To the Editor of the American Agriailiurist : When I was a boy, and first wont ni'o the field to hoe corn, I was quite puzzled to know, what mv father meant, when he directed us to be sure utid " hoc where the corn wasn't." Bnt after following him a few days, and notic ing the pairs he took to have all the ground between the hills well stirred, ns well as the weeds cut up, and particularly when 1 saw how careful he was, not to disturb the ground deep ly very near the young plants, I understood his meaning. In a long acquaintance with corn I have observed enough to make me think he was right. The weeds must be cut uproot and branch to have good corn, that's certain, and the ground must be kept loose enough to let. the heat get in, and the mo ; sture pass up from below, and to allow the spreading roots to make their way easily through the soil in their search for good picking. 15ut I've seen a good many slash away with the hoc close around the stalk, when every cut there, if two inches below the surface, must have brokiu qnite a number of the growing roots. It cer tainly can not be of much tuc to feed corn well if you then go to work and cut off its mouths, for the root are months to the plant. So 1 ulways cultivate lightly where the roots have extended, which is about tiie length that the stalk has reached above the ground, and when the corn is up breast high, I wouldn't let a man go through the field with a plow, if he'd pay Wages for doing if and find himself. Ido not believe i i hilling corn ; making the ft Id look iike a crop of young flag-staffs" planted on small pinnacles. The stalk has grown up into the air where it was intended to stay,and it isn't natural to partially bury it alive. People do it, to prop it up, so that the wind will not level it. Hut if it be let alone, it will do its own propping, by sending fortli extra roots just above the surface, which go out and anchor it all around. I have seen a field that was hilled, laid flat by a storm, while the next one to it, that grew naturally, stood up afier the blow, as straight ns a militia captain on training day. When corn is hilled, it will try to send out a second growth of supporting roots, bnt neither the first nor the second growth will then become strong enough to be of much use. I therefore try to leave my ground nearly level, and tint? also save the roots the trouble of diving down again, to get boiow the gullies which arc some times left after tiie first plowing. JONATHAN-. LOOK OUT FOR THE INSECTS. —Owing to the decrease of birds, and perhaps to other causes insects are new alarmingly on the increase.— Their mischief is usually discovered too late to do more than p-cvent the possibility of their multiplying, by picking up and feeding out, or cooking the punctured fruit, and thus destroy ing the worm lodged in the heart. This is a tedious operation however, and hardly practica ble with peaches, plums and cherries. Tue parents of all these mischievous worms arc winged insects, which flutter about among the trees, and lay their eggs either upon the surface of the tender fruit, or puncture it and deposit the eggs beneath the skin. Again most of these winged insects, or millers, are either ua turally •nighl jlyers, or can be brought out by a strong light. Now, every one has observed that millers arc so attracted by light as to fly directly into the flame of a candle. It is well to take advantage of this weakness, and kindle low fires about the orchard and fruit gardens In the evening, and thus catch the trespassers. The early part of June is the proper season to commence this war of extermination, which, if vigorously entered into by a neighborhood, would destroy vast quantities of them in the very act of providing for their progeny.— Remember, too, that with every parent moth, from fifty to one hundred little white maggots are destroyed. Follow this practice up night after night, for two weeks, and an immense number of insects will be cut oft*. Tie old rags upon short sticks, and dip them first into tar, aud then in saw dust or powdered charcoal, until of a large size. These will burn with a bright light for a long time, dazzling and at tracting the unlucky moths or millers from some distance around. NOT TOO LATE TO I'I.AVT CORN —The pros pect of belter prices for farm produce should iryul every one to get in all the crops possible the present year. It is by no means too late to plant corn during the first week in June Some good farmers purposely delay their prin cipal corn planting until the last of May or the first of June. Their experience has taught them that, as a general rule, corn planted June Ist is as forward by the end of July, as that planted May 10th. They say, that when planted late, the ground is warm and quickly germinates the seed, and starts it at once into vigorous growth, and that it will soon overtake and go ahead of the early planted. Tliev also argue that one hoeing is saved by the late working ol the soil previous to planting, as a large number of weeds which have started, arc then killed. This year it is safe to act upon this theory, where there is a spare plot that may be u s ed. The quick growing varieties, like the King Philip, are most desirable for late planting, and for filling up vacant spots in that already above ground. Of course, it will not do to mix in the different varieties where pure seed is to be gathered. WASH FOR FRUIT TREES. —We would remind our readers again of the soda w ash for fruit trees, which we have so often recommended. This is the time of year for the application Heat sal soda to redness so as to drive out the water of crystalization and carbonic acid : then dissolve the caustic soda in water at the rate of one pound to the gallon, and apply it when cold to the trunks and larger branches of fruit trees. It will destroy cocoons and ova of in insects, mosses of all kinds, decompose dead bark, and present a fine glossy surface not likely to be attacked by insects. Unlike potash it does not destroy any living portion of the plant, while it decomposes the dead portion more readily.— Working Fanner. ASHES FOR POTATOES. — Itufus Brown, of Chelsea, Orange county, Vt., says that in an experiment tried by liitn, the grain in a crop of potatoes by use of ashes, at the rute of a teacupfull to the hill, was about a bushel and a half of potatoes for each bushel of ashes used. The kind of potatoes was the " English pink-eye." and yield 200 bushels per acre.— The ground was planted May 7, with the ashes in holes, and a little dirt over them, It was plowed and hoed June IS, the rows being four feet apart and the hills three feet. The ashes cost 12 1-2 eeats a bushel, and potatoes sol I at ft. 1 "* cents, returning full 50 cents a lushel for the a*hes employed. ryi PORTERS DREG STOKE IS FULL I DR.
