/IL Care of the plant.
tinder the above heads I design to Ulm
trate the subject, theoretically, practically,
and withal, as briefly as possible, aiming
,alwaYsto be understood.
1•• . I. Soil—What are the combined ele
ments and ingredients for the best soil?
~-.I Analyze the plant and its fruit, and we
I shall discover the clearest indication how
e shall find-the best soil. We cannot,
I
' th reason, expect to grow corn from a
1 11 which does not contain - any of the
nienta of the grain.
ple
i I Ist. The corn plant, when matured,
d the thin, delicate shell or hull of the
. e ernel, conta n a very ,laree quantity of
• silica, or flip a substance, melted with
potash in pro r proportions, that makes
the various fo um and varieties of glass;
and the most igorous plants contain it in
the greatest abundance It is the mine'.
1 pal ingrtullen fiat forms the structure or
i woodyku • de .of all plants; it is the
i most unpo t material that gives corn
; Pactnessatolidity and superior value to
the hardest trees —the hickory, rock Ma
t. pie and oak - toughens their rugged
trunks and gives them strength to shake
1 their leant - arms and lift their lofty tops at
i the rushing etorm. A silicious soil, then,
is requisite. This soil is composed of
powdered rock and vegetable and:animal
remains, 811 ex is a very abundant natural
1 prodnch It forms a large part of all
1 granite lor primitive rocks and moan
tains, andis the chief ingredient in all
i earthly formations . It is , the soil which
1 • is spread over the globe's Bur
face, and wherever it is found most finely
k powdered, there we shall: have the most
requisite conditions of silica. •It is
i enough here
ere to say that the experience of
the farmer will teach him to seek, upon
i his farm; for that soil that is most thor
l, onghly powdered, mellowed and mixed,
i
i easiest to till, regarding always what he
i knows of the conditions of natural fertil
ity, and depth of soil into. which he may
i dm - p the' ed with hope of a response to
i his labor in an abundant crop.
l 2d. Th soil must contain fixed alka
. lies, for without their presence , the im
f portant &ken; silica, is worthless. No
i soil can be more sterile than that made of
pure silex, but ive a fixed alkali, and
that hard, unyield g ing substance becomes
at once dissolved,' and passes on to its
mission to form the plant. Common
wood ashes contain these two substances
in abundance. The., wood reduced to
• ' ashes, the heat necessary for that pur
pose dissipates the acids, and leaves the
1 . silica and pot-ash at hand, again, in their
union, to re-enter upon their work to
form their woody' structure. Mixed
1 with the earth and vegetable and animal
i fibre, the mass is dissolved and resolved
; . in nature's laboratory, more completely
I and perfectly than it can be done by the
mostskillful chemical art, to be absorb
ed by the rootlets, carried thence to the
• stalk and fruit to bless the toil of the pa
• tient husbandman.
3d. What further ? Of what is the
• kernel composed ?
lRt, the shell or hull,r-silex almost
wholly; 2d, a hard, almost flint-like sub
'stance, composed principally of carbon.
I‘ . .Bd, the inner or four part—starch. Dif
fused and mixed with these three substan
, • , -ces are gluten, gum and saccharine. These
several substances are drawn principally
- from,the soil, although the gasses of the
atmosphere assist-in the formation of the
plant but lees in that of the kernel. In
; - that soil, therefore,'we must have those
ingredients that will produce those differ
/ cut combined parts of the grain of corn.
j In addition to silica and potash, or a fixed
• alkali, we must call to our aid four gasses
',i viz: 1, carbonic acid gas; 2,,hydrogen; 3, 1
oxygen; 4, nitrogen. The first and second
are principally produced from decaying
and dissolving vegetable and animal mat
ter; the third and fourth almost wholly
-compose the common air we breathe. The
two former are vastly increased in our
soil by agricultural art—the two latter as- -
sist in the work.
It will here be observed that it is urn
possible to separate thetwo auestions.
"What is the best soli?" "What is the
best fertilizer?" One involves the either;
and to answer the question, "What is the
best soil?" we must use a fertilizer that
will evolve or absorb one or all of the
above gases, as nature may chbose in her
-• great work.
3d. Preparation of the soil. Plow
deep—from eight to twelve inches. \ The
. advantages of deep plowing newly broken
.ground will be to give you a loose, soft
soil above the turf, and room and scope
for the harrow and cultiviitor, and for the
roots of the plant. On old ground, plow
-deep, once very late in the fall, as late as
possible before the ground "abets; up."
Do this, and the grub and wire-worm will
-totally disappear. Experience has demon
strated this. Reason: The various worms
are deposited on or near the surface in
tame. They soon descend deep, to be
beyond frost, and only come to the Bur.
face to.. do their harm after they are
warmed to activity by the' sun. Having
descended to their winter quarters,- throw
them up to: the surface . again, expose
them, and , frost shall kill them, and they
:shall do no more harm forever.
Plow it at least once again, in the spring,
—do it 'thoroughly and well,—just at the
lime you .wish to plant. Keep, the soft
clear of weeds. Yon 'cannot Serve two
masters tuft at one and the same time.
_Either to have a good crop of weeds with-
-out.corn, or, what is better, a great and
good crop of ,corn without weeds. Use
-our compost, and all the seeds of weeds
'in the manure .will be . destroyed, ' made
into fertilizing agency, and the great
source of weeds will be dried up.
IL Time of planting.
On this subject, both opinion* • andex
-perienee are conflicting. among farmers.
Sint I think I can readily account for the
cum of this conflict. Are there not spots
:and d es on the farm where grass
,starta matures soonest, by days, even
meek, t Why is this l' Always because
*these spots are h es tche 'Therefore,
be Who hsit the riSoil, or cares kir it
best, can plant his corn the earliest.
„weightier A. Baia he has the best cmp
. planted June Ist; neighbor B. says he
. has the best planted Hay 20. Now both-are . right, and the reason is that A's farm
•is not so rich by 10 per cent. as B's, arid
I will state it as a truth from experience
• that B's corn shall ripen 15 days earlier
than A's, and he will raise 15 to 20 per
cent. a better crop.
A& goon as the ground is properly
•drled *dm the swing rains , the peed
... . , , • ~..
Au*ld gojnr therieber the ground, the
earlier you 'mar plant For the list thirty
'years I have observed, with great atten
tion and interest, that those ,who plant
earliest, on the average, have- the best
yield. In this latitude, an early frost is
more destructive to the corn crop than
early planting, and, as a rule, early plant
ing is the best remedy against an early
frost, and, if there be an exception to the
rule, a soil fertilized as it should be, will
supply the place of the exception; and
then, year by year, early planting, with
a soil and such fertilizers as we have de
scribed, will be a security against all acct.
den s,—all, I say If the proper care is
bestowed in planting and cultivation,
which we will explain presently.
I am of the opinion that the best obser
vation to be made of signs is, "when you
find the soil dry enough and rich enough,
plant," and the farmer who will follow
this rule, and will be, what a farmer must
be to prosper, "up and doing," will find
in the end that he has increased his crop.
Cover the seed, (which should be four
in s hill, well spread, like the teats of a
good cow,) about one and a half inches
deep with the finest earth, without "pat
ting" it, and the plant will find it easy to
"pdsh its way in the world," without be
ing obliged to lift a load of turf, grass,
clods, or , stones, and come forth a sturdy,
healthy, vigoroue shoot.
lIL Cve of theplant.
By the time pl the ants haye three blades
mei* or as soon as you can see them along
the rows the distance of twenty rods, put
the cultivator in deeply both ways. This
lifts and lightens the soil, lets in the
atmosphere, and thereby brings the gases
of the atmosphere in to combine with
your fertilizers. This process should be
repeated three times within as many
weeks, each time using the fingers and
hoe to clear out around the Ow any
weeds or grass that may intrude, and
loosen the soil around the roots. This
method has demonstrated the fact that
drought will be comparatively harmless.
Corn that has become rolled up by the
drought,and remains so through the night,
will unroll and expand by simply stirring
the soil around the roots.
Put no hill around the corn. A hill is
no protection to the corn or roots. If the
soil is plowed deep enough, the roots will
strike deep and broad. Besides a new
quantity of earth brought to the corn
makes it necessary for the plant to send
out another tier of roots after it has been
provided with all it needed, and thereby
retards its maturity. But the chief evil
of a mound-like hill is thht it subjects the
plant to additional exposure to drought,
since a "hill" more readilj , dries through
than the fiat surface, and, certainly, sheds
off from the roots of the plant, as from a
roof, all the needed water that may fall.
Let the cultivator do the most of your
hoing. To hoe one thousand hills used to
be a day's work for a man. Cultivate for
for me both ways and! will take care of
three thousand hills per day, and I will
produce a better crop than you can in the
old "up-hill" way. Every time the soil
is stirred is equal to applying a spoonful
of the best fertilizer to the roots.
As soon as the blossom is shaken,or falls,
the pollen is sifted from the stamens, the
kernel "glazed," you can gather the tops,
said the corn, instead of being injured,
will be benefitted by having the full sun
light fall upon it, ripening it all alike, and
earlier than it could be, were the shade
of the tops not removed. The kernel re
ceives no benefit from the top after the
bloom Ms. Then the full current of the
nutritive fluid sets toward the ear to com
plete the design to produce the corn.
Loosely bind the tops, take them to the
barn, stand them up or hang them and
you, will have a good fodder. After the
cora is ripe, gather when your farm work
will make it most convenient, for good,
sound corn, well ripened. will stand
through all the cold, weather of fall or
winter without detriment.
