Vermont Premium Corn.

Hon. II. S. Morse, of Shelburne, w., pre-.
sented to the Annual Meeting of the State
Agricultural Society, held in Middlebury, on
the 9TH of January inst, sample of King
Phillip corn, of which he raised III bushels
to the acre. The following statement was
drawn up, and sworn to by Mr.. Morse before
Justice VIM. Haron of Shelburne. Will
those papers favorable to Agriculture, pass it
round, for the benefit of the farming com.
munity?
IT entered three acres of corn for premi-
um, which was raised in the following man.
ner: The land was hard, stony soil-had
been in meadow FIVE years. [ covered about
two thirds of the ground with rotton manure,
drawn in the fall of 81; and the balance of
the piece with new fresh manure, drawn in
the winter and plowed in about the first of
May, from to 10 inches deep. | narrowed
it we'll, and planted it with King Phillip corn,
on the 18th of May, 8 feet by 3 and a half
apart, and about six kernels in hill. 1t
was cultivated and hoed twice WE'LL cut up
the second and third week in Sept. ;-stooked
up in the lot, and stood until the latter part
of Oct. before husking. husked from the
three acres FIVE hundred and seventy baskets,
which measured, when shelled, 10 quarts to
the basket, and weighed thiIty-fve and one
half lbs. to the matchmaking three hun
bred and fifty bushels, and fifty-three pounds,
by weight, and three hundred and thirty
eight bushels, and IA quarts, by measure"

MoRRILLs BILL VEroRD --The present Prcsi-
ident, James Buchanan, has vetoed Mr., Nor
rill s Agricultural College Bill. King james
the First has constitutional objections TO bill
that will i'll tie least encourage and strengthen
Free Labor. Tho Bill which met with such
general appreciation in all the Free States, and
commanded majority Of even the present u.
S. Senate, q body disposed to 90 as far as any
other in obedience to the behests of Slave-Pow.
er, has been, for the present, killed by the fiat
of Buchanan. The President in this instance
has shown how much he dare do for the South :.
and how high bid he is willing to make for
tho succession in 1860. We hope that he will
be nominated at Charleston that the nation may
have an opportunity of expressing their detcs-
tation and utter adherence of the man, who,
coming himself from Free State, has sold him
self to servitude at the South and gone down to
grind in the prison-house of Slavery, never los
ing an opportunity to do the bidding of bis
Slave-drivers. Davsan Slidell having notified
Douglas that his Squatter Sovereignty notions
will not be popular at Charleston next year, j.
B. is evidently taking courage, and has como
in in just this nick of time with his negative
upon the most far-seeing industrial project of
the age, and all to crafty the South We
wish him much joy of the bed he is preparing
for hmself,-but is he has any conscience left it
must, in tho end, prove couch Of infinite tor
ture. We wait for the Despotic Message,

Co-ToN IN CUBA The New York Times says

a joint stock company has been formed in
England, Spain and Cuba, WITH a branch in
this country, which, under the name of the
Algodenera, or Cotton Society" of Havana
proposes to introduce and foster the cultivation
of cotton in the Island of Cuba. This compa-
ny represents capital of four millions of dol
lars and has already received the sanction and
protection of the English and Spanish govern
ments--the efficient Consul General of England
in Cuba, Mr. Crawford, presiding over its in
terests in Havana, and the Spanish government,
by decree dated on Sept. l6 of last year, hay
ing conceded to it the privilege of importing
cotton seed free of duty, for the carrying out
of its plans. 1t is authorized either to buy or
lease lands suitable for the growth of cotton,
and to make advances to cotton-growers in the
Island. 1t has already nearly two hundred
thousand acres of land under its own control,
and has distributed seed cotton to q large num-
Der of planters. The active cooperation of the
Cotton Society of Manchester, which is SO en-
ergctically engaged in pushing the cotton cul-
ture throughout Africa, has been given to this
new attempt to raise up a rival at the very
doors of the cotton planting South; and SO far
advanced are the prospects of the company, that
the present year will undoubtedly find cotton
enrolled among the exports of that ever-iaith-
full Island"
We have been informed by gentleman who
resided many years in Cuba, that not only does
the Island afford large portion of land adapt
ed to the growth of cotton, bat that the staple
is of the very finest quality, and much superior
to that generally produced in the best localities
of the Southern States. How our planters will
like this new scheme of competition remains to
be seen

PoTAToE CULrURE.-I have always noticed
in this section that potatoes planted on old
pasture or moving land, newly broken up,
and planted without manure, were nearly or
quite exempt from the rot, and that some
particular varieties have never rotted in the
field, though heavily MANFRED. read with
hope the plan your Concord correspondent
was so fortunate as to peruse, and practice
with success. inserted peas in the potatoe
according to directions, and waited patiently
the result, which I am sorry to say was not
very favorable. Several varieties which
tried, rotted just as bad as those without
peas. 1 cut the tops from some soon after
they commenced drying, and covered the
stubs with earth. dug part of them, and
found only one affected and that but slightly.
My hired man dug the rest. but said there
we're no rotten ones among them The same
varieties in other hills and rows, were one
fourth, perhaps, affected. W. I. S1nosDs

The OTHER SIDE.-While in New England
the people are rearing more firmly the bulwark
of Freedom, and drawing its protecting arm
more closely around them, in the valley of the
Mississippi-the heart of Slavery--they are,
on the other hand, departing from first and high
principles, to a most reckless disregard of the
rights of human nature. In accordance with
this, the following bill has been introduced into
the Louisiana Legislature
Whereas, The Federal Government has no
power to prohibit the buying Of negro slaves
by the citizens of this State and whereas the
right of the people Of Louisiana to purchase
slave property in any market, whether domestic
or foreign. where negro slaves are sold, has
never been alienated from her sovereignty, or
granted +. the control of the Federal Govern
ment:
Therefore, be it enacted, DC, That any citizen
or association of citizens of this State be and
they are hereby authorized to purchase negro
slaves from Cuba, Brazil and Africa, and to
bring said slaves so purchased into this State,
and to hold the same in full right and title, for
heir proper use, benefit and behoof provided
said slaves, SO purchased and imported into this
State, shall be subject to the same regulations
and tariff of duties as other species of foreign
property or imports.

OUR DELEGATION IN CONGRESS. we regret
very much that our limits will not permit us to
give our readers the very excellent speech of
Mr.. Walton. in Congress, on the Tariff, anu the
speech of Mr. Royce on the acquisition of Gu
ba. Both speeches are able, dignifed, and
soundly logical, and will do great credit to Mr..
W. and Mr.. R.
We have now, an able, industrious, honest,
capable, efficient, fearless delegation in Con-
gress. No Senator is doing more for the cause
of true Republican government than Mr.. Cola
mer, and no Representative has wider repu-
tation, or is more favorably known by the mass
of the Northern people, especially the agricul-
tural portion Of them, than Mr.. Morrill,. Mr.
Foot is all influential and popular member Of
the Senate, and Walton and Royce are doing
the State essential service, and representing her
faithfully In the House. We are proud of the
delegation and more So since they have recent
ly been pilloried by a Democratic contemporary
1t is quite true in Vermont, that whom the
Democrats hate, the people honor.

Hens,

Mn. EDIToR-I notice u communication
respecting diseased hens, and with your per-
mission, | will give what think the cause
of it is, h rs IN the construction of the
rooH. | was formerly troubled in the same
way aud it was somc time before discover
ed a remedy. Ny ruostmg room is II feet
square, and 8 feet high i'll the clear. My
roosts we're formerly constructed like ladders,
two Of them, say 7 feet wide, placed leaning
against each other, at an angle of 40 deg,
the rounds or roosts 2 feet apart, the top one
being z feet from the floor. | noticed
that the hen was never satisfied unless she
could place herself on the topmost round, this
being the height of her ambition. In the
morning, instead Of jumping to the next
roost below, and so on, in order to get down,
she would almost invariably jump the whole
7 feet, hitting herself against the building, or
striking hard upon the floor, Some of the
oldest and latest hens would not come down
all day for fear oflhurting themselves, and
occasionally found eggs broken, and soft
eggs under the roost dropt from these fowls.
| sometimes toek them down from the roost
by hand that they might eat, or believe
they would have remained on the roost until
compelledby hunger to come down. 1 &C.
cordingly had the roost altered, the top one
not over 4 feet from the floor, and the hens
tken came down in the morning without diff
calty. Since that time, | have not been
troubled with diseased fowls, Or eggs broken
under the roost.
Shoulda hen lay soft shelled eggs, put
chalk, refuse lime, pounded bones or shells
within her reach, and you will have no more
of it.
also find another bad feature among per-
sons who keep fowls, which l think brings on
disease. 1t is in allowing too many cocks to
run with the hens. Many cocks are large
and heavy, and they not only worry the hens
badly but frequently break them down and
cripple them. have seen them with their
spines so badly hurt, as to lose the entire use
of their legs from this cause. In no case
should there be more than one cock to eight
hens. | have at this time but enc to twenty
hens and l find an increased supply of eggs
in consequence Of it, but in the breeding sea-
son keep more. Ny rule for some years be-
ing, to purchase the best cock l can find in
the spring, never using one raised by myself
as a breeder, and never keep hen over one,
or at most two winters. By adopting this
plan, and giving them plenty, and variety
TO eat, with care and cleanliness, / am never
without good poultry, and plenty Of eggs, and
the case is rare with diseased hen and soft
sheled egg Low RoosT.

A SPECIMEN Brick OF DEMOCRACY The fol-
lowing eloquent, earnest and effective address
was delivered at recent Democratic caucus in
the town of Sanford, Broome County, N. Y,
by man who had been an inmate of the coun-
ty Jail on an indictment for murder. The speech
is too good to be lost. Here it is:

The Washington correspondent of the Spring

"Mr. Douglas has within month sunk rap
idly out Of sight. 1t is astonishing how little
interest is felt in his fortunes. He leads nobody
in Congress, is condemned by his party there,
and no one seems to care what will be his future
course. He is paying court to the fire-eaters,
just now, with great assidulty, and endeavoring
to win them over to his side in his quarrel with
Mr.. Buchanan. Some of these gentlemen very
naturally sympathize with Mr.. Douglas, for
upon various questions they too have been at
loggerheads with the Administration. Denials
to the contrary notwithstanding, it is every
where believed that within week meeting Of
his friends has been held at the house of Judge
Douglas 1t is also believed, and think
kno,on, that Forney made fight against the reso-
luton to which the particular friends Of Mr..
Douglas came, viz, to submit his name to the
Charleston Convention and abide by the result
Mr.. Forney has been altogether too much in
earnest In his war upon the Administration, in
defence of the liberty of freemen in all the
States, to consent to make friends with tho Bit
ter politicians who intend secretly to strike him
down the moment he returns to his party. Mr..
Douglas knows that Forney cannot reion the
Democratic party, but thinks he himself can do
it, and it has always been characteristic of the
man to throw overheard those Of his political

A correspondent of the ST. Louis Republican,
writing from Camp Floyd, Utah Territory, de-
clares that Brigham Young has out-generald
all the great leaders of the day by getting the
army OF three thousand men to Salt Lake
That army has utterly failed of securing the
object for which it was detailed, viz, the estab-
lishment OF civil tribunal which Norman and
Gentle should alike be forced to respect while
it is feeding and clothing the naked and hungry
dupes of misguided fanatic. The influence
of Brigham Young has not in the least abated,
and his midnight warrants are executed upon
all who render themselves inimical to his pur-
poses. 1t is not an uncommon occurrence to
hear Of the sudden disappearance Of men and
women in all parts of this singular community.
The Danites are Brigham's evenging angels.
When the army arrived at Salt Lake the fol.
lowers of Brigham Young, with the exception
of the leading ones, were in q state of AFFECT
poverty, and it was with difficulty that they
could procure necessary clothing, so numerous
was the family of each man and SO large the ex,
actions of the church. The presence Of the
army, however, by creating market, has filed
their pockets with Uuncle Sans gold. They
have been officially informed that so long as
they continue disloyal the troops will remain
there, and Of course their huing depends on
their disiogalty. "These people, adds the
writer, "will therefore continue to thrive as
long as this farce is played in Utah.
Various circumstances 60 to sustain this view
Of the matter, for although peace is maintain
ed in Utah, the attempt to establish the admin.
tration of justice by judicial proceedings on a
fair and impartial basis has signally failed the
Mormons, at last accounts, having entered upon
grand jury service armed with revolyers, which
they came very near using upon their Gentle
colleagues An army officer and several others
were not long since attacked by their midnight
police, and the government has accordingly d.
rected that the troops shall go armed when off
duty as well as when on. OF course, to expect
a voluntary submission to law from such men
is idle, and unles force is used what can be done?
But if force is used, the fanatical and deluded
people, instigatod by their selfh leader, will at
onco iorsake their homes, and scenes Of suffer-
ing will ensue which no pen could describe, and
which no humane ruler would wish to bring
upon them. And if the army is withdrawn,
what will protect the overland cmigration?--
Tho fact is, Mormanism is the greatest political
puzzle of the day, and whoever solves the rid
die will deserve well of his country.

CONGRESS- The principal business at Wash
ington the past week, has been long speeches
and warm discussions, without accomplishing
much. On Wednesday there was spirited
diologue between several Senators on the one
hand, and Douglas on tho other, the result only
showed that there is wide gap between Jimmy
Buchanan and his wing of the Democracy, and
Arnold Douglas and his wing. On Friday
there was spirited discussion upon the Cuba
Bill, and the Senate was in session until one
o'clock, but adjourned without accomplishing
anything, The prospect is the Bill will pass

MAPLE SUGAR WHEN FIRST MADE.
Charlerois, in his History of Canada, written
in 1721, speaks of the manufacture of sugar
from maple trees, and gives the process, and
says it was first produced by the French inn
migrants, who taught the art to the Indians,
who were previously ignorant of it. Can
anybody say positively who, when and where
first made maple sugar?
