SWEET Conn FOX FEEr1>G Srock.-ln the
fall Of 1852, | saw an acre of sweet Jrn grow
ing on the farm Of John Stevens, Esq. Of Ly-
sander, Onondaga county. lie s'id it wac
capital for fattening hogs. The greater
amount of saccharine matter in this corn, I'm
parted to the PORK made upon it a higher fla.
vor. | thought tavorably Of it. and resolved
to try it myself
Being kindly furnished with seed by Mr. ;.
| planted an acre about the middle IF last
May. The ground happened to be quito dry
at the time and we could not avoid covering
the seeds with lumpv earth Although I
meant to take security for a sufficient num-
ber of stalks in hill. by planting seven to
ten kernels, yet the stand was poor hardly
averaging two per hill. mention thi. par
ticularly, because cure is necessary both in
covering the seed and putting it into the
ground. y slight covering with moist mel
low earth is what is required. The aftur-cul-
ture Is the same as with the ordinary crop
When ripe it should he cut up at the roots,
aud stacked in the usual manner.
Saving the limited stand, my crop did very
well, though | think | can raise better next
time. Many of the stalks produced two,
three, and even four good ears. 1t seemed 10
last in feeding like the widows cruise Ny
horse, pigs, cow and poultry devoured it with
the keenest apparent relish, and seemed to
take its final exhaustion much to heart. 1t
remains in IA soft state down to late period
and | noticed that none of its grains were
voided by the animals whole, though, in sub
sequent feeding a large proportion Of the
common variety passed in their excrements
undigested. 1t is obvious that the kernels of
the sweet corn are much the easiest of diges-
tion, and that the stock fed upon it will get
the benefit Of all they consume. '. W.

POTATO ROT

The leaving of seed potatoes in the ground
over winter, is recommended as preventive
against the potatoe disease. correspondent
of the American .lgricu turist is of the opinion.
that if the potatoe is frozen, the ground will
draw the frost out without injuring II. 1t is
stated that many years ago, farmer in Bath.
Me- planted field of potatoes in the fall, lust
before the ground froze. In the spring they
came up well, and in the month of June ne dug
five hundred bushels which he sold for as many
hundred dollars.
We believe that this Is the cure which Is re-
commended by Mr.. Roberts of Michigan and
which has thus far proved successful. 1t is at
all events simple and we recommend liz trial -
The potatoes intended for seed should be left
in the ground until spring when the idrg ST
ones should be selected and planted rhoie.-
There Is no doubt that the cutting Of seed has
done much to induce disease, while the practice
Of planting the smallest potatoes Is on a par
with breeding from rtmt pigs. The next crop

MR Waller As spring is upon US. it Is
reasonable to suppose that every practical
farmer is laying out certain ground, for h-
various crops and rs the period in the his
tory OF agriculture has arrived when all far
mers must economic, by putting in those
crops which will most rcmuucrltc him for
his labor, os a means to effect TIN. end, allow
me 10 call the attention Of practical alri al.
turists to the subject Of sowing c'rr for t,d-
der.
Last spring | sowei about three acres Of
corn, intending to cut it green for slliing. but
owing to the iuyorahlchcss OF Il @ season for
grass, but one acre was cut-tac other two
were cured for fodder. hate 10 doubt th"
produce from one acre was cqul to- ten acr"-
Of ordinary grass made into hay. The best
way to raise it, is to plough and harrow the
ground, as if for corn or IVtatycs. ana then
start the plow and let a man OF ',uv follow
and drop every other furrow until trc piece -
ground is completed then run to-" rpll,r over
and it needs no more attention. w ut
three and a half bushels of seed to the acre.
| would prefer putting it On q piece Of ground
that was not to be seeded. in order tD save
labor in the curing. All that would be ne
cessary is to cut and shock as other corn, and
let it stand until dry, then bind II in sheuvos
and haul it in the barn Or she'd and salt il.
Cattle cat it with ayidity and milk better than
when fed on hay. We purpose lutting down
ten to fifteen acres this spring. and calculate
to save two-fold by the operation. First in
cutting hay there is almost always difficulty
in procuring men even at the highest wages
Second. instead of moving from forty to fifty
acres We will have them for pasture which
does not impoverish the land like moving -
think there is no crop which will pay better
than sowed corn Let our farmers try it. - :

VAEIIry.-What msxtr,cable confusion
must the world forever have been IN but for the

between man and man, no distinction between
good and bad friends ard foes, father and child
husband aud wife, male aud fc'n'lc. All would
have been exposed to millce, fraud, forgery,
and lust. But now every mans face can dis
