Corn Planting.

DR.. CLoUp- Dear Sir Since writ.
ing 10 you requesting information on the
renovation OF worn lands, hill side ditch
ing, horizontal culture, &c, my mind has
been engaged in considering the best Plan
Of planting my corn. Two modes sug-
gest themselves and would like TO have
your views as to their comparative merits;
or, If you can indicate a better plan than
either, it will doubtless be very accepta.
bic to others Of your readers rs well as
myself. One mode is to open furrow
as deep as possible ; to lay the old corn
stalks and other vegetable matter along
in the bottom Of it, and then bed on it
with a turning plow-open with short
ptow and plant.
To this plan Objection presents itself,
viz: the difficulty in getting the corn
deep enough in the ground 10 stand a
drought well, and the disadvantage OF
having it on an elevated bed ; for the best
farmers seem to agree in the opinion that
it is better 10 plant corn in the water. fur.
row, where land is bedded, unless the
land is low and wet. You will perceive,
then, that the corn would not only be
planted on an elevated ridge, but that il
would really be difficult to get the grain
sufficiently deep in the ground, unless the
first fuirows could be made Verg deep, for
they would he partially filled with the
stalks, &c, and of course the planting
iurrow would have to bo made so as not
TO misplace or throw these out.
The second plan is to bed up the land;
then TO open the middle oi water furrow
rs deep rs possible, throw in stalks as be.
fore, firt little dirt on these with the
foot, aud plant the corn on this. This ap.
pears TO be the better of the two modes.
Yet to this, at least one great objection
exists and that is the fact hat much Of
the vegetable matter wonld inevitably
be buried in the bedding process
Please give your ideas on this subject
together with the best kind Of plows for
opening, the best plan OF covering, &c,

Such perfect rest--as this
Unconscious of the woes and cares
That weigh us down in waking hours.
Her gentle spirit only wears
A burden now of flowers.
She dreams. Her radiant features speak
OF themes that waken deep delight,
For smiles ad"rn her lip and cheek
Smiles beautiful and bright.

said to have entertained the precep,or Of

asked that whatever he should touch

Midas supported the opinion that Pan

eyes ofhis subjects; but at last ono Of his
courtiers having perceived it, and being
