Vanderford, one of the editors of the Domocrntio Advocate, Westminister, Md., furnishes the Agricultural Depart ment a statoment of a remarkable yield of corn, published in a recent number of his journal. The crop, said to be the largest ever produced in that county, was grown by Mr. John W. Murry, of Hampstead dis trict, Carroll County, from whose lottor the following extract is made : The land is low and is overflowed by the washings from the turnpike and from my barn-yard, and was In grass for fifteen years prior to the Spring of 1872 ; thon plowed and planted in corn, and yiolded 80 J barrels per acre. This was the same piece of ground that I used last year. The stubble was left until I had planted the rest of my corn. On May 10, 1873, I plow ed the ground very deep, harrowed it the same day, and rolled it on the 17th. I sow ed 300 pounds fine bone and harrowed it again the same day. I marked it off, 32 inches one way, and sowed 200 pounds Rhodes' super-phosphate in the rows, and dropped the corn 10 inches apart, one and two grains in a hill. On the 4th of June it was badly missing; dragged the ground and replanted ;' 10th of June plowed again, still some missing ; 17th of June plowed and hoed, and plastered the weak spots ; 30th of June dragged,plowed,and thinned ; 4th of July hilled with a potato-plow as deep as one horse could pull, and kept thinning as V thought required until shooting-time. The variety of corn was the Chester County mammoth yellow, of which I send you a sample. In regard to the yiold, the ground was surveyed by a practical, sworn surveyor, cut off by two sworn mon, and measured by a sworn man, in the presence of many, and xneasurod 29-0-10 barrels, and the same measure at the cattle-scales In Baltimore made 80J barrols,for which I hold a receipt. I am not a one-acre farmer, but cultivate forty acres, with mysolf and three boys, or perhaps I could have givon the one acre more attention and bad a larger yield, which I believe could have been made.

Charcoal, says the Lit Stock Journal, is the most efficient and rapid corrective. It will cure in a majority of caacfc if properly administered. An example of its use : The hired man came in with the intelli gence that one of the finest cows was very sick, and a kind neighbor proposed the usual drugs and poisons. The ownef be ing ill, and unable to examine the cow, concluded that the trouble came from over eating, and ordered a teacupful of pulver ized charcoal given in water. It was mix ed, placed in a junk bottle, tho head held upward, and the water and charcoal poured downward. In five minutes improvement was visible, and in a few hours the animal was in the pasture quietly eating grass. Anothor instance of equal success ocourred with a young heifer which bad become , badly bloated by eating green apples after a hard wind. The bloat was so severe that the sides were almost as bard as a barrel. The old remedy, saleratus, was tried ' for correcting the acidity. But the attempt to put it down always caused coughing, and it did littlo good. Half a teacupful of fresh powdered charcoal was next given, and in a few hours all appearance of bloat had gone, and the heifer was well. Should Milk or Cream be Churned ! The New York Observer reports an ex periment from which it appears that about 3G0 pounds of milk make twenty-two pounds of butter or sixteen to one. The milk was sour and thick. It was thought that the quality of the butter would have boon somewhat bptter If the milk Tiad only just begun to turn. As to velocity in churning, it was said there should be from forty to sixty strokes of the dasher in a minute. Some Bay that the motion should be continuous ; others, that the cream (or milk) should have intervals of rest, and the air should occasionally be introduced. It has been discovered by the microscope that butter exists in the milk inclosed iu thin sacks of albumen,' and these sacks are to bo thoroughly broken to make good but ter. They are sometimes seen mixed with butter, being only torn in two. . The effect of souring is injurious. The great objec tion of ohurning milk is the great amount of powor required.
