AGRICULTURAL.
Preparing for Farm Work.
Corn. To make large crops of corn on
uplands, taily plaining is essential lor a
Ihree-fold reason: 1st, because tlie crop liaJ
U longer period lor developing ; 2'l, ocean t
'iilHtiirit y i secured before t tit terrible heat
and " drouudiis of . Jul v ; ami .'idly, because
retardation ol rowlli above ground, in early
spring, i attended with unusual growth be
low ground. The first two points are self
'eyident; a IVW word's iii the third. Corn
'belongs to the same family as the small
grains, and its habits, in 'some respects, are
"Very similar to theirs. Universally in our
climate the small grains yield better crops
'vhen sown in the Fall or earJy W'uiter than
twhe'n sown in the Spring. liming AVinier
their growth above ground may be verv
trifling; they may be closely grazed, and
still the above statement holds good. The
explanation is easy it is simply this, that
whilst t be cold or the pasturing holds in
chey); the' leaves and giems above ground
the roots are constantly growing and multi
plying ramifying' through the soil and
Peeking appropriate food for the develop
'meni ol' the plant. In other words, root
growth' preponderates over stem and leaf
-growth, which is. always a healthier condi
tion than the reverse. It is well known to
Vvery nurseryman that, in the case of decidu
ous plants as our ordinary Iruit trees
root growth continues more or less through
the Winter, wljiUt there is none of the parts
a'J?.ytJ ground.' Trees taken up in the Fall
'and heeled in, will sometimes, in a lew
'weeks, show quite a development of new
roots.
As compared with late planted corn, early
.planted has a smaller stalk, but larger ear.
Upon those planting for large yields, we es
pecially urge, theiefore, the importance of
early plaining. Let it not be forgotten that
the earlier the planting, the shallower should
jthc seed be buried. Warmth and dryness
' the two conditions the most difficult to
secure early in the season are then most
likely to be found near the surface. To pro
tect from birds and insects also, soak the
'seed in water, and afterwards add enough
"tor to coat each grain very slightly, when
the mass has been thoroughly mixed. Too
much tar will prevent absorption of mois
ture by the seed, and prevent germination
taking place. Get the best seed to be had
in your vicinity. Corn does not deteriorate
from being cultivated many years in the
same locality. Where one is seeking an
earlier variety, he may advantageously pro
'cufe seed from the North, but for the main
'crop home varieties are best. For corn no
jnufnure within reach surpasses cotton seed.
We think, however, that it may be improved
by manipulation, keeping in view the char
acter ot the sou and Us previous treatment.
In stiff laud, or in grey land with clay sub
soil near the surface, experience has shown
"that superphosphate added to cotton seed
.'improves them for (torn 100 pounds to 20
JMsbels ot seed. If the land also has been
nighly manured, in picioiis years, with lot
or stable manure, salt may be added with
good effect, say 50 pounds salt to 20 bushels
seed and if the soil is at all disposed to be
Mry or thirsty, it is well lo add 100 pounds
plaster to the same quantity of seed. It is
How too late to campost, and the cotton seed
ought to be crushed or killed by moderate
jheating. Thisshould be done insmall piles,
that the healing may be easily watched and
stopped before it reaches the point of doing
liarni.- It is only alter putrefactive iermen
"(atlon sets'iu (shown by unpleasant odors)
'and the heat becomes great, that any appre
'ciab'lJ hiss of valu ible gasses irccuis.
BeJdiny Cotton Laud. When no manure
is applied, or ordinary commercial fertilizer
is used, bedding of cotton land may be ad
vantageously continued this month. lied
the lighter lands first, and leave the stiff for
the last, that they may ecape, if possible,
compacting rains. AY here washing can be
Vuarded against, high beds are decidedly
the" best, as they admit of being cut down
just in advance of planting lime, leaving a
-fresh, smooth surface to receive the seed.
"An ordinary triangular harrow, with the
teeth set, some short and some long, so as
to conform to the general outline of the bed,
will do this rapidly and well. The impor
tance of a good stand cannot be overestima
te d; and hardly any trouble or labor, which
tends to secure it, can be considered un
reasonable or expensive. If the lops of one's
cotton beds are cloddy or encumbered with
rocks or turfs ol grass, the opening plow
cannot make a fuirowof uniform depth, and
home of the seed will inevitably be covered
too shallow or too deejj. This we try to ob
viate by shaving ijowu the bed with the
arpw, as jjbave.
Putting in Commercial Fertilizers. Iu
some respects this work is best done with
cotton planters; these can be guaged to dis
tribute it with perfect uniformity, and from
discharging it near the ground, avoid its
being blown off by wind. The chief ohjee
tiou to their work is the concent nil ion of
the manure in a very narrow line at the
ojloin of the drill. A coulter following
fh'e 'plaitlW 'would 'mix lite fert iliaci's with
the soil, and Uiis would be a decided im
provement. Especial care should be taken
to put the manure deep enough lo feed the
cotton plant and not the grass it should be
at least th,rce inphes below the surface,
.TUis is regulated by richness and depth
of soil, and the presence or absence of vege
table mal ter the richer, deeper and inorp

IIOKSES IxTKKFERlStt. III OI10 of the
numbers of your valuable journal some
weeks ago, the question was asked how to
keep a horse from interfering. Many differ
ent kinds of shoes are adveitised to cure
the evil, but no shoe ever invented will pre
vent a horse from interfering. In nine cases
but of ten, unless the horse is very badlv
sliol,it is with the hoof cud not with the
shoe that he striked Of .course, a nail pro
truding in the slightest degree where it is
riveted will cut the fetlock of the other
leg; a scab form-- which is rubbed off, and
so on until the horse regularly interferes,
because the spot keeps swelling. Take the
shoe off a horse that interferes ami drive
him, and you will almost invariably find
blood on the hoof of the foot which strikes.
Intel fering is g nerally the result of weak
ness. It is also brought on by fatigue. A
horse will sometimes not interfere at all
until towards the end of p. long journey.
A long rest is one of tlfe surest cures. An
ordinary shoe, the same as on any other
foot, more oats, and less work, are also often
found to be satisfactory remedies, unless
the horse is a weed, and then nothing can
prevent the evil, as it is his ill hap which
causes the interfering.
US?"3 The best shape for fruit trees, accor
ding to the opinion of a recent convention
ol German poinologists, is the pyramidal.
This lorm is preferred on the ground that it
gives the minimum of shade, greatest
strength, production of better fruit and
fewer disadvantages from storms, weight of
snow, excess of fruit, &c.

What Not to Da 09 te Farm.
rp. f. Murphy, in the Pacific -Rural
Prcs?, gives his. brother farmers some good
hints under the head of 'Farmers Don't,"
several of which we copy :
Don't leave your implements vrh?re you
last used them, in. the middle of the field or
in the fence corner, after ihe season is over
for iheir use, to bleach and rust, with the
expectation of finding them in good order
ihe next year when needed.
Don'i feed your horses with much grain
immediately "Wore a hard drive; give a
full feed twelve hours before starting, and
then give them time to digest the food.
Don't beat horses about the head, or think
it a brave act to knock one down j yon. are
only a step above the brute and should re
ceive the same treatment.
Don't, when on your way to market, or
otherwise, drive at 2,40 gait and get your
horses hot, nor stop at every whiskey shop
and let them cool off. While you may be
eugaged in cards, and have your horses
hitched to a post, cold and hungry, perhaps
somebody may be watching at the gate anx
iously for your return home.
Don't get into debt and pay iuterest think
ing you will surely make it pay. It'sdoubt
fuT business and often ruins the brightest
hopes.
Don't neglect to keep a correct account
of your business .transactions for the farm
and household; what you sell, the price;
what you purchase, and from whom, and
what you paid for it ; the sales and expenses
of each branch, such as fowls, hogs, cattle,
horses, grain, fruit, etc. Try it for one year.

Mu. B. N. Smith, Charlotte, N. C Dear Sir : I
have used nearly every kind of Fertilizer sold in
your market, and would saj' that the Soluble Sea
Island Guano 1 bought from you last Spring gave
me better satisfaction than amr. I used it on bottom
and upland. It caused my bottom land to mature
and open better, and in view of the unfavorable
season it did more than was expected.
J. W. WILEY.
Southampton Co., Va., Oct 24, '74.
I used the Soluble Sea Island Guano last Spring
in cotton by the sUe of Patapsco Guano, Peruvian
Guano and Guanahana Guano, three rows of each,
the rate of 300 pounds to the acre, the result of
which I think is in favor of the Soluble Sea Island
Guano. Very respectfully, JOS. B. POPE.
