Railroad at Greensboro:
The Danve Railroad only opened through the 9Th

Louis Napoleon whether the place could have been

been taken with ease, there were but few troops

Number OF Stalks in a Hill of Corn.

One Of our correspondents writes US that
he has lately had n conversation with
neighbour. who has the reputation of being
a very observing, sound and sensible man,
in regard to the question in the caption
above, and that it was the firm conviction Of
this man, that in the case Of Dent corn, and
Of all kinds which grow to a large size,
larger amount of sound corn will be obtain
cd, where there are not over three stalks al
lowed to grow in each hill, than when there
four, or any number over three, other things
Of course, being equal. He said that he
had observed repeatedly that there were
usually two good sized ears Of such kinds
of corn on each stalk, when there were on
" three stalks or less in hill, whereas,
when there were four or five stalks, there
was seldom more than one car on each, and
and Of these some would be not unfreIuent-
w small, and at harvest prove nothing but
soft corn or nubbins. lie further stated
that it was his belief that more depended,
SO far as the amount Of good sound corn
was concerned, on having but few stalks
in a hill, than on having the hills at the dis
lance Of three and half or four feet in the
rows; and that he had obtained better
crop from corn planted in drills, with s:elhs
about one foot or little less apart, in one
direction, and four feet in the other, than
his neighbor in an adjoining field had from
the same Kind planted in the usual way

CUTTIsGs.-In putting in cuttings never
leave but one bud above ground Whether
the cutting have two three or four buds, all
but one should be put under ground, and
that one but just above the surface. II you
put but one bud under ground, and two or
three above. the leaves formed from those
above are out of proportion with the roots
from that below they evaPorate water faster
than the roots can supply it; and the cut
ting droops and dies, on much the same
principle as when in transplantins a tree you
deprive it Of large portion Of its roots with
out diminishing the top. Whether cutting
should be placed horizontally and shallow,
or thrust deeply into the ground depends
much upon the nature of the soil. Ii the
soil is inclined to retain water, 1t may lie
shallow, but should approach perpendicC-
lar direction, running deeply, in soil that
readiley eyaporates water.-PL",o, Loom and

Hay.Making.-A Suggestion worth Con-
- sidefin..


a writer in the Homestead remarks that
he is satisfied from, much experience, that
r-rass Gu, early in the morning, while loaded
with dew, cannot, even by the most sedu-
lo,,s attention, be made as dry in the whole
,Iay. as it would have been If it had not been
cut until the dew was off, in half an hour
prppcr tending. So thoroughly is he con-
WINGED that it requires great deal mere
time and more Iabsr to make hay when the
grass is cut while wet with dew, that he
would not thank any one to DO the cutting
in thu, condition II it SHOULD be done for
nn,bino He does not think anything is
ever gained by cutting grass before break
fast. or before the dew is pretty nearly dried
oil. He deyotcs the time in the morning TO
putting implements in order, unloading the
hay drawn in the preceding evening, and
doing whatever else might require to be at
tended through the day, SO that no hindrance
might occur after ali hands had commenced
to work at hay. Grass cut after the dew IS
nearly or quite dried off, when light or net
very heavy, we'll turned and tended, viii be
ready, when the weather is favorable, to be
drawn into the barn on the same day.
These statements may lead some to make
a change for tn better in the mode OF con-
siucting their hay-making processes. We
Luotn that hay may sometimes be gos IN IN
excellent order on the same day IN which 1t
is cut. The conditions usually thought es-
sential to this rapid curing, are hot sun,
considerable stirring or turning, and light
or thin burden of grass. But i; may be that
light dews or cutting after III dew is of,
have more influence upon rapid curing than
is usually ascribed to them. Any one de-
sirous of putting this matter to the test, can
readily do so by moving few rods in length
while heavy dew is on the grass, and then
like quantity an hour or two later when
the dew is almost or altogether dried. Let
both patches be spread, turned, and stirred
alike, and it may then be seen how much
the moisture of the dew may have retarded
tn. curing of the hay.
We have met with those who, while ready
to admit that cutting grass, while the dew is
on it, if likely 20 retard its drying off and
curing, think that the greater ease with
which grass may be cut while the dew is on.
fully cougterbalarces the slower cure
Others, again, We have met with, SO tho
roughly persuaded that cutting while the
dew is ON is injurious, tina. though paying
men high wages in having time, they put
them to hoeing corn or doing chores, rather
than to have them go to moving carly in
the morning. Country Ge3stle"lGn.

whitewashing fruit trees recommended as
preventive to disease. In many sections
this practice has prevailed extensively, yet

the orchards thus treated are not in better

the inference that clean. healthy skin is as
indispensable to the health and longevity If
