Scare Crows. ! have tried for years in succession nil of the nostrums to prevent birds from pulling, worms from eating, and steeps of various kinds to stimulate its growth, and timl that tarring tin seed makes it distasteful to birds : they will pull and eat but a little ; but as to worms eat ing it, they seem to relish it equally well. The steeps to stimulate growth, rolling gypsum,&e M amount to but little. Sou cannot make enough adhere to the seed to make any percep tible difference, and unless the soil and season favor, the corn -sill not come so well as il plan- j ted dry. For instance, if you steep the seed, i and after planting it is very wet and cold, it will not grow as well, or if it is very dry.it will not come as well : tarring it will retard its, germination in auj case. For the last five years I have planted the seed dry, recently handsbclled from the cob. For scare crows, the bes:' I know of is a few 1 crows shot and hung up in different parts of the field by one leg, or bait and catch them in steel traps. In my younger days, for years these scarecrows were ample to keep of birds. Every Yankee farmer should have a good gun and ammunition, and know how to use it.— Find all the crows nests in your immediate neighborhood, break up their nests, seize their young, and theu is the time to shoot some of the old ones. I once secured sixteen in two hours. Go over your cornfield daily, and il the crows have drawn any, bo there the next morning by three o'clock with your artillery or the crows will be there before you, and sa lute the first corner with cold lead from your early morning gun, and if you do not succeed in baggiug him, he and his neighoors will come to the conclusion that they had better let the man's corn alone. Another way of keeping crows from your cornfield is bv twining.— String wool twine from stake to stake once in fifteen rows, directly over the row. You can cultivate the first time, and let it remain. Do the twining immediately ufter planting, and it would be rare to have a crow light 011 the field while the twine remains. Crows grow bold by the cry of their young for food, and by man being slack and easy ; in stinct teaches them whose corn it will do to pull. The fields for which crows have so strong a taste, are generally shallow and half-plowed, less than haif manured, bordered around by bushes, briers, and weeds, and enclosed by a mere apology for a fence. Years ago one of your jieure men had a field with one of these ugly borders which always have a great tenden cy to widen ; at hoeing, none wanted to hoe the outside row ; the altercation between the boys would finally be settled by the old man, " Let the devil take the outside row," aud in a few years he had the whole field. Should the above mentioned scarecrows fail to keep to crows from pulling the corn, soak other corn in rum or whiskey and strychnine, aud scatter broadcast ou the field. They, like the humans, will like the taste, but as certain as the}' eat of it they die. You will, in most of the liquor on sale, find enough strychnine, without adding more, to do the work for the crows. 11. W. LESTER, Rutland, "N't. — Coun try Gentleman. TESTING SEED CORN. —There is so much damaged corn this year, that much care wi 1 1 be requisite in selecting such as is suitable. I have seen in your paper and elsewhere, seve ral modes suggested for testing its germinat ing qualities, but tlu-y are inefficient, imprac ticable, or attended with too much 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 ▼cssel of such dimensions as are required for the quantity to be tested. Pour water over it of the temperature of milk from the row, until it is fairly covered, adding to the water from time to time, if the absorption and swel ling of the corn should raise it above the stir face. Set it in a moderately warm place and let it remain 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, until it sprouts. This will take place in thirty-six hours, usual ly. if the corn is good. I prepare all iny com for planting in this manner, though 1 know the seed to be good. I plant sometimes with the sprout half an inch long. The result is that it brings the plant forward a week or more earlier than planting dry This advantage in the fall is sometimes very important. The damaged corn from my field last year did not exceed five per cent.— Cincinnati Gazelle. SEED CORN. —Now is the time to try seed corn and know for certain that it will grow be fore planting time comes. The following is a test which I have proved as sure. Remove with a knife the covering from the chit, if alive it will presenta bright and healthy appearance, if dead it looks as though it had been boiled. Corn was very late in maturing last fall in this vicinity. The farmers gathered in the usual season ; the cob was not dry, consequently there is but little sound corn in the country.— D.W.A.Paw Paw, Michigan, 1838. — Rural Xetc Yorker. PLANTING POTATOES. —They say abroad that the secret of getting potatoes ripe in August, that will keep all winter, is " to set them well sprouted. There is uo occasion to put them in early. The month of August is the critical time for the winter potatoe. But by sprouting the tidier before setting, you obtain nearly a month's advantage, so that when the disease does come, the plant is iu a stronger state than it would otherwise be, and is hereby enabled to repeal the attack." The author who thus writes in the Royal • Agricultural Society's Journal, is the Rev. K. F. Manly, and there may be sometliiug in his remarks. — Hurt. CABBAGE. —The cultivation of cabbage for stock feeding lias how become quite common in many sections of our country That the cabbage is valuable for this purpose there can be little doubt. The specific quantity of its actual alimentary matter is, however, very in considerable: vet, when fed in connection with other vegetables of a more solid and nutritive quality, and which although they greatly ex ceed it in this respect, are yet inferior to it in volume aud bulk, it subserves a very important and valuable purpose in the economy of ali mentation, and aids materially by the stimu lus of distention which il produces.
