Almost every farmer has some method OF
sleeping his corn before planting, and roll
ing it in either plaster, ashes, lime or tar;
all of which, at some times, are an advan-
tage, and at other times disadvantage.
After my corn comes up, and is sufficiently
large to be seen in rows, commence plough
ing and hoeing, and continue it until the corn
begins to show signs of setting for ears, be-
ing particular to keep the plough a-going in
dry weather. BY the above culture have
been enabled to collect from fifty to eighty
bushels per acre; and by mixing pumpkin
seeds, and planting it with the corn, have
raised four ox-cart loads to the acre.
have already described my method OF
collecting and preserving the top and bot.
tom stalks for fodder. I shall proceed to
my next crop, the next spring, which shall
be corn, and proportion Of potatoes; Civ
ing the preference to corn, on account OF the
great quantity of fodder. And this year TIL
ling, | break up the sod which laid last year
beneath the furrow of the corn plough;
thereby am enabled again to raise good
crop Of corn, and subdue all the wild grass,
roots and weeds which laid at the bottom of
the furrow. Third year, ] split the corn
hills with plough, harrow the ground we'll,
then plough, harrow gain, aud sow my oats
and fax. NV oats will produce about thirty
bushels and upwards, per acre. depending
on the season for their yielding; and my
fax will average sixteen bushels of seed, and
three hundred weight to the acre. will
observe, that where the ground is strong,
and the oats very forward, they ought to oe
fed off to the ground. before they have a
Joint. This prevents their lodging, and gives
the under oats an opportunity to come for
ward, which will much increase the quanti-
ty. The oat stubble and fax ground should
soon be ploughed, narrowed, and cross
ploughed; then draw on your manure, about
twenty ox-cart loads to the acre, spread and
plough it in as soon as possible. If you in
tend to sow rye, put it in about the first OF
September, and sow your timothy seed after
the harrow, eight quarts TO the acre; then
use roller, which breaks the Jumps. Ii
may be fed off during the fall, BY calves,
colts or sheep, without any disadvantage II
YOU intend it for wheat, SOW it about the
twenty fifth of September, and follow the
same method as with the rye: SOW clover ir
the spring, when the ground is open incrack.
about six pound to the acre. BY following
the above directions, / have always realizet
good crop Of grain, and great crop 0

TREATMENT FOR SEED WHEAT.

TREATMENT FOR SEED WHEAT
A wealthy retired Somersetshire farmer
asserts, that for thrty-three years be treat
ed his seed wheat in the following manner,
and always grew good crops, except from
smut or blight He collected as many half
bushels Of sleeps dung, as he intended to
SOW quarters of wheat: as much of the dung
placed in cooler, or other large tub as
the quantity of wheat allotted to it, and six
teen gallons of water. and four gallons of
pork or other brine, of sufficient strength to
swim an egg, would permit. The brine and
water he put together in copper or furnace,
and make it scalding hot--in which state he
poured it into the vessel that contained the
dung, covering the former sufficiently close
with sacks, TO prevent as much as possible,
the steam from evaporating. When the
compound had become sufficiently cool to
admit of the operation, he had the sheep's
dung rubbed, by hand till it was entirely dis
solved; and then, whilst the liquid was sill
luke warm, he infused the wheat which re-
manned in soak, closely covered, for thirty
six hours--at the expiration of which it was
taken out of the liquid, placed III str4incrs,
and as soon as it had done dripping, spread
on the floor of barn or granary, after the
manner of malt on the floor of malt house,
frequently turning it till nearly dry, well
powdering it, whilst a little damp, with fine
ly pulveri2ed lime.
