PREPARING SEED CORN.

Many farmers who pride themselves excessiyel,
on their practical wisdom, denounce the idea, now
very prevalent among the more intelligent part Of
the community, that the corn plant can in any way
be benefited by preparing the seed, before plant
ing 1t. They cite nature 10 substantiate their
scepticism, forgetting that where nature proceeds
exclusively upon her own original system, she very
rarely has TO contend with obstacles which operate
so fatally against the artistic operation of her laws
IN the care OF human enterprise and effect In
the natural propagation Of fruits and vegetables
AN excess OF seed is invariably disseminated. go
that If large portion should perish, or be des.
troyed, enough, and more than enough, would he
left to realize the design originally intended. But
man adopts different system. He intends to sow
and plant only enough "tO grows" consequently
II Is OF the utmost consequence that it should 0yoo
Hence he very often finds it advisable to assist the
efforts of natare by the power Of art. In regard
TO preparing seed corn, u very successful expert
ment was made some years since by Mr. Lansing
Wetmore, OF Pennsylvania, and which has been
repeated by several cultiydtors Of Intelligence and
yeracity, in other sections of the Union, with
equally fortunate results. The m0d,ts Olsyd,di is
reported by Mr.. Wetmore, in his published nc
count, to have been as follows -
at noon of the day before planting. 18th of
May, put my seed corn to soak in strong decoc-
ton Of copperas water. say two pounds Of copperas

corn. The next morning took out peck, added a

FARMERS WIVES AND DAUGHTERS

How our Revolutionary fore-moihers managed to
be such matches to our Revolutionary fore. fathers
in health and herOism, we never could rightly re-
concile TO the general condition Of the sex in the
agricultural classes 10 which they belonged. Surely
they could not have been 30 overworked as our
farmers wives are, at the present day-nor could
their minds and manners have had so little chance
for cultivation. IL has been "maggot in our
BRAIN" for some time, to write on this subject
| pleading for some recreation and some leisure in
the larm-houscs where these two blessings are not
pctticoat belongings But our friend Of the Amer-
icdn AgriNlturist has anticipated u.s. A CORES
pondent Of his thus sensibly discourscs on the
suDject Home Journal.
"I am q genuine farmers daughter, as told
you, and my experience is not at all imaginary
one. We lived away out Of the village, were sur
rounded by farm-houses and our only neighbours
were farmers therefore have a right to say
know something about them, and how they live.
But cannot say they were all 10 my taste, or that
they all had the refinement and cultivation which
think it should be the aim Of every class Of people
to possess yet do not know that, in more than
one family, there grew up and daughters with
all the pride Of our country; and not only with re-
hnement, but elegance Of manners such as l have
rarely seen surpassed in any circle, in city or
country.
at has been provcrb that the women Of farm
ers' households lead more toilsome and drudgery
kind OF life than the men, and think this is true.
One reason has been, that so little attention
has been paid TO convenience in the construction Of
those parts Of the house where they must spend
most Of their time, and where their labor must be
performed; and another is that the husbands and
fathers have 50 little idea OF the true nature of
woman's toll. II seems to them light pork to run
around cooking-stoye, and sweep, and dust, and
take care of children; while, on the contrary, IL is
infinitely more exhausting to mind and body than
the labour of the field. Many and many farmer
do know, who thinks his wife may perform all the
labour of the househod-the cooking cleaning,
butter making and cheese pressing-wbich obliges
her to rise early and sit up late, and never rest
and all because it costs so much to hire a girl
But could never why it is not as reasonable to
expect one man to do all the sowing, planting and
ploughing, the moving rcaping or threshing be-
cause il costs half the products Of the farm to pay
the hired men,"
