Curious Mcihod Of Planting Cora
Mr. John w. Sweet, Of Tyringham,
Berkshire cou1iy, informs Us that he plants
bis corn in the following manner, and re-
allied ITO bushels shelled corn 10 The acre.
He spreads whaf manurs be intends for
,he field on tho surface Of tho green.sward;
,ben he ploughs the land into ridges abons
three feet apart IN the fall--eaeh ridge or
row being made of,wo baek-fnrrows turn
ed upon a narrow strip OF sward which is
not disturbed. 10 the spring he rolls aud
harrows these ridges. and on the top Of
each ridge, l2 or il iuches apart, he plants
his bills OF coyu, 3 or 4 kernels 10 the hill,
aud cnl,ivates his corn through the season
with the hoe. cul,ivator and plough, as
much as he deems necessary. In this
,neihod, be remarked that he was not
troubled with weeds o. drought.
In the fall as soon Us his corn is ripe,
he gathers the ears, then pulls up all the
corn-stalks and lays them down leagth-
ways beiwesaihe furtows. and then splits
his ridges with the plough and covers
these stalks completely. Thus arc made
bis ridges for bis second crop Of corn, to be
planted the succeeding spring. The ITO
bushels was the seeoud crop, planted over
the buried stalks.
The above is suffciep, to give the rea-
der an idea ofihis system. lie contends
after the frs, crop he wants no manure
for bis corn ekssp, the stalks applied as
sc have described.--FGT. Idv.
