' ' How to Raise Indian Oorn. "Now let the good old crop adorn The fields our lathers trod ; And let us for the yellow corn, Send up our thanks to God." —Barlow. How to raise a big crop of Indian corn is a question that is asked with no little sol icitude, by large numbers of good larmers, especially at this season of the year. Al though a* large crop cannot be grown on poor, impoverished, wet and half-tilled ground, still by observing the following suggestions, those farmers who have been accustomed to raise unsatisfactory crops of this kind of grain in years past, may man age to obtain a bountiful crop. In order to raise Indian corn cheaply, and at the same make the soil produce to its full capacity, the ground must be properly prepared, at the right season, and all the labor connect ed with the cultivation of the crop,must be performed at the right time, and in a far mer-like mauner. PREPARATION OF THE SOIL. If the soil be naturally wet, it must be relieved of the superabundance of mois ture, or it will be vain to attempt to grow a remunerating crop of this kind of grain. Better not plow a furrow till the first day of June, than to work such land while it is excessively wet. Let the first work be to underdrain such land. Employ a few extra workmen, and make one or two hundred rods of underdrain, before plowing the ground. If you can get the ground drain ed and the seed put in by the 10th or 15th of June, by planting the improved King Philip, or early Canada variety, you will have a good crop, unless there should be a frost unusually early,next fall. We would urge once more the absolute importance of underdraining. The increased amount of grain will defray the entire expense in one season. We have tried the experiment,and know whereof we affirm. The Indian corn plant is a gross feeder, for which reason, ground will bear to be manured heavily when the kind of grain is planted. If noxious weeds of any kind oc cupy the ground, defer plowing, until the soil has become warm, and vegetation is pushing forward with great rapidity. Then plow and plant as soon as practicable. If the subsoil be heavy, do not plow the sur face soil too deep, nor so deep as to bring up any of the unfertile and cold subsoil to the surface. Let the best, richest and mel lowest earth be kept at the surface. If tfye ground be in sod, plow with lapped furrow slices, not more than five or six inches deep, and let a subsoil plow follow in the furrow of the plow that turns the surface soil. MARKING OCT THE GROUND. The proper distance apart for the rows and making them straight, are the most im portant considerations in marking out corn ground. If the rows be straight, so that the cultivator or horse hoe can be worked close to the hills, almost all the labor of dressing and weeding, can be performed with horses ; whereas,if the rows be crook ed. a portion of the hills will be rooted up, while many of them will stand so far from the place where the horse-hoe passed, that a great deal of labor with hand-hoes will be required, to keep down the weeds and grass. Labor is too expensive,at the pres ent time, to employ men to hoe corn by hand. By plowing the ground late,we save one hoeing of the plants ; and by making the lows straight, horse-hoes will perform all the hoeing so well, that one person,with a hand-hoe,will be able to keep up with the cultivator. The kind of corn planted should deter mine the distance apart for the rows. The King Philip, early Canada, and other small kinds, had better be about two feet and nine inches apart each way. If in drills, three feet apart,and one kernel every eight inches,will yield a larger crop of grain than to plant four kernels in a hill. PREPARATION OF SEED. If there are no apprehensions that birds, or other animals, will pull the corn after it has been planted, it will be better to plant the seed dry. But as crows, blackbirds, doves, squirrels, mice, and gallinaceous fowls, will pull corn, the grain must be tarred, which is an infallible remedy. Be fore tarring, steep the grain about twelve hours in warm water. It is highly inju rious to seed corn to soak it over twelve hours. The object of soaking it, is to fill the kernels with moisture before applying the tar, which will exclude the moisture necessary to insure germination if applied to the dry seed. APPLICATION OF FERTILIZERS. Almost every farmer can collect from the dove cote, hennery, goose pens and duck coops, several barrels of the choicest kind of fertilizing matter,equal almost to guano. Let it be run through a threshing machine to pulverize it, or beat it with flails ; then sprinkle a haudfull around every hill, or where the plants are to grow, spreading the manure thinly over an area of eighteen inches in diameter. Guano, or other ma nure, should be applied in the same man ner. If such manure be thrown down in a pile, as it frequently is, only a few roots are fed, while most of the roots suffer for want of nourishment. By spreading it over a larger surface, there will be no danger that the strong manure will injure the grow ing plants. If such manure is applied af ter planting, it should be covered lightly to prevent the wind blowing it away If such concentrated manure cannot be applied at the time of planting, it may be spread around each hill, after the corn liafs come up, just before it is dressed out with culti vators and hoes. By this means, the ferti lising matter will be all covered with earth, and the roots of the corn will be well fed. Manuring bountifully, with clean cultiva tion, will insure an abundant crop. The Best Time to Out Grass. There has been a diversity of practice among farmers as to the best time to cut grass for hay. At the recent New York State I air the subject was discussed at a meeting of agriculturists held in the eve ning. The Oennexsee Farmer gives the fol lowing report of the discussion : Mr. J. Stanton Gould opened the discus sion. He took decided ground against al lowing grass to get dead ripe before it was ! i ut. Professor A\ ay s experiments showed ■ that grasß cut just as the plants were going ! out ol flower,contained forty per cent, more ' nutriment than when dead ripe. Was sat- ] isfied from his own experience that it was better to cut grass early. Timothy allow ed to get ripe was no better than rye straw. 1 e seeds of hay do not digest in the stom ach. Cows dry up when fed on ripe hay. "In regard to making hay, he remarked that the object was to secure as much of the nutriment of the grass as possible. We could not secure the whole. There was a losH in curing and from fermentation, etc.— Jhe best way was to allow the grass to wilt as rapidly as possible, by exposing it to the air and sunshine. Four hours of good sunshine and it is r< ady to cock It should not be exposed to de w while spread out It washes out the nutriment "Mr. San AM oe, of Columbia county }.. graa* in ti-e looming t.Ji JJ o'clock' After 'ltt.sj.t thai i uc i <-*.< aod v/.i up the ' hay. It was necessary,in the valley of the Hudson, to commence to cock early on ac ~ count of the dew. Allows the hay to stand in the cock one daj. Next day open and draw in. "In regard to the time of cutting hay, to be fed out on the farm, there conld be but one opinion. It should be cut early Bar ley straw is better than over ripe timothy. s But for market it was necessary to let it got ripe. It sells better. "Mr. Brewer, of Tompkins, raised consid erable clover seed, and consequently cut 1 his clover hay early. Thought there was a loss in weight, but gain in quality.— > Draws it in rather green Has poles on the * bottom of his bay, so that there is a circu lation ; puts the hay in loose aud it cures nicely. If it is very greer sometimes mix ' es a little straw with it iu stacking." Timo -3 thy meadows mowed early and the rowan > allowed to rot on tho ground will improve 1 greatly. "Mr. Van Alstine, in reply to a question, said he puts four pounds of salt to a ton of hay when cut green. Thought a crop of grass that would make a ton of hay if al lowed to get ripe, would give only fifteen 3 hundred weight if cut green. If allowed " to get over-ripe it would begin to lose J weight agaiu. "Dr. Gill of Ponghkeepsie, cuts clover f very early, and cocks it in an hour in small 3 cocks ; draws iu next day. Hay cocked J green is not hurt by a shower as much as 1 hay cocked dry. * "Several gentlemen spoke ; all in favor 3 of cutting grass early. "Solon Robinson, of New York, was ask -1 ed why it was that ripe hay was preferred I in the city. He said that the President of 1 the Third Avenue Railroad Company, had 1 studied this subject carefully,and had made experiments with different foods, and had f finally concluded that the best and most I economical daily ration for the horse was 3 sixteen pounds of corn meal and fourteen 1 pounds of ripe timothy hay. The hay was chaffed and moisteued with water, and the > meal mixed with it. A little salt was ad -3 ded. 3 "In reply to a question, Mr. Robinson " said that the timothy was so ripe that the 3 seeds would grow. In feeding trotting 3 | horses, the hay is given them uncut. In 1 ! the stables where the experiments were f made to which he alluded, over one thous " and horses were kept. ' "Mr. Curtis, of Tompkins, cut his hay 1 early for cows,and feeds that which he cuts " last to horses. Timothy cut while in bloom ! will give horses the heaves. "Solon Robinson thought that for milch i cows hay should be cut early. But for hor ' ses, one ton of timothy cut when the seed will grow is worth two tons cut green." 1 Destroy the Caterpillars : If dogs are a nuisance, if drunkenness, I small pox, and other kindred scourges, are fit subjects of regulation by legislatures, caterpillars certainly are ! They are a plague of no ordinary character. We be lieve the annual loss in Massachusetts oc j casioued by caterpillars is fifty times as much as that caused by dogs 1 And yet } the fathers ot the commonwealth have nev | er put a line upon the statute book in rela | tiou to them ; have suggested no remedy, . | passed no resolution, interdicted no man from raising and scattering through the , land as many legions as he pleases each ■ coming year ! Horn pouts and pouts and pickerel ! Shad and ale wives ! Robins and woodcocks ! Crows and wild cats,what caii they all do to harm or benefit mankind,com i pared with the wide-sprend destruction | caused by caterpillars. ■! In August when the nests of the vermin I j are old aud filled with their debris, thous- I ands of orchards of New England are ob | jects of disgust and loathing rather than * I one of the most beautiful features of our , J unrivalled landscapes. Tattered nests dan I gle from the branches of the trees filled , with the cast off-skins and exuviae of rnil | lions of worms, and, moistened by rain, are rotting in the atmosphere and shedding their foul contents upon what little fruit is permitted to grow,and poisoning the grass beneath the trees. In assisting in gathering several hund red barrels of apples within a few years, where we had ample opportunity of notic ing their quality, we do not believe that more than one barrel of them in twenty were sound. This mischief, aud great loss, , . | is occasioned by ou,r fruit growers ueglect , ing to destroy caterpillars, of one kind and another, as fast as their nests appear. We speak now of one kind only—of those that have obtained such notoriety that they are , almost exclusively known among us by the name of the caterpillar, and they'are the worst enemies of the orchard. Harris says : Where proper attention had not been paid to the destruction of them they pre vail to such an extent as almost entirely to strip the apple and cherry trees of their fo liage, by their attack continued during the 1 seven weeks of their life in tho caterpillar , form. The trees in those gardens where they have been suffered to breed for a succes- i sion of years become prematurely old, in 1 consequence of the efforts they are obliged , to make to repair, at an unseasonable time, 1 the loss of their foliage, and are rendered unfruitful, and consequently unprofitable. But this is not all ; these pernicious in sects spread in every direction, from the • trees of the careless and indolent to those 1 of their more careful and industrious neigh bors, whose labors are thereby greatly in creased, and have to be followed up year after year, without any prospect of perma nent relief. Ise a pole with a brush, sponge, or rag on the end of it. Dip in a bucket of strong soap suds and poke it into the inidst of the oest, turning it round so as to wet them all, and rub the branches about the nest.— ' Wherever the suds touches it will kill 1 them. i We wish there was a law fixing a pen- ' alty upon any person upon whose premises i a dozen nests could be found in the month 1 of July, and that it was made imperative , upon the selectmen or assessors of every : town to see that the law was enforced* Ev ery farmer knows that the destruction caused by caterpillars is a serious annoy- l ance and evil to the community, and yet 1 j there are some—alas.too many—who takes little or no pains to do their duty in this , | particular. It is a mistake to say that they . have no time to destroy them. They have 1 all the time there is for any of us, and they cannot afford to incur the cost of raising trees and then suffer them to die before their time, through the agency of caterpil lars. This thing ought to be a matter of duty and conscience. Some persons complain of the enroachments of a neighbor's dogs, or cattle, and very justly, too, perhaps, while they allow their apple or wild cherry trees ' to be covered with caterpillars enough de stroy half the orchards in the land. "Con sistency is a jewel." We suggest to such a story about a mote and a beam in the eye.— New England Famur.

To those requiring under sets of teeth he would call attention to his new kind of work which consists ot porcelain lor both plate and teeth, and forming a continuous gum. It is more durable, more naturai in appearance, and much better adapted to the gum than any other kind of work. Those in need of the same are invited to call and exam ine specimens.
