PRESERVING THE PEAcH-After several
years trial, l am confident that the applica-
tion of fine birthstone (four of sulphurj to the
base of the tree will preserve it, first moving
away the earth about three inches deep, and
destroying the worm, if there be any, applying
small or large handful, according to the size
of the tree. and replacing the earth.
This may be done every year, or once in two
years This accidentally discovered moving
the earth from peach tree or inches in
diameter, much injured by the worms, the bark
all off, and the wood badly eaten away. Hav.
ing jar of sulphur by me emptied the con
tents, from half pound to q pound in the
opening made around the tree,- to clean ou.
the worms The earth was replaced, with
slim hopes of the tree recovering but during
the summer the foliage assumed deep rich
green, and the tree grew finely.
On removing the earth in the following
spring, no trace of the wound was visible

The Cultivation Of Corr.

The best mode of proceeding in relation to
corn is to plow very deeply in the FIRST in.
stance preparatory to the reception of the
seed, and to keep the surface soil light and
le0se in the after culture. Everybody knows
chat while corn strikes its roots to great
deapth, whenever the nature of the soil will
admit of so doing, its lateral roots spread out
id perfect network between the rows. Now
the most serious matter to be guarded against
in raising corn are the droughts that prevail
frequently at or near mid summer and wash
ing rains when the corn is planted on hillsides.
Deep pioWing protects the plant in very
great degree from the effects of drought, by
stirring up moisture below the poiut of rapid
evaporation. In the case of heavy rains it has
also the advantage of permitting the water to
percolate through the soil instead. Of holding
it in solution, as is the Case with shallow pfow-
ing on an under soil, which by constant and
sloyenly practice becomes of the nature of
hard pan If, then, the soil has been deeply stir,
red in the fist instance, surface tillage is the
only thing needed in the after culture. We
most decidedly object to plowing or cutivat-
ing the land to a considerable depth after the
growth of the corn is well advanced, because
this cannot be done without inflictiDg serious
injury to the great mass of 6brous roots which
extend laterally but few inches below the
surface, and which are constantly extending
themselves in search of fresh food throughout
the whole period of growth. The after.culture
should in no instance be of nature TO interfere
with the free ramifcaton of these delicate
roots, for by larcerating them we cut off just
so many mouths as we cut off 6bres, and thus
deprive the plant OF that amount of nouriSh
ment which these mouths would otherwise have
furnished. The rule then, is deep and thoro'
plowing before planting, tolerably deep cult
walton before the roots begin to extend to any
great distance from the stalk, and shallow stir
ring subsequently. 1t is customary with some
farmers to run light harrow over the corn as
the tender blade makes its appearance above
the surface, and the practice is good one in
loans and in all soils of light texture. But
where the soil contains q preponderence of
clay, and is apt to bake or form crust after
a rain, the danger is that in breaking up the
clod the young shoot will suffer injury. In such
eases it is much better to use the hoe n loos
ening the compact earth about the place, and
to let the shovel plow and the cutivator loos.
en- the intervals between the roots both ways
Frequently stirring Of the soil is absolutely
necessary from the time the plant appears
above the ground until harvest suspends, per.
baps temporarily, perhaps entirely, the work
OF after culture. - Rural Register.
