Rotation. — We observe with pleasure, in ma- 

 ny parts of the country, an increased attention to 

 thorough farming, p.irlicularly to raising large 

 crops by copious manuring; but there is one es- 

 sential |ioint which is still greatly neglected, a 

 scneral and refriilar st/stem of rotation. The great 

 advantage which might result from this practice, 

 is very strikingly exhibited in a cornfield now 

 growing, a part of which was last season occu- 

 pied with a crop of ruta baga, and the remaindt'r 

 with corn. The whole field v^as equally covered 

 with manure, before the crop was panted. The 

 result is, that the part of the crop of corn growing 

 where the ruta baga stood, promises to be at least 

 double in amount that which fidlows the [lart of 

 the field occupied with corn last year, though it 

 had no other advantage whatever, over the other 

 part, than that of having been preceeded by a 

 crop properly adapted to a part of a course in ro- 

 tation. 



Suppose that on an average twenty-five per 

 cent, is gained by rotation, over the common prac- 

 tice; where this is not attended to ; that a liinner's 

 annual crops are worth one thousand dollars, and 

 that all hisexpi'nsesaresix hundred; his net prot- 

 its of course are four hundred ; if now his crops 

 are increased twenty-five per cent, by rotation, 

 his profits (no additional expenses whatever be- 

 ing in this case required,) are immediately raised 

 to six hundred and fifty dollars. It is believed 

 that the difierence in these two modes would gcn- 

 ertilly be much greater, if the best system of suc- 

 cession was attended to ; nor is this the only ad- 

 vantage; for while improper culture tends con- 

 stantly to impoverish soil, a good course of ro- 

 tation is constantly increasing its fertility.

Cdrious growth of Corn. — Mr Elisha Barnes 

 brought to our office on Monday, an ear of corn 

 of a good size, of the early white kind, which had 

 attached to it six other ears — seven ears in all on 

 one stem. We have seen corn grow in that way 

 before, but never before have we seen 7 ears un- 

 der one husk. 



If this is a sample of the growing crop of that 

 valuable grain, we may look for, not a mere good 

 crop, but for an abundant and overflowing supply 

 of corn. The last few days, the weather has been 

 pleasant and warm — encouraging the farmers in 

 respect to their growing corn,,of which a week or 

 two since, in consequence of the coldness of the 

 weather, they had almost despaired — the com 

 never looked better than it now docs, and a few 

 weeks of such weather as we have been blessed 

 with lately, will place it beyond the reach of in- 

 jury from frost. — .Middletoum Sentinel. 



Mai«moth SquASH.-By way of recording some- 

 thing more of the marvellous, we liave to state 

 that, on Tuesday last, we were shown a squash 

 that was bigger than a pumpkin, raised on the fiirm 

 of Mr N. G Carnes, at Nyack, in Rockland coun- 

 ty. It was of what are called the cocoa species, 

 two feet ten inches in length, and three feet four 

 anil a half inches in circumterencp, weiglling 46 

 1-4 pounds. It was presented liy Mr Carnes to 

 our from Major Hatch, the worthy and universal- 

 ly respected host of the Pougbkei-psie Hotel. —
