From the Wisconsin Farmer
Corn Culture.

1t is settled fact that corn is the
most important and profitable gram
crop of the " est 1t is not uncom.
non to see fields of corn that com,
rise several hundred acres, and yield
.rg, on an average. from so to 60
bushels per acre. grown by individu-
al farmers. OF course they employ
hired labor in cultivating aud harvest
ing 1t. Two hundred and ten bushels
per acre is l believe, the great t
number of bushels that has ever been
raised on an acre of ground. One
hundred and fifty bushels per acre
have been frequently raised, and l be-
lleve that if we would cultivate it
better, we would at least, double the
present average yield of corn. If we
would bestow the same amount of la
Dor, manure, and expense, upon a fif-
ty acre field of corn that we usually
bestow upon field containing twice
that number of acres, we would raise
about as much corn and save half the
expenses of keeping up our farm. |
remem ber, one year, large premium
was offered by our county \ Agricultur.
al Society, for the largest WELD Of
corn in the county, from field of
twelve or fifteen acres. One of our
farmers that usually raised from
twenty to thirty acres of corn each
season, and which averaged about 30
or 40 bushels per acre, concluded that
he would try to secure the prize
By cultivating only about half his
usual number of acres, he raised a
crop that averaged over one h,andred
bushels per acre, and secured the
prize. By deep blowing, heavy ma
nurlng, and thorough cultivation, he
found that he could raise as much on
fifteen acres as people usually had
raised on fifty. Every one of course.
tried to raise a hundred bushels to the
acre, and some succeeded; but the
greatest difficulty was the scarcity of
manure. The farmers had not been
IN the habit of saving and economic
ing manure. without which the high
est degree of productiveness is never
attained. They learned, ,cver, to
manure well, plow deep, and ltivate
thoroughly, to be successful in raising
a good crop
1t is the best plan to use three
horses and pillow eight and ten inches
deep when breaking mp ground for
corn. BY blowing so deep, we do not
get over so manv acres, but we do in
crease the fertility of the soil, and
bury the crop of weeds, or the seeds
of the weeds, so far beneath the sur
face that they never gcrminate

There was no Senator, save Rever-

though Mr.. Buffers delivery is not
equal to that of many other members.
He read from printed copy, and when
he came to that part in which he al
luded to Reverdv Johnsons having
written a letter committing himself
against mpeachment, all eyes were
promptly turned upon the latte, who
took his hand from his head and turn

great uneasness, and W his conduct
clearly showing the directness of the

out like an uneasy spirit, and walked
up and down the corridor until ad-
