means of voting, without fear or favor,
for The man of his preference. They
desire ballot that is not snare
or trap devised to catch their votes for
some person or persons for whom they
did not intend or did not wish to vote.
That is to say, they are in favor of a
ballot, containing the names of can
didates nominated in the light of day,
with proper elaboration, and at suf-
fcient length of time before the day
of election as to secure due publicity

A Farmers Experiment.

4 correspondent of North Carolina
paper gives the following account OF
his experiment in planting corn: l
WAIT o give the farmers the benefit OF
d little experiment that l made with
guano last spring on corn. The land
was checked 4 feet one way 3% the
otner. used one sack pntting it in
the check or every other row till 1t
gave out. / had 48Tows with guano by
the side of 49 rows without. In two
two weeks after the corn came up the
fertilizsd rows began tc show, and by
the first of June they were foot high
er than the one by their side. l gath
cred two rows and weighed one row OF
each. The row no guano weighed 6l%
pouGds; the one with S612 pounds, a
gain Of 25 pounds to the row and in Al
rogs made 1924 pounds or tx bush
els of corn more by using one sack of
guan0. Counting the guano at $3.50
aud the corn at 50 cents. I have clear
profit OF S6.25. | a'so tried the dit
feFeEcs between two stalks in hill
ard one. The rows without guano
side by side one STALK weighed 6l12
pounds and the other with two to the
h,ii weighed 731a pounds. With guano
the slngie SOW weighed o61s with Two
stalks 941s pounds. You Will see that
the rows with two stalks weighed a
few pounds the most, but in the single
rows l had just half the number of ears
and the corn was worth more than the
corn in the double rows. It pays to
thin well.
