Some Things About Corn.

Il may seem ofliIlle use for one brough.
up in . country where good farmers would
raise q whole acre of corn in seasOn,
and sometimes more, 10 talk 70 men
brought up in a prairie country about
corn Bpl remembering that many Of
your readers have had no more expe-
rience in prairie farsaing than lhe writer
these lines are pehnsd with the hope that
they may be of advantage to somebody
Whatever may be said about anything
else as staple, corn must long continue
to be one Of the chief products of Nebras.
ka. It is idle to talk about raising hogs
or cattle, or sheep even, TO profit, withour
something besides prairie hay. believe
there is nothing can be raised for food
so cheaply, pro6iably. and surely, as corn
How to raise the most with the least ex,
pense. becomes an Important inquiry.
PREPARATION OF TRE GROUND.
Corn may be raised in this country in
considerable quantities with very little
care in preparation or after culture. In.
deed l have seen corn raised in thi.
country without any other blowing than
a rough furrow il which to plant the corn
and little blowing between the rows
while the corn was growing; but no man
that calls himself a farmer ought to be
satisfied with anything short of lhe'mosr
thorough system of culture that can be
made profitable in his clrcumstances.-
The most important part of preparation
is the blowing. Experience has proved
that the true policy is to let the plow run
deep. The common practice is shallow
blowing, probably because it can be done
quicker and with less team; but it is far
better 10 plow one acre per day in such a
way as to raise Efty bushels per acre,
than to run over two acres and get only
thirty per acre. If the ground has been
plowed shallow previously, the best way
is to go down AN inch or two at time
There is no fear Of stirring the ground
TOO deep. If the season is wet, It serves
to drain Off the surplus water quickly
and if dry, the roots can strike below the
scorching, parching influence Of the sun
Perhaps many of your readers viii Ihinl
it folly to talk about blowing with dOu
bic team in old ground. but when they
put the plow down about ten or twelve
inches, they viii ind good team nsces
sary.
Quite d difference Of opinion exists
among farmers as to the best manner o.
planting. Some prefer shallow furroW
and light covering. while other like t.
have it deeper. In many places in The
East, corn buried as we plant il here
would never see the light. I have otter
seen the ground thrOwnupin ridges, snC
the corn planted on the ridge with abou
an inch in depth of covering. I have
seen it planted ia different ways in thi.
country; but after Eve years experienc,
and observation, a good furrow to droI
the corn in, and two good hoefuIls Of dir
to the bin for corn, suits me about as vel
as any way.

THE DEsr TIME 70 PLANT.

Here, too, farmers differ. Some pre-
fer the last Of April, and some the last Of
May. If the seasohbe favorable through
out, corn win do well planted anytime
from the middle Of April to the middle
of June; bat if August and September
be dry, two weeks difference in the time
of planting viii often make an important
difference in the crop.
Last year, owing to the drouth in this
prt of the Territory, the best tine to
plant was April 18th. This year the
25th was about the right time to begin ;
and / think as general rule, from the
2Osh Of April ,e she 4th Of May is the
best tine 10 plant.

THE GREAT NAVAL FIGHT.

Washington, March 10. Lieut.. Wise arriv-
ed here this forenoon bringing dispatches from
Fortress Monroe, but few particulars have yet
transpired as his interview is not closed. The
following items are reliable:
The loss in killed. drowned, wounded and
missing is supposed to be 100.
Lieut. Worden, who handled the Monitor so
sklfully, is here in tie hands Of the surgeons.
He was in the pilot house of the Monitor when
the Merrimac directed whole broadside at his
vessel. He received his injuries from fragments
of shells and powder which were driven through
the lookout holes.
Lieut. Worden was stunned by the conclusion
and was carried away. On recovering he asked
" have l saved the Minnesota ?" The reply
was g yes, and whipped the Merrimac,'' to
which he answered, " then | don't care what
becomes Of me-
The injuries of Lieut.. Worden are not sup
posed to be dangerous.
During the action the other rebel gunboats
and all the batteries of the enemy within reach
directed their fire at the Minnesota doing her
some damage and killing four or five of her men.
The Minnesota was eventually got off and
towed under the guns Of Fortress Monroe.
The crew OF the Congress are scattered and
there are no means of ascertaining the loss at
present Naval authorities and experts here are
confident that the Nerrimac is disabled, and
that the Monitor is adequate to her in any con-
dition
