Nor TOO LATE To PLANT CoRN-The pros
pect of better prices for farm produce should
lead every one to get in all the crops possible
the present year. 1t is by no means too late
to plant corn during the first week in June -
Some good farmers purposely delay their prin-
cipal corn planting until the last of May or
the first of June Their experience has tnught
them that, as a general rule, corn planted June
lst is as forward by the end of July, as that
planted May 10th. They say, that when
planted late, the ground is warm and quickly
germinates the seed, and starts it at once into
vigorous growth, and that it will soon overtakc
and go ahead of the early planted They also
argue that one hoeing is saved ny the late
working of the soil previous to planting, rs a
large number of weeds which have started, are
then killed. This year it is safe to act upon
this theory, where there is spare plot that
may be used. The quick growing varieties,
like the King Philip are most desirable for
late planting, and for filling mp vacant spots
in that already above ground. OF course, it
will not do to mix in the different varieties
where pure seed is to be gathered.

How to Hoe Corn.
To the Editor of the Aucrican .Agrieal,urist

To the Editor Of the american Agriouiurist
When was boy, and first went nto the
field to hoe corn, | was quite puzzled to know.
what my father meant, when he directed us
10 be sure aud hoe where the corn wasn't"
Bnt after following him few days, aud motto
ing the pains he took to have all the ground
6ctaccen the hills well stirred, as well as the
weeds cut up, and particularly when SAW how
careful he was not to disturb the ground deep
ly very near the young plants, | understood
his meaning. In a long acquaintance with
corn | have observed enough to make me think
he was right The weeds must be cut proof
and branch to have good corn that's certain,
and the ground must be kept loose enough to
let. the heat get in, and the moisture pass up
from below, and to allow the spreading roots
to make their way easily through the soil in
their search for good picking. But I've seen
a good many slash away with the hoe close
around the stalk, when every cut there, if two
inches below the surface must have brokeu
quite number of the growing roots. 1t GER
tainly can not be Of much Use 10 feed corn well
if you then 90 to work and cut off its mouths,
for the root are mouths to tie plant. So !
always cultivate lightly where the roots have
extended, which is about the length that the
stalk has reached above the ground, and when
the corn is up breast high, wouldn't let NAH
go through the field with plow, if he'd pay
wages for doing it and find himself. do not
believe i hilling corn ;making tie field look like
n crop of young fag-staffs- planted on small
pinnacles The stalk has grown up into the air
where it intended 20 stay, and it isn't hatur"l
10 partially bury it alive. People do it, to pgop
it up, so that the wind will not level it. But
if it be let alone, it will do its own propping,
by sending forth extra roots just above the
surface, which go out and anchor it all around.
have seen field that was hed, laid fiat by
q storm, while the next one to it, that grew
naturally, stood up after the blow, as straight
as militia captain on trainingday. When
corn is killed. it will try to send out a second
growth of supporting roots, but neither the
first nor the second growth will then become
strong enough TO be of much use. | therefore
try to leave my ground nearly level, and thus
also save the roots the trouble of diving down
again, to get below the gullies which are some
times left after the first powing. JONATHAN.

LOOK OUT FOR THE INSECTs-Owing to the
decrease of birds, and perhaps to other causes
insects are now alarmingly oil the increase
Their mischief is usually discovered too late to
do more than prevent the possibility Of their
multiplying, by picking up and feeding ont or
cooking the punctured fruit. and thus destroy
ing the worm lodged in the heart. This is a
tedious operation however, and hardly practical
ble with peaches, plums and cherries.
Tue parents of all these mischievous worms
are winged insects, which Autter about among
the trees, and lay their eggs either upon the
surface of the tender fruit, or punCturc it and
deposit the eggs beneath the skin Again most of
these winged insects, or miIlerS, are either la
turaliy might flyers, or can be brought out hy
strong light. Now, every one has observed
that millers arc so attracted by light as to fly
directly into the flame of a candle 1t is we'll
to take advantage of this weakness, and kindle
low fires about the orchard and fruit gardens
in the evening, and thus catch the trGspasSers
The early part Of June is the proper season to
commence this war of cxterminatIon which. if
vigorously entered into by ncighborhood
would destroy vast quantities of them in the
very act of providing for their progeny
Remember, too that with every parent moth
from fifty to one hund, ed little white maggots
are destroyed. Follow this practice up night
after night, for two weeks, and an immense
number of insects will be cut off. Tic old rags

and then in saw.duSt or powdered charcoal
