To Prepare Seed Corn.

The time is net far off when farmers
will have to think of planting corn, and
also to think Of heading wire worms.
crows, &c. Last year l prepared my
seed corn in the following manner Heat
water enough to cover what corn you
wish to plant in one day. boiling hot ;
add your tar at the rate of a pint or so to
Q bushel, pour your corn into the mixture
while hot, stir it to get it all mixed let
II remain until cold, then drain the water
from the corn and roll in plaster /; if plas-
ter is not at hand, use ashes. / prefer
plaster for handling; bnt ashes will not
hurt the corn, even in the hill, or on it.
By using the water hot, every kernel will
become coated with tar. / do not pretend
TO say that this is an effeetual remedy for
the wire-worm. but it is help. Last
year planted three acres before the hea-
Wy rains in May it nearly all rottted in
the ground. On planting it over, found
in almost every hill wire worms, from one
to six in number. / dropped the corn in
the same hills, and / do not think there
were q dozen hills missing from that
cause. in that field, or in the adjoining
one of six acres. though there were plenty
of worms in tho ground at the time Of
planting.
Crows are not very partial to corn pre-
pared in this manner, for it is bitter
pill even to them.

QstflI allo curious:

VOLCANIC ERUPTIoNs.-The phenome-
ma exhibited by volcanic eruptions, have
led to many discussions among scientific
men. Various theories have been advsn-
ced in order to explain these truly won
derful phenomena, all Of which bear close
analogy to each other. The most prob
able and generally received opinion Of the
cause of volcanoes is, that in the bowels
of mountains there exist large quantities
Of sulphur, bitumen, pyrites, and even
some of the alkaline bases-such as po-
tassium and sand. These, by exposure
to air or moisture, explode and ferment,
according to the quantity of combustible
matter contained in them. A large guam
tity of ariform matter is thus produced,
which struggles hard to find a natural
vent, and should it find that impossible,
it forces passage by raising the earth,
and makes its dreadful discharge in a
volcano. Water seems to be the impor-
tant ingredient which forms volcanic
eruptions. "For," observes DIR. Cl,rke,
"before any great eruption of Vesuvius,
not only does the water disappear in all
the wells Of Naples. Portici, Messina, and
other towns at the foot of the mountain,
but even the sea retires, and marine ami
mails, by the want Of their native element,
expire. The water, which has thus dis
appeared, is conveyed by numerous sub
terraneous passages to the subterraneous
fires. and, there being decomposea, its
elements are exploded with such terrible
violence. that the loudest artillery bears
but faint resemblance. The depths
of volcanoes are almost beyond compre-
hcnsion, and extend to an immense length,
breaking of into numerous subterraneous
fires.
