' x AA ' - ' i t When V p jrchased the plantation on whf ch 1 now. reside, in 1812, the field had bec.n in culti ration, in one continued suc cesion of corn crops, lor some. 20 or 25 . ea!rs, ;.1 So son as I could prepare the A ground forth 3 purpose, I put it In timothy jncidpvv.

In this way, i i the course of 12 or 1 5 years, ; : ivhcl I supppsed it to remaiitin meadow, A: it was restored to its native tcrtility,1)eing A- natumll as rich aai the best Kentucky lanid. 1 now raised several crops of to bae'ed on the ground, when it was again mtuv jmeadpw, and treated as! above' Foj the last t,hreo or four years preceding ; iho p rsent, it has been in hemp;; '" Karly in April of this year, . it was all r ploughed, and once harrowed, and laid off With rrat exactness 3 feet each way.

During Ihislperjod, the j j utmostihere Was very dry and win JviVTho ' IVrmit me now to give the rrsu t of an other expeiiment, made during the pre sent year, to ascertain the advantages of planting corn more closely than usual, re commended by some of our farmers, Ayho have succeeded in raising very large crops under favorable circumstances. My ex perimental crop was planted on the 12th of April, (one' day before that described above,) upon; laria which had been cleared in 1810; and preserved in its native state of fertility by a 'due proportion of grass crops; .; Its fertility .was about equal ; fo that described above,' and was in a field lying -on the same ridge; riorthwestbf the farmj in your November number,: page 322 of your last volume. This field, had been in clover for the two years pfeeed ing, and was ploughed up last fall with the view ofputting it in hemp, and was consequent!' in fine condition for hemp or corn. - v?x x -s .-4x ,,i v ' On one side of the field, I laid off, in an oblong square, four acres, each acre lying equally wejl, and of equal fertility. This ground M'as again ploughed early in the spring, and levelled with the harrow. . It was now laid off the long way with great accuracy, 3 feet from centre; to centre, and then checked off the s other :way 4n rows : the first acre 4 feet apart, the sec ond acre 3 feet : apart, the third acre 3 leet apart, and the fourth, acre "z teet a- day and, in due time, the three first acres were imnneu oui 10 inree siaiss in me : nut, and the fourth acre to two stalks in a hill.' The, number of stalks in each acre, if none had been missing, would have been as folldws : ' ; No. ljfikhv 4 feet 9,335 10,068 12,447 No. 2,' 3j by 3 feet " No. 3, 3 by 3 feet No. 4,p by 2j ieet, two in a hill 9,956 I Phis crop, of course, suffered equally from tjie drought with that above describ ed, and. having more outside rows, was more depredated upon by t,he crows, and did nq stand quite aswelji or with such perfect regularity, as the other in the hills. Making the proper allowances tor these causes, I did not calculate -upon quite as large a product as from the other field. tTpon gathering and accurately .measur ing each acre separately, I found the pro duct as follows: No. 1, 69 bushels; No. 260 bushels; No. 3r 69 bushels; No. 4. 7 jj bushels. Thus the acre planted 3 by 4 -iectj produced nearly as well as that planted 3J feet each way ; and the latter produced the same quantity as that plan letl. 3 feet by 3 feet ; and the acre plan-tcd-3 by 2j feet, and only two stalks in a hill, produced 8i bushels more than either J of the! others. From this exneriment. it Would seem that, in the best of ground, where three stalks are intended tqbe left i a hill, the distance each way should not lie less than 3 feet ; and that, where it & intended to plant more closely, not more than two stalks should be left in a hill. The acre planted 3 by 2 J feet produced decidedly the best ; but it was too close Jne .vvay to be ploughed with convenience. Thus planted, there were 8 square feet for each hill. If planted 3 feet each way, there would be I nine square feet to each liiltand the distance would be more con venient for ploughing Ioth ways. I in-line to think that planting 3 feet each way, with two stalks in a ''hill.' would be the most eligible. for the convenience and product. As a single experiment is not very satisfactory, 1 intend, if I am spared, tb repeat, the experiment next year on the same ground, laying it off one way 3 feet, and the other 4. 3 . and 3 feet ; thinning the last to two stalks in a hill, and the oth er two acres to three stalks in a hill. In this last experiment, I planted the same linil AT AAHIl nCt in lliA n t I. ! U1U UJ VUlil CiO III IUC UlUCr. yf A. BEATY. Prospect Hill, Dec. 1, 1844. v . -Bridgeport, Januaiy 18, 1845. Dear Sir : I hace the honor to acknow- o the jlOth instant, and hasten to make a short reply to your inquiries relative to the amount of corn raised per! acre on my farm, j - " I First, the mode of culture. I invariably turn oyer with a heavy subsoil plough, in the early part of November,; some 8 or 1 0 acres qfi)ld meadow land, and roll the fur rowslown with a heavy roller ; leaving ttie fro'st during the winter to destroy all 6vi4.uuij iur mpl-us, occ, anu tneioiiow itig sprihg cross-pjpugh it well, aud har row u iwice. . i Second. The manure 1; innlrft'r.nrc;o of onejthird creek mud, or decomposed ve getable matter, one-third stable or barn yard manure, one-third unslaked fine lime, taken from the bottom of the kiln. A Tly In planting. I never use more iuii uo Kmiiis oi me Dest selected corn for the. hill ; and as the plaht shows itself tfrr??SR the, ground, thereby allowing the abtionof the moisture of the atmosphere, or rain, to run the .leached.substance to the root of the plants. In pursuing this course-I find, on the first cleansing, that Mht a fpwrifnny, (so called), nubbins show themselyesl ; Again, I have, from experi encc, fpund it unnecessary to hoe my corn tAree times. 'All that is necessary to make it propagate well is to keep it clean from weeds,; and Jet the bracers or holders strike wdl into the '. ground, A I have in the hill ted Jieft dung ; and unless very great care is taken to use buf about a gill to the HH Vvil assuredly destroy all growth r; Foukhly.i plant from three to four feet apart, and have never failed to raise from each hill from Tour to seven, well grown ears. In the summers of 1842 and iP v P nt,cd nine acres of 'cortisone- haipLong Island yellow, and one-half Long Island white. We had a contest at our agricultural society and feeling, as I did, that my competitors we re behind nie; Vp.Ucl in a sworri surveyor ; hemeasur ed two, acres, one -of white and one ot yellow y and with the aid of my men it 6ri,tu uu uuuer wis suvervision correotjv. nieasured. .The result was-? A: ' 1x 1,1 ...t.:w. rrnt.npt- acre of well-grown! ears 230 bushels; the yellow, on the same ground, 224 bushels of cars to the acre ; and this result took the first premium at our society.- Again: the present year, I had on low cold ground about eight acres of corn, arranged and planted similar to my statement above. . The result is, that it yielded 121 1-10 bushels of shelled corn per acre, i I am certalh that our old State of Connecticut contains thousands of acres of unimproved lands, that, with proper culture, wilt yield as much or more what is denominated the fertile lands of "Aain t I find that the jand of this State isllcalculated lor the culture of oats; and. in lieu thereof, I have substituted barley,! which yields a fraction more in quantity to the acre than will the best of oats ; and it will weigh peHbushei about 47 to. 54 pounds ; and the straw ii of greater value for all ' purposes than any : other j and I may, with truth, remark that it does not reduce the strength of the soil so much as oats, by at least some 20i per centvpYou would really do pur old tubborn farmers of Connecticut an essential service, by urg ing them to vary their culture, not only in their land, but eveir description of their stock. On the bottomlands of the State J lying on the sound, there! is no necessity for complaint, for the yield will well com pensate the husbahdmariS The great dif ficulty arises from the almost entire im practicability of improving the ideas of our old tarmers to any tning inai promi ses the smallest advantage 1 or improve-! ment. Ii Limej with the decomposed vegetable matter taken from our creeks, forms a va luable manurCf and is at the command of almost every farmer in this vicinity. The use of plaster is given up on our grounds here, owing to the atmosphere being too salt for its use. My timothy meadows yielded me last year an average of 3 tons per acre ; and if the pnsuing summer should be more moist, I fhope to have 3 tons per acre. 1 As you requested, I hajve given you a hasty scrawj ; but I beg you to be assur ed that there is no difficulty in producing in our vicinity rising 125 bushels of shell ed corn to the acre, but bare 'must be ta ken to produce it. f a j With sentiments of regard, yours, &e. I VEHD1NE ELLSWORTH. Hon; H. L. Ellsworth. A jffinisler at a Ball. -Having received card to attend "Washington's Birth Day," Feb. 21, 1845, Rev. Samuel Marsh and wife were escorted into the ball room,in Plainfield VcrL mont, between seven and eight o'clock in the evening, and as they were pwalking up to the music, were introduced to the company by one of the managers.! Mr. Marsh opened his bible and proceded to address the assembly on the subject of dancing, and quoting scripture to it. At the close, he propose singing a psalm, Together let us sweetly liye, " and scores ot sweet voices joined in singing, as proposed, Mr. Marsh kneeled and prayed ; after? which he and his wife were seated! and his Bible were opened before the company! while a large num. ber danced a cotilion. The reverend gentle, man, in a card, states that jj" he left the room because a storm was coming up, and that, through the whole he and his wife were very kindly treated." We can very readily imagine such a scene in the quiet villagesji of New England, where a bail has none of those evil concomitants which are the effects of crowded cities. Tliree Children Frozen to Death. A touch ing incident is thus related by the Auxiliare Bre ton : ! "During the last few days pfcold, three young children ot the town of-Baines had been sent out by their parents to gather dead wood. These poor infants lost themselves in the wood, and night came on without their being able to rcfind their road. The eldest, scarce six yeaTs old, sought some shelter, and there huddled up his little brothers ; he then stripped himself of his waistcoat, and covered them with it, and made them a rampart" from the wind with his body. It was in this conditpn that they were found the next morning, all three frozen todeath." " 3 : r . A Singular Cure for the Headache I had a voilent headache, which the! captain undertook to cut e, and he certainly succeeded. Ho made me sit down, seized hold of pay caput, and, pla cing a thumb on each of myj temporal arteries, pressed them in such way as to almost stop the whole circulation of my blood. He then direct ed mo to heave as long a sigh a3 I could, and I walked Into dinner completely cured. I have seen ladies in this country, whilst suffering un. der such malady, appear with a wafer stuck on each temple, which, I presume, was only a mil der way than my friend, the captain, employed of driving off this tormentor. -My Adventures.
