Broom Com mi? Brooms. EDITORS OK Cfi.TiViATou.-As some plan ters have grown Broom corn, it may not ?r?va amiss to give a few hints abimt how to make* brooms. The best way is . to pull to pieces an old broom ; but as everybody may i not bc able to do this, ? will give the me?t ! important steps. Procure some strong twine or.dtringv -Bore a hole in the end of the han dle and make ouc cud of this twine or string fast either in this hole or any other way ?.fas ten the other end to any convenient place or object, thou holding thc handle in thc hand put tho brush closely around thc handle, turn-. lng the handle a. little and fastening c?iclr? straw tightly with thc twine. "When the straw has boen thus put jill around, wind thc twine tightly two or three times around it, cut oil'j the ends or butts a little above thc ring of | twine, their wind thc twjne obliquely and tightly a little up the handle, unit1 tar enough lo put.on the second and last row of straw; put that o:-t like thc first or lower row, wind the twine three or four limes tightly around tad-fasten thc end either by a tack driven [brough a knot in thc twine er by a neat sta olti. Then press tho broom a ?few inches be ow thc end "Mhe handle between two sticks )T any other, contri vance, pass a couple of i .muds of twine around it, nod fasten them in j dace by stitching them through the broom, ind the broom will bc fimshcd^Fastening .be further end of thc twine to some object ind drawing the twine tightly bv holdiug joly by tho handle, will bc found to save the lauds from blistering, be-ddes enabling the :\viuo to be drawn mucli more tightly. | 1 As throwing some tight upon a very un settled question ;n planting, I will mention bree experiments made very unintentionally ind wilb results that I did not antcipatc. Three diff?rent .small pieces of land, in as nany diff?rent cum tit-Ids, wore bedded for I particular crops, but being unable to procure i he seeds they were all planted in corn. In i :h% first of the^e patches two furrows were ? : un in tho bottom of the alley, one sjdo of f :ach bed was hauled, and late in the season jettier grassy, thc other side was merely hoed I i ? kill thc grass. The other bad one furrow | i run "n each side alterwards, thc alternate jalks were broken and hauled, and nothing nore waa done, the land being too hard to be duwed when it was desired to break out the aber balk. The third experiment being in .lie low country, 1 cannot say exactly how it--| va? treated', but it was like the rest of Ihc :oru around it. A small piece of live rows ras never hoed, All these patches bore ...inch better crops Chea the J cst of the corn 1 ..round, almost a- much better as if ojuano had ( icca applied to them. 1 "tried one* quarter icreof swejet potatoes with one hand-picking 'there being but little grass on it at lhe<imej md no ho'-ing or plowing, and thin far I can ?ce no difference between it and thc rest - of he crop around it. l?c-ing very much behind und last spring, one held of corn was p!an :ed by dropping the feed in the tracking ftir .ow and coveted by a ene horse furrow, none d'it having been ptosred fit ail previously. iVhcj time to break fut the b*lk caine round, J he bcd was i'..und to be so herd that me Loise .(cast iron ) plow could not enter or urn a furrow, i theo tried the two horse'I dow of tho same pattern and found no dim .ulty in i leaking i&np, but thc draugnt Was if course he?Vv. ? thus found that winter t ireaklr.g up could bc dispensed with, and my 1 and, during dry weather, is almost like st'.m\ t h:;Vo spent the past su rn un** i?i the country i if shovel plows and scrapers, and J still say ( ive ute a good cast iron plow hot)] for quali y of work, ease of draught) and elk f itness in coaita and durability.

Tribute te Co). J. C. Simkius. Fell, 'JU the 18th of June, iu the bloody and desperate fight at Battery Wagner, Lieu tenant Colonel John C. Sin-kins, in the 3tith year of bis age. Thus, in the f?ll bloom of manhood, per ished this gallant moldier-a noble sacrifice on hi*-country's altar, " Wc mourn thee as wc mourn the brave."' A peric.-t type of all'pure and manly vir tues, he was in evpry sense of ?bc torin <; ono o? Nature's noblemen.'' Surrounded by all that could maleo lifo pleasant and attractive, and endowed with that exquisite (sensibility which unido him keenly alive to all the refin ed and domes'i.:* pleasures which cluster aruuiid thc social hearth, with every tie that could make life endearing, and with a nature peculiarly lilted for the pure enjoyments of life, he gave up all and nobly bared his breast to the storm. Not for one moment since thc I beginning of this fearful struggle did-he hes- j ?tate what part to take, but wherever duty ! iud honor called, lhere was he found foremost. Aud to those who saw farm on Wagner's stonily ramparts on thc memorable and bloody i Sib, a the head of his floiniuaud, be was as tho embodiment of all that was heroic. Pale, wan and haggard with tin day's fearful exer tions; still his form waa to be s?-eu always in the van, and where at last his death-wound was struck, he yielded his life with a sigh for the lies wTijck bound bim to it, yet not with aut a smile to think that 'twas for Freedom's :ause he bled. It was in the shades of domes lie and private life that his character wau most :o bc appreciated. Such was the geniality of j bis disposition, that in all the innocent amufe ncnts and pastimes of the young he?entcred iv i th a heartsouicncss that was truly refresh ng, and which ever made him thc chief at traction of a youthful circle. The gentleness md purity of his feelings were peculiarly man fested in his fondness for children, and his ntuitive appreciation of all their childish ?races and beauties, ilefirmd aud delicate 3Qjotione, noble and BenewQs impulses dwelt n his soul, and was duly appreciated by him n others ; yet when ocasi?n required, wdien irmrtess and decision ruled thc hour, none .vere more strictly rigid in the discharge of ? iuty than he. " Large w.'is Lia bounty and,his soul sincere; Heaven di J a rec-mpon?? more larguly send." Ah! when the future history ol this morri es* war is written, his natue will shine forth tm it? brightest pages of glory ; when Wagner's lU.rmy tale be told, hi3 name will .-tttud forth ts pee of its chief defenders.
