AGRICULTURAL.
Work for the Month.
CORN PLANTING.

OAN 4 LA ~
Now comes the season rapidly on, when
the business of planting is to be IN snceG
in good earnest. The time for preparation
has been afforded, and we hope we'll improv-
ed, for the planting cannot proceed advan-
tageously, unless the work preceding has
been well done, and no guarantee for sue
cessful cropping can be given, unless the
preparations be good, and the seed be put
in the earth in good order. 1t is a great
mistake to suppose that we may pass hasti-
" and negligently over the work now to be
done. The foolish man who builds upon a
foundation Of sand, is not more indiscreet,
than he who Sights his work in seed time,
nor will the consequences be less disastrous
when the trial comes. The crop must be
we'll planted, and though your patience may
be tasked, and your neighbor may seem to
be running out of sight, be not discouraged
you will be up with him again the first
drought next summer, and leave him far in
the rear at harvest. We are the advocates
Of carly corn planting with summers so hot,
and often dry, as ours, and therefore urge
the prosecution Of this work, with all practi-
cable dispatch, in the early part ofthis month.
Let the seed lie deep in the ground when
planted. We do not mean by this that the
depth Of the earth used in covering shall be
great, but that the furrow opened for plant
ing, shall be so wide and deep as that the
corn when planted, shall lie below the level
Of the general surface. Some damage we
know may result, when heavy rains eusue,
before the young corn gets up; but these
hazards do not compare with the loss suS-
tanned, by the plant, in the exposure of its
lateral roots, without a proper covering o.
earth to protect from the sun, and to secure
the proper moisture for beautiful and Wig
orous growth. A crop thus planted receive:
additional supplies of fresh, soft earth from
each successive ploughing, an operation rath
er difficult to be accomplished, when tn,
planting is done upon an elevated bed, AM
Ms a consequence leaving much to be don
with the hoe, which ought to DC performed
with the plow. Many plantersin their hast
to get along. leave the middles of the row
unbroken, waiting for a more convenient sea
son. or perhaps, until the young corn is u
and ready TO receive its first working. w
have taken this risk a few times o~urselve:
when We had less experience, and more long
ings for cotton making than we have nov
and we have in our %penitence for the eTro

PROSPECTUS OF THE

A" Ye are my friends, if ye do ,ohatsoerer I COM

JOHN T. WALSH, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.
AVING been repeatedly solicited to publish a
Il religious Journal in this State, have conclu-
ded to issue this Prospectus, and thus submit the
matter to the brethren and to an enlightened and
liberal public. The work will be devoted to print
tire christianity, and will be liberal and anti-secta-
rian in its character. Subordinate, and auxiliary
to its fundamental object, it will advocate a corrected
Uersion Of the English Scriptures; and it will there
fore be the uncompronising friend of the I" Bible
Union" The cause Of Temperance, as taught in the
Holy Scriptures, will receive the attention it ia ty
demands; and the Editor hopes, by having "a de-
partment of this sort in his paper, to secure the
patronage of the friends of that noble cause. Per
haps no State in the Union is so f~earfully cursed
with intemperance as North Carolina; and our eff
forts should be proportional to the resistance to be
overcome. We shall also pay due attention to the
subject of Education, moral, intellectual and reli-
gious. Our Journal will not be a one-sided 0 re,
but be open to IL free and full investigation of all
subjects of a practical tendency. No speculative,
or u~ntaught theme, will be admitted into its pages.
We invite the cooperation and patronage Of all the
friends Of original christianity, morality and edu-
cation.
THE CHRISTIAN FRIEND will be published
