The Culture of Broom Corn.
From he American Rurl

Mr.. EDIT0R:--Permit me to give
you little of my experience in regard
to the cultivation Of this kind Of corn.
Great care should be used in selecting
tho seed. After broom corn is cut
and gathered in the autumn, select
those stalks that have q long brush, and
put them in box; and then pound
them with an axe or mall, until all the
seeds are separated from the bush.
Then run these seeds through the
tanning mill and thus they are ready
and fit for planting. Broom corn, /
fnd, succeeds best on new land. / have
been in the habit Of cultivating it for
many years ; and have got the best
crop when l cleared off the land in the
winter, and plowed it about the middle
of May. spare no pains in removing
stones and old roots and other obstruc-
tons, and then thoroughly harrow the
ground and furrow it, leaving y space
Of three and half feet between the
burrows. l make hills in one direction
II half feet apart, and plant from six
to ten kernels in a hill. In the first
hoeing pull out all but four roots or
spires in Il hill. In the second hocing
l am careful to subdue all the weeds
and apply sufficient earth to the hills,
that the broom corn, as it grows, may
stand erect. If the crop is fair one,
it will yield about 80 bushels of seed
per acre, and TOO pounds of brush
Good ripe broom seed is worth more
per bushel for feeding hogs or stock
than oats or bUckwhcat. [ usually
mix it with little corn or buckwheat,
and have the whole ground into pro.
vender.
With regard to harvesting broom
corn in the autumn, may remark that
if q man has sufficient store room, it is
better to cut it green and cure it in the
shade by laying it on poles or rails in
the barn or stables. Sometimes it may
be cut by the roots, and put in shocks
like corn. Sometimes / have left it
until the frost cured it before cutting
it; and then | have cut and stacked
1t like hay. | may here add that |
usually cut the stalks from six to eight
inches from the bush, for this leaves
the brush long enough for the broom.
Now such has been my mode of cutting
broom corn and from the experience
have had in raising it, and the care
full estimate | have made Of the cost Of
production, and the amount Of the
crop, have no hesitation in saying, it
is one of the most profitable crops Il
farmer can raise. The objection orten
made to it is this that it soon exhausts
the fertility of the soil. But it may
we'll DO questioned whether it sooner
sxhausts the soil than Indian corn or
some other crops. 1t certainly may
be tried every few years in the same
field, to great advantage, especially if
moderate quantity Of manure is used.

We have before remarked, in regard
TO working corn the first time, that when
the land is very hard and compact from
imperfect preparation, subsequent hard
rams or other cause, the first blowing
may BIO done with scooter plows, close,
thoroughly and deep, while the plant
ls yet young, and before the lateral
roots have spread ont from the i'm
mediate vicinity Of tho stalk. This
can be done without injury to the land
or teams,as the sun has not yet become
oppressively warm it is also valuable
means of perfecting and deepening the
puIycrization Of the soil, commenced
IN the preparation of the land for plant.
ing. This work properly done, not
only destroys all grass and weeds that
may DO at the time standing with the
young corn, but it leaves the soil once
more looscncd up deeply, in light and
frlabIc condition, into which the young
and growing corn, thinncd out to stand,
sends out its roots in all directions
after its proper nourishmcnt in the
soil.
Now, can any rejecting planter or
man agcr believe, for moment, that he
can again, after, this when his corn is
knee high or more, drive a pillow into
this soil, every square inch of which is
permeated by the rootlets Of tho grow.
ing corn, without cutting loose and de-
stroying these roots, and thereby pre-.
venting that supply Of nouriShment
necessary to the present prosperous
growth of the crop? We think not.
1t is not necessary under any such cir.
cumstances, all other things oqual, will
not only cut short the production from
Zen to hftecn per cent. in quantity per
acre, but it will affect the real value of
the produce to the extent of at least
five pounds weight less per buShcl.
