Eccs.-It is astonishing to think how ex-
tensive the egg business of Maine has be-
come. There is larger value in money, in
this small article exported from Maine each
year, than any other. We have one firm in
Gardiner-Messrs. Mitchell d Wilson-that
has exported immense quantities to Califor-
mia, thereby realizing handsome returns.-
And one gentleman alone-Mr. Seavey of
Misunderstanding the last year, collected
and sold no less than 100000 dozens-2,-
100000 eggs. The average price was eight
cen cents dozen, making total of $50, 900.
There are forty dozen in bushel--4sO-
and thus he collected 5000 bushels. In May
last he collected $4,000 dozens And he is
only one of many in our immediate neigh
borhood. This is in striking contrast with
the beginning of this trade, very few years
ago. Our old friend Dickman, of Boston,
formerly of Gardiner was among the first
who entered the business. When he called
at certain store, and asked the merchant to
save his eggs for him, he objected, saying
" 1t is of no use. A man was along while
ago and l saved whole milk pan full, and
he never called, and they had to be thrown
awayp We should like to know the whole
amount of capital employed annually in the
trade.--Gospel Banner.

OUR Box jour correspondent seems to be at
a loss to know why Grand river was SO named
We can inform him. The river, it is true, is not
remarkable for grand scenery, but it is the largest
; tributary to the St Lawrence, excepting only the
rivers connecting the chain of lakes.

DEEP PLoUGHING. &c.-REcLAIMING AN

A correspondent Of the East Tennesseean
writing from Laurel Spring, under the date
Of May 18th, saws:

lowing experiment in subsoiling, as related
TO me by Mr.. Louis, who resides few

PEABODY'S PROLIFIC CORN.

Having heard much Of this corn last fall,
and seen some stalks exhibited in this place,
curiosity led US to pay MIR. Peabody visit,
with view OF seeing its appearance in the
held at its most interesting state, that of silk
and tassel Mr. Peabody has in cultivation
some nifty to sixty acres Of sandy pine land,
IN this corn. OF course this land is highly
manured and well cultivated, as without il,
this year, it could hardly produce twenty
bushels to the acre. We were over the
whole OF his corn, and must say we never
saw its equal in productiyeness. The yield
Is IRON two to seven ears to the stalk. We
saw few stalks on a spot made rich by
being near an old house, that were cared
from the ground to within thirty inches Of
the tassel they resembled trees of corn.
The prospect presented Of the whole crop
we are convinced, is no test of what could
be produced on the same land with proper
seasons. The crop had gone through FIVE
weeks drought in its most critical period, SO
much so that the four bottom blades Of the
fodder on each stalk, or most of it, had fred
and dried. The crop was relieved about
hye days previous TO our visit, by mode
rate rain. and two days previous BY good
season, which was accompanied by wind
that prostrated much Of the most heavy
| ladened.
Our opinion is, that the Weld from the
land in cultivation will be from seventy to
ninety bushels 10. the acre. With the or
dinary corn, aud tie usual cultivation, the
same land we are satisfied from comparisons,
would not yield, this year, an average Of
eight bushels to the acre. II such results
can be produced on the poor pine lands,
what might not be done on the rich noun
tain lands Of North Carolins, and the Ten
nessee Valley, to say nothing of the produc.
tive lands Of Tennessee anti kentucky, and
the great West! From the spectacle pre-
sented, we are satisfied the yield on good
lands, from Mr.. Peab0dy's variety, must be
double, il not three times that of the COM
mon variety. This, in these times Of corn
scarcity, is certainly matter over which
farmers should ponder. If two bushels can
'be produced on the same land, and with the
same labor that now produces one, it is i'm
portant that every planter should take steps
to supplant the common corn with the Pea
body variety.
