I Indian Corn has ever been found by
white man, and it probably had ceas
ed to exist in a wild state long before
the discoverv of America.
Hontamsts recognize but one spec
ies viz., Zea Mays. There are.
nowever, -several very distinct sub-
species, commonly Tcnown as Dent
com, flint jcem, sweet corn, soft corn,
nop corn and pod corn. Of these, the
I ' Kinds almost exclusively grown in the
South are Dent corn (our common
held crop-), sweet corn and p p corn.
Pod corn is a curious form, which? in
stead of having the kernels naked in
the usual way, has each kernel covered
by a separate husk much as grains of
. "wheat are covered. The form is prob
ably a reversion towards the primitive
$ypCi and indicates what the average
ear oleorn looketTlike 2,000 years ago.
This pod corn lias recently been intro
duced into this State under the name
of "cow corn" and great things are
claimed for it by some. We warn our
people that it is wholly worthless ex
cept as a curiosity.
In the United otates there are in nil
about 200 named varieties of corn in
cultivation. At one end of the list we
have the tiny cared pop corns, with
ears less than two inches long, and at
-the other end we find the giant South
ern Dent corns with ears twelve to
fifteen inches long and two inches
thick. ..
' Corn is ntrue suu-lovikig plant, and
thrives best under The direct summer
heat. Its vitality is so great however,
that it accommodates itself to very
adverse surroundings, and is profitably
cultivated in the Canadian north
- west, in the valley of -the Saskatche
wan. uiiivc me inn uuini ion oi me suo in
' -recent years, an -additional value lias
been given to the corn plant. It is bv
all nieji conceded to be by far the best
, plant for ensilage. There are, level
headed men like Prof. Sanborn, of Mis
souri, and Mr. William Croier. of
New York, who claim that air-dried
corn fodder is cheaper and better than
ensilage. Corn for ensilage should al-
' ways be drilled, the drills at least teree
feet apart, and one stalk to about every
nine inches. If sown thicker, the
talks will not form and mature ears,
nor will they grow to such a height as
when sown thinly. The soil for drill
ed Com should be verv ru b nml rloonU-
broken, and the eorn cultivated very
shallow sufficiently to keep down the
Weeds and keep the surface mellow.
Repeated experiments have proved that
the best time to cut bidder-corn is
when the kernels have begun to glaze.
A well cultivated Held of fodder-corn
cut at the proper time has been esti
mated to yield more than twice the
food value of timothy hay cut from an
- . equal area of land of thj same quality.
Probably, however, nine-tenths of
all the corn-fodder used in the South
ern States is "pulled." It has been
demoirntrated time and again that
where labor costs anything it does not
j to pull fodder. But there ig
Mother question involved. The leave
of the corn plant are at once its lungs
and its stomach. Throught its leaves
I the plunt absorbs carbonic acid from
the air, and in its leaves the crude sap
sbsorlxd by the roots is digested and
elaborated into a nourishing food for
further development of the plant.
When the leaves are prematurely torn
off, the further development of the
plant must cease as soon as the stock
of elaborated sap is exhausted. There
can therefore be little doubt but that
the pulling of the leaves l.fore the
seeds have completed their growth can
not be otherwise than injurious It is
I much to be desired that the wasteful
and injurious custom of pulling fodder
will soon be abandoned for the better
wav of gr .wing drilled fodder corn

c ri. i tojo th;o ilgh the field aitel ears
are out ot "the silki, and tie a tag ir a
string to all the most vigorous plants
which bear two or more ears. . Care
must be exercised, however, to mark
no ears which show signs of infection
by "smut," and ears which become
come infected after marking should be
discarded, as well as all marked
plants in their neighborhood. Seed
from a "'smutted' ear will le almost
certain to produae ''smutted,1 ears in
turn. Small and malformed kernels
should not be sown for the same rea
son, If a farmer has different varieties
of coin, and wishes to keep them dis
tinct, they must not be grown on the
same plot, as the different varieties of
coru mix very rapidly. Seed-corn pos
sesses great vitality, and veed one year
old will usually sprout 09 per cent;
seed three years old will spront 70 per
cent.
The black powder called "smut,"
which is often found at the tip of a
growing ear of coxn, is itself a plant
a parasitic fungus known to botanists
as Vstilayo matidis, closfly related to
the ergot of rye. There is no cure,
whim a plant is once infected. When
infected ears are discovered in a field,
they shoul bo at once removed and de
stroyed, otherwise they will infect other
plants. Soaking the seeds before
planting for twenty-four hours in a
strong brine is a good remedy for
'smut," but not always practicable.
.Squirrels, binis and vermin often pull
up seeds before or soon after they have
sprouted. Soaking the seed in tar; wa
ter has I e m recommended as a preven
tive of such depredations, and this and
the brine remedy for ''smut" might be
combined, r
In the year 188-7 North Carolina had
in Indian Corn about 2,073,000 acres,
being about one-third the entire culti
vated area of the State. This area
produced 35,830,000 bushels of corn,
worth, in the market, $21,139,000, be
ing a larger acreage and larger yield
per aire than any State on the South
Atlantic or Gulf" coast, exeent Texas'
In the same year the total value of our
cotton crop was about $18,000,000; so
corn is still kmr in North Carolina.
In 1888 the value of the corn crop was
aoout one-scventli larger than in 1887.
the average yield of corn per acre for
the whole United States is 24 2-10
busbels. For North Carolina the
average is 12 7-10 hiishrda whih
is higher than the average of anvotb.-r
Mate on the South Atlantic or Gulf
n
coast. This averasre is. however, nnu-h
lower than it need be, and with a reas
onable amount of care in selecting
seed, judicious fertilizing and good
cultivation, the State average could
I e easily and profitably doubled.
Mr. AVilliain Crozier, the model
farmer of Long Island, New York, on
land naturaMy poorer than the average
of ood corn land in this State, has
raised as high as 207 bushels of shell
ed corn to the acre! What North Car
olina farmer will come foward and beat
this record?
Reed the Speaker.
The able Washington correspondent
of the Louisville Courier-Journal says :
''It is a little surprising that Reed
should have received so many votes
from the Sou.h and Southwest
That he was the candidate of the mo

He has been far six months supported
by-ail of the combined monopoly inter

that he should have failed would have
been startling surprise. He will go

Tne Australian Ballot.
In 1SS8, and again in June of the
present year, The Cqftmatthn has drawn
attention to the introduction of a new
system of voting, which goes under the
name of the Australian system. We
return tt the ulJect again liecanse the
new jdan "-has been practically tried, and
has been wonderfully successful, and
because, -feeing a step in the -direction
of honest and pare elections, which
Komi men of every party should desire,
it is the duty of The Companion to p re
mote this reform.
inasmuch ;is we have described the
system in detail, we will now mention
only the outlines of the Australian
method of voting as it was tested in
Massachusetts in November.
All the ballots for every Voting place
Are printed by the State, and ail those
for any voting place are exactly, alike.
They are folded once down the middle,
and all names are within, and are linl
deu when the ballot is folded. The
names of all candidates for any office
are printed in alphabetical order, and
following each name is the designation
of the party which has ncminatcd
the man. At the right, opposite the
name, is a blank space,
A voter going to the wiling place is
admitted to a railedoff space, and one
ballot is given to him. Ranged along
the side' of the wall- are little stalls,
each with a desk, a pencil and a piece
of India rubber. The stalls are m
made that a? person marking his ballot
cannot be overlooked.
The voter places a pencil mark X
opposite the uanie of the person for
whom he wishes to vote, but does not
erase any name from the ballot. Hav
ing completed his preparation of the
ballot, he folds it, goes to the ballot
box, his name is found on the registry,
he deposits his ballot, still folded, and
immediately passes out of the failed-off
space.
Now, as to the working of the sys
tem. It is proved by practical experi
ence that it is as speedy a way of vot
ing as the old wav. We know of one
place where more than duU persons
voted in one hour, without crowding
or inconvenience.
It is a perfectly secret ballot, as it
should be, No man can force another
to vote contrary to his wish, or can
know how another man has voted.
There can be no fraudulent ballots or
trickery. There is no opportunity for
a crowd of " heelers," vote distributors
and political spies to collect about the
polls, since a man is admitted to the
railed-off space ouly long enough to
vote and there is nothing for them to
do if they were there.
All this was hoped for as the result
of the new system, and trial of it h:is
brought no disappointment. At the
worst precincts in Ooston there w. s
perfect order and tlecorum, and no-
I i I -i ii i
wnere was mere a crown, indeed, i!T
a great part of the day, not even our
person was to be seen standing at the
door of the school-houses and other
buildings where the polling was going
on.
Moreover, every one was pleased with
thesystein. So far as we are aware not
a single paper in Massachusetts has
fo ind, or desired to find, a reason for
condemning it; and we have Hot heard
of one voter in the Stale who now pre
fers the old way. The Australian bal
lot was instantly and universally suc
cessful and popular, in city and in rural
district, and with men of every party,
without distinction.
It is true that the counting of the
votes is made a somewhat slower -process,
and the returns do not come in
quite so early in the evening. But a
delay of a few hours in learning' the
result is a small price to pay for the
great UeneUts winch the new system
secures. Youth's Companion.
What has become of the Southern
Republican Congressional kickers who,
it was said some time atro, under the
lead of Hon John M. lirower. of Mt
Airy, were wmi" to insist noon (lie
recognition to which they felt entitled,
and if this was denied, act independ
ently and knock the Republican major
ity skv- uignr it was said with a
grand riourish of trnmnets that Hon.
John M. was forging to the front as an
independent candidate for Speaker, and
that he was goins to iret there bv a
coalition with the Democrats, all" of
which w;is, of course, mere bombast and
nonsense. The kickers went into the
Caucus, as it was said they would not
do, and not onlv did not rhit
voted for the northern candidates for
11 the offices upon which the caucus
acted, not one of which came to n Stnt
south of Maryland. So ends the rrand
kielT after all the oalavar over if. hut it
ended just as peojiie who know any
thing about the make-up of the south
ern Republican delegation thought it
would. Republicans sometimes asks if

"It will do." is the common phrase of
those who neglect little things. "It
will do!" has blighted many a charac
ter, has blasted many a fortune, sunk
many a ship, burned down many a
house, and irretrievably ruined thou
sands of hopeful projects of human
good. It always means stopping short
of the right thing. It is a make-shift.
It is a failure and defeat. Not what
"will do' but what is the best pos
sible thing to do, is the point to be
aimed at Let a man once adopt the
maxim of "It will do," and he is given
over to the enemy; he is on the side of
incompetency and defeat, and we give
him up as a nopeless subject.

One of the most interesting places

is tho cyrpt of the famous chapel of
the Carmelite friars, whoco convent
was used a3 a prison and also as a

"Terror." The crypt has been thrown
open to tho public since the beginning
of last week. It is situated in the Rue

easily from the main boulevard. Tho
chapel-crypt contains many relics of
the age of blood, which was inaugur

them being the skulls and bones of tho
priests who were massacred in 1792.
These victims were about 209 in num

Weighing in the Balance.
The balsmcp is ihe emblem of just ice.
lie is a righteous judge who iioids the
halauce even.
In the courts of law, justice is.some
tunes deft-uteil because of the fallibil-
j it y of Ihu judge, and the imperfection
ot tlie balances; but in the high Court
of Heaven esact justice is meeted out
to all, for the judge is infallible and the
balance even.
To be found wanting when weighed
in the balance of nil earthly court is a
misfortune, but time and opportunity
may repair the injury and restore the
man to his lost position; but to be
found wanting in the balance of the
court of Heaven is a calamity ir
remediulle that fixts tl.c liu r.tjt knurl
doom.
Men are sometimes weighed in the
balances of public opinion and found
wanting. Now, public opinion is not
infallible, but its judgments tire so often
just that almost unlimited credit is
given to its decree. Community and
public opiuioli is the combined senti
ments o community insists that jus
tice, boner and integrity shall have
a preponderating weight in tlie bal
ance, and if, on the contrary, injustice,
dishonor and fraud carry down the
scales it were better for that man that
he had never been born.
It is asserted that President Harrison
has been weighing in the balance and
found wanting. It is said that he
cold, reserved and exclusive, and does
not let the light of his personal in
fluence fall with beatific power on
those around him. They teil us that
atmosphere of the White House is
murky and chilly, except when the
preseuce of woman lights up the sceue
with a puro and heavenly radience.
It is said, too, that he fails to rise to
tho altitude ot a great statesman, and
shows an inability to grasp and control
the affairs of State to the honor and
well-being of a great Republic. If these
things are so a remedy has provided. If
President Harrison has been weighed
in the balance of public (million and
found wanting, the next election may
change the current of public affairs
and restore the government to the peo
ple. To be weighed in the balance of
courts of law or of public opinion and
found wanting is a misfortune which
may be remedied, but to be weighed in
the balance f enternal justice and
found wanting is a calamity beyond
the tongue of man to tell or imagina
tion to conceive. Tektl is the death
