ducers. The operation of the advalo-
rem duty is certainly unfortunate for
the consumer at the present time. AS
sugar rises in value, the duty is in
creased. The duty upon the prices
that now prevail is about 24cents per
pound; whereas, in 1854, owing to the
large crop of that year, sugar sold in
New Orleans, at from II to 4 cents,
for inferior to prime, and the duty did
not average more than half a cent per
pound, on all the sugar imported
This is unfavorable to the consumer;
a wiser policy would be the English
sliding scale by which the duty would
fall as the price of the article rose.

EDUCATION OF THE AGRrcULTuRIsT.-
No man is so high as to be independent

without it we could not have manu-.

The cultivation of the earth is the

Selecting Seed Corn.

All practical farmers arc aware that
great care should be taken in the selec.
ton Of seed corn, not only in selecting
the finest and most perfect ears, but in
discarding even from such ears the
smaller and irregularly formed grains.
This process of selection steadily con.
tinued for a series Of years, would un.
doubtedly increase both the quality and
yield. Some growers have climed
that the seed ears should not be select.
cd at harvest time. but at an earlier
date, and that those which ripen first
should be preferred. We suppose two
kinds of ears ripen before the general
crops, viz, those which are largest and
most perfect, and portion ofthose dis
torted in figure; the latter shonld Ger.
tainly be avoided. When fine fruit is
required it may be obtained by the re.
moval of part of the crop, and why
should this fact not be applied to corn
raised for seed! Suppose stalk having
two or more fine ears, why not remove
all but the largest, when partly grown,
and thus cause the remaining ear to
become more perfect for seed corn!--
We have never tried this system, and
may be wrong, but we suggest it to
avail of the views of others. Seed
corn, when selected, should never be
kept in close barrels or bins, but should
be hung up by the husks which may be
stripped and planted together Ed.
