TuENPS AMoNG CORN.--I think some Of

upon this subject; but no matter if they
have. the more that is said upon the subject
lie better. 1t is frequently the case that in
passing through cornllcdS in autumn. we
find the spaces between the rows occupied
with study weeds; sometimes this spurious
vegetation over'opS the maize, and - casts it
into the shade" Now. ! would inquire, is
it not much better and more prudent, in
every sense Of The word for the farmer tc
occupy the soil monopo'iScd by tIe eNhausting
weeds with some crop that VIII contribute to
his resources, than to have it filled with such
productions. nd.which will not only . sap
the land most wretchcdly, bat sour it by
their minute and multitLdlnous seeds =
Certainly no farmer can doubt the aft ma tive.
BY sowing the Purple Top turnip seed at the
last dressing Of the corn crop, and " sculllng''
it in, or sowing just before rain and allowing
that to cover it, he can have hundred
bushels of good turnipS per acre, if the soil be
rich and well cultivated, instead of host
of worthless and pcs'ilcnt weeds. JOHN
