Time for planting Corn.

Corn, planted in the middle and nor
thern states, from the Goth of May TO
the LIST of June, with proper manage
ment, can be made 10 Vegetate in four
or five days, and in q week more, will
be large enough to weed. If planted
too early, it will often lie in the ground
two or three weeks before it will come
up, and by the middle Of June, it will
not be near SO large nor vigorous as that
planted towards the end of May.
Previous to planting, the termination
of the corn may be fastened by steep
ing it, as directed, and the kernel may
be completely protected against the raw
ages of grubs, wire worms, birds, SOUR
rels, g., by smearing it over with tar
dissolved in boiling water, and then roll
ing it in powdered plaster until it is dry

support their own useless growth, and
abstract that nourishment from 1t, which
ought to go exclusively TO support the
crop. Secondly, they crowd upon 9TH
er plants above ground, prevent them
from branching out their roots and de-
prive them of free circulation of air
necessary Tor their health and vigor, so
that they shoot up only single, weak,
sckly stalks, incapable of producing u
valuable crop. Thirdly, they throw off
from the soil through their leaves into
the air, an almost incredible quantity Of
moisture, and speedily reduce the ground
to so dry state, as to be fit for weeds
only 10 grow in. So enormous is the
quantity thrown off by some plants, that
it actually exceeds more than twice their
own weight in single day. A bunch
of grass, placed, during very dry sea-
son, under large vessel, sent off moist
ure in two minutes SD as 10 cover the
vessel with drops, which run down its
sides. DR.. Watson, who first performed
this experiment, was led to conclude
from its results that an acre of grass ex-
hales more than thirty hogsheads day
Plants are in fact but channels through
which moisture is conveyed up from the
soil to be dissipated in the air hence
the absurdty of the opinian, that weeds
will prevent the gronnd becoming dry by
shading it. Let any one in dry weather
examine a piece Of perfectly bare soil, 8
few inches below the surface, and com
pare its degree ofmoisture with that of sol
at an equal depth, near the roots of {
thick growth of weeds, and he will fine
the difference astonishing.
Now, of what use is it TO attempt rails
ing crops if they are to be wasted by T.;
growth of weeds Of what use is it tC
buy land, and plough it, and prepare it
and put in the crops, if after all, these
crops are suffered to be eaten up by sucl
intruders. If a drove of cattle SHOULD
break into field, no one would thinl
ofresting moment till they were driv'
en- out, and yet many allow myriads o
noxlous weeds to overspread their lands
often doing throefold mischief will
scarcely an effort TO check their progress
And this is not only permitted in cult
waited fields, but in meadows and pas
lures, which are sometimes literally GOV
cred with Canada thistle, St. John
wort, and many others to the total ex
clusion of everything else from the soil

Cultivation of Potatoes.

The cultivation of potatoes has be-
come SO precarious for the last four OIL
five years, that it may be of service to
publish an account Of experiments, even
ifthey have proved unsuccessful. will
therefore state my experience, such as il
is, with hope that it will be of more OF
less benefit to those engaged in the same
calling as myself.
have planted on variety of soils
including heavy clay loan, rich in an
imal and vegetable matter, and on a
light, sandy loan. In the latter, | have
always succeeded in raising sound pota-
toes, and | consider such soil the most
certain Of producing sound, healthy
crop.
In 1916, | planted my potatoes in A.
pril, May, June, and July. Those plan
ted in May, found succeeded best
and the vines of those planted late de-
cayed early in September, soon after the
young tubers began to form.
On the 18th of May, 1916, planted
an acre of potatoes, on moist loan
suitable for growing Indian corn. One
part of the field, MANFRED with newly
Stacked lime; one with wood ashes
one with charcoal; one with bone dust
one with poudrette and another part
with plaster, lime ashes, and salt, mixed
The result was, that the largest yield
and the least rot, occurred where lime
only was applied, at the time of planting
in the hill.
Observing that the two rows of pota.
toes next to the corn, which occupied 4
part of the last named field, were entire.
ly free from disease, and produced well
last season, (l847) | planted lot al.
ternately, with two rows of corn, anc
two rows of potatoes in the same field
manurDg the whole with lime in the
hill. Those produced between the corr
were all sound, and continue so toVthe
present time, and were abundant in thei
yield whereas, the others, planted by
themselves, were more or less affected
with disease. A portion of the groune
was SUBSIDIZED 10 the depth OF l6 inches
On this part, the produce was one thirt
greater.
From my experience, as above,
would recommend potatoes to be plant
ed among Indian corn, before the ISL
of May, in light, sandy loan, or som
other dry soil, sub soiled l6 inches deep
with gill Of newly-slacked lime, applie
to each hill. d.

Breaking the Crust.

Stirring the ground often among veg
etables is of the utmost importance to
cultivators. AS prices now are, we shall
be likely to be well repaid for all proper
attention 10 growing crops. Ecvery far
mer must have noticed that crust is
soon formed after the plough and hoe
have stirred every inch of the surface
This needs breaking often to admit the
air and the dews. (You know the roots
of plants must have air, for if you bury
deep the roots Of a tree of ten years
standing, you endanger its life.)
The dew also is supposed to have
much more effect on fresh earth than on
what is not often stirred and more
moisture is always found in soils that are
often moved. This fact is beyond dis
pute, be the reasons what they may.
The Albany Cultivator for this month
gives an amusing instance of the adyan-
tage of "breaking crusts." An extern
sve farmer planted field of broom-corn.
and as soon asst was done, the man who
assisted him was challenged by way Of
banter TO choose one of the rows and he
would choose another, and the product
of each should decide which Of them had
titled his row best. The owner of the
corn states that, determined not to be
beaten, he hoed his row every week, the
summer through he had not seen his
assistant hoeing his corn at all, but had
observed for long time he rose earlier
than usual in the morning.
At length, the owner said, he found
him hoeing his row before sunrise, and
he asked him how often he had hoed it
He answered, "once day regularly
The result was, that this row beat the
one that was hoed once week by near
ly double the amount.
