Field Corn. Every mau has a definite notion of what field corn is—yet how different are these ideas. To the Canadian or Maine reader it means a little 5-I'oot variety, with 8-inch ears, and 8-rowed ; the kernels usually yel low as gold, and hard as flint. He plants it in rows, 3 feet apart, and in hills 20 to 24 inches apart in the rows. It may be planted in June, and cut up in 90 days. To the Connecticut Valley and New York far mers, field corn is larger, coarser, taller, of larger ears, of more various colors and qualities—planted in hills 3 to 31 feet apart usually in May.and harvested in September, allowing 110 to 120 or more days for it to mature enough to be cut up. As we go West and South, the size of the plant and the length of season required for its devel opment and perfection increase ; 4 and 5 feet apart is no unusual distances to find the hiils, and the ears, instead of being 8- rowed and 12 to 14 inches long, as in the Middle and Eastern States, are short, thick, and 12 to 20 rowed, while the kernels lose the flinty character, in a measure, and gain a certain mealiness, and in shape resemble gourd seed or horse's tooth. The varieties of corn are almost infinite, (if we may use the expression), and yet it is remarkable that the plant is everywhere governed by the same rules of culture, and instructions good for Maine will apply in Louisiana. Corn needs a deep and rich soil, or es pecial manuring, and the ground must be dry and warm. The culture should be tho rough previous pulverization, with the dis semination of manure throughout the soil, by plowing and harrowing, unless, indeed, the corn be planted on a good sward, turn ed under, in which case manuring with a good compost, stable manure, or some con centrated fertilizer in the hill is desirable on soils which need manuring to ensure a good crop. After planting, the culture should consist in keepiug the weeds down, and the surface free and opou.for the action ' of the air and the absorption of dew and other moisture. The stalks should not be so crowded that ■ they cannot mature well ; and, if the cul ture be thorough, farmers generally err in putting the drills too far apart and letting too many stalks stand in each hill. It is much more economical of space to plant in drills ; the stalks a foot apart,and the drills 30 inches to feet, according to the vari ety—this distance being a little less than half the Light of the stalks, on an average. Never allow more than 4 stalks to a ill.— If all the culture is to be done by horsepow er, it pays to sacrifice a little of the land to convenience,and put the corn in hills equal ly distant, and in true rows, running both ways. Early Planting of Corn—Preparation. In the Northern States, May is often a cold, wet, rainy month, and corn planted early, either does not come up at all, or it drags out a poor, yellowish, dwindling life, until the warm weather of June, while the farmer has to wage a steady battle with the weeds in order to see his corn rows at all. This is often the case at least, and we very much prefer to do other work in the early part of the month,meanwhile keeping the ground open by occasional harrowinge, so that perhaps,two or three crops of weeds will start up and be killed before the 20th or 25th, at which time we prefer to put in the main crop. An early maturing kind is best, and this cannot be too much insisted on both at the East and West ; and we pre ferjnot to go far out of thefneighborhood for it, if we have not enough of such seed as we want of our own raising. Take perfect ears with small cobs, and well filled out. Use only the perfect ker nels. If the ear is perfect and thoroughly ripe, all the kernels may be used ; but if the ear is mishappen and the kernels at the tip not so ripe and hard as the rest, plant only from the middle of the ear. Soak the corn ten or twelve hours, then change the water, adding that which is as hot as one can bear his hand in. To this add a little pine tar, and stir the whole until the corn is all thinly coated with tar. Pour off the water and roll the corn in slaken lime.— Plant within twelve hours, covering only about half an inch deep. Grass Land, How to Improve It. If you ask this question of many farmers, the only reply will be, break up and sod down afresh. Others will hesitate before giving this uniform answer. They will in sist on looking at the land first, or at least will wish to know what is the matter with the present grass crop In some parts of the field mossy or boggs ? or does it grow certain coarse grass which indicate undue moisture at the bottom ? If so, their eyes will be opened, and they will reply, in med ical language, that "underdrainiug is indi cated." Nothing does the land need so much as this ; nothing will do it material good, until this is first attended to. Plow ing and manuring will be nearly all use less, so long as the land is clogged with surface water, If this is not the trouble, they will eu quire whether foul weeds have got posses sion, to the exclusion of wholesome gras ses. If not, but the trouble is simply an impoverishment of the surface by long crop ping, they will advise to scarify the sward in the fall with a heavy harrow, tearing up the moss,and disturbing the soil a little, so that it will receive fresh seed. Then they will sow from 10 to 15 quarts per acre of clear timothy and Red Top in equal parts, and cover the same with a light harrow. We should have said, too, they will apply a good coat of old manure, before the seed sowing. In this way repeating the ma nuring once in two years, many a meadow or pasture can be brought up to a high state of productiveness If, however, the land is infested with white daisy, dock, or thistle, the only way will be to break it up thoroughly, cultivate it five years with crops and grain, and finally seed down again. Manuring should go along with this cultivation, of course. When seeding down, be not sparing of seed, but use half a bushel of Timothy and the same of Red Top. If red Clover is desired, it should not generally be sowed until in the spring, as it is apt to winter kill. If our farmer is a progressive man, perhaps he will enquire whether the grass crop eouhl not be im proved by irrigation. We believe that much is to be realized from this practice during the next generation. Manuring Corn in the Hill. When manure is scarce and the greatest effect is demanded the first season, or when corn is on a good sod, and a little start is wanted at first, or when the land is rather cold and the season uncertain, it is best to manure ih the hill for corn. If one has a fine compost, say of swamp muck and ma nuie, containing J of the latter, after mar king out, a good shovelful may be distri buted to three or four hills, and the corn dropped directly upon it. If, however the compost is made up of ashes, superphos phate, guano, poudrette, etc.,singly 0 r min gled, it must be mixed with soil and cover- Ed with a little qarth besides, or the seed may be killed by coming in contact with it. Such active fertilizer*-, and the list is large, must always be used with care,not to have the seed injured. Yet they are needed close at hand,for the encouragement of the young plant as soon as it starts. Superphosphate, ashes, gypsum, soda saltpeter, etc., may be applied upon the hill after the corn is up, or, at least, after planting, with quite as good effect as if put in the hill. The list of concentrated manures which may be made on the farm, or bought, is quite large, and if any person visit s the manufactories of various kinds in his vicin ity he will often be able tosecure much that is of value to himself, and do the shoema ker, soap boiler, brewer, tanner, butcher,or glue boiler, a favor also. Broom Corn Culture •The culture of broom corn is usually con ducted with profit, and attended by no greater difficulties, if so great, as that of maize. The remarks made in other articles in this number, with reference to the prepa tion of the soil for Indian corn, manuring, etc., are equally applicable to this crop. With regard to seed, it is a question we cannot decide as to which is best, the tall or the dwarf variety. The testimony indi cates that when the very best dwarf seed can be obtained, the crop is superior to the tall, (easier to handle and the brush finer and quite as elastic aud valuable.) Yet there are many persons who have been greatly disappointed in changing from the tall to the dwarf kind. Land which is very grassy should be avoided, for almost any weeds are prefer able to grass, with this crop ; and locali ties visited early by the frosts of autumn are most undesirable, as the earliest varie ties are not secure from injury by frost, even in favorable localities. After plow ing,harrow and bush the ground smooth, or roll it. Plant with a seed drill in rows three feet apart, dropping the seeds on an average two inches apart, depositing some fertilizer in the drill with tho seed. Sup erphosphate mingled with an equal quan tity of gypsum, at the rate of SOU pounds to the acre, has done well. A good drill will sow both seed and fertilizer. May 20th i to the Ist of June is a good time to plant broom corn in this latitude, for it will not grow much until the weather is hot. Cover very lightly. Just after what is called j "corn-planting time" is a safe rule, though in our practice we are inclined to delay this, so that it would be a little late for the broom corn. Cold, wet weather and frosts are more injurious to broom corn than to maize. After it is up a liberal surface dressing of ashes upon the hills or rows is often an excellent application. A SINGLE WORM KILLED THAT TREE.—Du ring my sojourn in a place of resort for in valids I was one day walking through the romantic grounds and park with some friends, when the proprietor of the estab lishment drew our attention to a large syc amore tree decayed to the core. "That fine tree," said lie, "was killed by a single worm." In answer to our inquiries,we found that about two years previously the tree was as healthy as any in the park, when a wood worm about three inches long was observed to be forcing its way under the bark of the • trunk. It caught the eye of a naturalist who was staying at the establishment, and he remarked : "Let the worm alone, doctor, aud it will j kill the tree." This seemed very improbable, but it was agreed that the black headed worm should not be disturbed After a time it was found that the worm had tunnelled its way a considerable dis tance under the bark The next summer the leaves of the tree j dropped very early, and in the succeeding year it wjis a dead, rotten thing, and the hole made by the worm might be seen in j the very heart of the once noble trunk. GAPS IN CHICKENS —There is no doubt but 1 the gaps comes from little worms, the lar va; of some fly or other insect, which are ; found in considerable numbers in the throats | of the chickens and cause their death.— i These flies or insects no doubt abound about ! fowl houses and yards, so that keeping the I chickens in places where fowls do not fre ! quent, and where they have not before been i kept, goes far toward protecting them from the evil. A correspondent writes as follows : | "About a year ago, I communicated to the j Agriculturist a certain mode of treating ! chickens,to prevent gaps. Since that time I have seen various modes stated to cure the ailment. Now, Mr. Editor, I insist up | on it that an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. There is no need of having gaps at all. Last year I raised | nearly one hundred chichens, and had not a j sign of gaps among them. My method is ; as follows : "When the chickens are in condition to take from the nest, 1 put them with a hen in a coop with a board bottom,so as to keep | the young ones from the cold and damp j ground. They are fed with Indian meal on j which boiled water has been poured from the tea-kettle, well-stirred and allowed to cool. I believe the whole secret is to keep the chickens dry and warm when quite young, and give them cooked food."— Am. ■ Agriculturist. APPLY MANURE ABUNDANTLY.—A full sup | ply of manure is perhaps the most impor tant requisite for comfort and satisfaction, at this season of the year. With plenty of manure,the farmer seems to have command iof the situation, so to speak. He can do what he wants. Manure will give him crops that will make the heart rejoice to look at. But don't try to make it go too far. Bet ter manure one lot thoroughly than half manure the whole farm. Not that we would treat one lot to a bountiful supply "to the neglect of other parts of the farm.— Make your calculation to distribute it as i judiciously as possible, allotting to each \ piece all that it n eds.not only to carry the crop but to manure the land aud prepare it I as soon as possible to lay down in a proper ! manner and, do not attempt to lay down a piece that is not in a suitable condition.— It will only have to come up again all the sooner. — Massachusetts Plowman.

D., would re spectfully inform the inhabitants of Bradford County that he is permanantly located in Waverly, N.Y., where he has been in the practice of his profession for the past four years. He would say that from his long and suc cessful practice of 25 years duration, he is familiar with all the different styles of work done in any and all Den tal establishments in city or country, ami is better pre pared than any other Dental operator in the vicinity to do work the best adapted to the many and different cases that present themselves oftentimes to the Dentist, as he understands the art ol making his own artificial teeth, and has facilities for doing the same. To those requiring under sets of teeth he would call attention to his new kind of work which consists ol porcelain for both plate and teeth, and forming a continuous gum. It is more durable, more natnrai in appearance, and much better adapted to the gnm than any other kind of work. Those in need of the same are invited to call and exam ine specimens. Teeth filled to last for years and often t mes for life. Chloroform, ether, and "Nitrous oxide'' administered with perfect safety, as over four hundred ! patients within the last four years can testify. I f will be in Towanda from the 15th to 30th of every month, at the office ot W. K. TAYLOR, (formerly oc-, copied by Dr. O. H. Woodruff.)
