§nt&tv. & 25 ens Mi. ~ M ANTTaxcTcoRN INTHITHTLL. f When manure is scarce and the greatest effect is demanded tne first season, or when corn is on a good sod, and a little start is wanted at first, or when the land is rather cold atul the season uncertain, it is best to manure in the hili for corn. If one has a fine compost, say of swamp mnck and manure, containing one-fourth of the latter, after marking out, a good shovelful may be dis tributed to three, or four hills, and the corn dropped directly upon it, If. however, the compost is made tip of ashes, superphosphate, guano, poudrette, etc., singly or mingled, it must be mixed with soil and covered with a little earth besides, or the seed may be killed by coming in contact with it. Such active fertilizers, and the list is large, must always be used with care, not to have the seed in jured. Yet they are needed close at hand, for the encouragement of the young plant as soon as it starts. Superphosphate, ashes, gypsum, soda-saltpeter, etc.. may be applied upon the hill after the corn is up, or, at least, after planting, with quite as good effect as if put in the hill. The list of concentrated manures which may be made on the farm, or bought, is quite large, and if any person visits the manufacto ries of various kinds in this vicinity he w ill often be able to secure much that, is of value to himself, and do the shoemaker, soap boil er, brewer, tanner, butcher, or glue boiler, a favor also.— American Agriculturist. GRASS LAND, HOW TO IMPROVE IT- If you ask this question ot many farmers, the only reply will be, break up and sod down afresh. Others will hesitate before giving this uniform answer. They will insist on looking at the land first, or at least will wish to know what is the matter with the present grass crop. Is some part of the field mossy or boggy? or does it grow certain coarse grasses which indicate undue moisture at the bottom? If so, their eyes will be opened, and they will reply, in medical language, that "underdraining is indicated." Nothing does the land need so much as this: nothing will do it material good, until this is first attended to. Plowing and manuring will be nearly all useless, so long as the land is clogged with surface water. If til is is not the trouble, they will enquire whether foul weeds have got possession, to the exclusion of wholesome grasses. If not, but the trouble is simply an impoverishment of the surface by long cropping, they will advise to scarify the sward in the fall with a heavy harrow, tearing up the mosses, and disturb ing the soil a little, so that it will receive fresh seed. Then they will sow from ten to fifteen quarts per acre of clear Timothy and Red Top in equal parts, and cover the same with a light harrow. We should have said, too, they will apply a good coat of old man ure before the seed sowing. In this way re peating the manure once in two years, many a meadow or pasture can be brought up to a high state of productiveness. If, however, the land is infested with white daisy, dock, or thistle the only way will he to breek it up th orongkly, cultivate it five years with crops and grain, and finally seed down again. Man uring should go along with this cultivation, of course. When seeding down, be not spar ing of seed, but use half a bushel of Timothy and the same of Red Top. If Red Ctover is desired, it should not generally be sowed un til in the spring, as it is apt to winter-kill. If our farmer is a progressive man, perhaps he will enquire whether the grass crop could not be improved by irrigation. We believe much is to be realized from this practice during the next generation.— American Agriculturist. OIL THE HARNESS And Lave it repaired if necessary, before a drier season sets in. Wash it thoroughly with warm soft water and castile soap, and brush out every particle of dirt before putting on the'oil. This is the important point. Bet ter not oil at all than to apply it on dirty leather. The harness should be taken apart and the pieces washed and oiled separately. Rub on the oil while the leather is softened with the water. It can be applied at once if the leather is rubbed a little with a dry cloth. It should be soft, but not too wet. After ap plying the oil hang up to dry for a few hours, till the oil is absorbed. Old harness, that has been neglected, and is dry and hard, bad better not be oiled. It will do no good. The evil is already done. The fibres of the leath er have lost more or less of their tenacity, and oil will not restore it. In fiict, by soften ing the leather it only weakens it—just as a wet sheet of paper will tear more easily than a dry one. Oil does not add to the strength of leather; it merely softens it and keeps it from cracking. It is a preventative of decay —not a restorer. Harnesses are now so high that it is more than ever important to take good care of them. Never let them suffer for want of oil; kept in good repair they will last as long again.— American Agriculturist. THE DECORATION OF SMALL FRONT YARDS. 1 he Agriculturist has a large circle of read ers whose landed possessions do not exceed one or two city lots, and we like occasionally to have an article especially for these. Most of them, whether living in city or village, have a small space between the house and the street, which they wish to turn to the best ac count, as it is constantly in view not only of passers by, but from the windows of the dwel ling. Where the soil and situation are favor able, these little patches may be kept gay with flowers during the whole season, provi ded a reserve stock of plants be kept in pots in the back yard, ready to replace those which go out of bloom. We have seen these little flower gardens kept up very nicely; but more generally they promise well in spring, lan guish in summer, and by autumn are sad pic tures of desolation. One who would keep a place ol this kind looking well all the season, has to persevere against difficulties. The soil is usually poor and shallow, and the heat and dast are so destructive to flowers, that any but the most ardent enthusiasts are too apt to be discouraged and give up in despair. Those who wish to give the front yards a comely look, and are anable to have a well kept flower bed, will be glad of some sug gestions to this end. A neat bit of close and well kept turf, is always pleasing, and upon this, one or more evergreen shrubs, accord ing to the size of the spot, will be in good taste, and give a cheerful look, summer and winter. But to have even this, the soil must be looked to. Often the rubbish left by the builders is just covered with soil, and the place fit for nothing but weeds. Among the shrubs suited for such places, the Norway Spruce and Arbor Vitals are the most readily attainable, and they stand rough treatment better than most others. Though they are naturally trees, they may be kept as shrubs• Select those well furnished to the base with branches, and then keep them small and dense bp the use of the knife. The Siberian, Golden, and other varieties of Arbor \ its make beautiful specimens treated in this way. The Dwarf Pine, or some of the Junipers, may be planted with good effect. If the place is somewhat shaded, some of the broad leaved Evetgreen shrubs may be used. mRSASURER'S SALE OF UNSEATED LANDS.

This Company has been organized for the pur pose of prosecuting the business of Silver Mining on a thoroughly legitimate basis, devoid of all at tempts at speculation. Their property comprises six (6) separate, distinct, Silver-bearing lodges 01 Lodes in San Antonio Mining District, Nye county, Nevada, in the richest portion of the cele brated "Reese-river Region," and admirably loca ted in every respect for profitable mining. These Silver Mines are known respectively as the Cjr.- SAR, CICKRO, SHAKZSPEARE, SHAT and CURTIS, PALESTINE and MACEDON LEDGES, and the prop erty of the Company consists of an original loca tion of 1,000 feet along the course of each vein, or a grand total of SIX THOUSAND FEET OF MINING GROUND. The Secretary of the Com pany has visited these mines in company with several experienced miners and mining engineers, and given them a thorough examination. Full particulars in regard to their inexhaustible wealth and resources will be furnished on application at the Principal Office, 809 CHESTNUT ST., PHILADELPHIA, where also can be seen the richest cabinet of sil ver oros, silver bullion, Ac., ever exhibited in the Atlantic States. Abundant evidence of the most satisfactory and conclusive cbarecter has been fur nished the Board of Directors in regard to tbe wealth and permanence of the mines. Tie title to the property has been subjected to the most careful examination, and found to oe perfect in particular—of which fact the highest official en dorsements have been obtained. The Company have secured the services of a thoroughly experi enced Mining Superintendent (a resident of Ne vada), who is already engaged in the extiaction of ore from the mines. As soon as the working capital of the Company is secured, the erection of permanent and efficient reduction works will be commenced. The six silver-bearing ledges belonging to this Company range in width from three to fifteen feet, and assays of average ore from near the surface range from one, hundred to over one thousand dol lar per ton in silver. No other Silver Mining Company has yet been organized in the Atlantic States with such an ab solute assurance of success, and those who aro for tunate enough to secure stock in the MACEDON SILVER MINING COMPANY will rerp a muni ficent reward, in the shape of early and unexam pled dividends, and the consequent rapid enhance ment of the market value of the Stock. A full Prospectus of the Company will be issued previous to January Ist. SUBSCRIPTION BOOKS Now open at the GENERAL OFFICE, 809 CHESTNUT Street, Phila.
