Dir. n. ID. Oviatt, of Jacksonville,
Humphreys county, Tenn, communicates
to the Southern Farmer some hints on
the culture of broom corn, and preparing
it for market, which viii be found very
useful, since that article has become one
of our staple crops. lie says:
Auy soil that will raise Indian corn will
also raise broom corn, and even a soil too
poor TO be profitable in Indian corn will
often prove remUnerative in broom corn.
A poor piece Of clay hills that would not
raise Indian corn, by being manurcd, even
a little, and then proper culture of the
corn, will do quite well in broom corr.
Prepare the same as for Indian corn and
the better the preparation the better the
crop.
In good, rich soil, lay off your field ~
drills three and a hale or four feet ~ AT,
then drop the seed in abundance, aud
thin out when from two TO six inches
high TO about five stalks TO each foot,
though some of our raiscrs say not thin at
at all, but let it alone and it VII thin

plaster or ashes, or both, will help, where

CnIturc of the Pca Nut.

To the Editors of the Union and American:
The pea nut is planted from the lst to
the 10th of May. Your ground cannot
Le LOO --ia-lsr I.rllparized- Vol should have
it entirely clear of clods, and in good
soil. You bed your land in the same
way that you do for cotton, the rows
about three feet apart, and in each bed
run triangular harrow, which leaves the
top of your ridge, and will knock off the
remaining clods, if any; and also have
your ridge plenty high. Next open your
ridge with bull tongue pillow; (your peas
have to be hulled) Plant one pea in the
furrow of the bull tongue, about ten
inches apart then cover with a small
harrow. As soon as they are up, use the
side harrow, and follow with the hoe.
The next blowing is done with the bull
tongue pillow, the next with turning
pillow, so as TO throw the earth as high
upon the vine as you can, so as TO enable
the spikes 10 enter the ground, which is
the last working you give them. Toward
the last of September you viii perceive
that the vines are turning yellow. You
then run bull tongue close to your vines
on either side; you then follow the pillow
and pull up the peas, turning the vines
down, and placing about three rows to
gether. As soon as that is done, procure
your poles for stacking them around.
Said poles should never be over
five or six feet high, and the lower end
sharpened, and set firmly in the ground;
next get you two small pieces of wood,
place them about one and half feet from
the poles, which act as sills and keep the
peas off the ground. Make a platform
On these sills; then commence stocking
your peas, even if they have not been
dug longer than one day, though two or
three days will not hurt; then turning out
the vine and the peanut about two
or three inches from the pole, and do not
press them toe closely; and when you get
your peas to the top, or nearly so, bring
them to the pole and cap them with a
bundle of fodder or grass. In stacking
them that way, they will cure perfectly
bright, and there is no danger of their
moulding. In week or ten days they
will rattle in the hull. Some persons then
pull them off with their hands. l prefer
large goods box, and by whipping the
peas ON the edge of the box, the peas fall
inside. Ithen run them through a good
fan and sack them for market, and the
pea hay is preferable 10 fodder for any
kind of stock, that is, the red peanut.

Dunno for FrhIt Trec..

The use of guano for fruit trees is said
TO combine an advantage which is of
inestimable value to the fruit grower; this
is the destruction of the pupe of insects
which lie buried in the earth and emerge
from it during Che warm weather of
spring. The covering of these insects
when they first come out of the ground is
not hardened, and contact with a strong
solution of gueno destroys them. Sever
al kinds of insects which were expert
mented on in order TO test the value of
guano in this particular, were instantly
killed when brought IN contact with even
a weak solution of it, Salt and whale oil
soap are apt to be injurious to vegetation,
but by strewing guano around the trees
and digging it in few inches the trees
will be benefited and injurious insects de
stroyed. As the pup9 of these insects
descend in the winter below the reach of
frost, there is but little use in applying
guano until they come near the surface of
the soil, about the end of May or the be-
ginning of June.
1t is said that guano is admirably al
apted as manure for pear trees, causing
vigorous growth of wood and abundance
of fruit. When making experiments, the
best Peruvian guano should be used, and
if young trees are to be MANFRED, little
guano dug into the surface around the
tree viii be advantageous. The best
mode of applying guano to fruit trees is
first to ascertain the position of theyoung
feeding roOts-their distance from the
stem of the tree, and also their depth in
the ground, then to place the guano as
near to them and as much around them as
possible without letting it come in contact
with them.

Potatoes for Cattle.

An exchange says il is not probable thai
potatoes could be fed proftably to cattle
as main sustenance, but they would I'M
doubtedly be of great value, as well as
beets, carrots, or rutabagas, to mix with
the dry fodder OF winter, in maintaining
the health and condition of the animals.
They are improved by cooking, but not
enough to pay for the cost of apparatus
labor and fuel, unless unusual facilities
'could be obtained. If there is large
quantity of potatoes on hand that cannot
be sold, cut them up with slicing ma
chine and mix them at first in moderate
quantities with meal, hay or cut straw,
to be gradually increased. They may be
fed to sheep, cattle and horses.
