How Ths, Corn was Raised.

Editor heaAe5ec J0araal-As your cores pond
ent "Subscriber' has used my name and as you
have fit to call me out, will briefly respond.
First, "Subscriber' is in error as to my corn be-
ing raised without manure. | will tell you the
story ia brief; My corn ground, four acres, was
broken 10 August, 1870, some six inches deep.
Last spring it was well pulverzed with the cult
vator aud harrw, fulrowed pretty deep. as the
ground is very dry, ana two hundred pounds of
plaster and nearly four hundred of Bradley's Y
l.. superphosphate, thoroughly mixed together,
pes acre put in the hill. This was covered well
and carefully with the hoe, and the corn dropped
and even, but was afterwards harmed considera-
bly, by wire woiins.
lreceived two honest hoeilgs aud was left to
itself till the first week in September, when it was
cut and shocked.
II was planted on the llth, 18th and 18th of
May. The ground was completely run out 1t
had been moved till it was not worth moving,
and several years after it was turned into cow
pasture and the COWS yarded there nights till the
extent Of production was little Ju ne grass and
sorre, the first of the season, and large part of
il was covered with moss. Ii received no other
manure save tina, mentioned above. II is hard,
dry, rocky land, but strong soil. The crop suf-
fered severely from the drought while it was fill
ing out, diminishing the yield in my Judgment,
from ten to twenty per cent.
We have put in the crib enough for one hun
bred and fifteen bushels Of shelled corn, bright
and sound, be- sides SEINE five baskets Of seed and
twenty five of smsli c1rn-no great thing, | allow,
but just the facts, and | reckon full as well As 20
ing 70 Missouri for it.
Yours truly, u. II THING.
