Distance I'm Planting.

A correspondent of the Southern
CDltiratoT says his theory in plant
ing is TO give equal distance each
way, and adds:
"An acre will make more in corn,
cotton, or any thing else you plant
it in, if you'll check it, or give it the
same distance in the drill that you
do iii the width of row, provided
you have an equal number of plants
on the acre. 1 can see no sense in
wide rows and crowded drills. In
deed il seems contrary TO every
principle of sound reason. Run
your rows as wide as you leave the
plants in the drills, and no wider.
With regard to the number of stalks
Of corn that should be on an acre,
l would suggest l20 for every bushel
you have reasonable expectation
Of making. If your land won't
make more than ten bushels and
you leave more than l,200 stalks,
some of the strength Of the land is
spent in producing stalks without
ears, which necessarily detracts
from its yield. 1900 ears will make
ten bushels corn, and 1000 stalks
should make !, 200 ears. The num-
Der of stalks, then, should depend
entirely on the strength of the land.
No reason can be assigned for putt
ing more stalks on an acre, than the
number of ears the acre is capable

FARM AND GARDEN.
The Peach blow. Potato.

A correspondent of the Prairt,
Farmer, writing from Valparaiso
Indiana, who has been growing pc.
tatoes for number of years, and
has grown all the varieties well
spoken Of, has thrown aside nearly
all except the white and red peach
blow. The red is a good potato /;
but one great objection to it with
him is that it-never stops growing
until the tops are killed by frost.
Then they require to remain in the
ground some time to ripen. After
the tops are dead the skin will slip
and give them rough appearance.
But the white peach blow fills the
bill with him. They ripen off some
two or three weeks before the red.
The white yields much better with
the same culture and quality of soil.
And as to quality for the table; he
'pronounces it far superior to the
red

Green-Cu1 Hay.

Very seasonably the question OF
the great advantage of cutting hay
when in a green state has been
taken up by some of our agricultu-
raj publications, although there can
be no doubt concerning the pro-
priety of doing so; for every farmer
who cuts a second crop knows how
superior it is for milk-producing,
and feeding purposes generally,
when compared with hay which has
been cut while in a ripe state, and
when almost all the saccharine mat
ter in it has gone to constitute the
woody fibre. No season has been
so favorable for trial of the early
moving plan than the present,
which, SO far as we can learn,
promises to be good for two crops
if the first is seasonably harvested
and when the rowen or second
crop may turn out as liberal in
quantity as the first one. The SUBJ
ject is one the farmers would do
well to think over and act upon, even
should hOeing be partially neglected
when the moving season comes.
In connection with this subject, the
method Of drying hay in the shade,
in the cock, and partially in the
NOW, may also be considered.

How 10 Have PIums Every Year.

A Canada correspondent of the
Ggtntry Gentleman says: "Oul
plum trees are loaded with good
fruit every year that we observe the
following directions: Put about 8
bushel of green manure around the
root of each tree, one bushel chip
manure on the stable manure, and
then a peck Of wood ashes on the
manure as soon as the snow is off.
Last year there were no plums on
trees in this neighborhood except
ours. l do not know the names of
the sorts we have, but they are some
of them pale yellow with a little
pink on the sunny side, some red
with a yellow shade on under side
of fruit, and some dark yellow, with
red. irregular marks on them. The
trees stand on hillside facing cast,
and have red cursant bushes between.
We see many pfums drop off, stung
by the curculio, but plenty remain
on the trees and ripen."

Grass CuItnre in the south.

Mr.. John Washington writes to
the Southern Planter and Farmer
as follows:
Tie greatest blunder committed
by Eastern Virginia farmers is
their neglecting to raise hay-any
hay-many Of them. To save fod-
der in the usual way, with hired
labor, as 4 remunerating feed, is
impossible. The substitute is easy
of access and ready to hand. Take,
for example, an acre of land. the
coming spring, that will produce
three or four barrels of corn; plow
it deep; manure it with good ma
nure of any kind (except guano, So
called, andsuperphosphates); bones
will do; then apply twenty bushels
of ashes scraped from the farm
houses, scatter with shovel from
the cart; if not enough to scatter,
cast them with the hand let the
land lie thus until you wish to seed
oats; seed on it from three quarters
to one hushel of oats (this quantity
will shade the grass and not crowd,
putting them in nicely; then seed
on the fresh surface one bushel of
orchard grass, and one gallon Of
clover seed; pass over the surface
with a light harrow or brush, and
roll it with a roller or log of wood,
and let it alone. If you can afford
it, let the oats fall as an improver
to both land and grass After the
oats are harvested, see that nothing
grazes il (neither calf nor pig,
young grass is as easily injured as
Young coFn) until after the crop Of
nag has been saved.
The Result. The next spring
or early summer, so soon as the
orchard grass is in blossom moi
brown or seeded), the clover will be
ready also; cut all for hay, anC
then feed or put it away to use il
place of fodder. You may safely
expect 1900 to 5000 pounds of hay
worth at least $40. Suffer nothing
to Craze il until lst of December
then let your dairy COW run omit ]

I HEREBY CERTIFY, THAT IN FEBRUA-
i ~, 1860. Mrs. Armstrong, of Indiana,
brought her child, then four years old, to Nash
Vile to have it examined by the Professors of
the Nashville Medical College. then in session.
Its disease was scrofula, and 1t was covered
with sores from the crown of its head to its feet
1t was completely blind and had never been
able TO stand alone The doctors told her there
was no cure for il, and it was useless even TO
try to give it relief. Having seen the child,
and being acquainted with its mother, advised
her to call in DIR. Westervelt, and let him see
it. which she did. lie told her Mt once that he
could cure it, and would warrant a cure if she
would take his medicine home with her. and
give it to the child according to his directions;
which she agreed to do. In three months from
that time she wrote TO me, stating that the
child was entirely we'll. There was not a sore
about it. its sight was restored, and 1t could run
about AS smart as any child of its age. 4 his
cure was performed over nine years ago. know
the child is still living. and has had no return
of the disease; | also know that DIR. Westervelt
has since cured other members of the family of
the same disease. j give this statement as

our State Legislature than to most others.
We notice that newspaper correspondents are
canvassing the prospects of the candidates for
the Presidency of the next Senate, one of
whom filled the chair with great credit dur
ing the last session. Having enjoyed the dis

bearing testimony to the ability Of Hon. VIM.
