"HOW TO RAISE BIG CROPS,

To the Editor Of The Morristown Gazette:
Some of your readers will know who
it is that asks you to publish the article
copied below, from having heard him
talk on the subject.
copy the article from the Scientific
american. 1t was originally published
in The Milling World
Two better authorities on such a sub
ject could not be found. The article is
worthy therefore of the careful atten-
tion of farmers. | remark that il does
not give the result of a mere expert
ment, but it details the constant prac-
tice and the wonderful results reached
in the fines wheat producing country
on ,arth:
''It has often been asserted by advanc-
ed agriculturIsts, that il wheat, either
spring or winter, is sown in drills, far
enough apart TO admit of using a horse
hoe between the rows, both TO keep
down the weeds, aud loosen and aerate
the soil, the yield might be increased
is in this country.
In proof Of this, a recent ebservant
and intelligent traveller in Belgium,
gives the mode of culture there, and the
yield, which sometimes, with very ia
vorable weather for harvest, reaches as
high as one hundred and sirty bushels per
acre.
Winter wheat is staple crop there,
on their high priced small farms Of only
an acre or two.
The land is highly MANFRED in au-
tumn, well narrowed several times, and
got into the best possible condition.
The grain is sOwn in the fall in seed
beds, very thickly, on the highest and
best location.
IL the spring the main fieldsRre again
dress up and marked out in drills the
proper distance.
When the wheat has grown sufficient
~ to be moved it is thinned out by be-
ing taken up, separated from the thick
stools, and planted in the drills. =
When the plants have commenced
growing, the soil is thoroughly and con-
stantly stirred, either by means Of hand
or horse power.
Every weed and all foreign plants are
destroyed, and nothing but what is
wanted, the article itself, is allowed to
grow. There is very seldom any extern
sive failures Of crops thus carefully and
scientifically grown.
The yield is a quantity never imagin-
ed CT heard Of in this country, and the
crop always and surely pays the Guilt
vator"
Now want to add. that some of our
mill owners or public spirited men
ought to offer prize of say 500 for
the largest yield of a single acre, or
half acre of wheat, grown in any man.

Be Wise.

The hot sultry weather of summer is
upon us, and it is the part of wisdom
for all to be prepared to ward of the
many diseases which come with the
season. For Cramps and Pains in the
Stomach, Hart's Relief, the old reliable
remedy, is the best. For Diarrhe and
and Bowel Complaints, DR.. Lytle's
Elixir cannot be excelled. With these
tive remedies at hand, there is but very
little to be feared from the ordinary
summer complaints.

TO THE CITIZENS
Han1blen County.

The following text books were adopted two
years ago by the directors of this county for ex-
elusive use in our public schools
New American Spoilers,
New American Readers,
New American Arithmetics,
Mitchel's Biographies,
Buffers Histories.
The adoption of these books was a wise measure
and meets the hearty approval of Of myself and
all the teachers of the Institute in session at
Morristown
I, therefore, in conjunction with the teachers OF
this county urge the people to supply their child
rem with the above books, and no others on the
same subject, SO that uniformity may be reached
this year.
shall be glad to have the directors supply their
school-houses with the New American Reading
Charts and Mitcheli's New Outline Wall Maps.
Uniformity and better facilities for teaching are
the greatest needs of our public schools.
Very Respectfully,

But, say these gentlemen. we have
show of title, if so, it was procured
expressly for the purpose of robbery
proving malice aforethought. Are
they then any the less robbers?
Their work is wholly selfish and
imperriling as it does the most vital
interests of whole communities.
all must realize them to be most
dangerous and pernicious men ready at
any time to fitch the hard earnings
of any who may fall in their clutches.
They would have it understood that
our county cannot protect US.
With no semblance of equity on
their side, armed only with cunningly
devised bubbles, technicalities and
shams, they expect to force a sanction
of their villainous schemes and the
issuing of DEGREES to carry them out
against the people.
That techicaHties should be strongly
insisted on to shield criminals from
justice is not strange, but that they
should ever be the sole and successful
means of an indiscriminate robbery of
individuals and a serious check to the
growth and prosperity OF whole COM
munities, is outrageous and damna0le
Whether justice can be thus slaugh-
tered in her own temples at the behest
Of willy demagogues or not, two things
are certain, such characters should be
closely watched by everybody and
proper steps taken for self defence.
