Is Just commencing. II is understood TO
be paying nnely. The nails are the best

very superior iron from which they are
made.
Is il 70 be wondered at that the people
went wild over the prospect Of the citys

called upon the manager Of the smelter
and after introducing myself, remarked
a" am here on business, and incidentally
gathering information for the press Any

in no way injure your business, would
gladly receive"
We could give you no items whatever.
We are a quiet sort OF folk, and don't care
10 advertise. The miners soon learn where
they can sell their ores TO the best advan-
tage"
Every general question l asked was met
in the same spirit. and the manager turned
70 his work. remarked, on rising
Well, sir, there is one merit TO our in
teryiew-it Is soon ended"
II IS very evident that the net profits OF
this smelter best not be known to the
world. But the newspaper man who goes
with eyes and ears open gets at facts at
last, without half trying. The very Sc
cretS that were most jealousy withheld
came 10 me at last-namely; that certain
shipments OF ore have contained one for
tune for the shippers and larger one for
the smelter. The astonishing figuers may
best not be given. The smelter is on a
steep hillside which enables the company
20 simply empty its Stag down hill. Trains
OF cars load and unload in the very midst
of the works. Lead products, including
lead pipe, are largely shipped and white
lead is likely to be made some day. The
Smelter is run largely by Boston capital,
and is splendidly managed financially
running night and day with three shifts OF
workmeu. The efficient manager, who had
no information for the DEMOCRAT, is said
to have salary OF ten thousand dollars
per annum. The workmen like him very
much, those who know him personally;
but many others feel that their noses are
on the grind-stone, and little mercy is
shown them. One can but respect man
ager who feels bound TO make the business
pay the investors. Several of these Pu-
eblo men are reported to be worth mil.
lion OF dollars each.

Selecting Seed Corn.

NJ H. ZeLlaer in Southern C,tttt0ator;5
In the October number, l think,
YOU seemed to favor the selection of
seed corn from stalks with pendant
ears. l think it probable l have
made more experiments with corn
than any man OF my age, (57 years
old, } and if settled any one question
beyond doubt, it was that pendant
ears, however desirable they might
be in other respects, would not do to
depend upon tor the largest yield.
AS to number OF ears, that depends
upon quality of land and quantity OF
manure l prefer, tor very rich land,
a variety that will, with good dis
tance, produce two or three suckers
to each stalk. with six or eight large
ears to the hill. l succeeded, after
thirty years. very close selection, in
producing such variety, but lost seed
of it by an overflow that destroyed
my entire crop. For poor to good
land, only one ear should be thought
of, unless great distance is given to
each stalk. From the closest obser.
vation tor thirty-tive years, think ii
| safe to say that it does no good to
null suckers off. If land is mach in.
clined to produce suckers, give plen
ty of distance and let the suckers
produce ears-it saves greal dea
of hoeing. I have often produced

Population for the South.

Richmond, "a, Industrial South.
Along with dollars and cents there
is another species OF capital needed
in the South, and that is population;
tor in developing the resources OF a
country muscle is as necessary as
money.
The North has plethora OF pop.
uiation; and under the new order of
things since the annihilation OF the
institution Of slavery, there is no
earthly reason why Northern men of
enterprise should not turn their eyes
eagerly toward the SoutE; tor in the
old slave States there are not only
productive lands that may be bought
more cheaply than in the Northern
States, but there are vast primevaI
forests of valuable timber, rich min
eral deposits Of almost every descrip.
ton, water courses equal to those OF
any other region of the world, apd

timable for healthtulness and COM

Northern manufacturer whose busi,
ness is disappointing him in its prot
its should come down into the South
and with his experienced eve look
around for raw material, for sites, for
shipping facilities, and we are quite
sure that he will find himself dis
posed to become Southern citizen,
And so with the farmer, too, in the
North; if he will make little incur

cannot tail to be favorably impressed
with the low price of lands, with the
varietyiof crops they may be made
to produce, and, generally, with the
means OF access to eligible markets.
The short, mild winters and the ear
" springs of the South will surprise
him into a recognition OF the great,
fruitful fact that as much open air
work may be done in two years at
the South as in three years at the
North.
ltis no matter OF wonder that the
attractions of the South were so little
understood by the North while negro
slavery existed; tor the two sections,
except that they acknowledged the
same general government, were all
most as separate as any two Euro
pean countries with contiguous terri
