stuhlweis-
senburg we did not see homely girl,
or one that would not attract attention
on Broadway. Even the peasant girls
in their enormous boots-the peasant
women all wear boots the same as men
the figures and faces we're pretty.
In the villages the dress is Partisan,
with slight notifications, but the peas
ant women still dress in the old national
style. Gaudy handkerchiefs make their
head covering, and they wear an enor-
nous number of petticoats, which swell
out from below the waist like balloons.
Their dresses are very short, coming
just below the knees, and large, clumsy,
leather boots in winter, and bare feet
and legs in the summer, complete the
toilet.-Ndsby in EGile.

EDTToRs .sND REPORTERS.

Says a Now York letter-writer: All
newspaper lAcn can be placed in one
line OF another. They are either editors
OF reporters. IN editor is not, as many
suppose, l. writer who gives opinions or
"views," as they are oddly named. An
editor is one who revises, corrects,
amends, curtails and gives out what he
OF others have written. A reporter is
not always simple chronicler of occur
rences. In what are called editorial
columns, the writer's take a fact and.
comment on it. In all great papers,
under the one editor there are aids who
are called editors, but who are simply
assistants, performing the duties for
which the editor is responsible, but for
the performance of which he has not
time.

RAILROAD SIGNALS.

The improvement of railroad signals
is q subject which has recently eDgrossed
inventors a good deal. Not long ago an
ingenious contrivance was patented by
resident of New Jersey to obviate the
evil of color blindness in engineers, to
which large number of railway acci-
dents are attributable. Another Jersey
man has obtained patent for another
sort of signal for use at switches, the
device being designed to afford addition
al security against accident by giving
warning to approaching engines when
switches are open or misplaced. The
new signal is operated in connection
with the ordinary safety signals, and is
worked by the usual switch-operating
machinery. The signal is provided
with an apparatus called turning
dog" which is placed near the track rails,
and is operated simultaneously with the
switches, turning whenever they are
touched, either by accident or design.
Levers are placed upon engines, where
ever this signal is in use, and are SO ar
ranged that as the train approaches to-
ward switch that is open, or out of Or
der in any way, the lever encounters the
turning dog" This presses the leve,
and causes it to strike gong on the en-
CINE. As it is impossible for this occur.
ence to take place where everything is
in readiness for the train to go ahead Oh
its way, the engineer knows, the mo-
ment he hears the gong ring, that there
is something the matter, and brings his
train to stop, the warning apparatu;
which strikes the gong being situated a
a sufficient distance from the switche!
to allow ample time for the engine ant
cars to come to full stop before thu
point of danger is reached. It would
appear this device affords an effectua,
check against dNnger now more or les!
frequently encountered through th'
carelessness of switchmen, and is calcu

THE BUILDING OF HOMES.

Double doors-folding or sliding-are
great social "institution. By them
two rooms may be thrown into one. A
good broad hall becomes in summer an
extra room. The air circUlates. There
is freedom, an openness about the
house, which gives an air Of superiority
to even very humble dwellings,.
The superiority is real, too. If We
invite few friends for the evening, it
is not necessary to confne them to the
"parlcI, brr the doors are thrown wide
open, oar guests Will fill TIE parlor and
hall and sitting and kitchen, per-
haps, a:iI yet all ere one COMPANY, foc
the hIc:.l doors heing open the whole
house is thrown together. Music sounds
through such a house delightfully."-, and
people have a good time and love to
! come, because it is 50 cheerful aa&
social.
Another point in our lone su.a--@
which we too often ovcr'uoa Is ta
exposure Of the principal liz, al.
! sleeping rooms to the direct influence oi
| the sun. The effect Of the sunlight is
best gained when the house stands with
! its corners toward the cardinal point,
! for thus the sun shines with considerable
power on all sides of the house every
clear day of the summer, and yet his
power is broken, because at monday the
rays strike two sides obliquely, and very
soon leave the southeastern side in the
shade. We should not forget that the
sunshine is healthgiving dampness and
shade, if slightly in excess, injure the
| health of both men and animals.
One thing more is the importance OF
| having some provision for fire in the
chambers.
The best mode of heating no doubt is.
by an open fire Of some kind. Tt is very
easy in building to make open fire-p places
in at least three chambers through
which the chimney passes.
Of course open fire-places are not
economical of fuel, but IN the chambers
fire is seldom wanted, and stoves may
be used, if preferred. As to the economy
! of fuel, builders as well as architects an6-
proprietors either frequently overlook
one important fact or they do not look
at it; that is that the warmest part of
any room is furthest from the floor; so,
if we make our rooms ten or eleven feet
high, we must heat the air in all that
upper part before person sitting at
table begins to feel at all warm, unless
he is where he gets radiation from the
stove or open fire. Low ceilings effect
the greatest economy of fuel, and even
make open fires economical as compared
with stoves and high ceilings. Nine feet
is, [ think, an extreme height for the
ceiling of an ordinary country house,
say one in which the largest room is not
more than twenty feet square, or OF.
| equivalent area. "A Farmer, in Anaer5-
