Tbe likeness spprars, though, in the differ- •nee of arrangement of the corn on tbe land, is its peculiar merit, when it is stated as being •imply the planting of two rows two feet or thereabouts apart, or la other wordsjust work, in gdistanee apart, as more favoring tbe flat cultivationnecersary between them,then skip ping ten feet, two other like rows, and so on throughout, aogivingalike number of rows to the sera with lie equivalent, the six foot method, and with no other change necessary than to make the wider space twelve feet to male tbe planting tbe equivalent, in that re spect to the seven foot method. Tbe plan advocated, however, is particular ly adapted to tba more porous, hence more readily traversed, toils, though to ha employ ed with tbe larges; advantsga even In the most wtxey, If tbe culture is correspondingly better; thorough pulverisation by tbe plough- lags prescribed with tbe turn plow being necessary, and tbe strictest non-interference with the little outstretching rootlets thereafter, an essential to tboir oomplele occupancy of tha wider beds; and thus, tba use on these, of the better adapted and more elleotiva barrow in comblnating competing growths; though earefully worked, snsllow set, open sweeps may, as an alternative, be employed, e« they should be, between the two feet spaces. First, to nature tbe flat cultivation needed through out, etd second, tbe opportunity to the plants of either row, to travel uninterruptedly in cither direction, laterally. It it scarcely nocettary to observe that the bittreiultefroma' method which requires a well pulverised soil throughout, must depend very much upon tbe proper prime preparation of tie land, in the cultivation, after the second ploughing of tbe crop, which las! should ba reprtiented when thinned to the needed stand, by one hundred etalks lor each bushel or •balled corn that the land Is expected to pro duce upon the very safe assumption that should it prove more productive than sup posed, more and larger ears to the stalk will he produced; 'or the ears usually grown under tbe plan will, at a rule, shell more than a bushel frum the one hundred ears; thlaquanti- ty having been reallx.d from two-tb rds that number.

The firm of Grant A Ward hare enjoyed n luge •hired free advertising In this country, bnt tho effect hu been of u unenviable character. There are two Wards whose names appear prominently before tbe msites, of peculiar lntcrojt. Both bare been placed lo a perilouscondltlou.and both hava made desperate struggles In order to obtain relict. While one lost bis money, the other lhst his health.
