MULBERRY PASTURES FOR Cows.-lt

leaves are excellen, food for cows--theY.
are preferred by them 10 every other Kind
offood, when they once get taste ofthem.
In The south, where pasiurase is scarce,i
especially during dry weather, pla'ata-
lions Of mulberry trees, particularly the
morus mul,icaulis, would be very valua-
hle for this purpose alone. A hundred
acres of morus multicaulis could be plant
ed with less expense than it could be well
seeded in grass, even if the grass would
live there, and the pasturase from them
would be fully equal, if not more, than il,
would be from grass; besides. The fnliage
would mol be liable 10 injury during the
summer droushls, but would rather be inn
proved by the dry atmosphere and hot eli

NEW GROUND CORN.

Mr.. Ep,ToR.-There are lew of our
farmers, particularly those who cultivate
the pine lands, bul are aware of the dltli-
Guilty of rearing good, Or even passable
crop, upon ground OF The first years tend
ing, unless the timber be perfectly dead,
and the ground grubbed; which latter pro-
cess, is now considered unnecessarily Ia
borious. as we'll as injurious TO the land.
Even then, corn planted in it, has ten
deucy TO run 100 much to stalk, III other
words, producing tall slender stulk, wiIt,
no ear on it, aud in many instances, not
even shoot As remedy for this, the
following simple course is recommended:
After The Corn has been "laid by" and
the tassel pretty well blown or spread, land
the shoots formed, of the most forward
stalks, pull the rassel out of every other
row OF Coru. This is proposed, because
the process may be more regularly ac-
colnplished; but if theCorn is more luxu-
RANT in some spots than in others, which
is usually the case, the tassels may be pull
ed out pramiscuously, over the ield,ne
ly in the proportion of every other row;
but always from the stalk that has the
least, or no shoot, or where the shoot does
not appear thrifty, in proportion to the
luxurlance Of the stalk. The effect is 10
Stop the growth upwards, of the stalk,
and thereby aid the sheOt; as the strength
and nourshment, which is sent up from
the roots, ceases to be consumed in the
tassel, it forces its way out at The first
yielding point which presents itself, which
is the shoot, near the top, thai produces
the ear of corn. The consequence is, that
in due time, fae ears of corn appear,
where, othewise. in all probability, would
have been only worthless shoots. The
lassel should notbe pulled out, lower than
The second joint from the top.
This is simple and effective operation.
Yet, simple as it is, however, i, requires
much diligence aud perseverance,; buI it
most amply repays the labor, in the lars-
er produce OF the corn, besides af1Ordlns
to horses, wholesome aud renovalins
diet; for they are remarkably fond Of the
rassel of the corn, while green aud juicy.
The ,assel should not he pulled out of the
corn, all at the same time, but, as The
smaller stalks approach maturity; nor
should they be pulled out too much in Il
cluster, If prumlscuously.
have tried this plan, experimenially,
both in The garden, and in the field: aui
invariably found it of advantage. 1t is
peculiarly beneficial to corn in new ground,
fur the reasons above stated, that it has a
greater tendency there, TO run TOO much to
stalk and if generally prac,iced. will be
found OF great utility

Soil for the culture Of Cotton.-At a
meeting Of the Asiatic Society, Mr.. Solly
read a report OH the chemical examiua
ton of series of soils from some of the
principal cotton plantations Of Georgia,
which had been procured by Viscoum'
PaIm.rston, at The request Of the commit
tee Of commerce and agriculture ct The So
cie,y. The examination of these soils
was undertaken with view to ascertain
some of the circumstances found to be
most favorable 10 the cultivation of cotton
in Georgia, aud thus indicating the best
manner of improving the cult alton of
cotton in India. Mr.. SoHy stntcd rhrt.

kind of any practical value, j, was ab,o
lutely necessary 10 tako into account

the nature OF the climates of The countries
So compared.-such as the limits of tenn
peralure, the rapidity Of evaporation, the
form of the surface Of the country. the ra.
dialins powerof tho soil, The retentive
power for water, and many other points.
These were all Of the utmost importance
and would completely modify The action
of The soil, so that soil which in one
situation would be excellent for the cult
vatior ofcotton, would i'll another climate

ored oxides OF iron and manganese. The
quantity of organic matter which they
contained was small. One Of the most
important facts observed was, the ex
tremely small portion Of carbonate, or III.

stance is not so essential TO a good cotton
soil, as has heen thought by so'nc writers
on the cultivation of cotton. The great
difference also between the black cotton
soil of America, and that Of India, was
poiuled out; the former being composed
of Gne, while, siticious sand containing
but very little alum;na. and colorod Who'll

of far less importance, than that it should
