Corn Culture.

b. f. Johnson, of Campaign, Illinois
furnishes j 3 pages to the published 'Trans-
actions of the State Board of Agriculture"
on the varieties, culture and most profitable
uses OF Indian corn. The best variety in
any region is stated to be that which ifty
years Of cultivation have shown to be the
best for that locality, always giving the
preference il any, for procuring seed TO
more southern latitude. The cultivation
recommended is in accordance with the
practice Of The best farmers the enriching,
instead Of looking to yard manure or arti-
fetal fertilizer, is to be the turning under
of green crops-clover, timothy or blue
grass sod. To lortify this position, Mr. J.
gives two or three experiments of his own
and theirs. He planted five or ,ix acres on
old prairie, after manurng heavily the pre-
vious autumn and wilterwith COW, pig and
horse manure planted nearly four feet each
way, cultivated as usual, and in September
good judges estimated the coming crop
equal to eighty five or ninety bushels per
acre, the ears being large aud numerous,
seven eight feet above ground on stalks
averaging eleven or twelve feet high. But
after husking, the scales corrected the esti.
30, mate, and cut 1t down to less than fifty
bushels per acre Another field, whch ha:
been underdraned, and heavily manured
in previous years, was planted nearly in ths
same way the year before, which was ac
companied by severe droutb and i
brought less than forty bushels per acre. II
the third experiment the field was light,
manured, and planted, not in equal rows
81. but in drills four feet apart, The stalk
.la were nine inches in the rows When a few
inches high, each stalk had small hand

and estimating 80 pounds to the shele
