Topping C0rn.

Perhaps there has ben enough
said in the "nevspapers" upon this
subject still it seems that ii has not
been very satisfactorily disposed Of
by your correspondents It is well
TO remember that there is generally
two sides to a question, and iiIatpeo-
pie are apt to. go upon extremes,
Perhaps Some Of Your correspondents
may think 'that their communications
would not be worth publishing il
they stated nothing but the plain
unvarnished truth, and give the facts
against their theories as wei as fo5r
them. / would not speak disparing-
II of the articles in the farmers de-
pprtme1t Of the newspaper, for they
are mostly instructive and useful, but
agricultural writer's generally are
given to the fault Of telling large
stories, or trying to make out clear
oasein favor Of so me theory And
again, some think that because a GER
tain practice is more profitable for
them in one section of the country,
that it is for everybody else in DIFF
ferent places. and under other circum-
stances. For instance a farmer in
South Carolina or Vermont will tell
Us how to raise corn and secure the
&dder, and be as dognlltical as
though his town comprised th 2 whole
G pm growing country.
Where. corn grows small SO that ii
is not bad to, handle ii may be BET
ter to cat il up, and where labor is
scarce and fodder iii better To husk
on the hin; but where the corn is
large and it IS desirable to save the
NEST Of the fodder, Lgreatly prefer
theftoppibg process. | grant that il
costs about the same to top an acre
of corn and bind the stalks and set
them up, as it does to cutit up and
put it in stocks; but | must insist
that there isIa great difference in the
quantity of the fodder; and a man
CAP husk twice as much IN the hill
as be can III the stock, and if the
ears are picked and drawn to the
barn he can husk three timex as much.
and do it rainy days 81 eep may
be turned in to gather the lower
leaves either before Or after topping.
