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.
CORN PUDDING. —Cheap but good. I quart
|of milk to 4 tablespoonfuls of meal. Boil
I the milk, stir in a little molasses and gin
ger into the meal, and stir the boiling milk
into the meal and let it get perfectly cold
Bake an hour and a half. This is an ex
cellent pudding, but the directions must be
exactly followed.
TIIE JUSTICE'S PUDDING.—2 quarts of bread
cut thin ; 1 quart of milk, poured boiling
on the bread ; let soak an hour or two ;
aud 1 quart of stoned rasins ; 1 teacupful
of syrup. Buil four hours in a box or bag,
and serge with cold sauce
DECISION and promptitude, even though
sometimes a man may err for want of due
deliberation, will in the long run more of
; ten conduce to success than a slow judg
| ment that comes too late.

rp\VENTY-FIVE YEARS EXPERIENCE
JL IN DENTISTRY.—J. S. SMITH, M. 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.) Having made arrange- !
meats with Mr. Taylor, I am prepared to do all work in
the very best stylo, at his office.
