LOWER COUNTRY. From the American Agriculturist. THlE CORN CROP. Indian corn wvill soon be among our largest exports; anything, therefore, which mlay tend to cheapen its production, and tacilitate getting it either to a home or for ein arket, wtill be adding so muich to the we~alhh of the country. At present prices, alil acknowledgo it to be a very profitable enrop to the WVestern farmer, whien proper attenfion is bestowved upon the cnlture; we can shbw it to be equally so in New York, and even sterile New England. No farmer should think'of planting corn onm land that is not in a condition to yield hun ait least thirty buishetls to the acre, and lilly bushele wvould be still more profitable. If his land cannot produce this, Ihe had be'tter cumltivate It in some other crop till it cant. If, it yields forty to fifty bushels puer acre, tunder an' ordinry rotation, the sitalks in the Northern States wvill paynalI expe'nses of cultivation, leaving thme t-orn a cletar profit, after deducting the interest of the nioney oun the land. In this case we a4Ssum-e' that time stalks are cut tip close to the grounod, with the corn on-then-proper. ii' etired:-;and that they are prepared by the cutting machine before feeding themr ot to the stock. Many sound, p~ractical farmer5, coten~id that, ctured andi preparedi in thls way, a good quality of corn stalks i/iis valuable for eutle fodder as ha.y.
