HOW TO FLOW CORN GROUND. We commend to our readers a practice which we have followed with great satis faction in plowing corn ground, whether it was sod or stubble, namely : by what is J called " back-furrowing " —commencing in the middle of the field, turning the furrows toward, thus plowing the entire field "gee ing round." Find the middle of a field with a measuring pole or tape and set a stake. Then turn a ridge of two furrows in a straight line from each corner of the field to the stake. These ridges will enable a plowman to do his work well at the turn ing points. The advantages of plowing in this manner are, there will be no dead fur rows in the field. A row of corn, if plan ted in a dead furrow will not amount to much, except for fodder. When a field is plowed in lands, the soil will not be tho roughly broken up beneath the ridges.— When a field is plowed by going around the outside and finishing in the middle, there will be a dead furrow from each cor ner to the middle of it. The team, more over, must turn on the plowed ground, which treads down a wide strip from the corners to the middle of the field. But when a field is plowed by beginning in the middle, the entire team, whether double or single, always turns on the unplowed ground, and it is easier for the plowman to turn out and set in his plow at the cor ners, than when he turns the furrow out ward. By plowing in this way,the surface will be kept level, and the work performed in a more workmanlike manner. In order to have every side of the field finish alike, measure each side from the plowed ground to the outside of the field every day. Then the furrows may be varied in width,or omit ted on one side, while the plowed plot is small. Aim always to keep the furrow slices of a uniform width. BROOM CORN. There are two kinds of broom corn,dwarf and tall Both kinds are good, but no well conducted experiments within our knowl edge have proved which is superior. Many think that the dwarf is most profitable ; while others prefer the tall. If proper care be taken to secure good seed, there will be but little difference in the amount and qual ity of the brush. There is much bad man agement in planting half-ripened seed,which produces weak and slender brush fit only for small brooms. Of course, all such brush will lessen the value of the crop ; and if the common careless practice of sav ing seed be pursued from year to year, an increasing proportion of the brush will be inferior. Good brush is kng, thick and uniform. The way to secure good seed is to tie a colored string to those long straight panicles that begin to ripen first. The seed of these should be kept separate ; and be fore planting run it through a fanning mill that all the small, light seed may be blotvn out. By adopting this practice for a few years, seed may be obtained that will ma ture earlier, and thus probably escape early frosts ; and the brush will be prevailingly thick, heavy, and nearly two feet in length. The soil for Broom corn should be pre pared just as for a crop of Indian corn. As the plant is very slender, the seed should not be placed too deep ; the soil should be very mellow, and the seed put in freshly stirred soil. The best time for planting is immediately after Indian corn, or as soon as the ground has become thoroughly warmed and trees are in full leaf. If it be planted too early, it will be a long time coming up, and weeds and grass will get the start of it. Barn-yard manure ought to be applied a year beforehand, as much rank manure tends to make a coarse brush. The seed may be planted in shallow drills, or in hills. If the soil be foul, it is usual to plant in hills, so that the horse-hoe may be worked both ways, to save hand hoeing. But if the soil be free from weeds, much more broom corn will be produced if plan ted in drills. In hills,six stalks are enough, as they will yield better brush than a larger .number. If in drills, the stalks may lie four, five, or six inches apart. When the dwarf broom corn is planted,the drills may be about two feet, six inches apart. But for the tall kind, they should be not less than three feet, or three and a half feet apart. Let it receive the same -level— eu tivation as is given to Indian corn. WARBLES IN NEAT CATTLE. Several subscribers to the Agriculturist have inquired as to the cause of, and man ner of treating this affection, which is com mon to neat cattle. When we pass the hand along the back of some cows,bullocks, oxen, and, in some instances, yearlings, we feel numerous little bunches upon the back. This is called "the warbles," and cattle in the best condition are no more exempt from it than those that .are very poor. The word "warbles" is applied also to hard lumps which form in the skin under the saddle of horses. A correspondent, who has been familiar with the warbles for thirty years, and says he has never known neat cattle to experience any serious harm from them, writes ; "No doubt every observing farmer has noticed that, during the months of July and August in our latitude, neat cattle are much annoyed by the stings of a large, dark-colored fly, called the (Jad Fly ( (Eetrus Boris), which will often light on the backs of cattle, and put the whole herd on a gal lop ; and sometimes they will drop on the backs of oxen and horses, while at work, and, in a moment of time, render them as unmanagable as if they had disturbed a hornet's nest. This Gad Fly punctures the skin of the animal—fat animals are better than lean ones —and deposits an egg,which produces a maggot that continues to grow for nearly a year in the flesh of the animal, when it emerges through the skin and falls t'• the ground, secretes itself beneath some protection, and, in a few days, commences its attacks on the cattle. During the months of April, May, and June, in our latitude, these bunches on the Lacks of cattle will continue to enlarge,un til the black head of a large grub will have worked its way through the skin of the an imal's back. In this condition tliey will live and develope themselves for several weeks, with their black beads just protru ding through the skin. I have seen hun dreds of them on the back of a single ani mal : and I have seen leather that was made of the skin of an animal that was afflicted with the warbles, that appeared like perforated tin. My opinion always has been, that such maggots—to say noth ing of the great annoyance by the severe bites of the flies are quite as injurious as lice. My practice always was to kill every Gad Fly, if possible, as soon as 1 would a snake Then, the backs of my cattle were carded frequently, and as soon as a mag got's head appeared through the skin it was drawn out with a pair of tweezers. In warm weather, when cattle were not han dled much, we would thrust a needle into the heads of the maggots, before they had worked through the skin. Gad Flies are usually not very numerous ; therefore if a little pains be taken to kdl every one, and if the maggots are all destroyed before they leave the cattle, they will not be a source of serious inconvenience to them ! In case maggots are removed in wet and i cold weather, the animals should be pro tected from cold storms, because it might ; prove injurious, if much rain were to fall before the deep holes close, from which grubs had been withdrawn. .S. E. T. FABMEBS' GARDENS. Perhaps one reason why farmers' gar den# are so neglected, is this : they think ; they must be laid off into formal beds or departments, and kept up with a great deal , of system and care. They imagine they require much time and skill in sowing and planting, in weeding and training. Now, of course, much time may be profitably spent in the garden, if one's taste and de sires so incline him, but this is not neces sary for raising a large quantity of good vegetables. Let us see what can be done in an easy way : If the plot needs manur ing, no farmer will object to giving it.— Plowing it needs of course, deep plowing, and then harrowing. All this can be done in the spring, when the team and hands are doing the same kind of work in the field. As for planting : a part of this can be done early 'before similar work will be gin on the farm. For example : take the driest end of the garden and plant it with early peas, and early potatoes. In some warm corner, prepare a bed for a little let tuce. This is the first job, and it can all be done up in some odd half-day early in April. After the farm work has proceeded a few days, give the garden an hour,to put in some early sw >et corn and potatoes.— Plant in drills about 3 feet apart. The farm work may now take another jog of a week or thereabouts, when the garden will need a day's work, to finish up the major part of the planting. Mark off the land in drills about three and a half feet apart,and plant more corn and potatoes. Put in a second crop of peas. A lew beds will be needed for beets, onions and such roots.— Arrange these to occupy ab >ut the width of two drill, so that the cultivator, as it goes among the rows of corn and potatoes, may pass along the alleys of these beds. Cu cumbers, squashes, etc., will require patch es by themselves, but the larger part of the ground can be so planned as to be tilled by the horse-cultivator, which will save much time and labor. Such a garden will yield greater returns than any correspon ding part of the farm, and be productive of health and comfort for the family. SELECTING SEED CORN. " When seed corn has not been saved in autumn," writes an experienced person, " it should be selected from the crib with much care. Choose the long ears, with large ker nels and small cob. Let every ear be bro ken in two before shelling. If the pith and cob be right, the seed will vegetate ; but if they appear to have been water-soaked and are dark-colored and somewhat muddy, the vitality of the germs have been injured, if not entirely destroyed. Then with an ax cut off an inch of the top end of the ears se lected, and all the irregular kernels at the large end. They can be cut off quicker than shelled otT. The small kernels on the tip, and irregular ones on the but of the ear will not produce as much, nor handsome grain as those that grow in the middle of the cob. By continuing to plant the small kernels of the little end of ears, for a few years in succession, the ears will be shor ter, and the kernels smaller ; and the irreg ular kernals of the but end will produce ears destitute of kernels in rows. The wri ter once planted irregular kerne's for a few successive years, and the product was short, the kernals of irregular form, not in rows, on large cobs. When seed corn is obtained from another part of the country, it will us ually ripen earlier when carried south of the locality where it grew. A few miles, however, would make no preemptible differ ence. The practice of some farmers in Cen tral New York is, to obtain seed that grew near the shores of lakes and rivers, which had ripened ten to fourteen days before that grown on the upland. By this means their corn is usually fit to cut up a few days sooner than it would have been, if they had planted their own seed, and will often es cape early frost." PREPARATION OF WHEAT FOR SOWING. Adjust the fanning-mill to give a light shake, and heavy blast, and put in the screen-board to carry the grain outward, to drop within three or four inches of the end of the coarse screen, which will allow all the small kernels and seeds of various weeds to fall into the screen box. The wheat sieve should be set in the slanting gains, for car rying off the oats and other foreign matters. Most of the light wheat will also be blown over the screen, and the largest ker nels will run down through the mill to the floor Ihe grain that is blown over, as well as that which goes into the screen-box, will make good Hour, but is not good for seed. If the oats bo not all blown out of the seed, at first a wheat sieve of perfora ted zinc, or pressed wire cloth, must be put in the slanting gains, the screen-board re moved, and the seed run through again, with light shake, and slow feed. The holes of the periorated zinc, or meshes of wire cloth, should be just large enough to allow the wheat to pass through. Then, if the shoe of the mill be adjusted to shake the level, the remaining kernels of heavy oats will slide over the holes, and fall beyond the sieves. By this means, all the half-ripe and shrunken kernels, not fit for seed, will he separated from the large ones, which will produce earlier and Letter grain. These directions are applicable only to those farm ers who have nothing but an ordinary fan ning'mill. In some of the grain-separators, with only once running through, nearly every kernel of oats will pass over the screen, while the wheat will be neatly as sorted and dropped into four different box es, the largest kernels, most suitable for seed, being deposited in the first box, and the smallest in the fourth box. Before sow ing, prepare a strong brine. Haifa barrel will l>e needed to pickle as little as 4 or 5 bushels of grain, but of course, would an swer for much more, and to this quantity add half a pound of blue vitriol (sulphate of ropjwr). A portion is done at a time, stir ring it well, and skimmingoffall that floats, dirt, foul stuff, smutty grains, etc. As fast as fast as each portion is soaked, throw it out into a basket to drain. The pickling should be done 4 to 12 hours before sowing, •lust previous to sowing, the grain should be spread out upon a clean floor and rolled in lime slacked to a dry powder, stirring the heap witli rakes. Wheat should always be drilled in where this is practicable. I HAT was a good joke on a young and gallant Hnosier officer, who, on receiving a note from a lady "requesting the plea sure of his company " at a party to be giv en at her house, on the evening designated took his volunteers and uiarched thein to the young lady's residence. When it was explained to him that it was himself alone who had been invited, be said : "By golly the letter said company, and I thought the lady wanted to see all my boys."
