EARLY CORN.

There are three varieties of corn that
every farmer should plant expressly for
using green without reference to it as q
field crop. There are hut few people in
this country, but that are fond of boiled
corn; and by little extra pains the season
for using it may be heightened three or four
weeks that is, it may be procured one
month earlier than it generally is by tho
common field culture.
The varieties which we would recon-
mend are the Golden soix, Fiour-corn, or
York cheat, and the Sweet corn.
Golden sOix is the earliest corn with
which we are acquainted; the ears are
small, but well shaped and the corn is well
favored.
Flour corn, or York cheat, is a white soft
corn which comes in soon after the former,
the ears are of good size, and it does not be-
come hard and fiinty like common corn, on
which account it continues longer fit for
use. This will last until the sweet corn is
fit for use. This corn was named York
cheat because it was said TO have been
ground with wheat in the early settlements
of this country, when it could not be detect
ed by the color otthe flour.
.Siceet corn.-This is undoubtedly superb
or to all other varieties for boiling; it is
very sweet and unlike other varieties; re-
mains soft until it hardens by drying, when
it becomes much shrivelled.
Either or all of these varieties may be
planted in hot beds; or in light boxes ofearth
which may be kept in warm situations about
a house until the fore part of May, when
the plants may be taken out of the beds or
box, and planted in hills in open ground,
putting plenty ofmanure under the hill, and
setting the plants pretty deep in the soil, so
that the tops should be killed by the late
frosts, the roots would not be injured.
