CORN.

It's time ia be putting the corn ground in
order. and while The grower may be making
his arrangements. let him not forget that his
success will mainly depend upon the pains
which he may bestow in the preparation of
his ground--that he should plough it deep,
pulverize j, finely, and manure i; with every
thing III the shape of fertilizers which he can
command, giving it TO it broadcast, and with
liberal hand, not emitting 10 give TO each
hill mixture of ashes and plaster, in the pro-,
portion of five bushels of ashes and one Of
plaster TO the acre.. THIS may appear small
quantity to be spread over several thousand
bulls, but. small as it may be, there is enough
OF the virtue of fertility in it-enough of the
peculiar food of the corn plant-to impart to
it the capacity to increase its yield fully twen-
ty-five per cent. Early planting we advise as
the safest aud best practice, besides afforinG
time for replanting in the event Of, the plants
being cut off by the worm, or any other of
the numerous enemies and ills TO which theY
are subject. If the cut-worm should he fear
ed, two bushels Of salt to the acre might be
found TO prove their quie,i,s, while it would
not fail td be of service in promoting the
growth of the plants.

follow 1t; so he set the example, aud led all
hands to the field, and they old not return TO
the house until all the hay was in the barn.
The event seemed to prove the sagacity of
Bernard's movement, for the weather changed
in the night terrible storm came on, aud
the next morning the stream had overlooked
its bank. and swept off every particle Of new
mown grass. The hay harvest of every other
farmer IN the neighborhood was utterly des-
troyed. Bernard alone saved his hay.
The first experiment gave him such conf
dence in the opinion Of the lawyer, that ever
after he adopted it as rule of conduct, and
became, thanks to his order and diligence,
one of the riches, farmers in the country. He
never forgot The service which M. de la Ger
mandai had rendered him, and he brought cv-
cry year TO thai lawyer, pair of good ia:
chickens and he was in the habit of saying
to his neighbors, when they were talking of
the lawyers, that next TO the commands of
God and the church, the most profitable thing
IN the world was lawyers opinion.

MODE OF PREPARING SEED CORN WITH TAR

Mr.. EDIToR,-Dear Sir: herewith send
you sample of corn, prepared with tar and
ashes in the same manner that have prepar-
ed it for planting for the las. twenty years,
and in no case in all that time have had nv
corn pulled up or injured by crows, birds,
fowls or squirrels, or anything else after hav-
ing planted, nor have ever seen anything
that would eat il as how prepared, which is
in the following manner. Being prepared
with an iron kettle, pour one peck corn,
half a bushel dry ashes, one pound tar, and
one and half pals scading water, put. the
tar in the kettle, then the water, stir until the
Tar is dissolved and incorporated with water;
then add the corn, stir briskly, until The corn
has taken up the tar, and the water becomes
clear. then turn off the wafer and turn the
'arred corn on the ashes, stir again briskly
until the corn is completely coated with
ashes, (the whole process no. requiring mors
than FIVE minutes,) ii is then fit for use and
may be kept through the season aud be ready
for planting when wanted. Plaster or any
other fertiIizing substance that is pulverized
and dry will answer the purpose of ashes; as
the corn will take up but small part of the
ashes the surplus can be taken out by passing
them over selves, if desired. :,
