Great yield of Com On a large scale.
Fountain Rock, July 15, 1822,
dear sin In compliance witii tny
promise, I now give voti the result of an
experiment I made on a field of thirty
one acres, a part of this fuiin, which was
cultivated in corn the lust yeur.
The field had been alternately in com,
oab, wheat and clover, the four preceding
years, the crops of torn and oats were
nothing remarkable, but the crop of wheat
was unusually great, owing 1 suppose to
the quantity of manure that was carried
out on the field after the oats were cut off.
In the fill of 1820, a large itock of hogs
was turned on the clover, the whole of
which they rooted tip and entirely de
stroyedthis was done with a view to de
stroy the worm. In the month of March
following, the field was highly manured
with stable and barn-yard manures the
las1. 0f that month and beginning of the
next, it was broke up with one of Mur
ray's two-horse ploughs, (Peacock's pa
tent,) and harrowed with a l.irge Ltcak
harrow. It was then laid out in rows or
drills, three and a half feet apart, and the
corn planted in the drills one foot apart.
The planting commenced on the 2Cih ol
April, and was completed on the first (Jay
of May. Before the corn citne up, one
half the field was sprinkled on the drills,
either with ur.bhickcd ashes, or the scra
pings of the roads through the farm, and
what manure could be collected from the
wood heaps at the house and servants'
quarters.
The corn came up remarkably stiong,
and regular, and received not the least
injury from the worm, although its devas
tations were general through the neigh
borhood. When about four or five inches
high, it was ploughed with a bar-share
plough, throwing the land from the corft,
at which time it was hoed and thinned,
leaving the stalks about one fool apurt
about ten days after, it was again plough
ed with the bar-share plough, throwing
the land hack to the corn a few days af
ter, it was twice ploughed with the double
shovel plough this was the tiitiie culti
vation it received.
The com was gathered at the usuaf
time, and great pains were taken in the
gathering and measuring by my manager.
The whole Vin measured by hint in a
scaled barrel kept at my mill for that
purpose. The result was three hundred
and ninety -six barrels of ears of good
corn. The field was surveyed this sum
by a sworn surveyor of this county and
his report was thirty-one acres, including
rock brt iks, which he estimated to con
tain one acre, so that it may be fairly sta
ted from actual t.ieasurement both of the
field and product, at three hundred and
ninety-sis barrels from thirty acres of
land, or thi teen barrels, or sixty-skbf sh
cls and a fraction, to the acre. The com
is of tuC )ei!jw flint k'uidi Wtlii a led Cob.
There was nn evident difference in the
field; the half that was sprinkled on the
drills before the corn came up, being de
cidedly the best. The season was un
commonly propitious the corn never suf
fering for rain, except for a short pcriexl
in the month of August, just before it be
gan to fill.

enabling us to become conscious of our
own abilities, and of the necessity of rous.
ing our energies into action, in order that
we may assume our destined rank in the
world r! letters. It is our intention to
Iptrntout seme of the causes which ob-
st rtict the progress of literary knowledge
in this country.
One of the most cotispo umus cause is,
the anxious Mdiciiude Displayed in tbc
rijision of vs ..1th, which inlluenret
the "i' it mas, tti i nr population. ('om
mercial itucres's clash with the cultivation
hi th- tiii'i l. i'i'1 in eifeic essentially
with the biigld prospects seen in the
prospective, whtrn anticipating our future
literary fame. Ibis cupidity imtrowj
the soul, and by prompting individu,,! to
pursue object which have p'.-cuniary ends
alone in view, leaves no kisuie fur inte l
lectual improvement ; conscfiuetiik the
nobler f. t ulties become 'oi pid. and genius
and imagination being repressed, are not
t inert) to soir to their native region c,
sunlimiiy. Another cause impeding sti-
einc in her march, is the little encourage
mem given to literary works ; as u palpa
ble instance of which, we may niriitiriri
the numerous unsuccessful ellorts made
to publish Scientific as well as .Miscella
neous Journals, in this country. That
this net'lectis not attiibutable to the want
of intrinsic merit in the works themselves,
may be proved by comparing them, as far
as tbev have been published, with thosQ
of a similar kind, which have an exten
sive circulation in the transatlantic states.
Indeed, although our literary productions
arc comparatively few, I will be hold to
say, that among those few, there are
some which lose nothing when contrasted
with those of Europe, either for genuine
wit, correct taste, or for chaste and c!a-,ik
style. We have anothercnuse in the i.eir-
Ictt shown to the preparatory education
of most of our young men, who a;;- 'es
lined for the liberal professions. It is ev
ident that they must enter upon tiitir pur
suits under great disadvantages- if their
minds hac not been disciplined by regu
lar study, and particular! . if they do not
possess that clcmi Mary Swivie!r. w hHi
consti u'es the foundation iip.m wl ich,
alone, they need nope to neet the supr
stnuiure of their future fame. Jiesides,
many pursue these studies without oiiler
or perseverance, and ccnseqiicn'iv the
knowledge they obtain of the in is but su
perficial. When we reflect upon these
circumstances, the inference to be diawn
is very natural; that such characters, after
entering upon the duties of their profes
sions, cannot be actuated by that kind
of spirit, which would induce them to
devote themselves to any of the sciences,
with a view to their elucidation or the ad
vancement of literature in general. Thus
the talents and labours of those who, from
the nature of their avocaiions, ought to
be engaged in such pursuits, are lost to
the world. The last cause I shall men
tion at present, is the want of concert and
collective perseverance among the vota
ries of science und learning.

Mr. JiuktiU; 1 believe it i Voltaire
who says that thr publishing of history
does not depend on its irwh. I he ques
tion the publisher asks, is- It' tit i.-ii?"
which biings te my recoileefion somo
circumstances relative to donlon's Histo
ry of the American Revolution.
In the year IT8 I bcrame a-cjtiuintcd
with an F.nglish gentlem.n, hose nrem
dices against our country were as violent
as they had been, previous to his e migra
tion, in lavor of K. One day, when ho
was inveighing most bitterly against our
conduct and institutions, he mentioned
with great asperity the turrinr and ftatf:
rring of John Malcom (a British custom
house.officer) before the retolution, whose
only crime, he said, was chastising an im
pudent boy. I told him tlut, if Mr. Mal ¬
com had not have drawn his sword on the
boy, no no ice would have been taken of his
conduct. I did not, however, attempt to
justify the deed, as it was condemned bv
good men of htn parties ; yet I insisted
that the character of the town or country
ought not to be implicated, as it was done
' y j . w biiuueio psrt'
sons in ';ju;r, who, if they had been
discovered, would have been amenable
to, and punished bv, the laws. I then
related to him the conduct of Col. Nesbit,
of the 47th Uritish regiment, who caused
an innocent countryman to be tarred and
leathered, and carted fiubliety through the
streets at noin tfcj-, with a guard of Rren-
adiers, and the band of the regiment play
ing Yun'cer Doodlr, and himrlft the he ad
of the party, in defiance of those laws he
was sent to protect and enforce. My
Kng'.ish friend seemed lo think I was
mistaken in the fienon of Col Nesbit,
and thought it impossible that CJmelot
one of hit Mijesty's regiments could be
guilty of such an outrageous act. A few
dsvs after this conversation, we met at
Dr. Gordon's, fthe author of the History
of the Amr i-iean Revolution, who then
lived at Hoxbtiry. I introduced the sub
ject aain, when Dr. Cordon spoke of
