, FIELD CORN
Every man 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 5s
foat variety, with 8-inch ears, and
8-rowed; the kernels usually yellow
as gold, and hard as flint. He plants
it in rows, 3 feet apart, and in hills
20 to 24 inches apart in tho rows.—
It n.ay he planted in June, and cut
np in I*o days. To the Connecticnt
Valley and New York farmers, field
corn is larger, coarrer, taller, of lar*
ger cars, of more various colors and
'jualities—planted in hills 3 to 3J
feet apart, usually in May and har
vested in September, allowing 110 to
120 or more days for it to mature
enough to bo cut up. As we go
West and South, the size of the plant
and the length of season require for
its development and perfection in
crease ; 4 and 5 feet apart is no un-.
Usual distances to find the hills, an.l
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 meal
iness, and in shape resemble a gourd
Beed, or horse's tooth. The varie
ties of corn are alniont infinite, (if we
may use the expression), and yet it
is remarkable that the plant is eve
rywhere governed by the same rules
of culture, and instructions good for
Maine will apply in Louisiana.
Corn needs a deep and rich soil,or
especial manuring, and the ground
must be dry and warm. The culture
should be thorough previous pulver
ization, with the dissemination of
manure throughout the soil,-by plow
ing and harrowing, unless, indeed,
the corn be planted on a goo I sward
turned under, in which case manurs
ing with ft good compost, stable ma
nure, or some concentrated fertilizer
in the hill is desirable on soils which
need manuring to ensure a good crop.
After planting, the culture should
consist in keeping tho weeda down,
and tho surface free and open, for
the action of the air and the absorp
tion of dew and other inoisturo.
The stalks should not crowd
ed that they cannot mature well;
and,if the culture be thorough,farm
mers generally err in putting tho
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 4£ feet,
according to the variety—this dis>.
tauce being a little less than half the
hight of the stalks, on an aVerage.>
Nover allow more than 4 stalks on a
hill. If all the culture is to be done
by horse-power, it pays to sacrifice a
little of the land to convenience,and
put the corn in hills equally distant,
and in true rows, running both ways.
Early Planting of Corn—Preparation
In the Northern States, May is of
ten a cold, wet, rainy month, and
corn planted oarly, cither does, not
come up at all, or it drags out a poor,
yellowish, dwindling life, until the
warm weaher|of June,while the farm
er has to wage a steady battle with the
Weede 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 harrowings, so that
perhaps, two or three'erops of weeds,
will start up and be killed
20th or 25th,at which time we prefer
to putin the main crop. An early
maturing kind is best, and this can
not be too much insisted on both at
the East and West; and we prefer
not togo far out of the neighborhood
for it, if we have not enough of such
seed as«wo want of our own raising.
Take perfect cars with small cobs,
and well filled out. Use only the
perfect keronel. If the ear is per
fect and thoroughly ripe, all the ker
nels may be used; but if the ear is
misshappen and the kernels at the
tip not so ripe and hard as tho rest,
plant only from the middle of the car
Soak the corn 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 slaked
lime. Plant within twelve hours,cov
ering only about half an inch deep.
Manuring Corn in the Hill.
When mannre is scarce and the
greatest effect is demanded the first
season, or when corn is on 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 in the hill for corn. If one
has a fine compost, say of swamp
muck and manure, containing J of
the latter, after marking out, a good
shovelful may be distributed to three
or four hills, and the corn dropped
directly upon it. If, however, the
compost is mado up of ashes, super
phosphate, guano, poudrctte, etc,,
singly or mingled, it must be mixed
witnjsoil and covered with a little
earth besides, or tho seed may be
killed by coming in contact with it.
Such active fertelizers, and the 'ist
is large, must always be used with
care, not to have the seed injured.—
Yet they arc needed close at hand,
for the encouragement of the young
plant as soon us it starts. Super
phosphate, ashes, gypsum, swla-salts
peter, etc., may be applied upon the
hill after the corn is up, or, at least,
after planting, with quite ae good
effect as if putin the hill.
