Hence, there Is nothing gained in planting corn before evaporation has carried off the Spring rains, and the temperattlre of the scill is sufficient to expand and germin ate vegetable aced. But when the sea son is reasonably advanced, and the land is dry and warm, get in your corn without delay.

No true farmer will disptite tills. Corn roots extent] over a large surface, and will seek food from rBl portion!, of the soil broken by the plough. Again, Many seasons are subject to droughts, and that, generally, Is at the time when the ears are maturiug. A safe-guard egalneVdrought is a well drained soil, subsoil ploughing and frequent culture of the growing crop. We prefer the inverted soil, Spring ploughed, if a dry, mellow soil. If a miff clay bind, we should have ploughed ft last Fall, so that the Winter frosts could aid in breaking It up; giving it - time for thi sod to rot and mingle with the soli. Some grass lands are very tenacious--such as the blue grass, on litnestone land in the Middle Reties. On alluvial ploughed land In New Eng land, or on most loose soils which con tain considerate organie matter, Spring ploughing answers, and generally need not be broken op much before the time of planting.

As odea of planting, we are firmly in favor of having the rows to run Not and South ; laying the land off in twoydlrections, at right' angles to each other, and planting where the furrows crum each other,. For smell varieties of corn, three and a half feet apart for the Lill,, but for the Jytturpr varie tied' of corn, four feet Is better.
