U! OF SUCKERS ON CORN. 11n Mr. Editor:-Ju the last ntumiber of the rn Cabinet, in your article on the " Agricul ur tural Survey" of the coutry about Pedee, you seem to regard the lit. of Suckers onl Corn bearing Ears at their proper places. as lefore unknown to you; and you ask. if it is not one of the peculiarities of the t Corn cultivated by Col. Williams, in pro I ducing suckers hearing ears? I can easily er answer that question by observing. that it is not pecnliar to Col. Williams' species of Y Cort, unless his and mine are the sante. " which I think scarcely probable; and it c has been my settled conviction fron sone le years close 'bservation, that Indian Corn. be when there is a superfluity of strength inl I? the soil tir itse.own wants, will send out suckers, which, if suffered to remain. will Snot, unly do no injury to the parent stalk. d- but wil, inl corn and blades. produce mcore id than the original %talk withont them. That e this is no newly fornied opinion of mine, *, vot canl, by referring to tihe June niuber le of the Siomihern Agricilturist fir 1839, and O in an article on this subjeci. see that I i eaine to the same conclusion from tmy first et year's oh-,ervation. e Corn highly innured, when not plated too ttii-k, will begin to send mit sockers when about frot six inches to kiee iith, and if those early enekers a e sutffred to remain. and if the field is well cultivated. they will grow lf i apidly. detach roots f te their own. thotjnh they adhere still to the V parent stalk ; tassel, shoO, and ripen. it . he same tine ; and if the siacker-s alt pear veryenrly tn the Corn, there is often ,1t some difficulty in discovering which is the s, parent auil ,vbich the iiff-prinig. In d3, I made the fairest experiment that could be. with sckers. It was a (Irv Spring, and a great anyaptpeared onl my e mannttired Corn. it a fiel of thirty five acres. I left eight rows lengthwise through. S tit the field with the sutrkerson ; fin the e rest of the field I had them taken away; . and I was l1illy satified with the result of that trial, that I had never taken them . away from tmy Corn sinee. The quanti ty ol loddler was so much greater ihai up f:o the adjoiiig rows. that there could he I 'tio doubt cof the propriety of leaving stick. ers to produoce a large yield of fodbler. and that nihing wne lost in the produce of grain, the Itllowiing extrtts from m% A gricultural Journ a ofthatyear will how. The Corn was pianited four and a half fei manumred with Cotion sped, stable anld r yanimanure. inl nt-arly eqal proporions, t. ad was cureftillv cul ivated. August 1.5.-I coin'ed nineteen ears e "r Corn uponi ei-ht hills it - -' . field, in ole place ; ipon whirh the suck. h ers had been left. On the sans row nd joining, I citnied sixteen ears, upon eight . uillk. frim which the suckers had-been ta ken away. Inu anotaher place, I counted upon eighi e hills nineteen ears upon the stalks with i suckers, and thirteen ears upon the same row on eight hills upon the stalks withoti. *-it nuother place fifteen ears upion the stalks with stickers, and twelve on those withiut. "1 The fldder on the eight rows through. oit the field must have been treble as much a. upon any other eight ruws in the saie field. -- Noventer 17.-Measured the Corn y taken from thirty-two hills (lor rows of eight hills each) upon which the suckers had been left, atnd thirty two hills adjoiin " ing (fAir rows of eight hills.) from whirhi ' the sickers had been taken away, and the Is result was. as folltws: The sialks with sikers aiinde rixteen quairts aind half-pint of sheleld Corn, and the stalks without sekrstr,4 male even sixteen qtuats." - inth sa. e feld iat ye;r, I remarked a sta!i that hail two suckers. and thiere we*re six guintd sized ears it thte hill-two off the ptarenut s;talk and two on ench durk. er. I shotwedl it to several of my neigh lhons. and they ihonught the prunce not on 0 lv of thut hill, btut tf the whole eight rows iO npon tn hich suckers hiad beeni left, so re 50 mnarkale, that somie of thetm thoughtt it 50 was a peculiarity of mty Corn, as iltey said )O they had nver observed mtore thain the J0 wortbless efforis to pr-oduce a few graine It0 amn! the tassel int their itwn Crn.

EXPERIMENT IN PL4NTING CORN. A few weeks since we published a corn. muuication from a correspondent, givit)g the result of an experiment in planting corn, by H. Massey, Esq. or this village. Mr. Mnsiey called upon us the other day, to correct au important error in said com munclation, and invited us personally to examine said field, which we accordingly did, and now give the results of our obser vation. Mr. Massev took ofthe seed corn with which he plaited the field, a small quan tity. and soaked it in a solution of salt-nii. tre. commonly called sali-petre, and plan ted five rows with the seed thus prepared. The remainder of the field, we believe, was 1heird by the tane individual. Now for the result. The five rows were un touched by the worms, while the remain der of the field suffiered severely by their de predations. We should judge that not one kernel saturated by salt-petre was touched, whle almost every hill in the ad joinin rows suffered severely. No one who will examine the field can doubt the efficary of the preparation. He will be as. tonishel at the striking difference between the five rows and the remainder of the field. Here is a simple fact, which if seasotna bly twl generally known, would save ma nv thouiands of dollars to the farmers df t he country for corn. It is a fact, which should he universally known, and is, in all probbility one of rhe ereatest discoveries of modern time., in the neglected science of agrienhitre. At all event,, the experi ment .boubl be extensively tested, as the results are deemied certain, while the ex pense is comparatively nothing. American Bed Blankets. -The Bostot Trans'ript says, the Rochester hed blan ketoA, fromu the extensive works of the Me ehanies' Matinfacturing Company, Ro chester, Nev Hampshire, excell Any thing of the kind for beauty nnd perfection ever before fulfered in this market. The shade is pure white, the nap thick and soft, well raised on bo'h sides. and are wrought from American wool. This company took the gold medal awarded at tho Mecban ics' Fair in 1839. Interesting to Bachelors.-It is stated in the Charlottesville Jeffersonian that the Legislature of Virginia is literally Hooded with petitions for divorce. One npr iin paiss "a general law, divorcing every cou ple in the State, with leave to such as are diiposed to re-marry." This proposition is certainly "revolutionary and disorgan. izing." Such a law would make fine times for the parsons though. It would also pro vide glorious treatment for the wives. There would he no wonings and prornises of better behavior. Old Colons would be come young swain.; again. moonlight walks, and iender civilities would be all the fashion-in short, snch a law. on some ac rounis woull bejust the thiaig. On others, perhaps. it tnight not answer so well, and that reminds us of an old anecdote. At a time when divorces were to be had of the Kentucky Legislature for the mere asking, some wag procured the passage of a hill to divorce an old couple who had never dreamed of such a thing. The aged worthies were aghast at hearinrg or their separation. and were remitted within the hour fron the titne they heard of it. In 3lassachusene, where it takes a fortnight at the least, to get married, such a case would have been desperate. A Lament.-The editor of the Daily Bulletin, St. Louis. thus laments in his maper of the 31. 'tlt.- We offer as an apology for the lack of our usual quantum 01f editori-d matter-private businsss. Our tafliee h':s btetn thronugetd for several days with tc betmost hideous looking characters, but at the samtte time the poliIest men in the w,,rbi. * Here is a smnll bill-he glad if you would settle it to-day,' says a little heardlless rascnl. * Have you made out suir arcout yet t-Here is your bill-he ulad if you coutld give us the little balance this mottintg,' says a Merchant on WVater street. 'and if you can pay me for that coat 5o0t will mueh olige a sufferer,' &c. &c.- Zounds ! thte. infernal scampus have kept us in a fever for the last t wo or three dlavs. But there is one cottsolation-we ha've t wo as polite and savage looking clerks out, csontinually, as any that visit us, playitng the samue gamue; b~ut we are sorry to say that thtey are seldom :oinnerg. WVouhsi that Christmas could be postponed, or else t he cash system int roduced, This payin;: debts is a hard matter, especially when we can't make collections. An Affectionate Son.-The Centraville (Md.) ientinel ofthe9th inst. says:-"Mr. Trhotmas Nsvill, living~ in the upper part of Queen Ann's county, died a few days ago fromn a 'cut across the abdomen, given to hitt by his father. Mr. Jonathan Nevill. Report says, tat the son was attempting to tie his fat her to inflict persontal chastise ment on him, and that in dtefending him self the father cut hlim.'' Those who have boys stud girls should thank Heaven for it, if things gu on at this rate.
