PHILLIPS* FIB8T BABY.
Mrs. Phillips was on the very pinnacle of felicity.
She was the mother of a boy which
weighed eleven pounds.
Mr. Phillips bid fair to lose his mind entriely..
He danced and sung, and fired guns
from the top of the corn house, whistled Yankee
Doodle while eating his breakfast, and
wrung the necks off all the fowls on the place
to make a chicken pie for the celebration.
This worthy couple has been married ten
years, and this was their first child. People ]
had laughed at them ten years on account of
this luck?people who were overrun with chil- ,
dren, whose lives were made miserable by the i
spankings and scoldings they found it neces- ]
sary to inflict upon their wretched little dlive y
plants. j
Now, Mrs. Phillips said she guessed they'd t
laugh out at the other side. There had never
\ been so large a baby born in Smithfield befere.
Mrs. Jones's only weighed nine pounds t
bad a pug nose. Mrs. Sawyer's was red
haired, an(j bad a mole on its right foot?a a
sure sign that it would come to a bad end? n
aud it only -weighed seven pounds and four- a
teen ounces. guessed folks had better
look to home before they laughed.
Baby proved to be a Tartar. He had a l
I'ke a wind-mill, and seemed determined
^^^^his^^ aud lungs to^the ut- n
, twenty-four.
But his mother declared that he was an
angel.
/ We would never imagine an angel with
puffy red cheeks, heels elivated in the air,
sucking sugar rags, and being pounced about
in a willow cradle to the tune of 'hig-diddledee,'
but then our imagination is not by any
means so vivid as it mi^ht be.
Frqm the hour in which the baby was born
he was the Autocrat of the Household ; everything
had to bow to his nod*
The scullery door creaked ; it was taken off
the hinges, and the servant %is in the draft
all the time, because the creak might disturb
the baby\ For the same reason the coffeemill
was moved into the woodshed; the dishes
must be washed out of doors?the clatter of
the plates made baby scream ; the washing
was done in the barn; the dog was muzzled
and the cat choked?all from the fear of disturbing
the baby.
Mrs. Phillips gave a blacksmith, who was
located within a quarter of a mile, one hundred
dollars to move his shop: and Biddy was
moved to the cockloft of the woodshed 011 account
of her snoring.
The child's diseases were legion. It was a
wonder that it could draw its breath with so
many ailments clinging to it. Mrs. Phillips
was continually on the watch for some new
demonstration.
, "Charles!" cried she, waking her husband
from slumber one cold winter night, it seems
to me the baby don't breathe just right."
Mr. Phillips sprang up and listened. "Qood
gracious! he's got the snuffles, ain't he ?"
"Oh, dear! what shall we do, if baby is going
to be sick ?"
Mr. Phillips got a light, and the anxious
parents brought it to bear on the face of their
nhild.
"Oh heavens !" cried his mother, "his face
is actually purple! he's going to have the
scarlet fever. See 'that red spot on his elbow."
"It may be where he's laid on it," said Mr.
Phillips.
"Laid on it ? Oh, you unfeeling man! you
unnatural father! And there it's sucking its
thumb ! I've known from the first it would
rnot live; it sucks it's thumb so much!"
."Seems to me I've heard my mother say it
was a sign of a healthy child to suck its
thumb, but I won't be certain. Any way, it's
a good sign or a bad one, I forget which."
"Run, Charles ! run for a doctor, it's going
to die?I know it! Oh, don't stop to dress? i
don't?it mav die while you're waiting. Call |
for Granny bates, and tell her to bring me
sonje catnip, and saffron, and rue, and peppermint?tell
her to bring all the herbs she's
?ot, and to hurry Charles, do! Mercy on us!
it's sucking both thumbs! Run?run!"
Mr. Phillips caught up the first article of
clothing he could lay his hands on, which
proved to be an embroidered petticoat of his
wife, but he was in too much haste and altogether
to much excited to notice dress particularly.
* He flung the garment over his head,
had tied it around his waist?slipped on his
shoes, and then plunged out into the keen air.
The doctor was asleep and did not care about
turning out, but on being told that it was a
ease oflifeand death he yielded at once.
Mr. Phillips left hira dressing, and sped to
the residence of Granny Bates. The old lady
was wise, but she was dreadfully superstitious,
and believed religiously in warnings and apparitions.
Phillips gave a thundering rap at
her door, and directly a night capped head
appeared at an upper window.
"What do you want at this time of night,
and who be ye," said a cracked voice.
Phillips stepped out and stood plainly revealed
by the light of a dim moon.
"Good gracioua, massy!" cried the old woman,
"it's an apparatus from t'other world!
And it's got a scolloped petticoat on. Lord!
I didn't think they wasted their time on such
vanerties as that are."
"It's dying!" exclaimed Phillips. "Come
down, quick.'
"Not I! I ain't so green as to trust my old
body with a supernatural ghost," and down
went the window with a bang. Phillips
pounded at the door till he was tired, ai
then made tracks for home.
Dr. Gray had just arrived. Mrs. Philli
was preparing to go into hysterics as soonshe
heard his opinion.
Baby was much worse; it had not only sue
ed its thumbs, but wiggled its toes. It could n
continue long. The aoetor, with a grave fa
entered -the sick room. Biddy rubbed h
mistress with camphor. Mr. Phillips stood 1
wiping his eyes with the drapery of his scai
attire.
"Oh, doctoor, doctor! will it die? On!
save it, and you may take all I have!" cri(
Mrs. Phillips, wringing her hands. I'll g
down on my knees and thank you forever."
"Don't keep me in suspense! only lools^i
its precious little arm! What is it ? For>tl
love of heaven tell me?let me know tl
worst!"
"Well, marm, if I speak out, you promh
not to blame me?" asked the doctor, gravel;
"No, no!"
"Marm," said he, with his long face sti
more elongated, "it's my opinion, as a ma
I urirl a ntiucimon that the nliild Viaahnon hittn

by four bed-bugs, or else it has been bitten i
four places by one insect of that description.
"Dr. Gray," cried the father, "do you mea
to insult us?"
"By no means, sir?I repeat it."
"No you don't!" yielded Mrs. P. "It1
enough to insinuate that 1 have bed bugs, t
say nothing of your libel on the little ange
cherub. Get out of this house this instanl
you mean, cheating, insulting old vagabond.
And seizing the butter ladle from the tabl
where Biddy had placed it full of hot peppe
tea, she flew at him. The doctor knewenoug]
about women to know -.tinst iir flight T&v in
safety, and with a hasty bow he backed off th
steps ab4 u<i ri ftrr h is gig. The groum
"was inclining and quite icy. His heels fle?
up?his head went down, and his whole bod;
spun down the hill like a steel shod cutter
Mrs. P., nothing daunted, rushed after him
and shared the same fete. The two brough
up together at the foot of the hill in a wate:
trough; but no words of sympathy were ex
changed. The doctor got out as quick & h<
could and galloped home, and Mrs. Phillip
followed his example.
The baby lived .and throve. As it grev
older its dictatorship became more and mon
absolute. Phillips was down on all foursth*
greater nortion of his time, that the babj
might ride on his back; and Mrs. P. left hei
arms bare in the coldest weather, because th<
steel sprtn?s"of her dress huri the biby.
Baby made a perfect wreck of all the crock
ery in the house?pounded it with a hammer
he kicked his heels through the looking glass,
and tore the inwards out of pa's gold watch,
unmolested. It pleased the dreary, weary,
seary baby, his mother said?"the little jpitty
sugar plummy baby."
One day when this wonderful baby was a
year old the village inhabitants were startled
by the disheveled appariation of Mrs: ^Phillips?bare-headed,
and wearing a wild expression
of countenance?hurrying at a frantic
rate to the joiner's shop where her husband
worked. And instantly she re-appeaittl* followed
-by Phillips at a dog trot. ? | 3l
Old D^uiiejBntith saw them, and being a
man who lived in constant dread of fire, he
;hou^ht it must be that the residence of Mr.
Phillips was in flames. The old gentleman
vas perfectly insane on the subject of conffag ation,
and at the top of his lungs raised a
:ry: "Fire! fire! fire r
"Where! where!" cried a score of voices.
"Charles Phillips' house!" said the old genleman.
The fireman gathered, got out the engine
nd rim with all speed to the iated house, but
nuch to their surprise they did not even smell
puff of Bmoke in the region.
The head fireman, who was something of a
rag, knocked at the door. Mrs. Phillips apeared,
absolutely radiant.
"Is this the house, allow me to inquire,
la^am, that^wo^are^pected
"I do not understand pxr.-** said Mrs- P.
"but the bal^y has walked two steps?tw<
steps on his ovfcffeet alone!"
"Sold! by Jupiter," cried the fireman; "ant
now, boys, here's three times three to the bab1
that's walked two steps! Hearty, my men
And they gave three cheers, drank a barre
of cider which Mr. Phillips rolled out, and re
turned home.

The Professor in a Fix.?Some student
in one of our colleges being frequently <|UiBoy
ed by the nocturnal and inqnlstorial visits o
a professor, who suspected them of playinj
cards, one evening prepared a kettle of mush
otherwise called hasty pudding, and by th<
time it was boiled, had seated themselve
around the table in the attitude of card-play
iug, waiting patiently for the well known ste]
of the professor. It was no sooner heard thai
a large outside pocket of one of them wa
forthwith filled with hasty pudding, and al
were seated as before. As soon as the pr'ofes
sor had opened the door, the student who wa
loaded with the mush made a sudden sweej
over the table with his hand, as if to gathei
up the cards, and with another motion appa
rently put them into the pocket containing
the mush. These movements could not hel[
being noticed, as they were intended to be, bj
the professor, who, considering them as a prettj
strong evidence of guilt, broke out with th?
following: "Well, young gentlemen, "Fv<
caught you at it at last, have I ?"
"Why, yea, air, we are all here.'"
"So I see you are, and you have been play
iug cards, too."
"No, sir, it is not so."
"It isn't, ha! What have you got in youi
pocket, young man ?"
"Hot, hasty pudding, sir."
"Hot, hasty pudding, ha! hasty pudding
have you ? I'll hasty pudding you," said tin
professor, at the same time thrusting his hanw
half-way to the elbow in the hot, nasty pud
ding.
The dolorous looks, the shaking of fingers
the groaning and capers of the professor, "be
long to the sphere of imagination, not descsrip
tion.

TiieScotch Music Master.?A Highland
piper, having a scholar to teach, disdained t<
crack his brains with the names of semibrieves
minims, crotchets, and quavers. "Here, Don
aid," said lie, "tak yer pipes, lad, and give us
a blast. So, verra weel blawn, indeed; but,
what's a sound, Donald, without sense? You
may blaw for ever without making a tune o't
if I dinna tell you how the queer things or
the paper maun help you. You see that big
fellow, with a round, open face (pointing to a
semibreve between two lines of a bar); he
moves slowly from that line to this, while yo\
beat ane wi your fist and gie a long blast; if
now, ye put a leg to him ye make twa of him
and he'll move twice as fast; and if ye bl.acl
his face he'll run four times faster thai), thi
fellow with the white face; but if, after black
ening his face, ye'll bend his knee, or tie hi
leg, he'll hop eight times faster than the white
faced chap I showed you first. Now., when
ever you blaw your pipes, Donald, ren lembe
this?that the tighter those fellows' 'legs ar<
tied, the faster they'll run, and the quicke
they're sure to dance."

A Jolly Judge.?A judge in Wisconsii
who had tried a suit for the recovery of a li
quor bill, the defence to which was that th<
liquor sold was a very inferior quality, charget
the jury in the following sensible language:
"Gentlemen of the jury, pure and unadul
terated liquor is a wholesome, pleasant bever
age, and as far as the experience of the Cour
extends, conduces to health and longevity
but a bad article, gentlemen, cannot be tole
rated; and if dealers from below will send uj
in this country, so blessed with the smiles o
a benignant Creator, such miserable quality o
liquor as the proof shows this to have been, ii
this court, gentlemen of the jury, they canno
recover." The verdict was, of course, for th
defendant.

ot [Origin*!.]
01 CHRIST THE WAY.
C0
er Both in the Old and New Testament our
)yj Saviour is called the way. There is in this
ot, appellation a peculiar beauty, which will be
readily discovered by any one who will reflect
|y upon the purposes for which Christ came into
^ our world. When Christ is called "the way,"
the language, of course, is figurative; but it is
not less impressive than if the offices which
ie Christ executed were' plainly narrated. On
ie; the contrary, theferfe both beauty and strength
I in the expression ^'Christ is the way." God's j
people understand ^intellectually, and their
7. . i?_i x j.2. x it
nearis give a coraiai assent to its truiu.
It is with great propriety that Christ is
xx called the way that leads-to happiness here on
n1 earth, The object which all are pursuing, is
n happiness. . Some, yes, many, seek it in the
gratification of morbid and depraved appen
titea. The epicure seeks happiness jn apjrory
dish'es; the bacchanalian in rare and costly
>8 wines; the debauchee in beastly lusts. ' None
0 of these find the object of their pursuit Their
;1 portion is jmorse, regret and shame."
t, But not only does disappointment, await
those who seek happiness in the gratification
e of these low and groveling passions; but those
k who are without an interest in I Christ Jesus,
wliuhjrui?amj bv dlth CSHlpja or a?ocadon
e in life, are continually navigating a troubled

* the winds and brings back the sunshine. He
1 is to the .moral world, what the sun is to the
r physical. Blot out the sun, and light leaves
- the world?all is gloom. Night?a long,
2 dark, and dreary night?settles upon the eartH.
3 Take away Jesus from the soul, and all is mor'
al darkness. The sage gropes his way ih im;
penetrable gloom.,. AU things, are against us
j when .Jesus is not for us. Misery springs
r from the earth. It produces for us briers And
r thorns, and nothing else. The air we breath?
' is loaded with death and, like captives in olden
timar,<v6 are mocked .and derided, and
| subjected to excruciating tortures before we
' are put to death. In Christ the spul finds Ye,

I walk through''the dark Valley and shadow
of death, I will fear no evil." When thesoul
thus nestles under the wings of the blessed
Saviour, it is cheered with the soul-reviving
and soul-snstaining Words, "Fear not, I am
with you," utteifed by th<f feiviour as no mortal
can utter theniV ^Vho can be miserable ,
when Jesus is with 'them? No one, is the i
response of all the redeemed in heaven and of i
all the pious on earth. "I would," says the
Psalmist, "rather be a door-keeper in the
house'ef God, than dwell in the tents of wickedness."
< .This is the testimony/ of all good
people. Poverty and God's favor is better
than a title to the whole world without God's
favor. A Jitle .that a righteous ma# hath is
better than the rich? of many wicked. P's.
37:16. I
But Christ is not only the way to true and
genuine happiness here in this world, but He
is the way that leads Jo glory aV God's right
hand.' The fofcdthat leads to heavien and
endless bliss, is through the blood of the atonement
The New Jerusalem is hard by tlje
^os8 js th^Ci^of Jeru^alem 1
? of Mount Sinai. He died for sinners. His
5 blood sav? the sinner from God's avenging
I wrath. By His death and obedience, He
j made it possible for God.to save sinners, and
' certain that God will save all who believe in
1 J?us. He unbarred the doors of heaven
- which man had shut by his sin. In Christ,
God's mercy and'truth, and justice, and righteousness,
and holiness, meet in glorious har?
mony. Christ i^. the way in which God can
f show mercy ancl save the ungodly sinnery
But Christ points out the way to heaven
, His holy example-apd pjjous life. He spake
B as never man spake* and He lived and died 9s
8 no mortal man can live add die. His life
was holy and harmless. The energi? of His
j body and soul were spVnt in going about do
inn/ Infidels and scoffers, skeptics and
a ?o O" ?. t 1
despigecs of Jesus of Nazareth, ought to blush
when they read His life. Who is so far lost
8 to all sense of shame, as to dare say that Je*
3 sus did an immoral deed or uttered an immorf
* *
al word? His life was a.life of holiness, Hi!
, heart was fVtll of pity. Who does not feel thfe
) approvings of conecieno? when Jesus is made
7 the pattern for our acts and words ? Who
1 does not feel that he is advancing.on the king's (
* highway to the"celestial city wheh he follows
Jesus? Who can do wrong and do what Je?
sus did ? , . .
The advice of John Brown', of Haddington, j
when lying on. his dying bed, to his little chil-1
dren, was ."Follow .Jesus." - Pious parents, in
T every nook and corner of the earth, repeat the j
precious words, "follow Jesus." To follow Jesus
may subject us to many severe struggles
3 with the flesh ( biit it will land ns safe at last
I in the haven of eternal rest. It may not take us
- to the cross, but it will ultimately take us to
the right hand of God on high.
' All other ways of salvation lead to ruin.
The scheras which men devise to save the soul
are baseless fabrics. They cheat the immortal
soul out of repose which it can find in JeII
sus. The way of the transgressor is a hard
' J way. It is full of disappointment.

MORE THAN ENOUGH.*
1 exodus 36: 5.
[ When the heart is filled with gratitude to
God for redeeming love, a desire to manifest
[ th. is in some way is felt To meet this long,
in{ > of the grateful heart, God has left His
| ca> use in our hands, and as God himself needs
, no thing from ;U8, lie asks us to help on His
I ki] lgdom upon earth, as the evidence of the
sin cerity, and the gange of our love for Him.
We have only to turn over the pages of the
^ BCble, to see that this has been God's plan,
B frocm the beginning of the organization of His
Church upon earth. When the Israelites,
g brought in safety through the Red Sed, had
h encamped at the footiof Mount Sinai, they
. were called upon to build the tabernacle, apd

that they even brought much more than
''enough for the service of the work?and Mo1
ses caused it to be proclaimed throughout
_ "the Camp, saying: 'Let neither man norl
a "woman make any more work for the offering
1 "of the sanctuary.' So the. people were resstrained
from bringing. For tne stuff they
. "had was sufficient for all the work and too
. "much."
t The Church of the present day needs no
j |: juch restriction !
! Again, at the dedication of the tabernacle,
d I and of the altar, we read of munificent offer'f
j ings made by the princes of the twelve tribes,
f Numbers: 7.'
a | When the Jews returned from Babylon aft!
ter the captivity, and sat down among the
e leaps of Jerusalem, to lament over the stones,
I auad weep over the ashes of the holy and beauj
tiful house, in many tears they laid again the
t: dfoondation of the house of the Lord. In the
e ! progress of their work, they met with obsta|
cles, and yielded to discouragement, allowing
? J^-S '
vain excuses to hinder them, saying: MT?
time is not come that the Lord's house shoy*
be built" But while they aflowed the ho<e
of God to lie waste, they did not neglect Je

benign and sanctifying influence, is family.
All the relative duties of life-aiut as
concentric circles, ranged around Vernon
centre; and as the family is the ne? ana
the first in order, its influence. thereto be
pre-eminent. A family where religueigns
supremely, is a charming spectacle tagejs
and men ; and shines as a brilliant lien the
world. There, mutual affection andjbearance,
one toward another,^habituallyevail.
Within its peaceful habitation paril authority,
blended with kindness ana gelness,
is always maintained. Wisdom anil pence
in training the youthful members for. duties
of life, are continually displayed, pund
that altar kneels each day, a group oivout
worshippers; and sweeter than th^jrant
breath of the morning, rises the uupe of
prayer and praise to Israel's gentle ?Sherd.
The 1. ada of that family feel that^et act
of theirs is charged with influence; aihat
their spirit, temper, and deportmeiif^ all
moulding human character for time Eternity
; and therefore their deep solicihjand
watchfulness are unceasingly exercistfiat
they may bring up those committed heir
charge, in the nurture and adraonitioijthe
Lord. On such home culture the ss of
high heaven rests. And to show his"'probation
of it, God declared concerning jra*
ham, "I know him, that he will comin&hre
children, and his household after hlnnd
they shall keep the way of the Lord, do
justice and judgment." Such influer is
like the aromatic perfume of the violet,dnuating
itself into the deep recesses of finfantile
mind and heart, where no othenld
penetrate. And to the present day, Inspired
aphorism is true, "Train up a clin.

DR. ^RKER ON CORF? CULTURE. a
At a eeting of the South Carolina Agi- 8
culturalind Mechanical Society; held n *
Columbjlast November, the subjoined repit c
on "Cot Culture" was read by Dr. Parkr,
of that ty. He says: ' 1 !
In pefarming the duty assigded me by te
Agricutyral and Mechanical Association^
proposepriefly, to give my own experiei e
with thresult of two or three experiment c
As earl* as the year 1827,1 became conviri< d
that, in-he event of drought in summer,1 te Jj
ordinal method and routine of planting o< n j
in my jeighborhood was ruinous in its resujs, 1
entailing on the planter the necessity of Otting
hi supply elsewhere than from his J
field. A.cting upon the suggestion deried
from b?oks on agriculture, I took for my frat
experiuent a level, much exhausted, red cby ,

per acre the preceding year. 1 1
Abont the 1st of December, I started ;he
worlt of ploughing and sabsoiling with hull
tongue plows and an old-fashioned couler, )
running two of the former to one of the latter, /
thus siibsoiling every alternate furrow.
Early in February, the field was laid off, 1
four feet each way, with a seven inph shorel,
followed bv the subsoil plow. In each check
ar small shovel-full of a compost of cotton
seed, stable manure, and the scrapings of the
lots were put and covered with a tongue plow.
In March, the field was planted in corn, the
seed having been soaked in a solution of ?Itpetre,
a^id, was covered with hoes to the depth.
~ A* ?ooji as^njFjplfnB-st*"
Ijfincd the height of three or four inches, it
.was thoroughly ploughed with tongue plows
and followed bv the hoe hands. It received
two other ploughings, with short shovels, and
was laid by before the tassel appeared. The
cultivation was level, rather drawing the earth
from than to the stalk, at the early stage of
its growth. 9
The contrast between this and other ields
around during a hot and dry season, was striking.
In this field, the vigorous growth and
dark green blades gave but little indicatiou of
drought, while in many fields around,- the
plant was literally being scorched to dryress.
The product was put down at twenty-five
bushels per acre, being a gain of at least twenty
bushels per acre over the preceding crop.
From the foregoing experiment, we learn
the beneficial effect of opening the soil for the
reception and retention of moisture during the

TTIUbVI) VUV R/vvw* ?J
and adaptation of the soil for the ramification
of the lateral roots of the corn. . *
It is remarkable that this method of preparing
the soil, so successfully practiced
amongst the ancients, should have been- lost
sight of in our country until within the last
forty or fifty years, and what is more strange,
but few formers of our day know from their
own experience anything of the benefit derived
from deep ploughing in winter or fall.
In the foregoing experiment the error committed
was in putting the manure in the hill,
instead of ploughing it in the land broadcast.
When manure is put in tfie hill, the plant is
vigorously pushed forward, and attains a great
height before the shoot apjpears, and then
commonly within three or lour blades of the
top, consequently distant from its source of
nourishment below, and with but little protection
from above. Take carefully that stalk
from the ground and immerse its roots in clear
water ana remove all dirt. YouLwilLobsetvathe
roots confined to a small circumfereqpe,
all seeming to grasp the food just at their exit
from the stem, and comparatively but few
lateral roots. ; When the manure has been
properly ploughed in the land broadcast, the
(ilant at first does not make such rapid headway
; but from a wise provision of nature, the
lateral roots aW being sent out with their
thousand mouthi^O&earch of food and mois11111

begins to shoot about the time the roots are in
condition to bestow their treasures for its support.
Just at this important crisis "in the
growth of the crop, it has been urged by old
planters that the ground should have its last
good ploughing. I have seen more than one
field-of luxuriant corn thus ruined. Common
sense should admonish the plowman to stay
his hand and leave undisturbed the delicate
little veins or roots in the discharge of their
important funtions.
To gratify my farmer, as well as to convince
him of his error, he was allowed to give what
he termed a finish with the plow and hoe to a
dozen rows?the result was a decided falling
off in yield. The foregoing experiment shows
that with the proper preparation of the soil,
four feet by four gives sufficient distance on
upland, aflkl that the preparation of the land
and first plowing to the crop should be deep,
and all other cultivation shallow and level.
My next experiment was of more recent
date, and on land very different Jlncharacter
from the first, being nothing more llor less
than a quagmire, near by the city of Columbia.
It .tfav&town over with rushes, willows
and sour grh$g&, abounding with snakes and
malaria, through which a serpentine branch
made its sluggish way.
My firs! work was-to secure thorough drainage
by means of a' canal and under drains,
then to clearing and leveling, 'and tnira, to
lime and break up with a twohorse jflow,.all
of which was the work of the summer.
In November a heavy coat of cow-hobie
manure was applied and turned under with a
two-horse plow. In January the same process
was repeated, and again in March, and the
subsoil plow used. In April it was nocessary
to plow under a luxuriant growth of weeds,
lime being first applied as at first In Mar
the hands were again on the ground with
manure carts, two-horse plows and hoes; after
plowing another coat of manure in, the land
was harrowed perfectly level, and laid off thirty-six
inches apart; throughout each furrow
Peruvian Guano, salt and plaster were sprinkled
at the rate of 200 pounds per acre of
each. The seed corn, after being soaked in a
solution of nitre, was rolled in plaster and
dropped ten inches apart in the rows, covered
with rakes and the land roller. Five days
jfttanjlanting, this corn was up. and growing.
AaWHKit was large enough to bear plowing.^S^Hrun
around with a long, narrow
plow, fc^Bred by the hoe. There was nothing
remaHable in the culture of this lot. It
was kept clean by shallow and level culture
until it began to shoot and tassel; irrigation
WS3 then resorted to by conveying from a reservoir
a gentle flow of water through every
alternate row. Thus the land was kept moist
and the plant in a growing state.
The Agricultural Society awarded the pre '
1 * -i-iJ
raiura lor tne largest yieiu iu ujio iui, wioio
being 147 bushels per acre produced on two
acres.
The following year the same experiment
was repeated, except that the rows were
thirty instead of thirty six inches apart
Inasmuch as there were doubts entertained
as to the correctness of the first crop, we were
the more careful in having a larger committee
to measure and report on this. Their award
was the first premium as before, the yield
being two hundred bushels and twelve quarts
of good corn on a single acre. The land was
surveyed by the city surveyor.
From the foregoing remarks and experiments
the following conclusions may be drawn:
1st. Deep breaking up.
2nd. Underdrainage on moist flat land.
1 3rd. Judicious manuring.
4th. That the first work should be deep;
subsequent work shallow and level.
( 5th. The roots of the corn should not be
< disturbed after it bunches to tassel,
j Under the old method of culture, the question
has arisen whether or not corn can be
^made a remunerating crop. I should say on
jour old plantations it cannot. On the other
lhand, by the improved culture, the effects of
drought or scalding from too much rain, can
be overcome, and instead of harvesting fifty
per cent, less than an average crop, as is the
case the present year, there would doubtless
,jbe an increase of fifty per cent, over the average
of post years, on the same area of ground.
I
'he question, would then be responded to afrmatively?
and demonstrated by Evidences

rould be verified: "It takes corn to mlike
