THE FARMERS’ COLUMN.
CORN PLANTING.
V e take the following interesting commu
nication from 1 lie Southern Rural Gentle
man, one of the best agricultural journals in
the Southwest:
Mlt. Editor:—In fulfillment of my pro
mise to you, I herewith submit, for the bene
fit of your readers, and of all who arc dis
posed to profit by it, a regular system of corn
culture—for any season—which, from expe
rience and observation, I am satisfied is the
best and surest yet adopted in this country.
1st. \\ hen coni is to be planted in cotton
land, take a large two-horso shovel plow, and
with a strong team run it deep under the old
cotton stalk*, with mole boards, so as to open
a deep, broad furrow. Step-drop, or gunge
the corn at from twenty to thirty inches apart
—putting three to live grains in a place—to
be thinned to one stalk—cover wulr one of
two furrows, with a scooper plow. When
the corn is four orfivc inches high, run round
it two furrows to the rowg with a small stamp
er plow—with a cross board—close and deep.
In two weeks plow in with a soldier sweep
—of the proper shape—two furrows to the
row—hilling up the corn well, and burying
up the middle. In two weeks plow in again,
with the turning plow’, deep—lapping the
furrows well in the corn. In six or eight
days, drill peas on the remaining middle, and
break it out deep at one furrow with a large
shovel plow ; and your corn is made—only
you have to thin it out by baud of wot days
—when the corn is from one io three feet
high.
2- When old corn ground is to be planted,
a center furrow should be run, and t lie 1 md
well-bedded, with double team—plowing deep
—the corn planted in the bed, and cultivated
as before. It old corn laud lias not been
much tramped, or from any cause tolerably
loose, and you arc in a hurry, it may be plant
ed and cultivated as in cotton land.
All rows—except on very poor land—
should be three and a half feet apart, so as
to answer for corn or cotton ; and tbcic should
be, at least—on all good common ground—
one stalk to every squaie yard, in cultivation.
One hundred good ears will make a bushol;
and if each stock brings one good ear. it will
make a bushel ; and it each stock brings one
good ear, it will make a bushel; it will make
forty-eight (48-100) bushels per acre; for
each acre contains, exactly, 4840 square
yards, Any good, common land, ought to
make, at least, forty bushels corn ] er acre ;
as this would allow 84'J missing hills and
blighted ears to each acre.
Philosophy of this System—of Planting
and Cultivating.—The best, warmest, and
dryest land is in the old cotton bed ; conse
quently, the corn will grow oiF earlier there
than anywhere else, and as there is no grass
seed in the old lied by planting in, you are
seldom troubled with much grass in the drill.
The old cotton stalks should not be beat down
till just before planting, as while standing
with their numerous branches, they break the
f* !’• . I 1 " ..
mice ui me uescenuing winter rams, anti tints
keeps the ground mellow and loose. In my
judgment, all that corn requires is. that the
land should be broken deep, close and thor
oughly, once in its cultivation. l?v this sys
tem—this only is done, and 1 eor.-ider all be
yond this a waste of labor. By this ;5y>. jn
all hoeing is avoided—a large amount of
which is generally indispensable, when the
barring and shoveling system is adopted. By
this system, corn will seldom succor or over
shoot itself, and as very few corn roots are
broken, it will generally stand drouth better
than when cultivated differently.
Shape of Sweeps.— '1 lie best sweep in the
world for corn or cotton, in my opinion, is
solid—nearly a triangular sliaj o—rounding
under the bottom—cuts fifteen inches—and
is bent backward and downward time incite.
front the outer corners, so that these run onlv
about one inch shallower than the point.
Why don't your l'oiindery men ca-t s. me
sweeps of this description, and let us have
them ?
Crass beam far Sroof- r /b —T presume
most farmers know how this i- fixe 1. A
small hoard tacked to the foot and beam of
the plow—parallel with .lie rod, and on the
side next the corn—to pulverize the ground
and prevent the large clods front rolling on
the corn when it is small. Hoping that this
may be beneficial to some,
I remain yours, IJ. K. G.
Give Yota Plants Poom. — Farmer
can never get the idea into their heads that
plants need room. 'J hey crowd them so near
together, that they frequently suffocate ; and
instead of large s| editions, an 1 large croj -.
the farmer often gets small plants and small
crops. It looks hard, indeed, to | nil outmic
third or in ore of good, thrifty growing plants;
but as hard as it looks, it :s nccessaiy -i we
wish for large returns. Carrots, turnips an l
beets need thinning at least six incite-, and
to be fourteen inches between the rows, i
have seen a number of crops of root the i -t
season, and grown by tim e wlm pri led them
selves on their- knowledge of fanning; and.
in manv instances. I found that t*>ev i a i. t
properly thinned their growing ci and
the prospect was a small return f.,r the r la
bor. i liave often experimented with rows,
side by side, and aiways found the crop
double, and the roots better where properly
thinned. Sparc not the plants m>r tlic h.-c.
it it would raise large and remunerative cro-s.
[Philosopher, in llural American.

A IIorse with the It paves.-—We
have heard scores of remedies proposed for
lieavcs. Ginger mixe I with oats has be _u pre
scribed, and hundred- of hordes have heitu
killed by doses of spirits of turpentine in va
rious quantities. Indeed, we know of very
few things which have not been recommended
in turn as a cure for heaves. Prevention is
always better than cure. A riddle in front
of the cutting box. to let sand and dust out
of cut feed, will he found advantageous.
Steaming the food prevents the dust from
separating from the food when eaten, and
materially ameliorates the disease. The use
of earots. however, is not only a preventative,
but a remedy. Nor horse will be troubled
with heaves while carrots form part of his
food. [Working Farmer.
For Blind Staggers.— Gum camphor,
one ounce ; whisky or brandy, one pint—dis
solve. Dose : One giil in a half pint of gum
Arabic, flax-seed, or other mucilaginous tea,
given every three or four hours; seldom ne
cessary to give more than three doses. '] lie
horse must he kept from water twenty-four
hours. Never bleed in this disease. Wrap
ping the legs in woolen cloths and keeping
them bathed in water, as hot as can l-c borne
seem beneficial in connection with the above
receipt.
--— ♦ — -
Underdrain iso Boggy Land. — In
deep, mucky bogs it is a difficult matter to
make underdrains that will work, but it can
be done, ’the Boston Cultivator says : " We
liave seen deep ditches in a soft bog tartly
tilled with sand, so as to make a solid founda
tion. boards laid on the sand an 1 the in -
laid on the boards, and then covered in the
ordinary way. They have remained in good
order, and teams pass in any direction over
the ditches.”
V.'nlx Beacon Y. got into a lad fix lie was
very expert in crawling out of it. Though
quick tempered, lie was one of the best dea
cons in the world. He would not in sober
moments utter an oath, or anything like one,
i for his weight in eider. At the close of a
rainy day lie was milking upon a knoll in the
barnyard, at which was a dirty slough, and
, near by an old ram, that, in consideration of
his usual quiet disposition, was allowed to run
with the cows. The deacon was piously hum
ming Old Hundred, and had just finished the
1 line, " exalted high,” when the ram, obeying
a sudden impulse to be aggressive, gave him
a blow from behind, that put him up a short
distance. Only to fall directly in the slough,
I where the dirty water was just deep enough
; to give him a good ducking. As he crawled
I out. and before he rose from his all fours, he
looked over his shoulder at the rani, aud qui
: etly vociferated—“You d—d old cuss, you!”
j out looking aroun 1. and seeing one his neigh
bors at the bars, looking at him. lie added, in
the same breath, “ if 1 may be allowed the
; expression.”

Revenue and 'Taxation of England.
The whole net revenue of England for the
year ending Eeccmber 31. lboJ, amounted
to £71,1)07,495, about equal, in round num
bers. to 8300,099X90. 1 his is but the net
j sum. The cost of collection, estimated at an
| average of 8 per cent., would make the gross
j amount of English taxation £77.700,999. or
; 8388.909,009, to be paid by a population
| smaller than our own, atul the majority of
them much poorer.
This vast amount is raised thus : Customs,
£23.909,990; excise, £1.999,900; stamps,
I £2x50,000; post-office. £3.5 JO,995; crown
lands. £250,000; miscellaneous items, nearly
£2,000,000, and property tax nearly £3,000,
; 000. Yet immense as this amount is. it falls
short nearly three million pounds of meeting
the year's ex pen. lit urcs. It is estimated that
the late war with China will cost England
875,000,009. lit return for which she gets
indemnity to the amount of 87,500,900, in
installments, running < u for several years.
'I his is a profitable speculation lbr John Bull,

Tnr. Fitiident's Last Levee. — The
President's levee on Tuesday night was Mr.
Buchanan's last. It was the largest of his
Administration, and was very brilliant. It is
estimated that at least five thousand people
were in attendance. The venerable heads of
the Peace Conference were prominent among
■ the throng. In contrast with the.-c were the
representatives of the army an 1 navy, attire 1
in their brilliant warlike trappings. All the
leaders of the incoming Administration now
in the city were pic-ent. including Governor
(. hare, of Ohio, whose chances lbr the Cabi
I net increase. Of the officers of the present
Cabinet Mr. King was present; also nearly
all the foreign ministers.
The President expressed no regret that his
, end had come, and Miss Lane never did the
, honors more gracefully. Bite was attired in
pure white, and during the evening was sur
rounded with hosts of friends and admirers,
each one of whom seemed to have a parting
word to say. Everybody seemed to be merry,
