Planting In llllla or Drills,

or in emus is fin unnettled question
union? our farmers. There are. how-
ever, circumstances or conditions under
which either one may have an un
doubted advantage over the other. For
Instance, in nwly-cleared lands, where
mere are many stumps, or on very stony
ground, planting in hills is preferable to
drills, as it is difficult to secure continu
ous rows, and the planter may skip a
stone or stump and still get nearly a full
number of nlnnts to the acre. On henvv
tenacious clay or other kinds of soil that
nave not been thoroughly prepared lor

best to plant in hills wiih rows in oppo
site directions, in crder to admit of run.
ning the plow along the four sides of
me urns, and thereby breaking up the
soil and pulverizing it in cultivating the
crop. In the Western States, especially
on the prairies, where very little hand
weeding or hoeing is bestowed upon
corn, potatoes, and similar crops, every
thing in the way of cultivation being
done with horsc-hoe, plow or cultiva
tor, hill culture is really the only prac
ticable system ; but when the land has
been brought under thorough cultiva
tion, the drill system will usually prove
the most certain for securing a large
yield.
By planting in drills a more even dis
tribution of the plants over the surface
can always be secured than by crowd
ing several into a hill, as is usually
practiced with corn, potatoes and beans.
If the hills are four feet apart both
wiys, there will be 2,722 on an acre.
With ordinary varieties of corn, three
stalks to the hill is abundant, and this
gives 9,100 per acre. It is evident, how
ever, that with the three stalks starting
from a space not exceeding six inches
in diameter and in most cases the
grains will be dropped close together
the stalks must crowd one another from
the very start, the roots also interlacing
and crowding as well; conspquently,
under such conditions it would scarcely
be expected that as full a development
of the plants would fol'ow as if earh
stood separate and was not crowde i by
ti neighbor. Now. if the same number
of plants stood in drills, and fifteen
inches apart, allowing four feet between
the rows, we would have 8,712, or only
888 less plants per acre: or it of a vari
ety that will admit of closer planting,
the plants may be only one loot apart
In the drills, giving 10,890 per acre.
This latter distance will answer well
tor the low growing Northern varieties
of corn, as well as for potatoes that are
cut up into single eyes when planted.
By this drill system it is apparent
that every plant has a space twelve to
fifteen inches wide and lour feet long in
which its roots can spread without
coming in contact with those of its
neighbor, and under such conditions a
better growth may reasonably be ex
pected than if several plants were
crowded into the same space. Not
only do the roots have a better oppor
tunity of obtaining nutriment, moisture
included, but the leaves and stems can
spread out without any great obstruc
tion in all directions. It may be a little
more difficult to tend a crop and keep it
free from weeds when planted in drills ;
but there is certainly an advantage
which will show itseif in the increese
in yield that more than compensates for
the extra labor.
Corn stalks standing singly will usu
ally produce more and larger ears than
can be obtained from them when
crowded ; and we are often surprised to
see how few farmers adopt the drill sys
tem where there is nothing to prevent
it, and in regions where this crop is suf
ficiently valuable to pay well for any
extra pains in cultivating it. The drill
is the true system to adopt, not only in
planting corn, potatoes and other crops
requiring cultivation while crowing,
but also in wheat, oats and similar
kinds of grain. A few years ago all
kinds of grain were sown broadcast in
this country; but recently our farmers
have begun to use grain drills, and the
results are so satisfactory that it is
doubtful if thoee who have given them
a fair trial will ever desire to return to
the broadcast sys.em.
Drilling in grain is one step in ad
vance of the broadcast method of dis
tributing seed. The next step will
doubtless be the hoeing of the growing
grain, as is practioed in Europe, where
labor is cheap and land dear. Wo may
have io wait a few years before hoeing
wheat will become a general practice
with our farmers, but it will come as
soon as thi extra icld obtained by the
system will pay for the extra labor re
- quired in cultivation. New York Sun.
Hearing Calves.
In rearing calves, after a fortnight old,
skimmilk may be gradually substituted
for new milk, by adding atablospoonful
ot flaxseed, well boiled, to their allow
ance mornings and nights. If flaxseed
is not to be had, then substitute oil meal.
Sleep one quarter ot a pound of this in
.boiling water, and add to each gallon
of skimmilk fed to the calf. As the
animal increases in size, gradually in
crease thv quantity cf flaxseed or oil
meal. Take special care that the miik
be sweet, and feed it blood-warm.
After a while oatme:il cr fine middlings
may be added to the milk, and as the
calf gets to be two or three months old.
Indian meal and wheat bran, mixed
half and half, may be used instead of !
nfLtmenl nnri niirlrlKno-o. Vnfr ia
seed or oil meal should be kept up, and
the calf carefully watched to see that
this change does not scour it, and if so,
go back to the oatmeal and middlings
again. Let the calf run in a good grass
pasture if convenient, and after a proper
time it will take gradually lo grass as a
part of its rations. Sural New Yorker.
Black Ants a Cure for Currant Wormi,
A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer
finds the common black ant an efficient
proU ction against the pla.'ue of currant
worms. He has sev iral colon es of ants
close to his currant bushes, and enjoys
an abundance of currants, while his
neighbors' bushes are overrun with
worms. Formerly he took pains to de
stroy the ant colonies, but on witness
ing their attacks upon the worms he has
taken pains to protect and encourage
them.

FRIKTISQ OFFICE SECRETS.
On Class of Man Who Ware Never

donee.
Printers bars never, we think, re
ceived due appreciation for the honor
able confidence which they have prp
served in regard to the secrets with
which they have necessarily been in
trusted. Such a case as this often hap
pens. An article in a newspaper or
mauazine makes what is called a "sen
sation." It is entirelv anonymous, and
public curiosity is excited to the utmost
to discover the name of its author. The
writer may be a cabinet minister, a high
official, a courtier, or anv of the thou
sand and one persons who, if he were
suspected or writing for the press, would
at once lose his position, bis office per
haps his reputation. On theother hand,
the writer may be a struggling author,
a hard-working Journalist, or a mere
literary amateur. In any case his Fccret
is preserved ; his anonymity is safe as
long as it is confided to the printers.
Some years ago there was a great stir
made about a book entitled "Ecce
Homo." It was a clever work, and had
an unexampled success. " Who is the
author?" was the question on every
body's lips. Some scores of persons
were named, and they repudiated their
participation in it. All sorts of con
jectures were hazarded, and no doubt
laree sums would have been raid bv
several conductors of journals for au
thentic information as to the name of
the author. Yet that name wao known
to a master-printer, Lis overseer, and at
least some of the compositors, but it
was never revealed. When the name
was published, it wan not through the
instrumentality of the printers, but en
tirely independent of them. They had
faithfully kept their secret.
Going back a few Years, the author
ship of the " Waverly Novels" may be
referred to as a remarkable incident of
literary historv. Sir Wn.1t.pr Seott'a
authorship, although known by twenty
persons, including a number ot printers,
was so well concealed that the rreat
novelist could not, even in his matchless
vocabulary, find words of praise suffi
cient to express the sense of his grateful
acknowledgment and wonderinn admir
ation for the matchless fidelity with
which the mystery had been preserved.
There is another species of secrecy
that relating to the careful supervision
of confidential public documents, books
printed for secret societies, and the au
thoiship of articles or pamphlets, as
already referred to, which has been most
honorably maintained. When treaties
are prematurely published in newspa
pers tue copy is obtained lrom some
leaky or venal official, and not from anv
of the printers who set up or work off
the original. A case of this kind oc
curred a year or two ago, wherein a
convention between this nnuntrv and
another power was revealed to one of
the evening newspapers. In the for
eign office, at Whitehall, there is a regu-
mr stan oi printers always at worfc, and
if these men liked they might let out
secrets of the most momentous kind,
any one of which would, perhaps, in
these days of journalistic competition,
be worth a few hundred nouneis. But
such a dereliction of duty has never yet
occurred ; it was a clerk, and not a com
positor, who betrayed his trust.
Most honorable to the profession is
the story of Harding, the printer, who
bravely bore imprisonment rather than
reveal the authorship of the celebrated
wrapier - letters. The printer sat in
his cell calmly refusinir the entreaties
of his friends to divulge the name of the
writer, uean hwitt, a church magnate,
and a great wit, who dressed himself in
the disguise of a low Irish peasant, nnd
sat by, listening to the noble refusal and
tue tender importunities, only anxious
that no word or glance from the unfor
tunate printer should reveal the secret.
'Witt was bent soleiv uoon securing his
own safety at the expense of the printer;
ne u iwea colore the legal danger which
Harding boldly confronted. The world
has unequally allotted the meed of fame
to the two combatants. The wit and
the printer both fought the battle for
the liberty of the press, until the sense
of an outraged community released the
typographer irom the peril so ncbly
ncounterec
In thousands of other instances simi
lar fidelity has been exhibited. In shoit,
it is part of the professional honor of a
printer not to disclose, either wantonly
or lrom venal motives, the secrets of
my othce in which he is employed.
There is also the allegiance which
pri iters pay to their chief, in not di
vulging important intelligence. In
"oiue cases a compositor is necessarily
it.trmted with an item of news which
would be negotiable immediately, and
worth pounds to him. Seldom or ever
is there a betrayal of trust in this way.
The examination papers, printed so ex
tensively in London, are of the most
tremendous importance to certain
trusses, who would pay almost any sum
to obtain the roughest proof the night
before. An instance of this kind be.
curred quite recently. A printer was
" got at," and promised a considerable
amount of money for a rough proof.
What was his course of action? He
Minply informed the authorities, and
the tempter was punished. It was an
other and a creditable example of how

A Mine of Palm Oil.
According to the Colonies and India
that portion of the west coast of Africa
w hich lies south of the river Volta furn
ishes the principal supplies of palm oil.
Nearly 1,000,000 cwt. of this oil are an
nually exported to Great Britain, of the
value of $7,500,000, its principal use be
ing in the manufacture of soaps, per
fumery, candles and similar articles.
Among the natives it is highly valued,
both for food ( taking the place of butter),
for lighting and cooking purposes and for
anointing the head ana body. The so
called oil, which is rather a fatty sub
stance resembling butter in appearance,
is obtained from the several species of
Calm, but especially from theone known
otanically as ' Elais guineensis," which
grows in abundance on the western coast
of Africa, and from which it takes its
specific name.
So thickly do these trees grow, and so
regular and rapid are their supplies of
fruit, that in some localities where the
regular collection of the produce is not
practiced, the ground becomes covered
with a thick deposit ot the oily, fatty
matter produced by the ripe berries.
Deposits of palm oil which may also be
called "mines" of vegetable fat. exists
in some parts of the gold coast, and
which, if not in themselves worth work
ing, at least practically illustrate the
natural wealth of the country in such
productions, and indicate its undevel
oped resources. These " mines " would
probably not repay the cost of explora
tion, as the palm oil is apt to become
rancid and valueless for its general uses
after long exposure, though for such
purposes as canaie-maKing tnese de
posits might still be valuable.
After many years' experience and in
tercourse with our fellow men, we have
reached ths conclusion that the only
men who know bow to conduct a news
paper successfully to the public satis
faction are those gifted Doings wht
never do it. They always devote their
talents and learning to waking shoes,
or selling hoards or fish, or laying brick
or building pogtholes, or some other
literary pursuit, Burlington mwkeye.

peace of mind if not the endantrerinc of
the life of the clerks. A German once
sent a box of lucifer matches to his
father in the old country, but luckily
they were discovered before going on

have been burned at sea and nobody
known the cause. The vouner man wan
much surprised at the possible conse
quences of an act which seemed to him
as harmless as possible. When patent
cigar-lighters were first invented, their
passage through the postoffice made
such lively times for the clerks that the
manufacturers had to be warned. One
day a stamper was interrupted in his
work by a crackling noise and by the
letter bursting into flame. It was writ

carrying his stationery and his matches

Care Needed in Canning Fruit.
Recently four members of a Brooklyn
family were taken violently sick after
eating canned cherries. The poisoning
was found to be due to a s ilt of zinc
formed by the action of the free acid of
the fruit on the zinc screw cover of the
jur. In his report the chemist said:
The presence of a zinc compound in the
syrup was unmistakable, and it appeare d
in such abundance that some Jack of
precaution in preparing the fruit seemed
probable. 1 learned, however, upon in
quiry that the preserving had been dor.o
with scrupulous care by a friend oftl o
family. Moreover, the contents of other
jars of the collection prepared at the
same time had been eaten without un
pleasant results. As the jars yet un
opened were placed at my disposal
ihrough the politeness of Mr. Gilbert
(whose family had been poisoned), I se
lected one having a zinc top with a por
celain lining. There was no indication
of zinc in the contents of this jar. I then
poured about a fluid ounce ot the syrup
ot this jar into the cover of the first jar
and warmed it over a water bath lor
t li ree quarters of i n hour. The solution
then yielded promptly to the test of
zinc. The case is not without parallel,
but it is not sufficiently well-known to
the public that zinc yields so readily to
the action of fruit acids, and conse

Answer This.
Did you ever know any person to be
ill without inaction of the stomach,
liver or kidneys, or did you ever know
one who was well when either was ob
structed or inactive? and did you ever
know or hear of any case of the kind
that Hop Bitters would not cnreP
One Box or Six Bottles.
If you are suffering from a combina
tion of liver or kidney diseases and con
stipation, do not fail to use the celebrated
Kidney-Wort. It is a dry compound,
as easily prepared as a cup of coffee, and
in one package is as much m dicine as
can be bought in six dollar bottles ot
other kinds.
