FARM AM' HOMH.
Ynlnc r Corn for Export.
In a recent speech made in Kogland,
Mr. Caird said Indian corn, which ranks
among cereal grains next to wheat, in
imports was almost unknown in Great
Britain before the potato famine of
1845-47, and was not liked, in 1*47
560 000 tons were sent to Ireland, hut by
1857 the imports had diminished to one
quarter of that amount. In 1867 it was
hardly more popular, but the bad harvest
of that year brought it into greater
request. It rose still further in 1875,
alter the bad harvest that year, and in
1876 with another deficient harvest
here, it doubled at once the highest
previous importation. It is the cheapest
article of food in the market, being at
present little more than half the price o
wheat per pound, and its introduction in
such large quantities greatly modifies
the pressure which would otherwise bo
felt alter deficient harvests in that
country. In this connection, as we have
hitherto remarked, the failure of the
turnip crop in England ought to add
largely to our sales in Indian corn there.
K|>n.> li>K Cowl.
in the matter of spaying, the most
valuable experiments with which we are
acquainted are those performed by the
German veterina-y surgeon Schmidt, in
1874 and 1875. This gentleman cas
trated, all told, twenty-one cows, and
carefully compared them with an equal
number of whole animals. The result
of these experiments showed that for
several weeks after the operation the
animals lost flesh very rapidly, and even
at the end o! the fifth week the loss in
some cases was as high as one hundred
and fifty-five pounds. From this time
on the castrated cows showed no advan
tages over the intact animals in laying
on flesh; keeping pace with them,indeed,
hut doing no more. As to the quality
of their flesh, Mr. Hchmidt pronounces
that from the spayed cows excellent, but
no (letter, iu his judgment, than that of
the others. The experiment quoted
above had for its object, also, to ascertain
the effect of spaying upon the production
of milk. The results in this regard
corresponded very closely to the produc
tion of flesh. In all cases there was a
considerable decrease in the quantity ol
milk for some time after tho operation,
in some < uses this decrease being very
great. '‘ln mauy cases the quantity of
milk never rose again'; iu others it
reached the original amount, or there*
shouts, in a few weeks’ time, but only
to fall off rapidly alter n very short con
tinuance of that level. In most cases
the period of lactation was extended, in
some eases to fourteen or fifteen, and, in
one case, to revet)teen months.” The
fact must be placed to the credit of this
operation that the milk obtained from
tlie spayed cons was greatly improved in
quality, there lieing a very considerable
increase both of fat and caseine.
TtiO I'itrmrr*'
Tuilc n stir has been made in Now
York state by the farmers, who have
organized what they call the “farmers’
Alliance,” an association having lor its
object the handing of the farmers into u
xerni-p ditical brotherhood. The alliance
differs from the grange in that its meet
ings are open and its objects avowed on
general, political and governmental ques
tions. The society attacks o|ieniy the
nomination of what they call “tricky
lawyers" to election for oflioes wherein
they will lie required to legislate (or the
farmers. Kum sellers also come in for a
portion of the wrath ol the members.
I hen quack-doctors, undertakers and
grave-diggers are denounced a.s “priv
ileged classes” who exact most exhor*
hitant charges. They set apart personal
property holders as “privileged,” lie
cause they evade taxation. The custom
of assessing the nominal owner upon the
whole of his land, although he may owe
for more than halt, is disapproved.
Railroads are next taken to task, and
get a share of abuse. The alliance
seems to l>e taking deep root
among the farmers of the empire
state, and may become quite formida
ble as a political jiower.
Nime of the objects are set forth in the
following extract, read Indore the late
state meeting at Syracuse:
First: That every species ot property
should bear its just and tqual burden of
taxation.
Second That the insurance lawol the
state should lie so amended that the
farmers can secure themselves against
loss by tire at the actual cost of such pro
tection, by forming companies tor mutual
insurance.
Ihird • That the farmers of the state
of New York should no longer lie taxed
to carry grain ot the West to the soa-
Wrd; and to this end the railroad com
panies of the state shall not discriminate
against local freight, and that they shall
be prohibited by law from charging more
on freight for short distances than for
long distances.
Fourth : That a state board of agticul
ture should l>e appointed, recognized and
maintained as a department ot the state
government.
Fifth: That as the common district
school is tlie only means of education to
a large majority of those living in rural
districts, we demand that the common
-chools of the state shall he maintained
tree to all. ami that they he placed for
<ver beyond partisan or sectarian control
by the organic - Jaw of the state.
Whil i% H € oinpoftl
The Baltimore Sun says . ‘ \Ve some
•imes hear the inquiry made —and among
larmc-. too—what is a compost heap?
IVcianswer that it i a collection of tit
' iposa'-’e materials to undergo fermen
tation an] decoiupoaiti m to be used in
the fertilization ot the land. Jt must be
composed of weeds, spoiled hay, straw,
leaves, woexie-earth ashes, soap-suds, the
hair, blood and offal of slaughtered ani
mals, carcasses of dead animals, fish, !
dish water, chamber ley, coarse stable
manure, swamp muck and other mate
rials ordinarily thrown away and wasted.
Such is a compost heap, and no farmer
should be without something of the kind
from which to pay back to his soil the
fertility of which it has been de
prived in the culture of crops; and
now is a good time to be commencing
one. If the farmer is not able to
purchase other and more expensive
fertilizers lie can at least be scraping' j
together all such decomposable materials i
as are lying around loose in every direc
tion, and lie making just such a;
heap. In the north nothing of that
kind that can lie thus appropriated
and utilized is lost, and it is rather
a pioor commentary on the farmers
of the south to see the vast quantities of
worn out land lying idle and perfectly
useless, when there are so many mate
rials ready at hand to reclaim and ren
der them productive. In building a
compost heap it is well to add a little
lime occasionally to hasten decomposi
tion of the coarser materials, but not to
apply it irisucli quantity as will drive off
the ammonia. In heaps containing much
animal matter (and therefore the most
easily decomposed) considerable caution
should Isa observed and but little lime
applied, otherwise the ammonia will be
rapidly evaporated and lost. A bushel of
unslacked lime, well incorporated witli
the heap, is amply sufficient for a cord of i
decomposable matter; and then, if the
liquid manure from the stable yard be
carefully saved in a pit for the purpose,
and occasionally added thereto, the value
of the heap will be considerably en
hanced. On almost every farm there
are enough of such materials, if proper
ly utilized, to prevent deterioration of
the land, and the farmer who neglects to
so appropriate them shows a degree of
carelessness and (wo were going to say)
a lack of common sense not very com
mendable ; so that every farmer should
make it a point to build up one or more
of these heaps on his premises.”
I'arni tlronomloN.
As there is much soft corn,or corn the
cob of which is not thoroughly dry, the
farmers should use great care in selecting
j only the soundest aud dryest ears for
j sit'd, and store it in a dry, airy [dace.
; Do not put in the granary or over grain,
j as the sweating of the grain destroys its
j germinating qualities, and good crops
! can not he raised without good seed,
i (*D ly save the best of everything for seed.
! If the tools are not under cover long
j before this, lose no time in putting them
| there. Look them over and see if they
i need repairing. If so, have it done the
I first spare day, so that they will be ready
lor the eatly spring work, as much time
and money is lost by the delays caused
; by broken and rusty tools when most
! needed. Htock of nil kinds should be
: provided with comfortable quartets; it
dues not pay to keep stock standing in
mudorsuow. Itcosta more to feed tliem
titan it would to provide shelter. Cure
should he given to the poultry. Build
them n good, warm house, with plenty
of room. Have good, clean nests pro
vided, and give plenty of light. This,
with a change of feed occasionally and
plenty of good, fresh water, will cost but
little, and they will pay you well by a
supply of fresh eggs for the table, or to
sell, nearly all the winter, and at this
time of tho year they always bring a
good price. Nothing on the farm pays
better than |x-iultry in proportion to the
expense, and nothing is more neglected.
And now that winter is herewith its;
i lung evenings, lie sure and supply your- j
self and family with plenty of reading j
j matter. Have at least one good paper; i
j it is almost ns necessary in these days of j
j railroads and telegraphs as good seed or i
! tools.

it into a bottle, and cork it tight. You
will find this liquid very beneficial in
removing redness and weakness from the
eyes.

Illtlorj or (tie American Dollar
from I*l7l to I7M-rii (iold Hollar
Born In IHID.
i The following is the history of the
i “ dollar ” in this country from its estab
lishment by the colonial government to
the present time:
The congress of the confederation, by
act passed August 8 1770, and ordinance
passed October 10, 1780, authorized and
estabLshed as ‘‘the unit of account” a
silver dollar, to consist of 875 64 grains
of pure silver, bat none of these coins
were ever made.
The constitution of the United States
was adopted September 17, 1787. On the
subject of money it provides as follows :
j “Congress shall have power to coin
| money and regulate the value thereof,
and of foreign coin;” also, that “no
state shall coin money, emit hills of
credit, or make anything but gold and
| silver coins a tender in payment of
debts,” thereby plainly reserving this
latter right to congress.
Now commences the hi-tory of the
I dollar under tho present government:
The act of April 2, 1702, provides for
j “ dollars, or units,” which shall contain
871.25 grains of pure, or 416 grains of
| standard silver. It also declares that
I every fifteen pounds weight of pure sil
ver shall be of equal value in all pay
ments with one (xiutnl weight of pure
gold; that the money of account in the
United States shall be expressed in
“ dollars, or units ” and decimals thereof,
it creates gold coins, which arc enumera
ted as follows: Naples, half eagles and
quarter eagles, the value of which it
expresses in “ dollars or units.” It does
not provide for a gold dollar.
The act of February 9, 179?, declares
that all foreign coins, except Spanish
; milled dollars, shall cense to be a legal
! tender.
The act of April 10, 1806, establishes
tales at which certain foreign gold ami
silver coins shall pass current as money
and be a legal tender for the payment ol
debts.
The act of June 25, 1814, makes the j
silver dollar of Mexico, I’eru, Chili and
Central America a legal tender when
weighing 415 grains each.
The act of January 18, 1837, provides
that ‘‘The standaid for both gold and
silver coins of the United States shall
hereafter be such that of 1,000 parts by
weight 900 shall be of pure metal, and
100 of alloy, and the alloy of silver coins
shall be of copper, and the alloy of the
gold coin shall be ol copper and silver;
provided that the silver do not exceed i
one half the alloy.” It then fixes the
weight of the silver Hollar at 4121 grains
900 fine, and subsidiary silver coins in i
proportion, to-wit, a dime 41} grains. It
then declares that all thp silver coins
front dollars to half dimes, shall be legal j
tenders ot payment according to their
nominal value for any sum whatever,
after which it makes the same provision
respecting the gold eagle, half eagle and
quarter eagle, that they shall be a legal
tender for all sums.
The act of March 3, 1849, provided for
tlie first coinage of two new coins, the
double esgle and the gold dollar, both to
be legal tender for all sums, and to be of
the respective value of “ twenty dollars,
or units,” and “ one dollar,or unit.” This
is the first gold dollar.
The act ol March 8,1851, created anew
silver coin, to be of the legal tender value
of three cents, and to be a legal tender
for all sums of thirty cents and under.
The act of February 21, 1858, reduces
the weight of the subsidiary silver coins
front the half dollars down, and limits
their legal tender function to sums not
exceeding $5. li also creates anew gold
coin, to lie of the value of “three dollars,
or units."
The act of February 2!, 1857. repeal*
all former acts which made toreigu gold
or silver coin a legal tender.
The act of April 22. 1864, makes the
one cent coin a legal tender to the
amount of teu cents, and the two eeui
coin for twenty cents.
The act of March 3. 1865, provides for
a threecent piece of copp-r and nickel,
which shall lie legal tender to the amouut
of sixty cents, and limits ,he legal tender
fut.cion ot the one and two coni pieces
to sums not exceeding tour cents.
Ike act of May 16, 1866. creates a five
oettt coin of nickel and copper, and
makes it a legal tender to the amount
oMd.
The act of March 3. 1871, provides
“that the secretary of the treasury is re
quired to redeem in lawful money ai.
copver. hroExe, copper nickel, and base
nu tal coinage, of every kiud hitherto
authorized by law. when presented in
sums ot not less than tpJO -
I'he act of February 12, 1873, (com
monly known as the den metiziugact.i l
provides that “the hold hollar or
the United State- cr twkitty-five
AND EIGHT TENTHS GRAINS SHALL BE
the unit of value.” It creates the
trade dollars of 420 grains weight, 900
fine ; and changes the weight of the half
dollar, quarter dollar, and dime, by use
of the French word “ Gram,” making
the half dollar 121 grams, which is said
to be about 164 grains (Troy) although
according to Webster a gram is one
twei ty-tourlh of an ounce, is silent about
the 4121-grain dollar, afid the half dime ;
and reduces the legal tender function of
all silver coins of the United States to
sums not exceeding £5.
’The act of March 3, 1873, declares the
legal value of the English pound sterling
shall be deemed equal to $4 8065, and all
contracts made after the first day of Jan
uary, 1874, based on an assumed par of
exchange with Great Britain ef 54 pence
to the dollar, or £4 44 4 9 cents to the
sovereign or pound sterling, shall lie null
and void. The act of March 3, 1875,
creates a silver coin of 20 cents, contain
ing five “grams,” and makes it a legal
tender to the amount of $5. •
The act of July 13, 1876, especially
DEMONETIZES THE TRADE DOLLAR OF 420
grains, 900 fink, in the following words :
“ That the trade dollar shall not hereafter
be a legal tender, and the secretary of
tho treasury is hereby authorize-! to
limit from time to time the coinage to
such an amount as he may deern suffi
cient to meet the export demand for the
same.
This brings the question of what is and
what was a dollar down to the present
time. —Em.r County (N. J.) Prem.
A man saw a physician once and hid
j behind a stone wall. “Why did you
| hide ?” asked a friend. “For the- simple
reason that it’s so long since I was sick
I’m ashamed to meet a doctor face to
j lace,” was the reply.
An old woman who went into the
! poultry business some time since, under
the expectation that she could make a
fortune by selling eggs, has quitted it iu
disgust, because, as she says, “ the hens
will never lay when eggs are dear, hut
always begin as soon as they get cheap.”
