farmer's Ocpaitmcut. Testing Seed Corn. There is so much thimugvil corn this year that much care will be requisite in selecting Fiich a-s is suitable for seed. I have seen in vour paper and elsewhere, several modes smr fffsted for testing; qnnlities, but they are efficient, iinpracticniilv. or altend'd with too touch trouble to be generally useful. The following mode will be found simple, practical and certain,and can be applied to any extent desired. Put the shelled corn in a ves sel or vessels of snch dimensions as are requir ed for the quantity to be tested. Pour water over it of about the temperature of milk from the eovr, nntil it is fairly covered, adding to the watiir from time to time, if the absorption and •welling of the corn should raise it above the surface. Bet it in a moderately warm place, and let it remain there twenty-four hours.— Then pour the water off, cover the corn with some thick cloth which must be kept wet, and let it stand in a mass, still in a warm place, un til it sprouts. —This will take place in from thirty six to forty-eight hours, usually, if the corn is good. I prepare all my corn for planting in this manner, though 1 know seed to be good. I plant sometimes with the sprout half an inch long. The rckult is that it brings the plant forward a week or more earlier than planting dry. This advantage in the fall is souietinres very important. The damaged corn from tny field last year did not exceed five per cent. Cin. G'az. SJM.BCTTTCOSREO(MRS —Farmers wiil remem ber thut for two or three years past .a great deal nf corn curnc up badly. La-t spring, es pecially, much of it " rotted'' in the ground.— The loss from this cause is hundreds of thou sands the last season. On our own ground (with some fourteen acres)the. loss was next to nothing. The same i true of some otiiers we could name. What is the reason of the diffi r- Clire ? Why does the -ecd in one be id grow, find in another rot ? That is just what we wish to get at. One grertt cause of the rotting of seed i.- flißt it was never well ripened. Another rea son is thnt it is bhdly dried. Poorly ripened and badly dried seed is very easily injured by fermentation, and a very little fermentation and moulding will destroy vitality Last au tumn we had the best, largest and ripest ears carefully selected, and braided together by the busks in tresses, and hung in a dry p.!ace.— This was planted, and notwithstanding the drenching rain and mud, all came up—not a missing hill or stalk—and the field is noted as one of the best in the country. The same has been the experience of some others. Those who made no selection and took no care of their seed, have had " very bad luck." An other field was planted with King Phillip corn, not trussed ; but. as this ripens so early and perfectly, this operation apjienrs not necessary. It came np as evenly as the other. Let farmers select their best ami rijtest ears, end either truss and hang them up, or place them, in the ear, where they will dry tho roughly, (unless it be some very early.quiekly ripening sorts,) and there will lie better suc cess and better luek with the corn crop.— Cfaintry Gentleman. SKTTIK'; On NBW ORCHARDS —There is no greater truth than this—it is the interest of every one who has a farm or plantation with out an orchard, to plant one—it adds to the comforts of home, enhances the value of th place, and if properly managed after being planted, may result in being H great source of profit. The ground inteuded for an orchard, should neither be subjected to being flooded in time-. of heavy rains, nor naturally wet in times of drought. If not naturally dry, it should be un der-drained. It should be plowed deeply bv drench-plowing, to at least 20 inches iu depth, besides which it should be liberally manured with nutritive manures, ashes, and bone dust, sad top-dressed with lime ; as pot ash, phos phate of lime, and lime greatly abound in both ♦ho apple tree, arid its fruit. These may natu rally exist in the soil, bnt if they do not, they •hould he Artificially applied. The following are laid down the essential reqnisitc for successfully transplanting orchard trees : " A previous preparation of a rich deep b*d of mellow earth to receive the roots, and land that cannot be water soaked. " Removing the tree with as little mutila tion of the roots as practicable. " Pairing of the bruised parts. " Shortening in the head, in a greater nr less degree, to correspond with the necessary loss of roots. " Immersing the roots in the mud. "Settling the earth with water " Planting no deeper than before, that is as they stood in the nursery. " iStaking or embanking to prevent injuryby the wind. " Watering the stems and branches only, be-' fare the appearance of the leaf. " Mnkilling, where danger of mid summer drought is feared." - * RVASON'S- WHY FARMKHSARB HKAI.THIRR THAN PROFESSIONAL MEN. —These reasons are : 1. They work more, and develop all the lead ing muscles of the body. 2. They take their exrrcise in open air, and thus breathe a greater amount of oxygen. | 3. Their foo l and drinks are commonly less adulterated, and far more simple. 4. They do not overwork their brain as : much as professional men da 5. They take their sleep, commonly, during the hours of darkutss, and do not try to turn day into night. 6. They are not, commonly, so ambition" ami do not wear themselves out so rapidly in ; the fierce contest of rivalry; 6. Tiieir pleasures arc not simple and less exhaustiug. 6fay* A New Jersey farmer hits ofl some folk? handsomely. He says : " People say the farmers are the most inde pendent class ; and pray why should we not be ? We have to work hard enough for what : we get. The reason why farmers don't fail | along with tiie rest is, because we live within our means. I own a good funa and if I was i to live as people do in the cities it would take five fanns to keep tue and my t'uuiily."
