LAYING Ont the COrnfield.

Correspondence Michigan Farmer
Last spring recommended marking corn three
feet eight inches apart and gave as a reason that
this distance divided up the spaces between the
rows accurately, that eighteen rows forty rods
long made precisely an acre. which made it con
venient in determining the amount of ground
worked over in day; and also that at this dis
lance a two-horse cultivator would work the
whole space between the rows without leaving
ridge in the middle undisturbed. This year L
cut up the corn nine hills square, and, by acct
dent, as it were, discovered that the rows made
exactly forty shocks. l figured moment in my
head and found that the 3,240 hills to the acre
(which Iremembered) divided by the forty shocks
made eighty hills, SO that whether the rows
be long or short. if the corn is cut nine hills
square, every forty shocks will be acre
There is no other division into rows so near the
proper space for corn that will accurately sur
vey the ground, and nine hills square, where the
hills stand two three stalks, make a better
sized shock than a smaller number. Then by
husking four contiguous hills the weight
measure of the amount will give one tenth OF
of the produce of an acre. This is much more
satisfactory plan than the rough guess-work of
most farmers.

THE INDIAN QUESTION.
General Sheridan Agrees with the Views of
the Mohonk Committee.

General Sheridan Agrees with the Views of
the MohOnk Committee.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-In speaking of the
address made to the President yesterday by the
committee from the Lake Mohonk Indian con-
ference, in which they requested him to ask in
his message to divide the Ipdian lands in sever
atty so that the tribal relations might be
destroyed, General Sheridan said to-day: 81
have been advocating that thing for nearly
twenty years, and if my recommendations had
been adopted when / first made them, many
thousands of lives and millions of dollars might
have been saved. My plan is to give each fam
lily $40 acres and have the government buy the
remainder of the reservation at $1.25 an acre.
and pay for it in per cent bonds. The inter
est on these bonds would be enough to support
the Indians, edeeate them, civilize them, buy
them cattle and agricultural implements
and hire good men to teach them
farming. Take the Crow reservation
for example, where we have so much trouble
keeping the Indians on. 1t embraces 5000 600
acres of the best land in the world, owned by
about FIVE hundred families. Give each family
two sections and the proceeds of the sale of the
remainder of the land would be at least Sc co.,.
600. The interest on this would give about $500
year to each family, and that would give them
all the money they need. The same is true of all
the Indian reservations. There is not one of them
that could net be sold for enough to support the
Indians permanently, so that the government
need not appropriate anything more for their
support. Nearly all these lands could be sold
for 81. % an acre any time. and some of them
are worth So or $40 an acre.
st cost the government 5000, 900 to keep the
boomers out Of the Indian Territory last year
to keep settlers off from lands that are idle
although they are valuable; are bringing their
owners nothing. These lands, if sold, just like
the Crow reservation, would bring fund the
interest of which would support the Indians per-
manently. The Indians the richest land
owners in the country, but their property is not
bringing them anything"

MINOR MATTERS.
An Economical Comptroller Finds General
Raum Owes the Government 800.

An Economical Comptroller Finds General
Raum Owes the Governments $3.50.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE Second Comp.
troller of the Treasury has disallowed an item of
1920 in the accounts of Greene B. Raum, late
brigadier general Of volunteers which amount
he received as the full pay and allowance of
brigadier- general from March to March 81,
1865. ON the ground that while he was nomi-
mated and confirmed as brigadier- genera! in Feb
ruary, he did not accept his commission or report
for duty until March 81 The claim made on
behalf of General Raum is that he accepted his
commission as brigadier general on March or
3, and is therefore entitled to compensation for
the intervening time between that date and
March 81. The Comptroller says he finds no
iroof to sustain this claim, and he holds that,
ven if it is shown that General Raum accepted
ne appointment on March 3, he would not then
entitled to compensation for the period
named, because he was absent without leave,
and performed no military service. He there
fore concludes that General Raum is chargeable
with the amount in question.
General Raum hasiaddressed letter to the
Second Comptroller, fully explaining the matter,
and asking reopening of the case.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE court-martal at
Fort Myer. which tried eighteen signal-service
men on charges of characterization, found all
guilty, and sentenced them to be publicly repri-
manded by the Chief Signal Officer. 1t is said
that the court was satisfied that the offense was
committed in ignorance of the military law.
General Hazen this afternoon issued an order
approving the sentence, 'the publication of
which is considered sufficient reprimand for
men whose intelligence cannot fail at all times
to prompt the wish to do right" In the order
General Hazen says also: 'This seems proper
occasion to reterate the instructions of the Chief
Signal Officer, in 1882, upon the adoption of
listment in the Signal Corps"

vict sent to the pententiary for ten years. seven
months ago, from Carroll county, and who has
confessed to the murder Of Hiram p. Allen. re-
tired farmer of Sandwich, on the night of Feb.
Ia, 1880, was brought into court yesterday,
and in response to the usual interrogatories said
ne didn't wish an attorney and pleaded guilty.
On being asked by Judge Killom if he under
stood the full import of his plea. and that he was
liable to be hanged, Young replied that he was
fully aware of it and persisted in pleading guilty
Then, sir. said the judge, 'the court must say
this is among the most astonishing cases on
record. The idea of man coming here and en-
terlng this plea is almost beyond belief, and the
court will not enter the plea of guilty until he
has taken some measures to ascertain regarding
your sanity and see whether you are responsible
for your acts"
Young protested that he knew what he was
about, and wished to write out a statement but
Judge Killom would not accept his plea, and will
call special jury to test his sanity.

AS the so-called Latin Union has been suffi-
c :. Tor the purposes of the states composing
-, lnere IS no reason why the American Union
snouio not be sufficient to protect the interests
OF the United States so far as silver
Is concerned. All this folderol and
nincompoopery - this HANGING around
the back doors of foreign governments-has been
undertaken in behalf of the spectators who
have given Wall street its good name The mr.
pose of those spectators is sinister They pro-
pose to depreciate the silver dollar if thew can.
so as to realize profit ON
the vast sums Of gold which
their banks are boarding. The United States
Treasury belonging to the people. has been, and
is now, manipulating the finances of the country
to suit the views of these Wallstreet spectators
Under cover of the methods suggested by these
wreckers, a contraction of the currency has been
going on, the public debt has increased, the law
has been violated. and the interests of the peo-
pie have been sacrificed.
This is the plain English of Mr.. Jordan's man
agement of the Treasury, but it is only fair to say
thatthis mismanagefnent has not been materially
worse than the appointment of Mr.. Manton Mar
BILE to represent the financial interests of this
country abroad.
