RETURNS again the hallow'd morn,
Thstgave our Nation. birth,
And she who was the Tyrant's scorn,
Assumed her place on Earth.
Her dawn was red with crimson clouds,
The fiery hues Of War,
But brightly through those burning shrouds
Burst forth the guiding star.
That star shone quenchless DER the land,
In battles stormy hour,
Ightning a small but daring band,
To Freedom snd TO power.
And when afar the foe was flown,
And battles rage was o'er,
Still clear and peacefully At shones
Along Coiumbia's shore.
And when was that. that peerless ray,
That through the cloud Of bght,
And mid the dread and dire ARRAY,
Arose guiding light.

lately heard that CROP oft was gather
ed at Council Bluffs, and the produce OF
one acre was 100 bushels. 3rd. The
Pop corn, as it is vulgarly called this
is very prolific, and bears punches OF ears,
tier above tier and think that it might
be cultivated to advantage and saved by
cutting itup near the roots, in the man.
ner that Stock-corn is used in Kentucky.
4th. Stockholm, bears long slender
ear, and is dried for feeding cattle, with
out diyesting it of its ears.
5th. Broom-corn. and hocolate-corn,
or Holcus Bicolor. This corn might
with proper management become an ar
ticle of much benefit, it is used by the
first settlers of this quarter of the coun-
try, instead Of chocolate, and is good
substitute. The preparation is simple.
| will if you desire it, give you the re-
ceipt for making it. 1t might very well
be introduced in the manufacturing Of
Chocolate, and be saving of much ex-
pense in the purchase of cocoa-nuts.
Of DTllet.-We have three varieties,
and they are worthy the attention of the
experimental farmer.
Our Coffee-nut tree, is tall forest
tree, that grows on the Missouri bottoms,
on the alluvial lands of Kentucky, on the
Mississippi flats, and elsewhere. 1t is a
beautiful tree, and would be highly orna-
mental, as we'll as useful. The nut was
used by the first settlers in Kentucky in
place of Coffee.--I tried it by way of ex-
pertinent, and thought livery good.
The Honey Locust exudes gum, not
inferior to Gum Arabic for many uses.
| made trial Of it, but | am not certain
that it possesses any medical virtues, al
though l think, the qualities of the Gum
Arabic, are rather MURAL. The Honey
Locust, grows very large here.
The Catalpa and the Creeper that find
place in the gardens of the Eastern
States, grow spontaneously here, and on
the banks of the Ohio. With us the
Creeper adheres to the trunks of our
overgrown trees, and scatters its gay
flowers to the passing wind.
Dwarf Plum-trees, grow near this, on
Prairie land, the fruit is said to be sweet
and agreeable. Early grapes grow there
also. Natural plums are plenty, and Of
several varieties. Gooseberries, &c. &c
grow in great abundance.
OfMint, we have great variety, some
with peculiar fragrance, and if can find
suitable mode of conveyance, will en-
deavor to procure and send you such
seed, as may be in my power--and in
any wise calculated to promote your use
full purposes. Yours, sc.

FROM THE VERMONT YE0MAN.
A NEW SORT OF INDIAN CORN

ANEW SORT OF INDIAN CORN.
As was on my way to Boston, in Oc'
tober, 1917, an acquaintance OF mine tolo
me that man in Bedford, by the name
|of Porter, had raised that year new sor
|of corn, that was early and large. Oul
corn having been cut off by the frost fol
two or three years, was anxious to en-
brace an opportunity to get an earlier
sort, and the eight rowed corn was SO un-
productive, did not choose to plant it,
and had not for many years. therefore
called on MIR. Porter, who took me into
his corn house, where he Showed me the
most handsome bin of corn ever saw.
The ears were large and bright, and
from eight to twelve inches long; and
there were from ten to eighteen, but
generally from twelve to sixteen rows ON
an ear. Mr.. p. told me that it was a
| fortnight earlier there than the little eight
rowed Canada corn. I bought about
| three pecks of it; part of it in the ear
! to show its quality. l gave away seve-
! raj quarts OF it to my friends on my way
home. On the 2sth day of May, 1878,
planted piece of ground containing
eighty -four rods by exact measurement,
with some of said corn. furrowed my
ground about 81 feet apart one way |
then took yard manure, that was carried
out and laid in large heap the fall be-
fore, and spread it all along in the fur
rows; then took horse and plough
and turned the burrows back on the ma
nure; l then put three kernels in hill,
and planted the hills about 30 inches
apart, which made it about twice as thick
that way as the other. 1t grew very
large, and was admired. 81 never saw
the like" was the general expression of
all who noticed it. Some of my neigh
bors wished me to ascertain the quantity
that grew on that piece OF ground, which
I have done as nearly as could with con-
venience. In September, picked for
seed the first ripe ears all over the piece,
and traced up just 90 ears in trace, and
le0 traces, which produced 5000 ears.
/ have since shelled out greater part
of ii, and calculated the remainder with
which l have shelled, and find the whole
to amount to % bushels. The fore part
of October gathered the remainder, and
had it husked out in one evening, and
laid it in heap in my corn house and
the next day we picked it over, and that
(which was then sufficiently dry to put in
to the bin, we measured in basket
which holds % bushels of shelled corn,
and had 26 baskets, which we judge
would be as much or more than IS
bushels of shelled corn, which, together
with % bushels of seed corn, makes 81
bushels; and we concluded that the part
Edwardsville spectator. [volume] (Edwardsville, Ill.) 1819-1826, 1821-06-26

we refused to put into the bin was
equivalent to the four rods which tho
piece of ground contained over half an
acre--and by the cobs about in the field,
we judged that the hens and turkeys had
devoured 4 or S bushels. l therefore
concluded that the whole product was as
much as at the rate of one hundred and
Sirteen bushels to the acre.
1t being good season for corn, doubt
less l should have had large crop if
had planted my old sort but presume
not SO much by more than one quarter
this l ascertained by planting some side
by side, and found its produce to be less
than the new, by more than one quarter.
Finding this new sort of corn to be SO
valuable an acquisition, and wishing to
have it propagated as much as possible,
| saved a large quantity of it for seed
and, that there might be a small be-
ginning of it at least in each town in the
state, | took $50 ears of it last October,
and carried them to Montpelier, that the
members of the legislature, who live SO
remote, that they would not otherwise
have an opportunity to obtain it, might
each OF them take an ear.
