of the country, il is imjxiwnlile projierlv
to estimate—is this mouth to he <li>l>< -
sed of by what is usually termed .lie
work of “laving hv.” This is always a
critical (leriod to this-vey valuable crop,
from various causes, the most disastrous
of which, however, is the work itselfi—
Your corn, on land that has been prop
erly prepared and judiciously wotked
up to this time, is growing thriftily and
doing well, and is beginning to shade
the land to a considerable extent. It is
now proper that yon s'ir ami pulverize
the surfaee soil, destroying all voting
grass and weeds’, ami thus “lay it bv.”
That this last winking of corn is often
delayed to too late a periial there is te*
question. There is a great diversity of
opinion among planters on this subject,
manv preferring to work their corn even
after it has commenced silking. With
all proper deference to these cniifiictiug
practices, from well tested experiments,
under various circumstances, we urge a
more economical and profitable practice
ill ihe management of this valualtl - crop.
We have insisted on it that the seed
-honld not be planted until nature lias
dearly indicated the opening of spring.
Thus secured against the contingency
of serious injury from frost, your corn
giorrS off readily and rapidly .and yrhere
it is properly cultivated, should t«. "lay-
ed by” early in June; at anv rate be
fore it tagins to silk and tassel.

in vour corn, rvithhold your priming
implements now ! as the functions of
every root the stalk r.ow has, are requit
ed to fill up ami make p'liinp the grain
corn. No truism, in plantation econo-
have insisted upon the importance of
Ijrestrving the roots unbroken in all the
subsequent work in the cotton. The
growth of the plant in the soil in its
roots, is very much like i)s growth above
the surface in its limbs. Indeed, this
similarity of growth under the surface
to that atave the surface, is a very re
markable and striking feature in the cot
ton plant. In the cultivation of the plant
therefore, at this season of the year-
middle of June—when it has commen
ced fruiting, the extent of the limbs is
the true guide as to the proximity the
the stveep ever should approach the
stalk, tuesetving your bed firm and un
broken. On this part of the sulject we
have but few more remarks to make.
We ask every planter ar.d manager
to liear in mind that the cotton plant is
to come into bearing in the course of
some twelve to fifteen days; and though
it he emphatically a tap-rooted pldtit—
with the capacity often of dipping into
tie earth, in one season, from four to
six feet, vet it is upon its leaves and sur

to ridicule the plan, denouin tMuid con
demn it, without ever pulling the plan
to the test to prove whether it is right
or wrong. ’Lite writer knows the p>an
is a good one, and advises all its ene
mies to test it. By this mode of plow
ing, let the weather be wet or dry, hot
or cold, it is by far the most certain way
to keep from firing the Corn. In his
inontlilv essay the writer advises that
the Peas should be planted amot g the

TOTATOES.
If the crop as well as the stand of Po
tatoes, are not complete, the farmer
should loose no time. Having the land
well prepared, the beds made up with
it is to l*e performed, it would seem to
be pre-mi.p’tioiis in me to detain you in
mentioning. There is no greater eiror
than that which supposes cotton has but
few surface roots. They are rapidly
spreading into the ntellow soil now, and
if V"ti do not quickly plow away from
the stalks of cotton, and keep your plow
away, yon will industriously, multiply
the chances for a bad crop. The light,
fl*' -weep is »he only instrument, and it
runs as miifli less than a half in**h as
possible; that will not injure the cotton
after it has commenced taaring.
Oats.—This crop will require atten
tion this month. Cut some for your hor
ses and mules, snv just as they begin to
show a slight yellowish tinge; no feed
belter, when cured, than this.
Hogs.—This is a trying time with
hogs usually in this country; Get them
into vour oat pastures as soon as possi
hh*; and if you have provided for it,
give them plenty of squashes, and, once
a week, fail not to give them a mixture,

—it is, however, a waste of seed on old,

ed the benefit of this last working of the

hut that it is tatter for both your corn
and peas, that they ta planted <:n land

to your corn as would ta the same a-
mount of weeds growing among it, but
we submit to the injury thus sustained
by the corn, in the benefit obtained by
the stock from the peas.

corn, filled in with water.
Potatoes.—These will yet do well
from the draws. Plant these pretty
largely, as everv thing on the plantation
loves them and is tanefitted by them—
and few articles, except peas, fatten hogs

for permission to perform a voyage,
which jiermission they could either grant
or refuse, we did not hesitate to make
the application. We do not in tact con
sider that we had a right to refuse com
pliance with his instructions. Mr. Col
lector Colcock informed us that as our
application was of a novel character—
and intimately connected with thegiave
issues now agitating the country, he
deemed it his duly, as a subordinate of
ficer of government, to refer the matter
to the authorities at Washington, for
their consideration and decision, ant*
that he would refuse the clearance, un
til he should receive instructions from
the Secretary of the Treasury. The an
swer of the Secretary not having been
received within a reasonable time, Mr.
Lamar wrote to him in his official cn-
pacitv, urging a prompt reply to our
application, made for his vessel, and in
his behalf, and informing him of the
whole scojie and design of the proposed
voyage.
Our application was made in proper

At this day, when our young men want
