HWAsHINGToN. Friday Jun

80 WASHINGTON, FRIDAY June ~
The DOUGLAS National Democratic Com
mittee have gone vigorously to work prepar-
ing for the campaign. 1t is not true, as ru-
mored, that Judge Douglas will canvass the
Southern States. He will take nc active part
in the canvass, although Gov. johnson will
stump Georgia, as breckenridge did Kentucky
in 1856. Mr.. Douglas leaves for Philadelphia
tomorrow, and visits New York before his re-
turn. Itisreportedt that Breckenridge will visit
California with Senator Latham. The friends
of Douglas and Jonson express their entire
confidence in carrying every Southern State but
South Carolina. No one here seems to think
Breckenridge has any chance for an election
by the people, though be may defeat Douglas
and secure the triumph of Lincoln. The Ad-
ministration prefers Lincoln to Douglas, and
hence Breckenridge tickets win be run in all
the Free States. The iercest fight will be in
the South, where it will be "war to the knife"

AN EAR OF CoRN.-A statement having ap-
peared that upwards of 1000 grains had been
shelled from one ear of corn, a correspondent
of an exchange paper, who thought he could
beat it, shelled several ears, which produced
as follows One 1850 grains; another ], 100,
and another 1,164. Some old farmers say
that a paper wrapped around an ear of corn,
the ear then taken out, will not contain the
shelled corn of the ear. I tried it with two
ears and the paper would not hold the corn;
one of those ears had 936 grains ON it, of
which 535 filled a pint cup. At this rate, it
would take 1920 grains to make bushel.

HINTS FOR TIE .SEAsoN.-Do not put off
cutting your hay until after the seed has RI
pened and the stalks and leaves become dry
and woody. Good, sweet hay is never made
from ripened grass. For home consumption
or sale in market, the early cut is always to
be preferred. 1t contains the elements of
nourishment nearly equally distributed through
out the whole substance, when, if left to ripen
the seed, the latter is almoststhe only part
worth the name of feed. Cure the hay 1eN,
and don't leave it to bleach in the sun and
wind. Letting the dew fall on it, is also in
furious. AS soon as it is sufficiently dry, put
in cocks. Use salt in the NOW, especially
when your hay is not of the best quality

How DEEP SHOULD WE PLow2-In reply
to this question, w. Reno, of Penn, says: eff
it should be a light, sandy soil, on an open,
gravelly subsoil, then shallow, fiat blowing
would be the best-say four or five inches deep,
laid over level. But if it be a heavy clay soil,
on a snbsoil of the same, then deep blowing
would be much the best-say from eight to
twelve inches. This should not be laid level,
as in the former, but with one edge elevated,
and lying partially on the previous furrow; SO
that in time of much rain, the water may lie
under the broken soil and pass off, leaving it
in good condition. And if the soil be natural
ly wet, then it will be best to loosen the soil
as deep as possible with a subsoil pillow, that
the surplus water may pass off through drains.
