The Corn CrOD,

Indian corn will soon be among our largest
exports anything therefore, which may tend to
cheaper its production, and facilitate getting it
either to home or foreign market, will be adj
ding so much to the wealth of the country. AT
present prices, all acknowledge it to be very
profitable crop to the Western farmer, when
proper attention is bestowed upon the culture !;
we can show it to be equally so in New York,
and even sterile New England.
No farmer should think of planting corn on
land that is not in a condition to yield him at
least thirty bushels to the acre, and fifty bushels
would be still more profitable. If his land can
not produce this, he had better cultivate it in
some other crop till it can IF it yields forty or
fifty bushels per acre, under an ordinary rotation,
the stalks in the Northern States will pay all
expenses Of cultivation, leaving the corn a clear
profit, after deducting the interest Of the money
on the land In this case we assume that the
stalks are cut up close to the ground, with the
corn on-then properly cured-und that they
are prepared by the cutting machine before feed
ing them out to the stock. Many sound prac-
tical farmers, contend that, cured and prepared
in this way, good quality of cotnstocks is as
valuable for cattle fodder as hay. On an aver
age, we do not think so, but will put them down
at half the present value of hay here-say five
dollars per ton. Admitting that they average
four tons per acre. well dried, their value would
be twenty dollars, which is certainly more than
the average cost of cutiyating an acre Of corn
Corn is now worth seventy-6ve cents per bushe
in this market. Thirty bushels would be $22 so
fifty bushels $3.50 per acre. Allowing IS fol
rent of land, and large profit would be left
unless one had been very eXtravagant in the pur
chase Of manure; and even in this case, no
more than one third, or one half should b.
charged to the corn crop, as much Of its lertilit
would be still remaining in the ground for tn
succeeding crops-Ammicm AgricuhwiA

Agricultural.
The Organic part Of Soils,

That portion of the common earth usually
denominated organic, is found by the agricultural
chemist to vary much, both in quality and guam
tity. in different soils In those Of peaty con-
formation or character, it exists in great album
dance, and the same remark applies not unfre-
quently with like correctness to lands that have
long been cultivated and strengthened by frequent
and copious applications of invigoratng manures.
Some Of the most productive soils that have
been chemically examined, have yielded from
ten to twenty per cent of organic matters, and
under the most favorable circumstances, it has
rarely amounted, in the richest, to more than
one quarter or twenty-five per cent.
Some of the most productive wheat fields in
Great Britain have been found to contain nc
more than nine or ten parts of purely organic
matter in the hundred A distinguished agri-
cultural writer in remarklng upon this subject
says:-
Goats and rye will grow in a soil containing
only one and half per cent and barely when
only two or three parts are present.-In very old
pasture lands, and in gardens, vegetable (organic)
matter occasionally accumulates so as to be in
furious, and overload the upper soil.
This contingency, however, is one that need
not be dreaded in this country though it
may sometimes happen in others where the soil
is older and better manured.-Mainc Farmer

FFightM Slaughter.-lt ls stated IN the Paris
journals that the British Government has lately
received information from its agents on the
Western coast of Africa of frightful occurrence,
which, however, is not novel in the annals of
slavery. A negro Chief having 1900 slaves
upon his hands, and being unable tie dispose OF
them, had them all killed before his own eyes.

BY JAMES BENNETT.

The Victor's sword-unsheath the blaze
And lay the polished scabbard by,
For Murder is the Warriors trade,
Apprenticed long to kill, or die
Upon the CORY field, where ire
Will only with his breath expire.
Is yet placed within the hand,
With allits gilded mOuntings gay,
OF one, who led forth his command"
By "Aho's" bloody stream last May?
It's clang to pitch the notes of woe
To orphans cries in Mexico?
The Victor's music is the wall
Ofstarving Orphans Widows cries
Heart-piercing groans upon the gale
Of comrades fallen meier to rise
The neigh of steeds-the clash Of steel
The bugles note-the lannon's peal.
What wears the Victor of the field,
Whose arms have made the foeman bow;
And does he mercy's sceptre WELD?
No-wreaths of laurel deck his brow
That quickly fade-his fame's but breath,
While, Cain-lke, he stands hooking death.
The pennons, torn. blood-stained, that stream
Above the rife, sword, and lance,
And steeds, whose trappmgs brightly CLEAN
As,o'er the field they gaily pranco,
May please the eye, and nerve the hand,
For chief to lead his warrior band;-
What though a sword that pierced heart,
Fresh dripping with life's purple dye,
Shall on the scroll of Fame imFart
A warriors me-each, passing by,
Will point Scorn's finger to that blade,
And lips unborn Will curse his trade.
God speed the time, the promised hour
When Peace shall DER the nations sway
The olive branch, and tyrant power
Shall in the lap of mercy play
Wars kennels not a cur contain,
Or vultures smell battle plain;
But Kindness, Freedom, Love, and Truth,
BY Mercy led, joined hand in hand,
Shall hoary age to joyous youth
Acknowledged Rulers of each land,
For ALL from city, mount and wood
Will form "a League of Brotherhood"
