Btnum, Esq : I have jgst received the enclosed letters, on the subject of selecting' and planting the best kind of Seed Corn .- and as I take a deep and abid ing interest in every thing appertaining to farming, I hope you will publish them for the purpose of dif fusing all the information you can to enable oui Farmers (who constitute the mam pillars ot uov don't know how it is but I am oyer head and ears in debt. I owe the baker, the butcher, the landlord and the grocer, and the worst of it is, I cannot pay them. How do you manage to keep up f J nomas. I must tell you in my own roundabout way, so you must not get out of patience, it it is a long story. As 1 find the monev,I must begin with my self first, although my wife is the main stay of the management. First, I tend strictly to my business, keep out of tav erns and grog shops both day and night, and spend all my evenings at home. Anu an me money I earn lgive to my wife, and she lays in all our food and clothing. I take some credit, to myself tor making such a choice ; she was a tir dy, active and thrifty irl, and I thought she would make a good poor man's wife Nobody ever saw her with silk gowns or tawdry artificials ; but she always look ed as sweet, as clean and as fresh as i rose-bud just opening into full bloom. used to feel very proud of her, when gallanting her from church on Sundays her cottage bonnet, which she alway bleached herself, was as white as any her what I could with anu other corn I have ever seen. I generally plant the corn ? about we nrsi 01 amy, and place the hills five feet apart -eacn way, anu have two stalks in a hill. S I can supply you with all the seed you may need,, and I suppose I have ncrw in my corn-house fifty, & perhaps more stalks with the corn on them as it grew in the field, and none with less than our, I and some 'six or seven, ears on them. I 'will with! pleasure send you some of these stalks, and also some seed corn, if I can eet an oDDortunitv. ! ' Earlv last snriner. I let George Law, Esq. of Bal- limnrn nitw' bnvft noma of this seed com : he sent it to his friend in Illinois, with instructions how to manage it. A few weeks jsince he informed me that the increase was one hundred and' twenty bushels on an acre ,- that there was no corn in Il linois like it, and that it produced more fodder than anv other kind. I have sucblied many friends with seed, corn, but some of them have planted it with other corn, and will, I fear, find it degenerate. I have latelv been inauired of. if this corn was nOt rtrlhah other kinds 1 It is rather earlier certainly not later. Corn planted in moist or wet soils will not ripen so quica as inai wnicu is plant ed on a dry soil. In the former, there will.'be found jnore dampness in the cob, although the kernel may appear equally ripe in both. In the two last years the wet seasons have injured much Corn that was too early " lofted" or housed. I believe I have answered most of your inquiries. I hope I have not exaggerated I have no motive hnrrn i. mv'nrincinal mod.: Should I fail to send lady's in thtt land, and tied under you some seed this spring, -I will next summer ga- chin with a single baiul of green ribbon; ther some stalks with the corn, fodder, ana tasseis, her nicely ntted caiico or gingham llreSS and all. as they crow, and send to you, that you may judge yourself of the superiority of thia, over the common kind of corn.

It was a happy day, James, when I married her ; but I have seen still hap- pier ones since, lor every day that 1 live I have cause to thank God for such a treasure as she is to me. It is an old saying, James, but a true one, that a man and his wile must both null one end ten! more provident and thougiitiui than i was, and I have found the benefit of it She was always looking ahead, and laying up some- thing or otner tor winter, which you Know is iiivariably more or less hard times with poor people.

We manage this part pretty easily, for we do without it. Wefye bought no flour by the pound or barrel, sance it got above six dollars. We can't attord a high er pripe than this. James.- Oh I I suppose you do as we do, live! on baker's bread. . Thomas. You are mistaken there.- James, I will give you a notion of our dai ly fare, and you will then. see one reason why we find it easy to get along, ajul we livei well too, I tell you. We rise pretty early fur the winter time, for you know the days are so short that we have to make the best of the workins hours.

It is eaten mostly from habit, and to me it seems to be a sin to eat when you are not hungry, but only for eating sake.
