SAILIT IN CORN PREVENTED.—Mr. B. PREVOn Hgives the following method of preparing seed corn to prevent the smut :—lnto a cistern put one gallon of water,i ale measure, and dissolve in it one ounce of sulphate of copper, for every bushel of corn to be prepared. Having two tub's that will contain about eight boshels, throw into one of them about two bushels of comp nod then pour on the solution till it covers the corn an inch or two ; carefully remove any thing that buts on the surface. Put corn into other tub, treat it in the same manner. When the corn has reposed half an hour in the first tub, after being well stirred, put it to Olio, in a strainer, over the second tub,. Who it no longer drips, plt.'ce it in a heap, and it will soon be dry enough to sow. The effect of this solution is mote certain the. dryer the corn is before it is mixed.
