FARM AND GARDEN.
Large and small Kernels for SEED.

Large and Small Kernels for Seed,
We have heretofore called attention to
the importance Of selecting the largest
and test variety of corn for seed, Every
farmer should select his seed from his own
crop, when he is gathering the corn, and
not depend upon any otherportion Of the
country for supply Corn that has been
accKmated will yield much the largest
erop. A correspondent gives his ex-
nerience in raising corn as follows
aSome ten wears ago Iplanted an ear OF
corn 10 test the difference between The pro
duot of the kernels Of both ends and the
middle of the same ear, and viii give you
the result The soil was just alike, the
cnltiVation the same, and the crop very
different. planted the first two rows
frono The large end of the ear the next Two
rows from the middle, and the last two rows
from the tin or small end and planted all

To Destroy weed. on walks.

A correspondent Of the Journal Of
Horticulture recommends salt to destroy
weeds ON walks. OF course care must be
taken in applying it that none be thrown
ON the edging, otherwise it will kill lti
bnt little practice will enable any one
IN do this without danger Of such result
The quantity to apply must depend on
circumstances; If the walk is one passing
thrnuUh n meadow where grass seeds
abound, and where it is but little used,
weeds will grow rapidly, and salt may be
more literally applied; but where there
is only little moss to destroy very small
dusting will suffice. The best plan Tor
the inexperienced TO adopt is to use very
little salt at first, to be careful not to scat
ter any over the roots of box If such is
grown as an edging, removing the weeds
from that part by other means, and II the
quantity used do not effect the object to
repeat the application after a time taking
care net 10 salt too much. If the keeping
down of weeds were the only advantage OF
using salt, its adoption might be open TO
many objections; but it likewise keeps
worms away, and destroys the weeds
without loosening the gravel or other ma
teriais composing the walk. This advant,
age is Of the greatest Importance where
the number of persons who traverse the
walks daily is small, for however carefully
weeds are picked up by hand, or forced
up by the hoe, some disturbance Of the
surface must be caused, and before that
can be fairly remedied the operation has
to be repeated, and a loose unpleasant
surface is the result, or constant rolling
becomes necessary. Now with salt moth
ing is disturbed, the weeds wither and
disappear in few days, and even II they
are deep rooted ones, such as dandehons
and docks, an extra pinch over the crown
will generally kill them.

a resource in their reach, which, though
apparently Insignificant promises handsome
returns 10 those who avail themselves of IT.
We allude TO the blackberry crop which
mas been long neglected in the South, and
in regard to which we have recently been
in correspondence with our New York
friends. The result Of our investigation
has been that the best plaza to render this
crop profitable is 10 dry the berries for
shipment North.
This, we are informed by onr friends in
New York, is done both by artificial heat
and by that of the sun, but those dried by
exposure TO the heat of the sun are most
esteemed and command the highest price:
They may be dried in the same mode used
in drying peaches, or they may be exposed
10 she sun ON wire cloth, coarse sheeting, or
any other material that viii allow the free
circulation Of air Dealers here can afford
to pay fifteen 10 seventeen cents per pound
for them, for shipment to Northern cities,
and as they are very abundant and much
less trouble 10 dry than peaches, we think
the subject deserves the attention OF the
people. PONDER * BEAN.
