Very satisfactory results, however,

C.rn-.Si,i ana Drill.

Much has been said and written,
of late years, of the advantages and
disadvantages of drilling corn. Fro"'
many long years Of experience in
hill planting, we were loth to give up
our old practice and try the new
We looked, in the first place, to the
great disadvantage in the culture
believing that it was almost impossi-
be to keep the weeds and grass out
Of drilled corn. That objection is
more imaginary than otherwise, for
by early and proper culture that diff
fculty can be overcome.
In the second place, the objection
that it makes tho corn too thick on
the ground, is no objection At all
The cid practice in hills was 70 have
from three to four grains in a hill,
and the hill about three feet eight
inches apart each way. Now that
amount drilled in rows would aver
age three to four grains nearly twelve
inches apart in the row. Then we
have t, c same number of grains one
foot 10y three feet eight inches evenly
distributed all along the rows, giving
each stalk an equal chance as to both
air and sun, but a greater advantage
in the accommodating of support both
from the soil and the atmosphere
Now this is far from being the case
whore three and four stalks are
crowded together in the bills, and as
consequence, one or more are sure
to make a nubbing or no ear ut all.
Then again, by being separated
in the drill, every stock is we'll devel-
oped, and produces full ears Of a gen
eral uniform size. As [ stated before

my prejudice was strongly.opposed to
drIiis, but with the experience /
have now, of the superior advantages
of drilling, l am firmly established
in the opinion that FROM ten to fiji

only being Of uniformed sized ears,

probably cut of mere deviltry, told
jim that Sandy was our fighting

"Slndy, I'm going to lick you till

SO away! I've nothing against
you" warned the parson.
SANDY, prepare to be driven head
first into the sile!" yelled jim; and
with that he spit on his hands and
turned on a full head of steam.
We were all there, you know, but
there was sort OF understood law
or custom in the mining camps that
fight must be fought out without a
third party chipping in. And be-
sides, some of Us bad a sneaking sus
pician that Sandy would astonish the
country If cornered and compelled to
use his muscle.
Big jim rushed in like a locomo-
tive going for spring lamb, but he
didn't get there. When he came
within striking distance, Sandy shot
out and keeIed him over in such style
that some one called for three cheers.

like Il streak Of creased lightning,
Sandy shot out with his left, and Jim
went down like 4 log and had enough.
Then who washed the blood from
his face? The parson.
Who brushed his clothes and
brought MIN drink? The parsom.
Who lifted him up and walked

"Durn yo' newspaper. That's
what say Talk to me about infiu,
ence-why they amt got any more
influence over people than a bed-bug
has,"
That's what he said, standing at
our front gate, last Tuesday even
inc.
He is one Of our staunch citizens,
one Of that class known as the back
bone Of society. That is to say, he
is one Of the class noted for stub
bornness and unprogressivencss.-
Your "backb1ne Of society" men are
always stubborn and progressive.
Having delivered the oracular
words mentioned, he shufled on up
Triple street home.
When he reached home, he walked
up stairs to his room, pulled of his
boots, settled back comfortably in his
chair and glanced around the room.
His eyes rested on copy Of last week 5
Messenger, and upon that particular
spot in the Joke column beaded "a
remedy for corns." Ele picked mp
the paper and read, "If YOU are suf-
fering with a corn tie string around
it and attach stone to the ether end
Of the string, and drop the stone out
the window. Instant cure guaran-
teed."
Now he had a corn.
A great big, eternally painful
corn.
He couldn't give reason for it
next day, but he concluded to try
that remedy.
He found strong twine string,
went down in the yarl and procured
ten pound stone, returned to his
room, tried the string around his
corn, and stood up in the middle OF
the room ready for action.
Balancing the stone in his hands,
he counted lend, two, threel" and
pitched it out the window.
The result was surprising.
The weight of the stone tore the
corn out by the roots, and jerked
him flat on the flor. He rolled
over and over toward the door, yell
ing and crying with pain.
"Murderl FIRE. Thieves Jimmy,
oh, Jlmiayl The devils to pay up
herel Run for DR.. Nisbut! Put me in
bucket Of cold water! OF the IN
dignationl"
Oblivious to everything except the
pain, he hadn't Fean very particular
as to his movements; and, before he
knew it, he had rolled to the head OF
the stairs and stared head first toward
the bottom.
1t didn't take him long 70 get down
and when he got to the bottom he
was met by an infatuated female who
pulled his hair, kicked him in the
ribs and finally wauud-up by sitting
on him.
1t was his wife, upon whose head
the stone had fallen.
In the course of time things got
quiet, and as he stood modify at the
front door he remarked, seemingly to
the wide expanse Of the skies.
