Wilmingtonian, on the subject 81 tiiimg IN
dian Corn.
Christiana, Del Nou 2fth, 1870.
sDrAR S1a-owing to press of BUSINESS
have not been able heretofore to comply with
your request, of giving an account OF the moue
pursued by me of tilling my corn. 1t mas peeh
a subject Of much study with me tor several
years and have made several experiments ana
Twill endeayour to give them to you, or the re-
suit of them, and leave my brother farmers to
decide upon that mode which may best suit
them Many will agree with me in my mode OF
ploughng but am aware Of the opposition
shall meet with in my practice of acintcr plough
ing, as there are many who believe that leaving
ground ploughed and exposed to the frost
through the winter will impoverish it. Expe-
rience has taught me it win not, but will add to
clearing it from filth, and greatly increase the
crop with less labour.
In1824, ploughed my ground in the fall, and
let it remain SO until spring; then double fur'
rowed it so shallow as not to turn up the sod,
and took out the middles and planted the rows
feet apart, both ways, and left but two stalks II
a hill, and went ON to harrow and plough much
after the old mode; but still thought less la
hour would do. ] had good crop, but found
had not as much as l thought had, owing to
wide planting and ploughing. Ithen concluded
after having the ground ploughed as before, to
plant closer and thicker but my neighbours still
said less than four feet would be too close; but
thought different and planted in the spring oil
1925, the same distance apart, and left three and
four stalks in hill, and by this mode had not
much more than half a crop. The next expert.
ment found to exceed my expectations. Last
winter and the early part of spring, ploughed
as before, and about the first of May put two
light furrows together, leaving space of about
% feet, and crossed ii out 5 feet the other way,
and planted and covered the c.rn with the har'
TOW, leaving but two stalks in hill; so that you
may see there was more in the ground than at Ell
ther ofthe other times. The lot that produced
so much, narrowed but twice with the improved
cultivator, and then ploughed it, two furrows to
arrow, and narrowed down the mddles.-But
soon found that the plough had injured it:
therefore resolved to not use the plough, ant
substituted the cultiyator alone. l have saved
at least one fourth of the work by not pursuing
the old mode of ploughing and wide planting
and have one fourth if nol one third more corr
for the last experiment; in which have grea
confidence, and recommend it to farmers

Making Cozys.-A writer in the Scotch
Farmers Magazine, gives the following Di-
rections to the Dairy Maid. Go to the COW
stall at z O'Clock; taae with you cold water
and sponge, ar. wash each cows udder
clean before milking; dowse the udder well
with cold water, winter and summer, as it
braces and repels heat. Keep your hands
and arms clean. Milk each COW as dry as
yon can, morning and evening, and when
you have MIXED each COW. as you suppose,
dry, begin again with the COW you first
MIXED, and drip them each, for the princi-
pal reason of cows failing in their milk is
from negligence in not milking each COW dry,
particularly at the time the calfis taken from
the COW. Suffer no one to milk COW but
yourself, and have no gossipping in the stall
Every Saturday night give an exact ac-
count of the quantity of milk each COW has
given in the week"

Foddering Caftle.-Dr. Deane, in his New
England Farmer, savs-"We should take
care not to begin to fodder till it is really
necessary. Because cattle that fodder will
not Craze so diligently When it is once be-
gun cattle will expect it, and it must be con-
tinued. When we Grst begin we should fod-
der early in the morning only; for at that
time of the day, the frost is usually on the
grass; SO that the cattle will not grazc. They
should not yet be housed, horses only ex-
cepted. But in wet weather the whole stock
should be housed, for they bear cold better
than wetness. Or, if not put into the barn
they should have shed in the yard, under
which they may shelter themselves.
The meanest fodder should not be deal
out first of all. The husks and stalks of In
dian corn are suitable for this season. The
straw and the worst hay should be reserved
to give them in the coolest weather, for it il
then that they have the keenest appetites
The hay of low ground, straw and haulm, j
salt hay may not be had, may be sprinklet
with salted water, if sailing it in the NOV
has been neglected. They will not only ca
il heartily, but live we'll upon it"

soft, and moist, but soon assume dark
brown colour, with frmness that en-

which before was wanting.
II is remarkable that in every state OF

ously upon them. 5
Soon after they arrive at their last

to enable them to continue their species;
and in this too, they are very singular,

nishcd with dart, the shaft Of which,

During HE season of population,
from sun rise to sunset, the noise they
make is so loud and perpetual, that lit
tie else can be heard IN the woods where
they abound, and it is doubtful, wheth-
er, during this season, or indeed during
their whole time Of existence in this
state, they eat any thing, or subsist
only by slipping the dew; for which pur-
pose they seem furnished with long
tube, extending frem their heads flat to
their breast, and terminating between
their legs without the power OF altering
its position. Other than this tube they
seem to. have none for the purpose of.
In short, the natural history OF this little
insect, seems highly to deserve the at
Iention Of the curious.

These may easily be taken apart, by
Tipping the middle through the grooves
