BADEN CORN
Messrs. Osborn & wit!e,s From a small
quantity ut Baden Corn sent me last season, by
the lion Ii. l.. Ellsworth, from Washing ton, ~ h,ch
was planted In nv garden, and cultivated with
much care, was enabled 10 obtain seed, sufficient
to plant nearly ten acres this season This corn
planted about The 18th OF May; but until
within fifteen DAYS, its appca rance was decidedly
more back Than any nenr my residence
Within few days It's growth has been exceed
,n~iy rapid; many OF the stalks are bent down
bv the want Ct st:cng,h to support tho weigh,
of tho leaf al tho top
This corn is much taller than the kind usually
planted here: and tho stalk remarkably stout,
perhaps nearly double tho thickness Of tho other;
.hc le Il longer md broader, and OF course more
,al,iab le for fodder.
But il to The cx ;raordnarv frui,fu.ncss Of the
Baden corn, and of which we have ample
promise, that l wish to call your attention. 1t
promises all that Mr.. 3 ,dcn gave the public
reason TO expect of II. On many Of the stalks I
already no'.o. shoots for seven ears; in some IN
sta ees eight nrd even nine; but whether they
Will produce reflect ears, Is however, yet to DO
pro. ed.
In locking oy CT a li1il Of two acres which from
its elevations Il forward Than the res, notice
that all he stalks indicate this fertility, 10
greater less extent; and good judges of
opinion, that none Of Tho stalks in this field prom
! Use less than three c.-s
Should 'h,s corr in the fal. Of the year, yield e.
quail 10 It's preseni = -pect, il will certainly be- an
acquisition 10 our State. AT that time, with your
PERMISSION s.- AXE inc liberty OF Communica-
ting you more particularly, the result. have
already noted some facts, which think Of some
consequence, IN caso this corn should come into
general cultivation. n. WEST.

EtsLY FRrIC--iherc is thing more than
Us .,iv vcxa'ous ia .:,;s .sali oiours-an6 ~
Is, to be AT iderahie paus IN collecting early
and choice varieties OF fruit, a:d teiure they can
approach maturity, or Yourselves have touch of
their quality, to find them disappearing in tho
,haws of Your idle neiohbos'= sons, or III the pack
OF some vagabond,zin" commones. These things,
however, rni. be expected; hut there many
farmers who, IN the article Of early fruit, ~
negligent those who expect to live on other
orchards, and gardens. Now there is no neccss
" for This. Any who owns few rods
land, can have, and should have, supply OF fl
for himself aud fniiy fruit of most varieties and
such adapted TO all seasons. There is,
propricty III my Fostering my neighbor for his
carly cherries, pea apples, when may just
as well have them own. Yet how manv
farmers there IRE, alta mechanics and prof ssional
men too, who have orchards Of their own, that

non, aud 5ougii apples. and rich summer pcnrs,
or beg them Of theIr neig ibors, when few shil-
lings expense in the purchase OF trees in graft

dant supply Of these desirable fruits 1t should
be "a standing maxim with the farmer, never
TO be dependent others for what has own frm
can produce; and # those who a:c now without
early fruit, will al once Sc. about procuring II in
the proper WAYS, they will doubt be ms rluch
