<The farmer's gkpavtment. How to Raise One Hundred Bughels of Shelled Corn to the Acre. The Country Gentleman says if the following directions are faithfully car ried out, and tho work is done in the proper season, there is no reason why ,ve may not raise, on the average, me hundred bushels of shelled corn jier acre : First, procure the best seed and keep it so by constantly selecting the finest ears from the best stalks. If a small variety, it must be planted thick er than for a large one—that is the •lumber of stalks on an acre must cor eespond with the character of the va riety. We have known many instan ces where a small early sort has been rejected as worthless, because it was planted too thin—and on the other hand, some large sorts have succeed ed imperfectly by being planted too densely. Second, the soil. It is premised that this is sufficiently drained to be come warmed early in the season and to admit of free and friable working. We will suppose that it is a pasture. Spread broadcast during the autumn all the coarse and other manure that can bo obtained, enough to give it some thirty or forty loads per acre ; j but, if sufficient cannot be had, com-: plete the amount by drawing out and j spreading during winter fresh manure from the stable as fast as it accumu- ' lates. The rains and melting snows which occur by the approach of warm weather the following spring w ill dis- j solve the best parts of the manure | and carry them down along the grass j roots, depositing them in the soil in : a more complete degree of intermix- \ ture with its particles than could ev er be accomplished by the use of the finest harrow. Third. In the spring, a short time before planting, invert the so I to a moderate depth, and pulverize its up per surface by means of a " Shares harrow," which prevents the soil ; from being torn up, at the same t'nie j that the mellowing process is twice as deep as with the common harrow, j Before using this harrow, unless the i soil has already been made very rich, i spread over the surface of the invert-; ed sod about ten loads per acre of j short or old manure or compost. The j harrow will work it well in. an l it will j not only accelerate the growth of the | young plants, but tend to keep the j top soil mellow and prevent crusting. ! Drop a handful of fine manure in each hill at planting. Fourth, plant the corn. If p 1 anted , in drills, (every thing else being well j done,) the crop w ill be one-third to one-fourth greater than if planted | in hills forming each way, because j the stalks will be more evenly dis- j tributed, which always contributes to the largest crop. A good drill ; corn-planter will do this work rapid ly, and so straight that the cultiva- j tor may be run very close to the rows ; j and if the land has been kept clean, ' but little hand-lioeing will be neces sary. Next to drills, the practice of planting in hills close in the row jv.ll be found best; and lastly, planting 1 in hills forming rows both ways, al- j though the latter will not yield so j much corn, yet the saving of labor : which it will effect on land infested i with weeds, may more than counter- j balance the increase amount of crop obtained from drills ; but, in order j that the stalks may bo as evenly dis- I tributed as possible, the hills should be as near together as practicable to allow the cultivator to pass, and | leaving fewer stalks in a hill. If for example, the distance each way is on- 1 ly three feet apart, four stalks may be enough for small fiorthern corn, and two stalks for gourd seed or dent corn. It is always best to plant plen- j ty of seed, an:l thin out regularly ' when necessary. A few years' prac- j tice "will enable any good farmer to j judgo tho nearest distances that may ' be allowed, to admit every ear to till well. Fifth. Now comes a most impor-1 tant part, namely, the cultivation. | Keep the horse-hoe passing be- j twecn the rows every week, from the time that the corn is fairly above the surface until it becomes so large as to close up the rows. Actual expe-, rience has shown that this constant mellowing and breaking of the crust adds several bushels per acre to the j crop.— Genesee Farmer. Top-Dressing Grass Lands. It is the practice of many farmers j to top-dress their grass lands with ; composted manure as soon as they ! conveniently can after getting off the hay crop. It is a good practice. The manure protects the roots a little from the rays of the sun, and the first shower washes some of its nutritious properties into the soiliand about the roots of the grass, so that they are stimulated to throw out new sets of leaves, which afford astill further pro tection, both to plants and the ma nure. The surface is also sufficiently hard in summer to allow the teams to pass over it without cutting ruts, or being poached by the feet of the ani mals drawing the load. We refer to this matter at this par ticular time in order to suggest to .those who liave grass lands newly laid down —that is, that have been mowed only one or two years—not to postpone the application of some sort of dressing, if they desire to contin ue cutting a remunerative crop for several years The mistake made by most farmers is in postponing the top- j dressing too long. If clover is allow ed to seed, and it is thon cut, the roots die and there can be no further crop from them. If the clover is cut while in blossom, there will be a sec ond crop the same year, and perhaps two crops the succeeding year, if the land is rich, lied *op and herds grass will continue longer than clo ver, but the roots of both these grad ually die out, or yield to stronger grasses, until the whole crop is chang ed from the sweet and nutritious grasses just named, to the wiry "June grass," weeds, or sbroe other plants of little value. All this comes from not top-dressing in season. If this were done, even though but slightly, after the first crop is cut, and after wards each year, the roots of the grasses sowed would be kept in a vigorous condition, and our mowing fields would not " run out'' as they do now. Under such a practice, moist and naturally good lands would yield a tun or a tun and a half of hay per acre for eight or ten years in success ion with more certanity than they now yield two thirds that amount. A neglect of this important item of farm work brings a train of losses that should be avoided. In the first place, the farmer, feeling that he can not afford to plow so often, allows the j field to remain in grass for several I years, when he gets but a scanty j crop, not half, perhaps, what the land is capable of producing under skillful ! cultivation. The next expense incur -1 red is that of plowing and preparing I the soil, anil the cost of seed to stock lit again. These are all expensive, ! and if their frequency could be less j ened one-half or one-third, the sav j ing would amount to a handsome sum ;in a twenty years' practice.— Xew England Farmer. Ripening Fruits. In a recent number of the Gar j Jen en' Chronicle , the Rev. M. J. Berkeley well remarks that it is curi ous how little has been done by phys i iologists with respect to the changes I which take place in fruit, after it has j arrived at that degree of maturity 1 when it either t-operntes naturally , from the stalk, or when it has arrived j at such a statue as makes it necessary j for the horticulturist to secure his | eroj). The changes which take place I in growing fruit have been to some | extent investigated, but the changes i which take place after the fruit is | gathered are enveloped in obscurity, j M. Caliours has shown that ripe ap- j I pies absorb oxygen and give out car- i bonic acid, and the higher the tern-' ! pcrature of the room the more car-; | bonic acid is envolved. lie further l shows that "in fruit like Services and j Medlars, where the process of blet j ting takes place, and without which the fruit is not eatable, it is only af ter vitality has ceased that the requi site chemical changes for economical ! purpose takes place, changes which are sometimes promoted, or at least ! attempted to be promoted, by sprink ling the fruit with some fermented liq uor. ' Air then enters the cells and acts first ■ 112 all upon the sugar, caus i ing alcoholic fermentation of alcohol, j which is in its turn acted upon by the acids of the fruit, thus forming a j ! true ether, which produces the aroma iof the fruit. The air then attacks the cell itself, which becomes colored | yellow by the azotised membrances j I of which it is formed.' " It would be a great boon to horti- j culturists if some good chemist and physiologist would turn his attention to this matter. We know of no sub ject connected with pomology on i which we stand so greatly in need of definite and reliable information. Shall Apple Orchards be Cultivated ? This question has been raised by jan experiended horticulturist, who j contends that they should not, while the mass of opinion is decidedly the | other way. The Philadelphia Cul | turitt Ins the following remarks ou j the subject: "We have known orchards to bear ; ; fruit well, which for many years were ! permitted to lie in grass, but eventu ally they gave out, and ceased to be j productive. On the other hand, we know of orchards which for thirty I years have been cultivated as regu larly as other portions of the farm, j and the results have been the contin ued health of the trees, and unless ■ destroyed by frost, a regular average ia- nual yield. "The stirring of the ; soil appeared to impart new energy to the trees. They not only presen ted a healthy and vigorous appear ance, but yielded handsome returns yearly. The crops, it is true, may i not have been as luxuriant as on those | parts of the farm not so much sha- I dod, but every bushel of oats, corn, potatoes or turnips might properly be set down as so much clear gain. It is well to remember that deep plow ing in an orchard is'not advisable. A I good evidence of the of cultiva tion is shown by the fact that when trees run to wood, and yield little or no fruit, the luxuriant growth of the wood can be r"adily checked, and j fruitfulness promoted by putting the I orchard in grass for a couple of years. If, at the cud of that period, shallow plowing is resorted to, the beneficial j effects will be apparent to the most casual observer." Dew is an invisible vapor, which, ; chilled by the cool surfaces of the flow ers, bursts iuto tears over the beauty that j must fade.

So at last I went into a and one bowed and said : " It's- one of the unfortunate sufferers by the bustin" of tho Franklin. Upon that he a-ked me to drink with him, and as I put the tumbler to my mouth, he stopped me of a sudden with, " I beg yonr pardon, stranger, but, " But what?" says I. " Jist fix yer mouth that way agin," sez he. I done it just as 1 was gwine to drink, and I'll be hanged if I didn't think they would all go into fits. They jelled and whooped like a gang of wolves. Finally one of them sea : II Don't make fun of a poor unfortu nate: he's hardly got over bciu' blowed up yet. Lets us make up a puss." They ail throwed in and made up five dollars. As the spokesman handed me tho change, he axed me: " Where did you find yourself after the 'splosion ?" " In a flat boat," sez T. '• Ilow fur from the Franklin?" he in quired. " Why," sez I, " 1 never seed, but as nigh as I can guess, about three hundred and seventy five miles." You'd oughter seen that gang scatter.

Tni: NEW YORK TRIBUNE, first issued April 10, 18tl, has to-day a larger aggregate circulation than any other new spaper published in America, or (we believe) In the world. Compelled a year since to increase the price of its several issue", or submit to the pecuniary ruin of Its proprietors from the very magnitude of its circulation, it lias probably since part- 1 with some patrons to whom it* remarkable cheapness was a controlling recommenda tion: but others have taken their idace, and it has now more than Two Hundred Thousand subscribers and regu lar purchasers—an'excess of at least Fifty Thousand over those of any rival. And this unprecedented currency it has achieved by very liberal expenditures in procuring early and authentic intelUgencc, by the fetoless expres sion • 112 convictions, by the free cmpioyimtnt ofahility and industry wherever it might contribute to excellence in anj depart inept of our enterprise, and by ufishrlnking fi.hlitv to the dictates < 112 Justice, Humanity, aud Fie.- doin. By vory large outlays for early and authentic advices by telegraph and otherwise from its own correspondents with the vat ions armies of the Union, and by special ef forts to furnish such information respecting Markets, Crops, new discoveries or improvements in Agriculture, Ac,, as must specially interest farmers,we have a-sldlously tailored to UlUKOa,journal calculated lo meet the wants and subserve the interests of the producing t l i-ses< — Thst end wo have at hist measurably attain- I: for no other newspaper exists in America < r l-iim i whi- his habit nail v read bv nearly so tunny farmers and their fam ilies a< is THE Trim NK io-day. \\. sluiUlaborto increase both the number and the satisfaction of this by far the most numerous class of its patrons.

When new i- Mies di*soh«l or transformed old organi sations through the spontaneous uprising of the people of the Free States against the repudiation of tin* ML-s,mrl 11 Cfiriction", The Tribune heartiiy participated iu that movement. and was known as Republican. When the I,.ug smoldering conspiracy to divide and destroy our Slave Power culminated In overt treas n aud rebellion, it naturally. jiec<-<»arily regarded resistance to this •»»- 'piracy p iann nnt t>- all other considerations, and de \ itod all its energies and efforts In the maintenance of our Unfon. In e\ery groat controversy which h-i* divided our country, it has been found on that side which natu rally commands the sympathy and support of the large majority of school-houses and the decided minority of grog-shops. and so doubtless will be to to the last.
