«of the Tribune my experience in plant-| img corn in drills. In the same field - gisuted alternate rows in hills and drifled —that is one row ofdrilled corn smd one Tow of hilled corn. When it was six or eight lnehT high I thinned et the drilled corn, leaving about 10 ~ imches space between each stalk.

Lawxs AXD DOORYARDS.— To have a beautiful, smooth grass plat in your lswh or dooryard, an exchange says, meguires a careful preparation of the ground. All the old sod must be plow«d, or spaded under, and have time to decay; and then fertilize it freely with fine, well rotted manure, if obtainable; #f mot. mse superphosphate, guano, ' ashes, or any commercial ' fertilizer’ comtaining nitrogen or potash, the lat- - ger being best, and muriate of ‘potash, the most desirable. Thestable manure should be covered lightly—not over twoe or three inches deep; and the. semmercial fertilizers should be sown #t the same time the grass seed is, and Taked in, then roll the ground with a Huand roller, and the'work will be well dome, if you remove all the large lumps ot earth, or break them before the seed is sown, ahd wmake the plat swgooth, and free from stones and rubfash. The kind of grass seed needed, §s Kentucky blue grass and Rhode Isfand Bent, with ‘a little white clover seed. Some seedsmen recommend in addition, red top grass seed, which is - zood. The seed is kept already mixed %s seedsmen, especially for lawns. It must be sown very thick—four bush- * ¢is todhe acre, and sells at from $3.50 f3O 31 a bushel. It should be sown in April .or May, according to %; ‘but if the ground is not - reatiy at that time, the sowing should, ‘be deferred till early in September, except in the Northern States, where it may be sown at any time from May 1o September. e

PLaNTING POTATOES INlB77.—Last spring, says a correspondent in one of wur exchanges, I strongly urged farm«ls 1o plant more potatoes than usual,

as it was evident that the bugs would injure crops, and Isaid: “Next fall Zmd winter potatoes will be very dear;” and to-day in some of our cities they sell at five dollars a barrel. Now, I :ﬁgﬂng to give my readers advice for 1877. This year there will be a very large area of land planted to potatoes. Everybody who owns an acre lof land. will plgnt half of 1t to this «zop: and the bugs will be fought as potato bugs were never fought before; und ﬂaemfsnlthll be, if we have no severe drouth, a very large crop of potatees everywhere, and the prices next fall will be low; therefore, my advice #s, don’t make any exertion to raise a lmrge crop; but plant for a.medium roduct, planting early varieties, putiimz in the seed as the groudd will permnit, and fight the bués systemati«cally and eficiently. By planting earIs warieties, the crop becomes mature by the time the 'second hatching of

bugs takes place; and if you have de-

strayed the early bugs, your crop is -~ safe. Bat beware of early planting ~om land that is not well drained, either from the surface, or otherwise, as pog=toes in sach a soil, with two weeks . ®f cold, rainy weather, ‘would be liaSde torol. Paris green is the only de- - swrover of potato bugs that has proved %o be effectual. It will require from - feur to. six pounds to an acre, if the . Bmss are nul’g'erous; 'ang it ought to be purchased for 30 to 40 cents per - pound, as it sells at wholesale for 25 cents per pound. it A

- Now PraxT TrEes—The Steuben Republican says: This is the time to plant shade trees. There is nothing that adds' as much to the actual as ~well as the nominal value of a per ,som’s home premises as a nice, careful | distribution of good, healthful and ornamental trees. Every farm in Steub=n county should have its ornamentation in this way, around the locality. where the residence is. It costs comparatively little to do it, but it makes a jgreat difference in a very short timee, in the value of the place. It is no meager ten per cent. investment. It is much more than that. If you are %o live there and bring up your children there, if your busy wife is to’toil with you in advancing the interests of the family, you can never do so much o make it pleasant for yourself, your wife and; your children, as to have That home ornamented and made dear Ly the planting of'trees and makinga beantiful front ymld, and an avenue of trees for the publi¢ road by the house. | If you should ever/find it necessary to - “sell out” and move away, you can re- - alize a much higher price for the farm antl homestead, and it will be much mare likely to be purchased by a man of taste and means, if if‘has been well arranged and cared for in this regard. Se you will find in any ease that it will pay “big,” as the saying is—vea, very “big” to plant the trees. ' . Young maples, elm, box, cedars and other fine trees from the forests can et be obtained in this county inwundance for such purposes. ’lt will not e 50 easy, a few years hence, to get these trees. So it stands every man whe has a village lot for a home, or a farm upon which' he settles, to get _Shese trees, plant them, care for them ‘amd bave the benefit of them. This ~should be done right away. A year S s She ermts ot amisl]

* GmEaT YIELD 'oF PorATORS.—The ~ guantity of potatoes that can be grown | from one pound of seed, says an expeviemced writer, is astonishing, when . ®=wery eye is utilized to its utmost ca- . pmeity. I have long known that 600 ~@r 700 pounds can be easily grown - Trm one pound of most any variety; : u&m« of later years go K Bl & Son, st mrchants in h%ﬁ-ﬁv&m%m for

, i two new/varieT S B gvt oo petitors produced ¥¥om one pound o ‘\;m’:zﬁ%ﬁ 18, 1,511, 1,426%% and 1,280 pounds.&'he Ruby went up | to 1,982 pounds for the-first premium., and for the others, not varying muc!, from the ptodu?&f the Alpha. I do not consider this result as showing. the great superiority of these varief_ies over others "lg%elders; but rathe ras proof of vylfzt can be done with. oﬂe? pound of seed in skillful hands . In regard to the manner of cultivation, the report of the committes on j jrizes, shows that it is almost impossi ble to manure landtoo highly for ‘po tatoes; and that artificial’ watering may be. made more berneficial to a pota toe crop than rains, even when ther eis n¢ drouth. The manure in t!ie above cases was applied three or fc .ur inches thick to the land, and was ‘then spaded in, and ashes, bonedus! ~ lime and other fertilizers were also _applied, I may say without mercy! To plantan acre of land on thisAyste m, it would require probably $5OO vyorth of fertilizers, and an -expens e in' labor of $lOO more. The yield per acre with a full quantity of seed/ on the above system, would be pe/rhaps 1,000 to 1,500 bushels; but sufh “high” farm'ing wbuld be dange ious to farmers’ pocketbooks-and ban kaccounts. The | manner of planting in such cases as are reported above,. is to cut the potatoes into as many p ieces as they have eyes, and then to place an eye in a hill, the hills 'to b e at least three [feet apart; and perhiaps four feet apart would ‘be better, as: the object is to ,produce thé largest possible, without any regard whatever to the extent of land used. , ’

-+ CORN MARKERS.—Corn markers are, says a writer.in one of our exchanges, useful everywhere—with the farmer whd plants a few acres, and with him who grows his 50 or 100 acres, and uses a horse planting machine. For the farmer who plants but little corn, tbe following is the cheapest marker th’@t .can be made to be drawn by a horse: Take a joist, 3x6, and make three runners, each three or four feet lon’g,f%rqunding up the front ends on the lower side. You then take inch boards and nail them with ten penfy nails to these three runners, placing them three and a half feet apart, or wider if you please, from cePtre to centre. The nailing must be strongly done. The next thing to do is to attach a pair of shafts to it; and green hickory, oak, or other strong poles will ‘answer the puUrpose; and they. may be attached by boring inch holes diagonally through a piece of joist 4x4, to suit the position of the shafts; and then nail it to the top of the marker in a substantial manner from the under sides. Spikes might be used to advantage in securing this piece of timber. If the ends of the shafts be wedged in well, they will not get loose. This is'a marker that may be madein an hour or two; and it will make two rows at atime, one runuer following the outside ‘mark. A wheelwright could, 1? desired, make a runner on this plan, with a pair of shafts properly.attached, which would last a life time. Handles may also be attached to it, and the top so made that a stone weight may be laid upon it, and keep its position, if it should be needed to make the marks pl;lili)l‘. ‘ '

‘The same . writer says: that a much better marker may be maide to run on wheels, as follows:: Have two small wheels made, not over thiree-feet in diameter, to which put an axle of a length for four; rows—two made by the wheels and two by inside attachments, on the ends of which are secur-. ed a couple (one to each) of ordinary cultivator teeth, say three and a half feet apart, thus making four marks that distance from each other. A tongue for two horses should be made, also a seatforthe driver; and in its operation thre}g rows are marked at a time, one whegl going/in the last row made as a guide. ] 5 Still another way, but one. never adopted, is to get up something on the plan of an ordinary horse cultivator, Wil’,h. only three teeth, and'the.marker so made that it can be adjusted for corn, Or rows for :anything else, as for beans, turnips, ete. Such a marker would not cost over about $B, and it would be very useful. -

. Good ‘Advice, - EDITOR GOSHEN DEMOCRAT :—The old ‘saying is, “the early bird catches the worm.” DBut.let me advise all lovers of a clean, nice and healthy city, just for one week to get up at 5 o’clock, take your rake and wheelbarrow, and in less-than one week your lot, inside and outside, will look respectable. Strangers passing your place will generally pass judgiment upon you according to its surroundings. Do not neglect to plant trees. - See if one is la.cﬁing—if it is fill it.-up. .If you are too poor to buy them, take your shovel and go to the woods and procure them. Do not think you are too old to plant trees. - See that all your .unpainted fences are painted. Work notso much for looks-but for health, also. look to your wells, that you drinki healthy water. - See that your cellars are cleared of all decaying. vegetation; have them well aired and whitewashed. De not forget to drink sassafras tea twice ‘a day—don’t care what your. doctor says. Try anddestroy the rats around your premises. Elect good councilmen. - Do not keep your money in your poeket longer than you can help if you owe it. Buy.as much as you possibly can if you have the money. *By closely observing the above suggestions you will all feel -better and happier and live just as long as if you sleep till 7= o - EARLY RISER.

I noti¢e that the amenfled_ﬁsh law prohibits any fishing on our lakes and rivers, but in this part of the country the law is not obeyed, from the simple fact that a great many of our citizens depend on the fish to make a living, and besides there are no new fish in these small lakes to take out; so there is no necessity for the law in this locality. » : .

I wish to apologize for a paragraph which appeared in my correspondence which appeared in this paper on the sth inst., bearing upon the subject of cdmpufsory education. T did not at the time know all the circumstances, only of the debate and rumors of the other difficulty, and had not the least idea that a reference thereto would create any ill-feelings in the commurii;y. I feel sorry thatip occurred, and shall endeavor to set the matter right, hoping that those whom I would feel sorry to offend will pardon this slight error.

COLUMBIA CITY ITEMS. . Some fast young men living across Blue River, or what is termed “Fidleér’s Green,’, went into the passenger houseé of the Pittsburgh, Ft. Wayne & Chicago Railroad on Saturday evening; and, of course, having imbibed too freely of ‘fighting forty-rod, became boisterous, and being asked by the night operator to desist, they became desperate and wanted to fight somebody. The operator, Mr. Carter, told them to leave, when they made for him, when. Mr. C. in‘turn made for the offide and, securing his revolver, returned, when he was attacked .by the desperadoes. He imn;ediately brought his weapon to bear upon the foremost one, but it mjssed fire, whereupon he fired two shots without effect, and, as he was closely pressed by four or five, and his revolver almost wrenched from his hands, he got loose, ran into the office, and closed the door, but not without receiving several bruises on his face, and a contusion on his head, which ' was done, he thinks, by a stone in the hands of one of the roughs. It seems they would not leave the premises until they had kicked down the stove and broke in a number of windows. .The marshal had a warrant to arrest them, butat the present writing they are still at large. It is time that something was done with these men, as this is not the first nor the second time‘they| have disturbed the peace.

The needle will remain in the goods and not a single stitch will be lost. The pressure foot also raises go that the goods can be turred as pleased. This improvement is specially commended to leatherworkers of all kinds. § Reeee | ; : ; TOLEDO, OHlO.'AqEnst 21st, 1876.
