INDIAN CoRN-All, or nearly all, the accounts
that are published of great products of Indian
corn, agree in two particulars, viz; in not using
the plough in the after culture, and in not earth
ing. or but very slightly, the hills. These re-
suits go to demonstrate, that the entire roots are
essential to the ygor Of the crop; and the roots, to
enable them to perform their functions as nature
designed, must be near the surface. If the roots
are severed with the plough, in dressing the crop,
the plants are deprived Of portion Of their nour-
lshment; and if they are buried deep by hilling,
the plant is partially exhausted in throwing out
new set near the surface, where alone thew
can perform their whole office. There is another
material advantage in this mode of cultivating the
corn crop-it saves vast deal of manual labor.
