To Farmers.

The fernando Press has the follow
ing excellent and timely suggestions,
which we commend to our planting
friends
The time is near at hand when our
farmers will be pitching crops, and we
would earnestly suggest to them the
Importance of abridging the cotton
crop and planting an extensive area
in corn. The advantage of such a
course is plain, because, if we onld be
prosperous we must be Independent of
all others in the article of food. In be-
half of the widows and orphans ofour
country who cry for bread, we urge
the farmers to plant corn and other
edibles. To make such crops will fill
the cribs, smoke houses and cellars
with abundance; and at the same time
abrogate the necessity of further de-
pendence upon the States of the North
west for those articles.
The planter who devotes his atten-
ton exclusively to the cultivation of
cotton will find that, next fall, he will
get fifteen cents per pound for that ar
ticle, and after paying the enormous
tax, which is imposed, it win net him
not more than nine or ten cents. Be
sides he is spending his time and
money in order to pay an unjust reve-
nue., which is imposed upon us by our
enemies, because cotton has hereto
fore been the principal staple of this
Therefore, we say, let us
make corn, the principal staple, upon
which there is no such unjust tax
imposed, ard let the northwest, which
5 growing rich upon the folly Of the
Exclusively cotton growing districts Of
he South, seek another market for
heir products Let us proclaim, once
or all, that Corn Is KING.

She knows the Smiths across the way,
And what they dine on every day;
And thinks that Miss Mailda Jane

She knows the Browns at Number Four,
Just opposite her very door;
FOLKS quite as poor as they can be,
For dont they sit and sew while she
Is peeping through the blinds
Dear ladies, If you don't succeed
In gaming knowledge that you need,
Then at your window take your seat,
And gaze into the busy street;
Full soon you'll know your neighbors well,
And can their tastes and habits tell.
And know their business to T,
Much better than your own, You see,

Turuips among Corn

Mr.. John Hamill, writing on this subject to
the GermantoGn Telegraph, says:
IT Is frequently the case that in passing
through corn.felds in autumn, we find the
space between the rows occupied with sturdy
weeds; sometimes the spurious vegetation
completely overtops the maize, and stcast it
into The shade" Now l would inquire, is it
not much better and more prudent, in every
sense OF the word, for the farmer to OCCUPY
the coil monopolized by the exhausting weeds
with some crop that will contribute to his
resources, than to have it filled with such
productons, and which will not only "sap
the land" most yretckedly, but foul il by the
dissemination of their minute and muititu.
sinious seeds! CerteinIy no farmer can doubt
.ne amrmahve. By sowing the Purple Top
o ouanip SEED at the last dressing of the corn
crop, and scuffipg 1t in, or sowing lust before
ram and allowing that to cover il, be can have
q hundred bushels of good turnIps per acre, if
the SOIL pc rich and well cultivated, instead of
a host OF worthless and ps stilent weeds.
