when the ears and husks are allowed 10 stand till
late in October. When your corn is not quite hard
enough 10 bear frost and you are lucky enough
TO find out that hard frost is coming on, you may
make saving by cutting the whole early. But If
you were deceived and the frost did not come your
corn would ripen faster in the hill than in the
shock.
As corn slower is quite valuable when it is well
cured the corn ought to be harvested as soon as il
will bear slowing away in the bin. Ilusks are
worth but little when they stand in the field till late
in November ye, your corn is no where safer ill
November when you have good lerces, than in the
oren field
In regard to the time Of topping, when topping is
practiced, there is some difference Of opinion A.
mong farmers. Numerous irials have shown that
late topping gives better corn than early topping
The corn has been weighed and found considera-
bly, heavier in one case than in the other. Those
who delay topping till the ears are hard say the ear
has now had the advantage Of all the circulation
through the stalk.
Those who top early contend that the sun is let
in with more power aud that the ears rpen faster.
We must have numerous trials before every body
will be satisfied. Some allowance must be made
for circumstances. Ifyou wish to clear your field
early for the purpose Of stocking down, you " j
incline TO cut the whole at the and carry it to
the sides for shocking-or shock ii on the part Of
the field that you have seeded.
| We often SOW turnips among corn at the last hoe
ing, in July. These grow but little till the tops
are taken off from the corn Then they start and
grow nearly as last as when the whole body is re
moved. Those who take the tops oil early have
clearly the advantage as far as turniPs are con
| cerned.
II has been recently stated to us that corn is no
injured by topping as soon as the silk appears
that is If four rows aud four left to product
the pollen seed for the whole, the ears on ih'
hills that we're cut as soon the silk appears vii
be as heavy as the ears where the stalk was lief
standing
We think one trial would not be sufficient to sat
isfy every farmer Of the correctness Of this.
One more remark should be made in regard 4
husking. When the tops have been removed am
the corn allowed TO stand open to the weather tn
husks become loose and il is much easier gcltnI
hold Of them than when they have been confined Il
the shock and made TO cling close TO the ear

Cutting Corn Stalks.

1t IS a common practice to commence cutting
these stalks, as low the top of the ear about the
hrst of September. This was the original mode of
treating Indian corn stover. After drying day or
two the stalks are bound in bundles and then made
into pixies, where they stand three or four weeks to
be cured.
more recent practice is to cut the whole stalk
at the root as soon as the ear has hardened little.
and after letting ii dry day set the whole in shocks
in the field aud suffer il to stand two or three
weeks before husking.
This mode is in very general practice on the
Connecticut river, and within few years il has
crept along to the vicinity Of Boston Its adyo-
Gates insist that in this way they can better secure
the ears against the lrosts Of September, leaving
them 10 I'll up and hardca ia the shock-ihat the
slower Is more valuable and that the labor IS less
From the trials that we have made on our own
land we are inclined TO think that not much labor
is saved, particularly when You have men who have
not been used TO the practice The labor of load
ing is onerous, and Il Is quite certain that the husk
ing can be done more rapidly when the tops have
been entirely separated from the ears
Yet We think It true thal the stover will be more
valuable when the whole IS cut at the bottom than
