To say soft and pleasing thing.

With love of heavens own making
This Is not poets song,
But a trne hearts speaking;

PREpARATIoN OF SEED CORN.

Iii Lansing Wetmore, an experienced Pennsyl-
vania farmer states that he has had his crop in
creased about 33 per cent, by simple preparation
Of the seed, as follows
Atnoon Of the day before planting. 18th Of May,
(says Mr. w put my seed corn to soak in a strong
decoction OF coppcras water-say two pounds of
copperas 10 warm soft water sufficient to cover a
bushel ofcorn. The next morning took out peck
added apint or more Of soft soap, stirred it thor
oughy, then put on plaster enough to make il con-
venient 10 drop for planting, say one quart The
whole field planted with seed thus prepared
except four rows. which were planted with seed
without any preparation. The after culture ofthe
whole was alikc-passng through each way with
the cultiyaior aud hoeiug twice. The four rows
last mentioned were Gu, up harvested, and the corn
weighed and measured by itself; also four rows
next adjoining, the seed Of which had been prepar.
ed as above.
The produce Of the four rows OF unprepared seed
was eleven bushels and haf-the produce ofthc
four rows from the prepared seed was seventeen
bushe's-a difference Olive and half bushels Of
ears in one hundred and twenty hills. The yield
Of the remainder ofthe field averaged fully equal
to the four best rows measured.
The difference in the growth and appearance Of
the corn ofthe prepared and unprepared seed was
striking from the time Of its appearance above
ground until it tasseed-the former looking green
and vigorous, the latter puny and yellow. IL was
all cut down BY the frost when about three in
ches high, but came on finely after the FIRST Of
June There was scarcely soft ear in the whole
field. excepting on the four rows OF unpreplred
seed. These we're about week later in ripen-
ing than tina, from the prepared seed The soil
IS a sandy loan. The whole expense of prepar-
ing the bnshe and three pecks Of seed did not
exceed % l-2 cents. The increased produce of
the field by preparing the seed, was 200 bush
els ofears.
