Improved Seed Corn.

From the Home and Farm
AL intelligent farmers know some
thing of the Importance OF planting
good seed in raising the various crops
usually grown on the farm. One OF the
first requisites in the production of
good crop of almost any kind is to use
coed seed The corn crop IN the United
States is of such vast Importance that
the seed used in planting can hardly be
selected with too much care. Corn may
be vastly improved by mixing different
kinds together, and all that is necessary
to do this is to select any two kinds that
may be desired and plant the different
kinds in alternate rows, and at tassellng
time watch closely and cut out all the
tassels as soon as they are properly out
in all the rows you wish improved. The
ears on the mutilated stocks are then
necessarily fortified by pollen from the
stalks in rows containing the other va
riety, hence the mutilated stalks yield
the improved corn. This IN turn
NAV be mixed in similar manner
the next year, with any other
variety, or any other variety mixed
with it that may DO desired. Thus, by
careful and judicious selection OF va
rieties best suited to climate and soil,
any planter may obtain the healthiest,
the most prolific, and in every way the
best variety, perhaps, it is possible for
him to set. AS matter of course, this
whole process for Improvement should
be conducted on a plat of land separat-
ed from where any other corn is grown
sufficiently far us to insure an admlXture
with it. L adopted the above plan
sometime ago, with view to obtain an
improved variety, and l am free to con-
fess that the result is somewhat sur
prising. 1 am unable to state with ac-
curacy the advantage the improved va
riety has over the unlmproyed' put IL
certainly is very considerable. Some
of my neighbors have obtained seed
from me, and are pleased with it. Try
my plan brother farmers, and have no
doubt it will pay you largely.

Things in General.

The 'eYear Book" for 1885 places the
reserve of Great Britain, which the
Queen had just called into service, at
80. 953 of the first class and $500 OF
the second class. The militia are lOS,-
462 in number.
No machine of travel that man ever
invented can equal the speed of wild
fowl. The canvas back duck flies two
miles q minute. The broad bill goes
slightly slower. Teal can fly at the
rate of 100 miles an hour, the wild goose
about ninety.
A correspondent of the Buffalo Ex-
press quotes Chicago business man as
saving: "Chicago is mortgaged to the
East for over 800, 900, 000 Almost ev-
cry merchant has mortgage on his
store and on his house also. There are
no second mortgages, because every
body gets mortgage for as much as he
can, and there is not enough left to put
a second mortgage on. The rate OF IN
terest is higher than it is at the East,
because the security is not so good"
Statisticians show that the wheat
trade of California, Oregon and WASH
ington Territory with Europe give en-
ployment annually to more than 4OO
sailing vessels going round Cape Horn.
The average passage for each vessel is
about 16, 900 miles, IN an average time
of a little over four months.
Statistics just published show that
out of 10000 Germans who in the
course of last year became liable to
military service, considerably less than
IL per cent. were illiterate. OF the
Wurtemberg recruits, every one, with
out exception, could both read and
write; and it was only in the eastern
provinces and districts of Prussia that
anything approaching to an unsatisfac-
tory education average was observed.
ELSEWHERE the proportion OF illiterates
per 10000 recruits ranged from two
among the Badeners to seven among
the Saxons and eight among the Bava-
rians.

Great Damage 10 Buildings and Grow
Ing Crops.

A dispatch from Richland Centre, Wis,
saws: A terrific hail and wind storm swept
over this county doing tremendous damage to
growing crops, stock, timber, houses, and
other buildings. The storm was wide in ex-
tent and passed west to east. In many places
wheat, oats. corn, and all growing vegetation
was literally pulverized and driven into the
ground Incredible as it may seem, hailstones
fell that by actual measurement were foot
in circumference. Many sheep, hogs, and
calves were killed and cattle and horses badly
bruised by the failing hail. Roofs of build
ings were splntered and scattered. In sew
eral instances the hailstones went clear
through roofs. Thousands of lights OF glass
ON the sides of buildings exposed to the storm
were broken. The storm ragged with great
fury for over an hour, and at its cessation the
hail covered the ground in many places to the
depth of several inches. The wind also did
great damage by unroofng buildings, uproot'
ING trees, and destroying timber. Lightning
struck and burned a house in the town OF
Rockbridgc None of the occupants were IN
iured. 1t is impossible to estimate the dam
age done throughout the country, but IL Is
great The storm was the worst ever known

S,nnnnfhu for Riel.

In the house of commons at Ottawa Mr.
Wilfred Laurer, a ch-Canadian member
called the attention of the government to the
cruel treatment reported to be inflicted on
Riel in his imprisonment at Regina. Mr.
Lautier thought there was no necessity for
Riers being manac,ed with a ball and chain
attached to his ankle. Sir John Macdonald
pointed out the lack of a safe place of imprls-
onment at Regina, but said that he would tel
egraph for information and il Riel was treat
ed with unnecessary severity the matter
would be remedied. Archbishop Tache re-
turned here yesterday evening from Winni-
peg. He denounces the folly of RieTs con
duct and has no sympathy with the rebel he
regards him as an evil TO the church ana
can develop his ambitious vagaries.

clothing took fire, and the father, in

had his clothes set ON fire. Herman,
an elder son, aged 80, and Bertha,
