summ' dup ln tue following rules, which, marked
as hey att by good sense, We feel a pleasure IN
transferring 10 The columns of the Culuyalor.

'he tau oT winter preceding if the weather be su..
table; Il not, Il should be ploughe IN February.
OF at least IN March. ltnot level, j, should be

before planting.


= II s'ub0le or corn ground, no siubbIe or
stalks should be removed, uuess taken to the
manure ple-shoud be poughed SIX inches deep
aud Il not mellow should be narrowed.


s. hhbe small the corn should be narrowed.
and the ground should afterwards be kept loose
ana mellow by the repeat use OF the cu',i,alor


4, On sod ground plough should never be
used m cultivation of corn.


D. On other ground The plongh should never
be used alter The ,ools have extended any distance
from the hills, aud OF no time unless mdlspensa.
by necessary to prevent the ground from baklug,


o. FI0reS or small roots OF the corn should no,
be cut; the cutting off of every fibre depryes
The stalk OF some part ot lis nouu,hment.


7, The earth should not be thrown ish upon

;, Inc ground in the cultivation Of corn should
be kept as level as possible, to permit the roots
to extend IN every direction, and 10 retain mos
i1re. Rldgng cuts the roots drains the water
from the hills; exposes more surface to the &C
ton OF the sun, aud Is Therefore injurious 10 crop
in dry season.
