./ THE FARMER'S DEPARTMENT. • From the American Farmer. Culture of laullitu Corn. DRESDEN, Ohio, June . 1, 1831. Mr. Smith.—lndian Corn being -an im portant production of.our soil, andv,tensive: lrgrown by our farmers, it is desirable that . . irl attain the "MAC of cultivating it, at the same time the most easy and most productive. "To contribute something to this ends shallmake some ohseg,af t yeas on the best mode of cultivating this grain, and point out some errors into which I conceive many of our-farmers have fallen, with regard to it. To ascertain the proper mode of cul . titre for any plant it is necessary to examine into its nature and qualities, and the kind of soil to which it is' best adapted, .and we should •proceed accordingly. A The want of proper attention to this rulelhas produced much wild theory and bad practice in agri culture. The Corn plant requires a loose alluvial soil to bring it to its greatest per fection, we should therefore in preparing ground for its reception render it as light and mellow as possible, ploughing as deep as, the nature of the soil will admit; harrow ing the ing the ground previous to lanting is advan tageous in hard cloddy so , but is not gen e necessary. The wed should be de in liiiio - ws struck as deep as the iltrOUnd is ploughe , d lightly covered 'with loose earth, i too much earth is thrown upon it there is anger of its rotting in cold wet weather, which sometimes succeeds the season of planting. By this mode of plant ing the plants are more .firmly fixed in earth, the roots striking deep - draw. a great er supply of nourishment to support theiii,_ they are likewise more secure from drought which often proves very destructive to-.the Corn crop, the stalks will not generally grow as_tall as those which are planted su perficially, hilt arc 'thicker and stronger and produce larger ears. The best process of cultivation is, that which will preserve a level surface, and most effectually destroy the weeds. This is most effectually done by drawing a large harrow over the rows, (the depthnf the furrows will preserve the plants from injury,) the weeds should be carefully removed, and the furrows filled up around the - plants as they become large e nough to bear it. If this operation is well done, (and much' of the success of the crop depends upon_ its being so,) one ploughing will be sufficient; in doing this the earth should be thrown to the corn, hut care should be taken not to ridge it, which is very inju rious, as it carries off tho rain from the corn which 4equires a plentiful supply of mois ture, especially when earing. Many farmers pursue a quite different course, just skimming the'surface, and plant ing their seed almost es the top of the ground; the consequence is that the roots, unable to penetrate the hard earth beneath, afford but little sustenance to the plants which run up ' 1 spindling, and being often seen by examin ing the outer rows of corn where the ground could not- be well ploughed. What seems to have led to this practice"Th the cultiva tion of new ground where it could not he ploughed deep, the Strength - ot the soil pro= duces abundantly with'any kind of culture. The superficial farmer continues eikimming the surface until it becomes exhausted, when supposing the land worn out he abandons it to wiser cultivators. Another error which some practice is so absurd as almost to carry:. with it its own - niiiifiitlition;=this IS to plough - so deep -as to cut. and mangle the roots of corn with the . idea of making it "/produce better. This causes what is.called ?red corn, that is, the blades wither and die before it is fully ripe. ' 'Though I conceive the above observations to be supported by reason, they are' some. what the result of experience, the best proof of theory. I once planted in the same field with some who ploughed shallow, while my part was broken up beam deep and furrow ed with/ gli one after the other in the rrow, the consequence was that I ad a better crop than they, with much less labor, and I am convinced that every simi : lar trial would produce a similar result.' . : • - ;•A - WESTERN FARMER. AN INFALLIBLE — CURE FOR THE YELLOW WATER IN HORSES. 'Pitt up the horse in a dry stable in the evening, give him no grain, and but a. very Small portion of hay and fodder; next mon. • ning dissolve three common 'fable spoonfulls well heaped of green copperas in a bottle of warm water, drench him therewith. In the Afternoon give him hallo gallon of strong spicewood tea, a little warm to drink ; the above doses repeat three days successively, still giving him but a very small portion of rough food. The fourth morning,. take one pint of fresh sheep dung, and as much hog's lard, Stew them well together, prbss out the fitt,.and drench the horse therewith; give him his food and drink as heretofore. If the weather be clear, let him out in a dry lot in the day, then give him hay or fodder more, liberally, and enlarge his quantity of drink, make it weaker, minding to keep him up' at righter, and out. of the wet foraeveral days; After which, begip to' feed him a little with /oatis, and if he has been ,bad,he careful not to beathim fer several weeks.

The constantly increasing patronage bestowed on the Casket has enabled the publisher to m a ke consideralde . iniproventents in the work. Its ty pogrnphical appearance is much changed for tho better, and the contents are touch enriched. no believes that the volume now proposed will not bo exceeded in respect to typographienl,execution, the quantify and quality,efthe engravings, and tho value of the contents, by any other periodical; and he safely asserts it to be LllO theapest puelication or the kind in the country.
