The following remedy we believe once eforo appsarad in our columns, but knowing Its j iluc we repeat it. . j Put your corn in warm water and let it stand ! t least 12 hours; then pour otf the water and : id more, of blood heat or a litllo warmer; j our in tar, at the rate of one pint to tho bus cl j fcorn Stir well to make the tar mis fully i ^ ith the water and corn, then pour off the* i . ater aud mi: 'n dry sand to prevent the grains j ^ om adhering. Unless the corn is so ked till swells itVill not vegetate, because tho coit of: tr prevents the moisture in the soil from pone j aling. It must be planted before the grain / lr nks. | ' We have known this remedy to be used with j 1 nfailing success for tho hst 25 years. j 1 Cotton and Silk Culture.?Acording to the j 1 stimatc of Mr. Chauncey Stone of Curling- j * jn, N. J. based upon his own experience (See 1 < is letter in this paper of March 13) the num- ; 1 er of worms necessary to make 100 lb. of j ' ?eled silk require to be attended during tho '' rst week by one hand; during the second j reek, by one hand and a boy or girl; and { fterwards by only one aditional hand, provi.. , ed the morns multicaulis bo the tree from ' i '!? <* 1? ?Ha lpavPR fr> fped the worms are ' ' athcred. The worms prefered in this couti- 1 ry, uaually cease to cat and commence pinning at the age of from 30 to 42 da)s ccording to the weather; so that the aver, j ge time consumed by the above number of, j ands, when the worms live longest, is five , ceks. Tho 100 lb, of silk made by them in j I lis time will command at present prices from j i 1500 to ?600 ; which to say the least, is a? I luch as the same hands, with the addition of j * horse, can make at cotton planting in South ' r larolina , whilst the cotton crop occupies ; J lem from 10 to 12 months, or doable as' lany months as the silk docs weeks. If Mr. Stone s estimate is correct, and we ' hall soon see that it is r.ot too high, the ] be culture of silk is manifestly much prefer- j b!e to that of cotton, even sunpos ng that : % nly one set, or generation, of worms could be ? eared in a season. But it is now ascerf.ined a bat with tho triffling expense of'a small ice- J ouse, which will cost less than a gin house, be silkworm eggs may be kept throughout , ic summer, and be brought cut to hatch at ny time when wanted ; and the young morus j iu!ticaulis trees have this advantage over I ther varieties of the mulberry, that they : i ontinuo to grow till frost, affording through-! ut the season, an abundant supply of tender;' >liage, which the young vrorms always need- j lands engaged in the silk culture may then, ^ i this climate, fl.id constant employment in ceding the worms during five months of the '' ear; say from the first or middle of April, j. 11 the first or middle of October. In that | me, four successive generations or sets of[( rorrns may be reared, and their cocoons be | athered by the same hands. According to J lese premises, two hands and a boy can ! j lake 400 lb. of reeled silk in a singie season, j hich will command from 82,000 to 32.400.1 'his is two o r three times as much as can ; e realiz -d from the same hands even on the i est Alabama cotton plantations. If there is ny errorinthe estimate, it is in the number j ' t f crops of silk which may be made, or trie j umber of generations of worms which may J ? e reared, in one season. But let this be j ^ tated at only two instead of four, and the j c o; may be estimated as a half a hand, and ; ^ le annua, income will still be from 8400 to I $ 3 3500 to the hand, which is more than the c icoTie from cotton planting in Alabama.?- j s lestdes: Alabama cotton iands cost 820 per c ere, whilst land suitable for silk culture may c had in North cr Srvrth Carolina at from 81 j 84. A cotton crop requires 7 acres to the ', andv not counting tiie l ines planted for pro- J isions; loss thai one acre to the hand is ufficient for a silk crop. Cotton impov-. iishes J ic soil; mulberry trees enrich it. A cotton < rop requires half as many horses as hands; * silk crop not more than one horse to the < ozen hands. A cotton crop leaves no time 14 ?r nnv 'utjte1 ?'! : < > l,/\c the ' 1 - ?mm ii .n..mmm i i i ??rmmm year for improving the provision lands and grass lards, and atten ing to live stock.? Women and children, who do little on a cot. ton plantation, may be profitably employed in the silk culture. lTp lands suit the silk culture best; river lands may therefore be planted altogether in corn, which is less liable to be destroyed by freshets than co'ton. Drought and storms do not lessen the silk crop; while they often do, and to a great extent, the cotton crop Cotton plan ing requires incessant laber from January to Christmas; the silk culture admits of repose fo? half the year. A perseverance in cotton planting has for years been rapidly impoverishing the Carolinas and l m 1 driving ort their wealth and enterprise; the siik culture would as rapidly enrich them.? The contrast might be greatly extended, but we have perhaps said enough. It maybe asked, If the silk culture possesses so many and so great advantages why were they not iong since kn -.wn 1 The reply is that these advantages depend chiefly upon the morus muiticauhs, a tree which was not know n in this country until withm the list few pears. Tnc better it rs now known, the higher it rises in cs'imation. Irs very superiority over >!her varities of the mulberry, at present re .ards th* extension of the silk culture in this :ountry ; for hardly any one now thinks of plantingany other tree for that purpose, and profitable as it renders the siik culture, tho demand f >r it is, on that very account, so great Lli.it it is still more profitable to propagate the tree ror sale. How long this shall continnc to be th i case no one can now tell. It must be nil the supply snail bear something like an rqual proportion to the demand ; that is, till Giecrgia ard Tennesse, with the twenty states lorthof them and their immense population, low stimulated more and more, yearly, with a !?'s:re io engage in this the most profitable ol igricultur r nnp'oy nents, shall c supplied.? i mu au. uui iry propcruc:, nowever, )f this remarkable tree,? ne seems to be, accor* ling to experiments made by onreclvis and >thcrs last season that stripping the leave?, f properly done, rather advance than retards ,he growth of the wood. It further e.xperi-. >nce shou.'d fully prove this to be the c-.se, tr.c aropag.ation of the tree for sale need not in .erfere, in as much as it has hitherto done, with :he extension of the silk culture. We said above that Mr. Cuauncey Stone's tstiinate of the quantity of silk which a given amount of labor will produce is not too high, [t is more than confirmed by a detailed statenent n<nv before us of the actual amount of abor employed in making 9*28 lb. of cocoons jvhich would afford at least $3 lb. of reeled >i.k. The statement is contained in an cx:ell nt artic.e by Am^ns Carrier of Rodez n France, and transited for the "Farmer's Register;" in the last No. of which we find t, an J extract the following jort on.
