    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."
