Jusr LIKE A SAILOR the time Of the

tools which had been borrowed from the
United States sloop-of-war Vincennes, ther

eurregtion, about eeed Corn.

May last opened very well for working the
coil, and 7,srr' rne until the 18th OF
the month, ensl snc weather changed to
moist, not very rainy, but just enough fell
to keep the surface summy and cool. 1t was
. trying time, the remainder Of that month,
for gardens and garden seeds already sown;
many Of tho latter failed entirely, and
patches that shonld now be covered, are
comparatively naked.
Corn planting was commenced early in
the month by many, but the cool damp
weather came on-scarcely sunbeam found
oe between the clouds to fall upon the
earth for three dark chilly weeks. Tho stef-
eotypsd complaint Of corn rotting in the
ground, came on every side. We knew Of
several instances where it was planted the
third time before growth was secured ;
twice planting was by no means uncommon
occurrence.
We commenced our planting the 10th, and
in consequence Of the coming on of damp
weather, could do no more for FIVE days. at
ter which We were enabled to 60 on and fin
ish the piece. More than two weeks passed
before that first planted gave any show of APP
psarance above ground. 1t finally came
however, few days in advance Of that la
ter planted without the failure Of a single
hill
These observations of the last in connex-
ion with former planting seasons, furnish
proof to US that the failures from corn rot
ting in the ground, arise from Effectiveness
in tho seed. 1t has been shown to us, clear
| ly, that good seed will remain in the ground
uninjured for period Of from two to three
weeks, and then send up a vigorous growth
To prevent the evil, then, in future years
farmers must gather and preserve their seed
corn with more care. OF course we would
recommend picking the best and earliest
ears from the hill, and hanging them in a
place whore not only the kernel but the cob
will be thoroughly dried, and then put in a
dry place until planting time. By selecting
| the earliest ears, the next crop raised from
the corn will ripen proportienably earlier.
1t is not necessary to have corn become
perfectly sound to make good seed lift is
glazed over the kernel, the rudiment of the
young plant is formed, and if proper after
care is used in curing and preservation, all
will be right
Another cause Of seed rosting in the
ground in seasons like the last plantincmay
be that the corn was soaked before planting
an operation that superinducas decay where
collateral causes exist, and should be avoid
