Nearly thirty years ago a noted Eastern agricultural editor visit ed several of the Western States on a tour of inspection to exam ine lor himself into the condition and prospects of the country and farming community to the end that he might speak and write advisedly thereupon. On return ing home and being asked about the West he sente.ntiously replied, ** It'n n great country for corn,!'' He saiil the whole story was comprised in this brief answer, for he found Indian corn the great staple, especially in the “Sucker State " (Illinois), winch was more particularly prospected than any other, though several Northwest ern and Southwestern States were visited. At that time the remark was very comprehensive, as In dian corn was the principal staple and main reliance of the farmers of the west. Since then, howev er, the production of wheat and other grains lias largely increased among the Suckers, wolveriness, lloosier, Ilawkeyes, Badgers, Ac., while California, Oregon and oth er new Slates have become grow ers of Ihe cereals on an immense scale. Yet corn is the great crop of the country and more uni versally grown than any other, as it is adapted to the East and West, North and South, while the successful production of various staples is confined lo limited re gions. The corn crop is more general ly grown than any oilier leading one, wheat not excepted, and lienee the remark of our friend is applicable, in a greater or less degree, to the whole country. The South is of late years wisely growing more corn, wheat and cereals, instead of depending up on cotton, while New England is increasing its production of the important staple. Indeed, the corn plant, being indigenous to the country and more or less a dapted to every section, is one of the few things upon which our people can always depend, and it is an imperative duty to grow corn in nearly everv State, who ever may be Governor or Uresi dent. And the writer is among those who believe it more impor tant to grew corn and other ce reals as a means of restoring pros perity to the nation, than spend ing time and breath in fooling will) finances or preaching poli ties. Reiter nominate General Prosperity for President and se cure his election by growing corn and other productive and profit a bl e crops. Make Vour Own Lightning-Hods. In these times, and especially ;t1 this season of the year, when lightning-rod vendors with their ambiguous contracts abound throughout the land,any one who can tell farmers how to protect their property cheaply without the aid of pream bulating patriots is entitled to credit and devout t hanks. Snell a blessing is vouch safed to the suffering people by Mr. L. G. Kniffen, State Agent of the Wisconsin Grange, who pro poses that farmers make their own lightning rods, and he thus briefly and lucidly tells f hem how if may be done : For a lightning-rod take two strands of No. !) galvanised wire, t wist it firm and double it. You now have a strong cable, neat and tasteful, capable of conduct ing till the elect rieily, except such as Hows from the lightning rod man's vocabulary. Put one end of this cable in tin* moist earth, or in the well, running it under ground to the building, thence up to the chimney top, parting the ends of the wire and tiling to a point, or you can conned it loan ornamental standard for the top if preferred. Fasten this wire cubic to tin* building with wrou Id iron nails or staples, ami the rod is complete. No need of insula tor- ; the cable being continuous, electricity will not leave it to follow wood. Examination i said to reveal that many of the blinders worn by horses are so arranged that they strike the eyes of the uni mal- with every step taken, cans ine bliudne s in many eases. They should be discarded. Let Is Have That Invention. Mr. Larihee, of Hotter County, Hennsylvania, introduced in the House a hill for an appropriation of SIO,OOO, to lip paid to any cit izon of the State who shall within ten years construct, or cause to he constructed, after plans of his own invention, and pul in practi cal operation on the common highways an engine or locomotive propelled by steam or motive power. The successful test of operation shall' he as follows: Any engine or locomotive com peting for the money shall per form a journey of at least two hundred miles, in a continuous direction, propelled by its own internal power, at an averse rate of speed of at least four miles an hour, and have at least one wagon or vehicle which shall be loaded with a weight of at least a ton, and shall he constructed of such width as to conform to the track of the common wagon used on the public highways. The ap paratus shall he so constructed as to be able to turn out readily on either side,to pass other vclii dos, to he able to ascend or de scend a grade of at least 300 feet to the mile, to lie able to apply the power to at least one set of wheels on each carriage of the train designed to he drawn. Agricull uml Aphorisins. I’he lowest plants simply grow ; 1 they increase by the addiiion of : units or parts ol the same kind ; and having the same office. 'They may be out to pieces and each portion is as perfect, as good as the rest. Rut in most cultivated plants there are t hree kinds of roots, or roots which have three separate offices: Firsf, f o lix, hold or maintain (Implants upright in the earth; second, to absorb nit (limcnt from the soil; third, to store it for the future growth of the plant. Bruce roots anchor the plants in the soil ; the tap I roots of most of the root crops jure the storehouses of sugar, j starch, pectine, etc., which sup , ply the stem, (lower and seed the j second year, and of which food i store we fake advantage to feed stock. The old and large roots j are merely service pipes for sap. ■j Roots are the earthly extremi Ity of plants by which the plant j food is obtained from the soil. Fibrils or feeders are t he thread j like rootlets which branch off | from the main roots, ami in cot ! ton, corn and some other plants permeate the surface of the soil to the extent of the height of the I parent plant. Spongioles are the t ips or ex i (realities of the rootlets contain ing air; they are simply guards j to the rootlets. Root hairs are extreme absorb I ents only found in the roots of ! some plants viz: mustard, iYe. Nature lias provided air roots, j soil roots and water roots adapt ; ed to each division of plants. Grass cut two weeks before j (lowering contains much more | digestible matter for stock than when cut after flowering; and by this plan of early cutting two j crops can be obtained both of hotter quality, and the quantity ; of both greatly exceeding the la ter cut single crop. Over ripe grass contains too ; much useless woody fibre and ; loses too much nut ricious seed to become a valuable fodder. A good hint to fowl raisers t (says the World) is af ; forded in the fact that all wild birds feed their young ppon ani ; mal (insect) food, even if berries, i brnls, seeds, Are, form the natural diet of the parents or adults of the same species. Thus young chickens will not thrive so well without it as they will if suppli ed with animal food in some shape. Earth worms are capital for very young chicks. Cooked meat, chopped up tine, with boil ed rice and potatoes, is a very nourishing and acceptable dish for them when young. Rut not too much of this- nor must it In 1 given too often. Otherwise they scour, from the excess of the meat feed." A little two or three limes a day will help them, until they i gel io be six weeks old. Ry that lime they will be strong enough to run in the fields ami grass, : where they will gather a more natural supply of this kind of food i and, generally, plenty of it. [Subscription!
