V Several years ago I paid a visit to the late doctor Charles A. Warfield of Anne Arundle County. -It was in tlio ninrttli if A iiitikI on entenns the lane that leads up to the house, on ray right, was the finest field off corn I had seen. It attracted my at- tention so much that I observed to the doctor that his corn crop, was superi- plied that be had just retted from Wf fit hnds inBerk- iey and Jefferson ccantus ;vnere e nQ corn e al to h,s own - .mt?. ere he . 1 L- ..lUAorl with his own i nat ne wa aoiwu. land poor as it might be .-thought,- and would not exchange it acre lor acre for the best esiate in Berkley county.

T ordered " the proportion ' of two bushels of " ashes to one bushel of plaster, mix " ed well to'jeiher, which was carried 'out in the field, and my little negro " boys, each with his bag of the mix " ture following the droppers, and with " a large oyster shell emptied the con " tents on the seed as it was dropped "and covered over; this and this " alone, said he, is the cause of my "corn being so much superior to any " you have seen." Recollecting this experiment, I was induced to try it, as did several of - my friends in Bal timore and Frederick counties, to whom I had communicated it; all of whom have received equal Denent from the experiment. Mr. Robert Carnaii stated to me that he had tried it on the poor knowles, in his corn field, and fou ml his . corn on them equal to his best ground. When I ani told why or how plaster acts, I will feel myself called upon to discover why it acts best when com bined with ashes; until then 1 may content myself with stating what has. happened in my practice, that others may benefit by a knowledge of the fact.
