Sir, Much lias been said in your val uable paper about the cutting of corn in the fall. I have, for fifteen years past, cut mine ofi, and shall continue to do so. When your corn will bear the pulling of blades and taking: the tops, you may then cut and put it on its buts, and as much together as will let it stand firmly in cocks, keeping the lower part a little open to admit air. My system is to have no more cutters than I have hands to fol low and cock, as fait as it is cut down. If your corn is late, and you fear it will be injured by frost, by placing it in cocks it is secured against it. There is less danger in Corn shrivelling, managed in this way, th-n pulling your blades and ta king the tops in the usual mode. My corn is husked in the field and the cocks doubled, and so they stand until fed away dining the winter and ?prin the quan tity of feed for your stock is more than doubled, and the manure more than tre bled the whole is carried out in April and May on my tobacco land?, and plough ed in and the crop much irnproyed by it. My mode of feeding is to draw in as much into the horseyard as will last the horses for the night in the morning the cattle go in and are feeding through the day, much of the stalk is eaten this is continued as long as the fodder lasts, and then we feed our hay on the top. Straw ought not to be given to your stock in the same yard it will prevent the stalks from being cut fine by your. stock. My corn loft is fourteen feet in width will hold about 450 barrels, and for soine years I had much corn moulded and in jured in it I placed a ventilator through the middle ; since then I have never seen an injured ear in ihe house. There have been strong prejudices in the neighbour hood against my system they are wear ing off, and it is right they should, as I raise five times the manure mv neigh bors do, who pursue the old way of secur ing their fodder and feeding. Your fod der will not bear ricking or putting in large bulk in a house it will injure in either waj let it stand in the field and feed it away in the manner mentioned. If your cocks are kept on their buts the fodder will not injure I speak from ex perience. Those who will go on in the old track ought not to let the dew fall on their tops in the field, but take them out as they are cut, and thatch the same day, leaving each end of their house open that the air may circulate freely by doing so they will cure quite green and sweet If they lay in the sun and dew they will be much injured by sun-burning, Sec a wet spell while they are on the ground is ruinous to them and the blades also. A MARYLAND PLANTER. To the Editor of the American Fanner. Fait fax County, July 2, 1S21. Mu. Skinnzii, In your paper of the 15th June last, a communication from Mr. Minor, detail ing the management of a field for Corn r.nd the depredation committed by the Cut Worm, has called my attention, .... . . J nc preparation of this gentleman f for Corn gave him every right to expect a good crop and I have no doubt he will gather a good one if he persevered in re planting, umil the Worm ceased to dep ir.datc About 6 years past I prepared a j field of 10'J acres for Corn during the win- ter months and bv the 10h of May I had not more than one plant left out of! every hundred. I nevertheless continu ed to cultivate the land and replant it the Worm pursued me with so much in dustry, that before the corn could sprout, they would eat out the heart at the end of the first week in June, I began to de spair, for my harvest was nearly ready for the scythe, but feeling that the comfort of my family required of me another ef fort, I determined, in the language of the gamblers, " to shuffle up the cards, and take a new deal." I then treated the field as though it had never been planted, lay ing it into fresh squares and put from G to 7 grains into each square the weather became very warm and moist, the Worm disappeared, and a better, or earlier crop I never made since this, I have never despaired of making a crop of corn it is so powerful a plant, that in land deeply broken, and well separated, its progress to maturity bears seme comparison to the celebrated gourd vine of the Prophet Jo nah. If it be Mr. Minor's wish to avoid the Cut Worm entirely, he must break his land before November. My experience authorizes me to say that all the land bro ken in September, and to the 15th of Oc tober, will he free of Worm. Where ot- en are used to break land, I sec no reason why it should not be broken during the summer. L.and broken in July and Au gust, will be found to grow corn more promptly and vigorously than that broken in the winter. I stated to you, on a for mer occasion, that corn might be made by the use of the harrow, only, after the land was well opened and harrowed, be fore planting. I feci it to be my duty to call in this declaration, for although I have often made my crops in this way, it is an unsafe mode in the hands of inexperience permit mc, therefore, to recommend the use of Freeborn's small corn plough twice, before the introduction of the har row. Wishing you every success in your valuable paper, I am, Respectfully, A VIRGINIAN. TOIt THE WESTERN CAItOLINIAX. Liucolnton, N. C. July 16th, 1821. MESSRS. BIXtiUAM & WHITE : It has been some ten or fifteen years since I moved to Lincolnton : when I mov ed here, I was a poor man. It is Hue, I had a wife, which was nearly my all ; how ever, I soon observed wc were among an industrious people. And the most ol our citizens were then in moderate cir cumstances ; our wives cooked their own victuals, washed their own clothes, and scoured their houses. And, Messrs. Edi tors, it would have surprised you to see how industrious those women were : It was then who could get breakfast soonest of a morning ; and often did I hear the breakfast horn before day, which seemed to say, arise, sluggard. Our wives could then dress in their petticoats and bed gowns, and those often of their own make. Thev seemed to vie with each other, who could go plainest, make the most cloth, Sec. Then, sirs, our village was in peace ; our men all busily employed : we had few idle street walkers, and no tea-parties. When night came, we could lie down in the sweets of conjugal felicity : we had no drunken stories to tell, or tea-party quar rels to relate. In this simple life, what happiness did we enjoy ! But alas I how changed. Now we have street walkers and tea-parties in abundance. After this introduction, Messrs. Kditors, I wish to lay my case before you, and ask your advice how I shall proceed. As I before stated, we were poor when we moved to this place. But my wife be ing a very industrious woman, and I en deavouring to do my part also, we in a short time, by hard work and a little econ omy, gathered a little property, and after a while made what you might call a decent appearance, uut my clear wite was al ways a woman of what the people call a proud mind, and often would over shoot herself, which would frequently throw me into difficulties. However, we made out tolerably until Mrs. came to town. Mrs. was raised to tea-parties, and high company ; and, fortunately for her, she was able to support it. But it was not Ion'jr before mv wife and Mrs. form- cd an acquaintance ; and, as the old adage is, " bitdsof a feather will fiock together;" so it was with my wife and Mrs. , al- though there was a great disparity ofj property ; yet they appeared to have spir its congenial to each other. My wife was soon invited to see Mrs. and take a cup of tea and have an evenings chit chat. My wife, fond of the invitation, could net help telling me of the company she short ly was going to keep. My dear, suvs I, I am truly glad you are noticed by Mrs. - ; but I fear this tea-par'y business will not do so well. 4i Whv suvs mv wife, " what harm is there in a cup of tea ? very true, my dear, there is no harm in a cup of tea alone ; but of course if you go" and rake tea with Mrs. , you, in turn, must invite her to come and take a cup with you. Well, if the rest cf your neighbour women come to see you, you must treat them in the same way, or you will give offence. "Ah," says my wife, fci you are always scar'd before you are hurt. I see no harm in these things." I observed, you will see where it wiil end ; you will have nothing but tea-parties, tea quarrels, Sec after a while ; and more than that, Mrs. is able to uphold the like, but we are not; the consequence hu we shall be broke up, and people will laugh at us for being such fools. " Ah," sayii my wife, " you are only afraid I shall keep better company." 1 ke care, says I, my dear, that the smiles of the rich do not prove a curse to the poor. But all this hod no effect. My wife went. Tea-parties were introduced in the place. 1 do not like this thing of disputing and quar reling with my wife, so I said no more. But, Messrs. Editors, what has been the consequence ? why, iirs, you might bee half a dozen women gathered together at my house of an evening taking tea ; md this, sirs, my wife often will do, to the no little expense of her neighbours. For you must e::pect by this time my credit is at a low ebb : the consequence is my wife is often out of sugar, tea, coffee, but ter, eggs, Skc. Therefore, in order to have a tea party, she will borrow tea of this one, sugar of another, Sec. and she always takes care to be saving in paying up her borrow ed things ; and very seldom ever pavs c nough, and never too much. Were it not for this cunning tripk of my wife, I should have been sent to the brick house long ago. Indeed, Messrs. Editors, we have become so extravagant, I see I cannot stand it long. Pound-cake has become almost as plenty at my table as biscuit used to be. We have now as many pounds a year of preserves, as we used to have of sugar. To give you a little specimen of extravagance in my wife, she not long since had what we call a quilting; and in order to be up with the rest ot her neighbours, she makes up some 5 or 6 pounds of sugar in pound cake, and you may expect every thing else in propor tion. Now, Messrs. Editors, what would you conjecture of all this ? Why sirs, I am in debt to every body : my property mortga ged, and every one " calling me an easy silly fool.' And the ladies, who come and sip tea with my wife, kt call her proud and foolish ;" say " she lives above her abilities." Indeed, we are something like the drunkard in the tavern ; he buys for every body ; they drink on his bounty, and laugh at his folly. 1 hese things distract me, and in some of my fits of distraction, I wander off to the grog shop, and there try to get a little respite from my trouble. This is the way things are going on, and I have made this my last anchor of hope ; for I am in hopes youvwiir$end me a radical cure. I hope, Messrs. Editors, you will excuse my homcspbn language, as I am a poor man and a poorscholar. I am, shivery respectfully, yours, - SvV Tnuv Drvnt)M ! JOHN POORMAN" FCa THE WESTEIIX CAROI.T3fIA.N-. MESSRS. EDITORS : The article in your paper, some time since, respecting the additional facility with which bodies could be raised, by the application of the muscular powers of four or five men at the time of expiration, has excited considerable inquiry among the wiseacres and literati of the day. Some of them have gone so far as to insinuate that this secret and astonishing power can be usefully applied to agricultural purpo ses, viz : drawing cows out of the mire perpendicularly, so as not to endanger the loss of a tail or the dislocation of a leg, and clearing land of grubs and stumps, Sec. It is said that a celebrated American, while the French were running mad after every new theory that suggested itself to their wild imagination, inquired cf the Literary Academy of Paris why a fish, of ten pounds weight, put into a tub full of water, would not cause it to run over ? and that they commenced speculating im- metuateiy, witnout inquiring into tnc iact. It appears as if some one of that nation had designedly thrown this in our wav. to set us agog in revenge for the bon mot of our philosopher. " Quod nunc ratio est impetus ante fuit." After repeated trials of the experiment.
