On To Victory. The march jf the Republican party is to be onward ! The critical period in its career has been passed. IV i tical sagacity and unselfish patriotism have triumphed in the abandonment at Cincinnati of all personal consider ations aud factional interests, in the all-absorbing desire to secure a ticket that would command universal con fidence and. assure the nation that the ? ?^?wU'-!il'i^h0 pata of progress, j move opw*v: 1 *. ? ; j 1 ...u?d in nil needed roforms, inspired by n common loyalty, and presenting an unbroken front to the enemies of good government. For this self abnegation, the sur rendering of personal favorites, and the unanimity displayed by all when the choice of tho convention was made known, the delegates of tho several Stales deserve and will re ceive the thanks and gratitude of the eanatrY. They bridged over bur ?nly danger, and made certain tt victory for us. If it hat* den? nothing more, the Democratic parly haa at least opened the eyes of | len? of thousands to its incapacity to even legislate foy the interest of the nation. Under its control heeded legislation has been denied; the ap propriation bills necessary to carry on the Government have been sus pended; absolutely nothing has be?h done except 10 waste millions of the poopta's money in investigations con ceived in partisan malice and carried on lor 'he sole purpose of securing for the Democratic party cheap political capital far the Presidential campaign. Mond citizens everywhere have watched these proceedings with ans icly and disgust, and will hail wilh rejoicing the prospect, now offered, of| a deliverance from the misrule which if long continued would ban j; runt (ho nation and cover i(3 name with dis grace and reproach. .All hail to the awakened patriotism of !Jig people, and to the standard benrera chosen to lead Ihcni out of darkness into light! Let every ban lier have inscribed upon it, ?'union of good men for the preservation of good government." Let c^ory hon est citizen lay aside petty jcalotrio3 and local disputes, and join with his neighbors in accomplishing the work that had hitherto been r ?gnrdcri an doubtful.

F??RKS, Chairman. A. T. Oaix, Secretary. Theory and Practice. It certainly speaks poorly for our systems of culture, that in practice wc fall so far short of the crop which thoory would lead us to expect. There is no theoretical reason why one hill of corn should be under correct practice, inferior to its neigh bor There is no reason wc can give why one stalk should bear one or two cars, and its neighbor no oir at. all. There is enough in .this idea alone to task to tho uttermost the energies of an experimental station, and the solving of this ono question would bo of untold benefit to the farmer Tho capabilities of a hold of corn arc enormous, as compared to ?aili experiences. Many farmers de ny the po.^ibility of an hundred bushel of corn grain as a farm crop, ami the idea of a two hundred bushel yield seems perfectly visionary. What is easier, Baya tho Scientific Fanner, than that each kernel of seed planted should produce at least one medium* sized ear? It seems at least to us, easy lo form such u supposition, for wo have seen a hill of fivo plants benrng ten good cars of corn. To at tnin this' supposition, all we would seem to have to do would be to plant uniform and carefully selectod seed in a uniform manner, and give tho field uniform and proper culture. What the theoretical result of such a procccduro in a field containing 29, 0'10 stalks 1? tho acre, or a. field planted in drills three feet apart, and witli plants each six inches apart in the drill is shown by the following experiment. We selected from the corn crib, May ?, three good, iivM, class ,.car* of corn, 8t inches long, of the eight rowed kind. The weight of tiie shell ed corn, and thw possible product of an acre of 20,040 cars, is as below: Per ear Per aero. 5.?7 a/, or 10.100 lbs. = 188} Inn. G.14 ox or 11,144 lbs^ 199 bus. 5.00 m. or 0,070 lbs. E| 102 bus. Wo llioh selected a rather under average car just 7 inches long, which bus been laying on a shelf in n.y study since harvest, and was perfectly air dry, and found the grain weighed 1,800 grains or 4. 128 o/.. av. This would rcpscaeht a theoretical yield of 7,-17*.) lbs., or 13!>i bus. per acre. When ono medium ear per stalk will produce loo bushels of grain (and dry at that) per acte, and one largo or good sized ear will produce, in like manner, at tho rate of 200 bushels per acre, and when experience tells us that very often two large cars are borne on one italic, and occa sionally three or even four care result from a single kernel planted, it is tin u-ise to be satisfied with an average crop ot 85 bushels per acre, or even a large crop of 100 bushels, hut should strive to so study into and solve the conditions ' necessary for success, as to obtain sometime at least an approach to the theoretical re sults. Wo have but just entered upon the platform of farming as a study, and there is much that is encouraging iu the consideration of the possibilities before us, there is much that is dis couraging in the finding out of how little we rarely do know compared lo what there is to bo known; there is a further 'encouragement in the thought that all it requires of any one is careful thought and thorough trial, and correct reasoning to open up to the farmer the possibilities of nature, ami to indicate to him, the courses which lend hope to his antici pations, and joy to his fulfillments.
