The President, having resigned the Presi-

A Creditable Corn Crop.

Mr.. VIM. NJ. Large, near Newton,
Bucks county, Penn, raised last year
on one acre 104 bushels and thirty
quarts of shelled corn. He recently
detailed his treatment of the crops at a
meeting of the Bucks county agricultu-
raj society, reported in Bucks county
Intelligencer, and to those desiring to
do likewise the particulars may be of
service. The land was a timothy sod,
sandy loan, moved twice since being in
wheat. and lined for wheat. Manured
the wheat after sowing at intervals du-
ring the winter following, up to March,
whep there was heavy coat upon it
but he omits to state how much, hich
is chronic weakness Of most farmers.
Began plowing May 1st depth five
inches was careful not to turn up any
subsoil. Every evening he rolled the
land plOwed during the day. Next he
pulverized thoroughly with a Kelsey
harrow mark d out one way, four feet
apart planted one grain every fifteen
or eighteen inches planted May 8th
and 9th. After sprOuting, cultivated
once, then plowed from the row with a
Phifer plOw; cultivated again, then
plowed once more, reversing the fur
row, and cultivated next a third time.
and leveled the two burrows made by
the plOw. Went over the field twice
after that to hoe and weed by hand.
Had seventy-three shocks on the acre,
measured. Yield of whole field (size
not stated over one hundred bushels
per acre. As an additional experiment
be planted twenty rows at one end of
the field in hills, four feet each way,
with four stalks per hill, fertilizing
with hen manure and ashes. Result
more ears by count, but less grain in
measure than where planted in drills
without manure in hill, as detailed
above; difference about three quarts
per shock, which evidently was nearly
