Broom Corn Culture.

The high price of broom corn straw
and the ease with which it can be cult
waited should stimulate our farmers to
give this subject the attention it de-
rnands. The old system of raising In.
dian corn and wheat, or cotton, OK
clusively, is being rcpudiatel by enter
prising agricuIturalists everywhere,
and the sensible plan adopted of rails
ing diversity Of crops By this
means, Gguraiiyc,y speaking, many
irons are kept in the fire at once, and
the failure of one or two, on account
of unlortuitous circumstances, is
not so disast, Gus in its consequences.
MIR. WIN. II. White. in the Hearth and
Home, has an excellent article on the
broom corn subject to which we invite
the attention OF our readers:
IAN important item growing a
good crop is in blowing and filming the
soil preparatory thereto. and one which
receives too little attention generally.
Plow the ground deep and well, and
make the soil fine by narrowing, etc. +;
this is done about the same time your
Indian corn ground is prepared in
spring. Strike out your rows north
and south if convenient, rs giving n
better sun exposure, three feet apart,
with q one-hOrse plow, and in these
drills place fine, we'll rotted old manure
or compost, three to five cords per acre
thirty inches apart for the hills Il pre-.
fer hill to drill culture for convenience
of tillage.) This will give the plants
an early, healthy start and growth,
which is essential, as they are tender,
having only slight hold in the soil,
and easily affected by cold. etc. 1t is
not best to plant till the soil gets warm,
following Indian corn rather than be-
fore.
If you have the best of seed, ten or
twelve seeds to bill are plenty to guard
accidents. Haul little earth over the
manure. and drop the seed on it. and
cover with half an inch of fine soil. II
ldapt these directions to small growers
Who wish to grow good crops. :

The PNDAR-Thc Port Gibson
Standard has an antitle on the pindur
or goobcrpca. II SAYS "Our friend,
Mr. }. II. llcdrick, informs us that he
raised, this season, from about half an
acre Of ground, S3 bushels Of pindars,
most Of which he has shipped to mar
kct. We believe they are worth SO so
per bushcI in Louis. Even at 81 there
is no cotton crop will pay like that 1t
would be u very poor acre OF ground
that would not produce at least 100
bushels, and very poor 100 bushels
Of pindars that would not bring $500
net. Can any farmer do that with cot
ton ? The labor and expense Of culture
are comparatively nothing, and there
is sure and increasing market for
them
There is 40 reason why the farmers
Of aankln county could not make
money by raising pindars, if they would
only embark in the enterprise. They
can be planted after putting in corn,
and seed can be obtained in Nashville
from Gepnett a. Co., wholesale dealers
in Tennessee peanuts, green and dried
frnit, sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes,
etc, Nos. 63 and 20 South Market
street. Who'll make the experiment

will Issue Democratic newspaper.
1t will be like his COpperhead, and
therefore we pity Kansas. The pres
ence of Van were subject Of abundant
COMMUNICATION, but the adjunct OF
another Copperhead ought to make
pity doubly keen. Immigration to
Kansas was one Of the proposed events
Of 1870. II that influx OF population
Is desired, Oswego had better buy Van

that this route would bring Pella
nearer than Otley. The route lies
entirely through valleys; and Its esu.

"INsrDEs. AS will be seen by re-
fcrring to the four inner pages Of this
paper, we have made arrangements
with an extensive Chicago Publishing
House to print part Of our edition

very much more reading matter every
week than we could possibly give In
any other way--andve good reading
matter too. ! 1t Is really combining q
