Making Corn Without Hoetng. Af-
ter twenty years experience in the cul-
tnre of corn, I am prepared to say that
tne hoe can be set aside as soon as re-
planting and thinning is over. In order
uu uujus, mo lanu must oe wen orokea
and pulverized before the corn is plan
ted. The distance between rows houldl
be from five to six and a-half feet in the
drill, according to productiveness of the
land. The corn should be dropped, af
ter going twice in the pame furrow, with
an eight-inch shoveL . When the corn is
covered, it should be four inches below
the surface. The first plowing, put just
enough dirt to the corn to fill the furrow
half full ; second plowing, the furrow
can be filled. This leaves the corn level,
and the'ground is not too high for you
to dirt tlie corn while plowing the third or
last time. Be careful not to break or dis
turb the corn roots the last two plowings.
Corn planted and cultivated in this way
will stand a drouth much better, and
the blades will not turn yellow, as theV

to move this fence, so this rich piece shall
go into meadow, and the sheep may fer
tilize another strip. We are working
gradually toward soiling. Nearly all feed
corn-fodder through the latter part of the
summer, and many stable their cows
nights through the entire summer, feeding
meal until something grows large enough
to cut. I stable my cows, using forest
leaves, scrapings from the wood-shed, &C.S,
which gives a large pile of summer-made
manure, in scraping together aosorDents
for the stable, the great thing is, to be
thoroughly, imbued with the precept that
every little helps to make a muckle."

of meal a day, and find they eat hay and

allowed to pick over and waste it, with

The Wiscoksin !Fibes. --:The condition
of the people in the burnt districts of
Wisconsin, has iust been made the sub
ject of a very interesting report by a Leg
islative Committee. -From it we gather
that some 1,580 families, or 6,907 per-
T ' 1- - 1 T -1 1 -- 1
sons,
nave ueen renaereu almost eniire-
lv destitute .through the effects of the
fire whtch spread oyer the State last Oc
tober. These families have since been
supported.! lor the most part, by the re
lief committees of Green Bay and Mil
waukee. Their horses and cattle have
also been provided for. In fact, noth
ing appears to have been left undone to
make them comfortable for the present,
and give them hope of being able to re
trieve their fallen fortunes m the future.
Instead of dividing the aggregate amount
of the contributions equally among the
claimants, it is proposed to supply them
with provisions enough to last until June
next, and to use a certain portion of the
subscription in purchasing agricultural
implements and seed, and materials for
the construction of new houses, and
provender for the horses and cattle. In
this way it is thought that the sufferers
will become self-supporting in a very
short time. '
Potatoes. If the farmers are correct
in their conclusions, a large proportion
of the potato crop lying in the fields in
heaps or holes has been destroyed b'y
the frosts of this winter. Many parcels
were but impe rfectly covered' ih conse
quence of the early and continued frosts,
and the Same destructive agent has pen
etrated into many cellars and did its
mischief to the potatoes stored there.
The conclusion, isthat potatoes will be
scarce this spring, and particulary dear
in price. This feeling does not appear
to have greatly affected the markets yet
There is no regular price for potatoes.
Within a few weeks as many as 10,000
barrels have been purchased all oi which
were shipped to Cincinnati and St. Louis
markets, that appear to be wanting.

As soon as the weather moderates and
gives evidence of the openiug of spring.
the farmers will open the potato pits
and determine what the frost has left
them for seed and for sale.

seventeen years the widow has mourned
and hoped until the last ray of hope
must perforce die away. For years our
hero has been considered as one dead.
Of a sudden, thee comes a sign how,
where, or whence, no one can tell. It is
only said that our hero's disappearance

was not of his own doing ; that he was in
no way responsible for it; that he wa not

There had, so runs, the story, been a
feud between the relatives of the man and
the relatives of the man's wife. In the
language of the dime novelist, they had
sworn to be avenged, and their vengeance
struck when and where least expected. It
is said that these relatives-taking advan

against a brother's wife. There was no
hope of a pecuniary gain that we can dis-

A bombshell has f allen inio the judicial
camp by the announcement' of the-.decis-

thieves, pickpockets, burglars and gene
ral criminals whom the supposed legal, ao
tion ot this court" has consigned to the
penitentiary, as it is supposed that upder
this decision a judge in the Supreme
Court Chambers will discharge, on a mere'
writ of habeas corpus, any prisoner con
victed before the Special Sessions. Out
of 6,320 persons convicted before; this
court, 600 still remain who would be

held by some le:al opinionists, that a sin

considered before the General Term of the
Supreme Court, and that . the heavy ex
pense consequent upon this proceedure,
will prevent many of the criminals from
being liberated.
It is expected that the Court of Special
Sessions will be reorganized under the old
law;, upon which it must niow, fall back
for its existence, which requires three
judges to sit, and two necessary to con
vict, instead ot one, as under the invalid
law of 1870. - i '
Whatever may be the result of this

hoped that the 600 criminals are not to be
