Manuring Corn in the Hill.


When manure is scarce and the
greatest effect is demanded the first
season, or when corn is on good sod,
and little start is wanted at first,
or when the land is rather cold and
the season uncertain, it is best to
manure in the hill for corn. If one
has a fine compost, say of swamp
muck and manure, containing / of
the latter, aftor marking cut, good
shoyelful may be distributed to three
or four hills, and the corn dropped
directly upon it. If, however, the
compost is made up of ashes, super
phosphate, guano, poudrette, ETC.,
singly or mingled, it must be mixed
with..soil and covered with a little
earth besides, or the seed may be
killed by coming in contact with it.
Such active fertelizers, and the list
is large, must always be used with
care, not to have the seed injured
Yet they are needed close at hand,
for the encouragement of the young
plant as soon as it starts. Super
phosphate, ashes, gypsum, soda-salt,
peter, etc., may be applied upon the
hill after the corn is up, or, at least,
after planting, with quite as good
effect as if put in the hill,

FIELD CORN.

Every man has a definite notion OF
what field corn is-yet how different
are these ideas. To the Canadian
or Maine reader it means little s..
foot variety, with 8-inch ears, and
8-rowed; the kernels usually yellow
as gold, and hard as flint. He plants
it in rows, 3 feet apart, and in hills
90 to "a inches apart in the rows
1t nav be planted in June. and cut
mn in 80 days. To the Connecticut
Valley and New York farmers, field
corn is larger, coarser, taller, of lars
ger ears, of more various colors and
qualties-planted in hills 3 to 81
feet apart, usually in May and har-
vested in September, allowing 10 to
120 or more days for it to mature
enough to be cut up. As we go
West and South, the size of the plant
and the length of season require for
its development and perfection in
crease; 4 and 5 feet apart is no un>
usual distances to fird the hills, and
the ears, instead of being 8 rowed
and IL to IA inches long, as in the
Middle and Eastern States, are short,
thick, and IL to 20 rowed, while the
kernels lose the finty character, in
a measure, and gain certain meal
mess, and in shape resemble gourd
seed, or horses tooth. The yarie
ties of corn are almost infinite, (if we
may use the expression). and yet it
is remarkable that the plant is eve-
rywhere governed by the same rules
of culture, and Instructions good for
Maine will apply in Louisiana.
Corn needs deep and rich soil, or
especial manuring, and the ground
must be dry and warm. The culture
should be thorough previous pulyer-
ization, with the dissemination of
manure throughout the soil, by plow-
ing and narrowing, unless, indeed,
the corn be planted on a good sward
turned under, in which case manurt
ing with good compost, stable ma
nure, or some concentrated fertilizer
in the hill is desirable on soils which
need manuring to ensure good crop.
After planting, the culture should
consist in keeping the weeds down,
and the surface free and open, for
the action of the air and the absorp-
ton of dew and other moisture.
The stalks should not be so crowd
ed that they cannot mature well !;
and,if the culture be thorough, farm
mers generally err in putting the
drills too far apart and letting too
many stalks stand in each hill. It's
much more economical of space to
plant in drills; the stalks foot apart
and the drills 80 inches to Al feet,
according to the variety-this dis
tance being little less than halft
hight of the stalks, on an average,
Mover allow more than 4 stalks on q
hill. II all the culture is to be done
by horsepower, it pays to sacrifice
little of the land to convenience, and
pat the corn in hills equally distant,
and in true rows, running both ways.

Goldsdoro' Fortune smiled upon us YES
terday, and we had the pleasure of hearinga
thorough Republican speech from the Hon.
Henry Wilson, U. S. Senator. The hour of
2 o'clock, P. NJ, having arrived, the bell
from the Courthouse summoned the people
to the above mentioned place, and about
quarter past two the honorable gentleman
was introduced to large audience of both
races by Mr. j. E. O'Hara We regret that
bis time was very limited, (having only for
ty-ive minutes) being obliged to leave at
half past three for Newbern. The majority
of his audience was whites, and am pleas
ed to write, that they were earnest listeners,
and that a perfect spirit of peace and har-
mony prevailed. His advice to his white
hearers was that they must acknowledge the
manhood OF the colored man, to con-
form in good faith to the Constitution
of the United States. and faithfully adhere
to the laws of the general government and
to mourn no longer over "a lost cause."-
His advice to his colored hearers was, that
as they are now freemen, to hold their heads
faithfully discharge their duty to God, their
country and their neiglfbors. Again has the
American eagle began to stretch his pinions
over the sunny South, from which they have
so long been withdrawn, and the day is
not far distant when the Republican ban

buckle on the armor of faith and enlist un-
der the Republican banner, that has been
thrown to the breeze, having on it inscribed
in letters that shall never fade, Union, Lib
erty and Political Equality. To those who
doubt the negro, let me assure them, that
they will use the ballot. for the same good
purpose, and as sensibly as they did the
bullet, and with this new weapon they will
achieve all that is necessary; how we'll they
use the bullet, I will leave that for our friends
