DIR. Sturteyant's late bulletin on corn
planting gives some interesting experience.
He finds that shallow plated corn, with
the soil firmly pressed about the seed
gives stronger and better plants than deep
planting In deep planting the plant
food contained in the kernel Is ne&tly or
quite exhausted before the plant gets TO
light, when II Is enabled to draw its food
from other sonrses. .,rbe root OF the
shallow planted seed passes downward IN
the form OF a tap root. and longitudinally
in the form Of tbrous roots, giving the
plant . secure hold Of the soil; and the
closest observation upon plants grown
from seed planted II various depths--from
one inch, two inches. etc, TO eight inch
es--showsd alike firm roofing snd power
10 Withstand the heavy winds which came
10 the sntumn." He found that corn plant.
ed with machine gave much better
stand than that planted by hand. This is
largely attributed 10 the fact than the
wheels passing over the seed after il was
deposited, press the earth firmly in con.
tact with the seed"

Skimmsd MIX for Hens and Chioksns.
There is nothing better Tor laying hens
in the spring than skinned milk, after
the cream has been taken off. We have
tried it several seasons with complete sue.
cess With the milk given fresh from the
dairy room every day, and the fowls will
need no other drink. and it will supply
everything required in the way Of animal
food. The pullets fed with milk and corn
and mixture Of corn meal and milk
through the cold weather, have given an
abundant supply Of eggs. Wheat bran is
also good article to mix with the milk.
1t is better to give the mixture boiling.
and to feed in a warm state, but this is
not necessary. We have also found the
milk to be one OF the best kinds of diet
for young chickens, soon after they came
from the nest, 10 promote their health and
rapid growth. Indian meal, ground
coarse, and scaldel with milk, is perfect
feed fer them. As they grow older, grass,
cabbage, or onions may be chopped fine
and added to the daily rations. A por.
tion Of the milk on dairy farms, usually
goes TO the pig trough, may be diverted
to the chicken coop with great advantage.
Eggs are worth % cents dozen lnd ponl-
try 20 pound, when pork brings but 10
cents pound. Am. APicuit,uist for May.

FEEDING CATTLE Il feed first in the
morning about daylight. and directly af-
ter feeding attend to milking. About 9
o'clock turn the cattle out to drink and
clean out the. stable while they are out;
then tie up again and give another feed.
II warm aud pleasant, let them out for
couple OF hours to sun themselves in the
middle Of the day; if cold and stormy they
are kept IN the barn. About sunset /
feed a good feed aud then milk, and, if
feeding meal give it to them ut night. l
find my cattle treated in this way are rare
ly sick and come out in the spring in q
good thrifty condition and on less hay
than when fed at noon. II any one has
observed cattle in the pasture, they will
remember that they feed in the morning,
and lie in the shade and masticate the
food thus taken into the stomach. and in
the afternoon fill themselves for the night.
Applying the rule OF nature to the winter
care, it has led me to adopt this rs the
nearest to nature that can nse. never
feed in the yard, for it does not do the
cattle nearly as much good, and portion
OF the iced is apt to be trodden under foot
and wasted. Mirror and Farmer.

The Mound Builders.
american antiquarian.

american A7lttQuGTtGn.
Ferdinand de Soto and his army
were the first to discoverthe mounds.
Mention is frequently made of them
by the historians of the expedition.
This mention is incidental and SO
connected with the account of the
people and the various incidents of
the expedition as to escape notice,
yet the descriptions correspond close
ly with the works as they are now
found. Some of the villages were
surrounded by stockades, and were
so situated as to be used tor deiences
or for Notifications, but large mum.
Der of them are also described as
having elevated mounds which we've
used by the caciques for their resi-
dences and as observatories from
which they could overlook the villa.
ges. 1t is not unlikely that some OF
the more prominent of these mounds
may be identified. There are many
such mounds described in the nara
tives. One such is mentioned in
Georgia, one in Alabama, and one in
Mississippi. One mound is described
around which there was terrace
wide enough TO accommodate twelve
horsemen. On another mound the
platform was large enough to accom>
modate twelve or thirteen large
houses, which were used tor the re
sidence of the family and the tenants
of the cacique. This was not far
from New Madrid, in Arkansas.
1t was upon the terrace of one Of
these mounds that De Soto stood
when be uttered his reproaches
against his followers, having found
out the dissatisfaction and revolt
which bad arisen among them. This
was after he had passed The Missis.
sippi River, and about the time when
he became discouraged in his fruit
les5 expedition. The narrative shows
that these prominent earlhworks
were associated universally with vii.
lage lite. Sometimes the dwelling
OF the cacique would be on The high
mound, which served as fortress,
the only assent to it being by ladders.
AT other times mention is made of
the fact that from the summit of
these mounds extensive prospects
could be had, and many native villa.

very rich. So one dark night he
came down from his den in the noun
tain and stole into the dwelling Of
the editor and then into the room
where he slept. The editor, being a
good man, slept as soundly and
sweetly as a child. The robber
searched all the place, but could not
find the Baskets of gold and diamonds
he had supposed to be stored up in
the room. He then put his hands in
all the pockets of the clothes of the
editor, but found no money in any
of them. The robber then stood for
time in stupor. He was like one
awakened from dream. He listen
ed tor some moments to the deep,
regular breathing of the sleeping eds
itor, and as he stood so he began TO
feel sad. The heart of the bold, bad
man was touched. Quietly he took
from his purse $4.75. placed the mos
ney in the pantaloons pocket Of the
editor, and softly stole from the
house. In the morning, when the
editor got up and put on his panta
looms, there was jingle as of money.
A look of astonishment came into
the face of the editor. He put his
hand into his pocket and drew out
the money. When he saw this great
wealth the knees of the editor smote
together; he turned pale, tainted and
fell to the floor, and there lay as one
who is dead"
"Ohl OIL grandfather, did they
catch the bad robber man and hang
him on a treeY'
"No, my dears, they did not catch
the bad, bold robber. He is still
living. From that day he reformed,
and got place as cashier in a big
bank, where you will be glad to hear
that he is doing wei and is greatly
respected by all in his church."
And the poor editor man, grand
father! What became OF him."
"Ah, yes, my darlings! l had all
most forgotten him. Well, when he
came out OF his faint, and his eyes
again saw all the money lying about
the room where it had fallen, he was
sorely perplexed. At last be ielt
sure it had been quietly placed 10 his
pocket in the night, by great and
rich neighbor who owned ran yard
and was running Tor the Legislature.
So for days and days he printed in
his paper whole columns d praise of
tss 5ieh peigh boz, Who was elscIed
my dears, do good actions Always
meet with their reward.
