A Premium for Corn.
Mr. Eihtor : I will be one of ten to sub
scribe $5 each as a premium to be given to
any one of the number for the largest yield
of corn on one acre. Land not irrigated to
have an allowance of sixty bushels to start
with.
The Editor of the Dkmockat is authorized
to hold the money 'until sworn statements
in regard to measurement and product are
produced and a decision made.
, "; ;) W. W. Piiifer.
Charlotte, March 24, 1879.
, , Encouragement to Farmers.
, The American Cultivator thus encourages
farmers: "In comparison with the long
continued prostration of other industries
and the severe depression of general busi
ness, farmers may congratulate themseives
that at leant, through the long hours of toil
and the practice of close economy, they have
been able to tsecure the necessaries of life
for the support of their families and them
selves.. ,A bushel of :corn is worth just as
much to-day in the feeding of a family as
ever it was, while it will buy as much sugar
or as many yards of cotton cloth as in the
average yeai, and it is only when sold for
cash, or when applied to the payment of old
debts that the farmer really suffers from its
low market value. Brighter davs are corn
ing and the severe lessons of economy and
struggle with debt will have a salutary ef
fect in avoiding new liabilities in the future,
and in making all classes more cautious and
more thoughtful in their plans."
Corn.
Indubitably the best working the corn
crop gets is that given before it is planted.
The better the condition of the land at the
start, the easier the after cultivation and
the more profitable the return. The crop
demands and deserves the best treatment,
the best land and the best manures at your
command. It is truly said of it that it is
"the sheet anchor of American farming."
Large crops pay better, too, than smalljones
in a comparison of cost. While corn is
largely a potash plant, it requires also abun
dant supplies of almost all the inorganic
elements combined in the food ot plants
Available mineral supplies must, therefore,
be present in some abundance to supply the
phosphoric acid, soda, lime and other mgrc
dients essential to its complete growth and
maturity. Good burn yard manure and
rich composts are equally serviceable, and
the crop is one taking grosser food than the
other more dainty cereals. The seed, the
distance of planting, whether in hills or
drills, vary in each locality ; heavier appli
cations of fertilizing materials being required
where close planting is adopted. Drill cul
ture is growing in favor, the product being
larger, and the ease and facility of working
greatly increased by the newly-improved
machines tor planting.
For manuring in the hill a mixture of five
bushels one of salt, one of plaster, and one
of line bone dust is admirable to give the
plant a start. Cultivator.
Raising Cattle.
The American Farmer makes a specialty
ol t lie heports ol Y ai mers Clubs, and
among many interesting facts thus brought
out is the growing disposition among cattle
feeders to abandon halters, stanchions and
stalls for open sheds. In this connection,
also, the remark is made that several of the
prize animals at the Chicago fat stock show
were reared and fed entirely without shelter.
We have always been an advocate of the
open shed plan of feeding as the best, most
economical and humane. i he sheds may
oe very inexpensive structures, to the pro
tection of which the animals may resort at
will in severe weather. In Northern locali
ties the case may be different. We observe.
also, that many judicious farmers are of
opinion that calves and sheep do better fed
on shelled corn than on meal, and many
seem to think all animals do better on raw
than on steamed food. Our experience is
that calves should never be fed on meal,
but that it pays both to grind and steam
for matured cattle. We are convinced one
great point gained by thorough steaming
is, mat thereby the vitality ol all weed
seeds is destroyed, and we believe the gain
in this respect will greatly more than pay
the whole cost of steaming. Certainly "a
steamer in the barn is the" most effectual
weed preventer in existence. In this way
especially may the garden be manured from
the stable without introducing weeds which
will require labor, expense, vexation and
loss in removing them at a later day. We
would be glad to have the experience and
opinions of practical men on all these points,
and they will be heartily welcome to the
use of these columns at all times. Virginia
.'Fanner.
Mules for Farm Work.
Wc incline to the belief that mules are
preferable to horses for larm work, for the
following reasons: They cost less in every
way. They eat less graiu, are less particu
lar about their food, and require less groom
ing thari horses. All this requires time and
money, and to the wide awake farmer time
is money They mature earl nr. A mule at
three years is every bit as good as a horse
at four years. The farmer saves a year's
interest on the capital invested in his beast,
to Bay nothing of a year's feed, for every
mule he raises and breaks. They are more
easily broken than horses, and when proper
ly broken and properly treated are quite as
gentle. Of course, the popular impression
is just to tlie contrary, but the popular im
pression is as wrong in this case as it is in
so many others. An ordinary mule may be
broken as well in one day as an ordinary
horse in two weeks. In most cases all that
is necessary is to hitch him up beside a well
broken mule or a steady horse, and set him
to work.. ( When once properly broken he
is less given to various tricks like kicking
in harness and running away than a horse.
He is safer for women and children. A mule
will do one-third more hard work and will
draw heavier loads than a horse. True, if
too much imposed on he will balk so will
a horse. There is no more need of having a
balkly mule than a balky horse. Moreover,
a male's average working life is at least 25
years double that of a horse.
Renewing Grass Lands.
T have received manv inauiries on differ
ent subjects, among . which is the best way
to renew old sod without breaking it up, to
i j . rnu: r r n .
mate gooa grass. . , iuib . ijucoiiiou x ui uvw
able to answer, for . experience teaches me
to turn it over, and give a thorough good
mixing of manure, one shoyelfull of loam to
nnp nf Inner, the whole mixed with salt.
The field is then reseeded with good orchard
grass seed ana clover, .at me rateoi it
pounds otthe latter,, ana 1$ or 4 pusneis oi
the former to the acre. Let the land be
thoroughly rolled before the seed is sown,
and afterwards harrowed thoroughly with
a fine tooth harrow until it is well covered.
I would not advise sowing any grain with
it. If for pasture, it should have a mixture
of different kinds of grass seed, but if for
mowing, I do not think it should have any
thing except the orchard grass and clover,
as the clover and orchard grass will come
in early in June for cutting, and in the Fall
will make fine feed to turn cattle on. A
great many persons will Bay it in wrong to
feed off the after grass, but my experience
is that the more you feed orchard grass the
more it will start out and become thick and
matted. , ,
The question has been asked what to do
in a case where there is not the dung or
compost. I certainly pay that I have ex
perienced the very best results from blood
guano made into a compost and spread on
before a rain torm. Country Gentleman.
Sandy Lamp Enriched by Clover.
When I have a piece of sandy land that I
wish to enrich by clover, 1 mow the crop
just as it commences to blossom, and let the
clover lie spread out on the land as left by
the machine. There is, I think, no loss ol
fertilizing elements by evaporation, while
the clover hay acts as a mulch, and the se
cond growth of clover is enlarged by it. I
mow this second crop again about the first
week in August ; then, when it is desirable
to continue the process another year, the
land might be plowed up in two or three
weeks, turning under the previous crops of
clover that are on the surface, together with
the green clover still growing. I believe
this is better than to let the clover exhaust
itself by running to seed. Joseph Harris.
Soaking Seed Corn'. lv soaking seed
corn for seven hours in a strong decoction
of chlorate of lime, corn can be forced ahead
to maturity two or three weeks sooner than
it will mature otherwise; besides it renders
the seeds almost proof agninst the depreda
tions of gophers. The lime warms up the
germ of the seed, and sends it up quickly,
giving it two or three weeks the start of
corn planted in the ordinary way, thereby
insuring again-t the frost at the close of the
season.

"Of Col. W. M. Walton informs us that
he sowed clover'seed in afield about fifteen
years ago, and since that time the field has
been cultivated each alternate year in corn
and wheat with very little show of clover,
but during the last Winter his boys have
been plowing deeper and better than usual,
and he was very agreeably surprised to find
this Spring a fine stand of clover on this
field upon which he had not sown seed for
15 years. He permitted it to grow and
thinks it cannot be beaten in the way of a
clover field anywhere. Morqanton Blade.

THE RISING SUN.
"Conquer by this Sign."
So thought Constantine when he became a con
vert, because a "Pagan" refused to absolve him
from the guilt of his crimes, and the "christian"
readily agreed, and specially manufactured for him
a "sign" by which he was to "conquer."
Henry the VIII in turn rejected Constantine's
tpecialty and became the "defender of the new
Faith" with his six wives, one only outliving him.
Seven hundred years before Constantine lived
Solomon, who built a Temple with out-houses,
court, &c, on 20 acres of ground, 700 wives, 300
ditto a good sized population to the acre. The
Queen of Sheba admired his wisdom much more
than his magnificence, and significantly remarked
that "the half of his greatness had not been told
her ;" but after he declared that "all is vanity"
built high places for the worship of heathen deities
and died. Napoleon Bonaparte, on his narrow
escape from the inflowing tide of the Red Sea,
while passing through on the spot where Pharaoh
and his horse perished, exclaimed: "If I had
perished Jiere like Pharaoh, what a text I would
have furnished Orthodoxy" and C. S. Holton to
advertise bis Confectioneries and Groceries at the

LIVER.
This important organ weighs but about three
pounds, and all the blood in a living person (about
three gallons) passes through it at least once every
half hour, to have the bile and other impurities
strained or filtered from it. Bile is the natural
purgative of the bowels, and if the Liver becomes
torpid it is not separated from the blood, but car
ried through the veins to all parts of the system,
and in trying to escape through the pores of the
skin, causes it to turn yellow or a dirty brown
color. The stomach becomes diseased, and Dyspep
sia, Indigestion, Constipation, Headache, Bilious
ness, Jaundice, Chills, Malarial Fevers, Piles, Sick
and Sour Stomach, and general debility follow.
Merrell's Hepatine, the great vegetable; discovery
for torpidity, causes the Liver to throw off from one
to two ounces of bile each time the blood passes
through it, as long as there is an excess of bile ;
and the effect of even a few doses upon yellow com
plexion or a brown dirty looking skin, will astonish
all who try it they being the first symptoms to
disappear. The cure of all bilious diseases and
Liver complaint is made certain by taking Hepatine
in accordance with directions. Headache is gener
ally cured in twenty minutes, and no disease that
arises from the Liver can exist if a fair trial is given.

The fatality of Consumption or Throat and Lung
Diseases, which sweep to the grave at least one

Opium or Morphine, or any preparation of Opium,
Morpnine or rrussic Acid can be found in the
Globe Flower Cough Syrup, which has cuied peo
ple who are living to-day with but one remaining

that Consumption is incurable. The Globe Flower
Cough Byrup will cure it when all other means

A GOOD REMEDY.
Giles' Liniment Iodide Amonia.
Medfobd, Mass., Sept. 18, 1877.
Mr. Giles Dear Sir: I have used your Iodide
Ammonia Liniment and find it the best remedy I
ever used. For a sprain or callous there is nothing
equal to it. My wife sprained her ankle last Sat
urday evening ; I used the Liniment as per direc
tions ; the second application was a perfect cure.
Some of my friends started last night for Johnson
count)', Kentucky; they have taken several bottles
with them. I have used it on my horses and it
works like a charm. I am going to Kentucky
next month farming. If you have any works
treating of horses and other animals, please send
me two or three copies, and obligeyours respect
fully, CHAB. W. FORBCBH.
Sold by all Druggists. Trial size 25 cents. Send
for pamphlet to DK. GILES,

Palace Organs
THE BEST IN THE WORLD.
These Organs, which many of the most eminent
critics have pronounced and which we claim to
be unequaled as regards general quality of ton.,
variety, originality and effectiveness of solo-tones,
elegance of external design, solidity of workman
ship and excellence of finish, have been recently
reduced in price, and will be sold at a minimum
margin of profit to the trade, making them by far
the most desirable Organs to gain control of tbt
are now in the market.
THE PALACE OHGAN
Is, without question,
THE COMING ORGAN,
Manufactured by the LORING & BLAKE OR
GAN COMPANY at Worcester, Mass.
Agents Wanted. Territory is being taken
rapidly in North and South Carolina. There it
still room for more. Make early application for
prices and territory.
