The tendency of population toward the
cities, where thousands vainly expect to
get rich without work, contains elements
of danger. In 1870 one-thirtieth of the
population of the United States lived in
the cities in 1850. less than century later,
nearly one fourth of the population was
found in cities. Business panics and COM
mercial revulsions alone seem TO turn the
tide couu.ryward 1t would seem that
the comfort and comparative independence
of rural life would attract many from the
sham and glitter of metropolitan existence.
A meeting OF the special agents of the
department of agriculture for the New
England States, was held at the Parker
House. Boston on May % on the sugges-

S. l.. Boardman, Esq Among the other
able agriculturists present were T. S.
Gold of Connecticut, Secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture; Z. Hersey,
Mass, Hon. Henry Clark, Vermont, G.
H. Smith, Rhode Island and Arthur Clark
of New Hampshire. The convention
gave its time wholly to the details of the
work of the special State agents, in order
to secure greater efficiency and co-opera-
tions, and can but be productive of the
best results to our agricultural interests.

DR.. Sturtevant, of the New York Ex-
pertinent Station, last year tested the
terminating possibilities OF corn, by
sprouting and drying successively seed
corn, till it had put forth sprouts five
times, His tests gave the following
results Of 100 kernels. the first time 100
per cent sprouted at the second test. 81
per cent; third. 81; fourth, 65; fifth. 20 !;
after all failed to throw out roots. The
practical bearing of this is that this power
in the corn kernal to regerminate after
drying enables us to plant more shallow
than is sometimes required for the securing
of permanent moisture to the seed in the
spring. While some corn seeds have the
power to push up through eight inches OF
heavy clay soil. yet our results last season
showed a quicker vegetation, and as we
imagined, a better stand from seed plant
ed ene-fourth inch deep than deeper. 1t
seems quite reasonable, in view of these
results, to reason that the compacting of a
fine soil about the seed is of more i'm.
portance than merely the depth of plant
ing. This, however, covers only one
aspect of the question, but one which we
deem interesting and as possibly proving
of value in further experiment.

IMPORTANT UNITED STATES COURT
RAILROAD DECISION.

In proportion "a decisions from United
States courts are obtained, the rights of the
people are m AIDE more prominent as against
railroad managers' claims. At the general
term Of the Supreme Court in New York q
decision was announced last Wednesday that
distinctly holds the roads bound 10 perform
public service, and that service Is not to be
made subject to the private interests of the
corporations. Last summer the freight
handlers of railroad baggage al New York
asked an addition to their very low pay.
This was refused, and the men struck, in
Consequence OF which freight was not for
warded, 10 the Inconvenience and loss Of the
public. An effort was made to compel, by
the force Of mandamus, the discharge of their
duty by the roads. This Judge Height
refused, deciding that the neglect 10 forward
freight was mere private wrong, mot such
public wrong az will authorize the issuing
of 3 writ of mandzmus." This was favor.
able to the claim Of the railroads The case
was then appealed to the Supreme Court,
which court in its decision holds that, except
in the matter of ownership, railroads are
public highways, and railroad companies are
public corporations. They exist only by the
consent Of the State, and the State cannot
grant them the right of eminent domain ex:
cept for public purposes. The acceptance Of
rights and privileges from the people impose
upon them well-defned obligations 10 the
people. They assume the duties and respon-
Eikilities Of common carriers. They are
bound to serve the people with due dill
gsnce, to furnish reasonable facilities for the
transportation Of freight and passengers at
~ times, To neglect to do 30 without good

cause is to neglect their Iut;ss as common

In the case before the court the msn asked a

the court, "unless forcibly interfered with,
the companies must perform their duties al

doued or suspended without the legally ex.
pressed consent Of the State" The court
further decided that thoee trusts were active

eca.ed until lawfully surrendered. A public
