PLANTING CORN.

The practice which some farmers have
fallen into Of planting their corn crop be-
fore the first of May. we think is more
honored in the breach than in the obser-
vance. The ground is usually too cold
and damp, and the seed stands much
greater chance of rotling before there is
warmth enough to make ii germinate, than
at a later period. The plea for early
planting, that there will be abundance Of
time TO re-plant, should there be failure,
is not admissible. lnasmuch as our seasons
are quite long enough to ripen most of the
varieties Of corn grown in this State, If
pat in the ground as late as the 25th OF
he month, or even the first of June. We
have seen excellent crops of Canada corn
produced, which was planted near the end

BoNEs FoRFRUTT TREES.

A good deal is said OF the value OF bones
and yet not one cultivator in ten thinks
enough of their value TO preserve them
Even the refuse bones Of his own kitchen
are quite likely thrown into the street.
When bones can be had in the villages for
a merely nominal sum, he does not think
of purchasing them. There is no better
material for the border of fruit trees, grape
vines. and small fruitbearing shrubs; and
every fruit grower, that has not donsplan-
ting, should keep stock of old bones on
hand, so that every new border may be
well furnished with this plant food. For
immediate effect the bones shold be dis
solved in sulphuric acid or ground into
fine dust. But for the larger fruits and
vines, bones crushed with hammer will
answer quite as well, and two or three
bushels may be put in each border for an
apple or pear tree. The crushing of the
bones may be done under cover, and
makes good work for rainy days. Hyour
trees are already planted, the crushed bones
may be dug in among the roots. If work
ed into the soil of cultivated land, or even
spread npon pastures, they will give sure,
though slow return. The eagerness with
which plants take up this kind Of food may
be early discovered by digging up bones
under trees and grape-vines, when it will
be seen that the roots have covered the
bones with net work of fbres, and even
penetrated their substance. Save all the
bones, and buy them if you would have
fine fruits and take the premiums.

Iron for Ga01s.--Great Improvements
have taken place in the materials used for
manufacturing firearms. One of these
Improvements consists in forging the bar
rels from old horse shoe nails. These,
from the cold hammering in their manu-
iaclure, acquire great condensation and
strength OF fibre, possessing also the reoui-
site qualities of purity and ductilitv in a
high degree. The nails, or " STUBS" are
first cleaned in revolving drum and then
welded INTO bloom or mass in an air fur
mace; alterward taken out and forged with
heavy rlp-hammers then rolled into bars
and reduced TO rods of the proper size by
hand hamnering-in which process every
flaw can be detected and worked out or
the barrel rejected; the frequent welding,
rolling and hammering of the iron increa-
ses It's strength and tenacity in an aston
lshlng degree. Some years ago, it was
discovered that metal used for gun barrels
Was still more improved by the admixture
OF one-tourth of steel with the iron, giving
additional soldity and hardness, without
!mpalring It's strength. Thus, in the man
ufacure of wire twist, alternate bars of
iron and steel are placed on each other and
forged al welding heat into one body or
bar, which is afterward rolled down into
rods of three-eighths of an inch in breadth
and varying in thickness according TO the
weight Of the barrel which they are inten-
ded 10 make. The fiat rod is then twisted
into spiral upon an iron mandril, and
welded together at the edges, assisted by
many blows Of the forging hammer To
bring every part into juxtaposition while
hot.

CHINESE SUGAR CANE.

Editors Farm Journal AS you have
done me the honor TO insert in December
number of the Journal short extract from
an article had written for our local paper
(the Columbia Spy,) giving my views in
relation to this new plant, will just say
IN addition that the corrOborating evidence
OF Its sulta5leness ''io all soils aud all eli
mates" from Maine TO Florida, which we
see published in papers from every section
of our Union, fully confirms all that has
been said in its favor. Thus for once,
think this will he no "mulicaulis humbug." !"
| would unhesitatingly recommend trial
of it by every farmer, who desires to raise
his own sweetening," to set apart quarter
or half acre in his cornfield, and if he can
commence the cultisation of it without
fear of failure. Though | have not cuI-
tlVaIed it on scale sufficiently large to
enable me TO give reliable information to
your readers from my own experiments in
regard to the quantity of syrup, seed or
fodder, per acre, yet from the concurrent
testimony of so many who have expert
mented with it in various and distant sec
tIons Of the country there is in my mind
proof positive, that an acre well set and
well cultivated will produce from three to
six hundred gallons of syrup or moIasses,
and as to quality, my own experiment! full
ly satisfies me that it is superior and more
pleasant 10 the taste than the best Of New
Orleans or sugar house molasses. That it
will answer for all the uses TO which mo-
lasses is usually applied, and an excellent
substitute for molasses and in many cases
even sugar. 1t will soon be manufactured
into dry sugar. Extracting the juice from
the cane is the greatest difficulty TO be en-
countered by farmers. After the juice is
extracted it should at once be placed in tie
boilers, and gradually brought to the boil
ing point, the scum removed, and the liquor
kept boiling until nearly three-fourths is
evaporated. When it begins to thicken,
take it out and stow away in clean barrels
in the cellar, where the "gude wife" will
at all times find it most valuable addition
10 the stock Of culinary articles.
