AGRICULTURAL. "lottos of rrn-Cpon lug West mid Soudi. Early in the planting season we ven tured some suggestions with regard to deep plowing, to anticipate a dry spell, which were so well received by the lo cal press and agricultural public, that e congratulated ourselves tha' we had made no amateur’s mistake in the time ly offer of the admonition. The sug gestion inspired by a conversation with a bale old Minnesota farmer who bad recently settled on a farm a short dis iance from Nashville, who explained to us how. in the severe drought of the previous year, he had made good corn ahd a comparatively full crop, when most of his neighbi rs had fsiiled utter ly. 11 is plan was no more nor less than settiughis coulters deep and har nessing to the plow beam three power ful hor eg abreast, and driving into tho very b< wels of the earth, as il hi: ilidn t care much if the share went through to the antipodal regions ol China '1 he cultivation was so thorough that the plant had a better chance to withstand t Ite severe drought that, burned up other corn, almost to the roots of the stalks. II is plan may have been rid euled as “scientific" farming, but it turned out in the end to be eminently practical.— It is held by .experienced Western far mers that the difference in a crop of torn between slovenly ad thorough cultivation, even where plasters cannot ■he conveniently aud profitably applied, is one-half, or twice as much from good as under careless treatment. The St. Louis Republican cites some tmtab'e instances in illustration : In 1873, a jMx. Hudson, raised on one acre of ground on the ‘,Q.ikridgo barm in Amherst county, Va., 170 bushels of white corn ; the fact being attested by Mr. Fortune, a notary of the county. A copy of the “Virginia Farmers’ Register,’’ printed by Edmund Ruffin. -,:t Petersburg, thirty-five years ago -as this statement : “Mr. Meggison, of Alberuiarlo county, was repotted by the county society to have raised 110 bush ■ls of sound studied corn on one meas ured acre of ground, being river hot tom and thoroughly cultivated ; a large j white sort of a corn.” In the Depart ment of Agriculture report for 1868) there is an authenticated statement •that Joseph Goodrich and Luther Page of Worcester, Massachusetts, each rais ed 111 bushels of shelled corn on one acre of ground ; and tho same report ogives instances 'n Ohio where 93 and 901 bushels per acre were raised. The Rockbridge County (Va.) Society, at its meeting in 1871, gave a detailed -iatemont of tho results of competition for the premium for the argest yield ol .-of corn: J. D. 11. Ross raised on one acre GO bushels, and on five acres 203 bushels; A. L. Nelson raised 91 bush els on ono aero, and 317 bushels on •five acres, and G. W Pettigrew raised ; 7 bushels on one acre, and 400 bush els on five acres. The treatment in each case consisted ol deep plowing from ten to fourteen inches, and the application of homo made compost. Our farmers may not be tilde to ap ply plasters and other artificial stimu lants, but they can cultivate more thoroughly than they have done, by not undertaking a larger area than they ■an manage well, and make more grain io the acre and more money in having as the result a more marketable arti cle. A good many of our farmers mow fbv reason of the frequency of rainfall, find themselves pretty much overrun with weeds, and having more land uu* .tier cultivation than they can well at -end to, are compelled to <lo harder work than they should have to do, and perhaps not realize as good a profit as ■if they had not attempted too much— There is nothing like close cultivation, •and we must try next year to profit by \he exocrienee of this one. When an Indiana giri gets tired <>f a lover and determines to and sutis.* him -he doesn’t throw much fresco work into her speech : “I guess you can pull oil now. Sam,” is her icy remark; "this ■egg weu't hatch,” An 'Englishman was boasting to a 'Yankee that they had a book in th*> British Museum which was once owned Ty Cicero. "Oh. tliat ain’t nothin.," retorted the Yankee, "In tlie museum •in Posting they’ve got the lead pencil hat Noah used to check off the ani mals that went into the ark.” Shoes!
