El (Successor tc It is time the ground was plough ed ready for garden inff. Peas should have been sown a weeK or so ago in order to have them early in market. Yield of Corn. The Washington Co., Pa., Agri cultural Society recently appointed a committee to examine a large field of corn and report the method of culture and the yield. They visited the farm of J. W. DiCkey of West Alexander to see the field in question,, and report substan tially as follows : The field was in sod eighteen years; was formerly rather poor, but had been pastured' with sheep the above menttoned time. It was plowed early as the frost would al low, at an average depth of two and a half to three inches. It was harrowed six times over before planting; marked in rows each way, two feet five inches by three feet one inch, and the average number of stalks per hill was three and a half. The corn was planted about April 20th. When the corn was coming up the field was har rowed over with a common har row. After this the three-shovel cultivator was used, then the double shovel, and for the last time the single shovel plow; twice in a row each working; in all it was worked five times. At last work ing, the corn was up to the horse's back. There were by actual count 1,104 shocks of corn, which the committee found to "average two bushels, one peck, one quart and one pint of shelled corn to each shock ; ' in all 2,535 bushels of corn, or one hundred and sixty-nine bushels of shelled corn per acre !" Mr. Dickey claims that by shal low plowing of fields that have been long in sod, the corn is brought into immediate contact with' the most nutritious parts of the soil and is forced to grow rapidly. He also says the cut worms feed upon 'the grasses, which are near the surface where the worms can get at them, leaviag the corn, to grow undis turbed. His neighbors who plowed deep, had to replant much of their corn on account of the ravages of the cut worm. Mr. D. keeps ever nine hundred sheep, and to them he ascribes the fertility of his soil. His sheep averaged him last spring over six pounds cf wool per head, ar-th&oraiittee reports them as 9JA lit for mutton. Improved Method of Growing Cotton. In a very able address delivered at Eufaula, Ala., in October last, 3Ir. C. C. Langdon declared that "the perplexing labor problem that has so puzzled the Southern brain for the hibt eight years, finds an easy and satisfactory solution in an improved system of culture and this conclusion is elaborated in a forcible manner, and at much length. "We cannot afford (he said) to hire labor to cultivate poor land land that will yield only one-fourth, or even half a bale of cotton to the acre we must aban don our present ruinous system, and instead of going over four or five acre3 for one bale of cotton, we must so enrich and so cultivate the soil, that the same amount may be realized from one acre. Instead of 10 to 15 bushels corn to the acre, we should make 50, 75 or 100 bush els. All this is practicable." "Five bales cotton and 200 bush els of corn to the acre, (he says) have been made at the South, and these results have been obtained simply by deep ploughing, thor ough pulverization of the soil, and heavy manuring, and all guided intelligence mind and musUe com bined. " He continues: "As an illustration of the case with which the productiveness of our soil can be increased, I havo a case in point the present season and quoted the result of Mr. San dige's experiment, which will be .found in this number of the Jour nal) and he adds: "Now just think of it I At an extra cost of only seven dollars, an acre of land that otherwise would have pro duced, at best, but half a bale of cotton, worth, say, fifty dollars, is enabled to raise two bales worth two hundred dollars being a clear profit of one hundred -and fifty dol lars on the investment of seven dollars ! Now, there is not a plan ter present, who cannot realize the same results by simply trying it and using , the requisite means. There is no mystery about it, no difficulty attending . it. , It is all plain sailing, plain common sense ; the natural effect of a' legitimate cause. And what has been done on one acre can .be. done on, two, on fifty, on a hundred acres, at the same ratio of profit." State Ag. Journal, !

Knight Dear Sir : We have for several months been using your Bradley's Patent Enamel Paint on our College Building, and are well pleased with it, though it was applied bygone having no experience in such work, yet we have a good job. We shall continue to use it, believing that in point of econmy, durability and facility of application it is superior to any other pigment offered in the market. Very Respectfully, W. G. SIMMONS.

Dbar Sir I received your favor of the 3d inst, asking my opinion of the 44 Bradley Patent Enamel Paint," for which you are Agent. It affords me pleas ure to add my testimonial with many others, of its value and thorough adaptation to the Rural Districts especially. Having a practical experience of thirty years in preparing plans and building with all branches of Artisans and Mechanics, and used most of the material for painting, PATENT ENAMEL PAINT," owing to its portabilility, being mixed of all shades and quantities to suit. I applied it for inside and outside work and found it dried thoroughly covered the surface perfect and dried with a beautiful Enamel luster, and covered twenty square yards two coats. I have recommended its use to others in the city of Washington and lower Maryland, with equal satisfaction and good results. Mixing colors by ordinary Mechanics i not often done to the satisfaction of proprietors and this Paint" being already mixed all desired shades and frequently to suit, renders it more desirable in " Rural Districts." I cheer fully recommend its general use and feel assured that all who use it will be satis fied that it is all that is claimed ' Durable, Beautiful and Economical." Yours respectfully, JOHN L.

The Daily Graphic is the title of a newspaper, published in New York, which is achieving: the most remarkable journalistic success ever chronicledj It is an eight-page evening paper, (three editions daily), elegantly printed, faiid conducted by the ablest editorial talent attainable. . j 1! As a newspaper the Daily Graphic stands in the first rank, and contains regularly hrf ir I.o0c nnl Villi 7VVErs from all Parts of the World 1 Its great feature consists in the fact that it is not only a newspaper, but; an illustrated newspaper as well. Four of its pages are filled with choice reading matter telegrams, editorials, general and local news, items, gossip, and cor respondence on the freshest and most interesting topics. The remaining; four pages consist of SPLENDID ILLTJSTItAXIOIVS executed- in tne most iauitiess ana! ar tistic style, and portraying accurately and fully all leading events within iwen-ty-four hours after their occurrence.- HlQ&e who have made journalism a soay, and fully appreciate the great enterprise manifested in the collection and publication of news by the aid of the telegraph, steam presses, and the development of journalistic talent, have been fond of advancing the theory that the next advance in that field would re sult in a newspaper furnishing in its regular issues pictures of all current; prominent events. That theory is a theory no longer ; the newspaper of the future is the newspaper of to-day and! that paper is the Daily Graphic. The processes which render this marvellous! achievement an existing fact are the re sult of the most careful study and. an endless variety of experiments, gradu ally perfected during the past twelve years. They depend upon improve ments in lithography and the applica tion of the photographic camera!; - By their aid a picture is engraved and made ready to print in from twenty minutes to two hours; Costly and elaborate plates, works of arts, scenes of interest, are reproduced and pictured forth j with equal facility and the most scrupulous! fidelity. Illustrations of leading events; are engraved and prepared for the press even before the accompanying written narrative or description leaves the hands of the compositor. . ; I i For the proper practical working o so great an enterprise, THE GRAPHIC COMrAN Y was formed, with. $ A Capital of $500,000 in Gold, months and months before the first; is-; sue of the Daily Graphic, thej most extensive preparations were made, and to-day THE GRAPHIC COMPANY. has hi"' The Largest and Most Complete Newspaper Establishment i in the United States In the great work of illustrating the events of the day an extensive corps of the best known and most accomp artists are constantly engaged. ishedi The Paper for the Household y Price, $12 per year, or $3 for 3 months.
