 fore the piil)lic. 



The Corn Land of Mr. Clark was cultivated in 

 his usual method, without plovghing among the 

 Com, or making hills, — l)y the aid of ashes snd 

 plaster, and no otiier maniu'e used. The manage- 

 ment of 31r. Bowers is fully described in the papers 

 devoted to agricultme, and is the only true way to 

 ascertain the profit or loss of any land, in the n^er- 

 cantile way of debt and credit. His claim was pre- 

 sented in such a business-like form, that we ])re- 

 smne it must be gratifying to all lovers of system. 

 He has by diligent enquiry and examination, ob- 

 tained the experience of several corn growers, with 

 the view of jscertaining the cost of raising corn 

 with us, and then contrasting the same with the 

 culture and value of the same at the west; we 

 hope he will in due time, publish the result, be- 

 cause we feel confident it may tixcite our Farmers 

 to a more critical, systematic and profitable mode 

 of culture. And when our farmers shall avail 

 themselves of the very liberal bounties offered by 

 this Commoiiwealth, for the encouragement of the 

 manufacture of Silk and Bed Sugar, we trust the 

 complaint of hard times will seldom be heard. —

ExpERiME.NT WITH Ddtton Corn. — Wb Omit- 

 ted so much of the article, by Mr. Bowers, giving 

 the result of his experiment with Button Corn, 

 published last week, that perhaps the mode of con- 

 ducting the experiment is not plain. The roller 

 was used on the ground, and the seed prepared by 

 roiling in hot tar. The heat of the tar did not in- 

 jure the seed — it all came up. The corn was 

 planted in hills two feet and a half apart, and four 

 stalks in a hill. The corn was not tojjped, and was 

 cut up about the SOth'of Se|)t. 



This experiment of Mr Bowers is worth atten- 

 tion. He obtained, it will be recollected, 10'2 1-2 

 bushels on an acre, with little or no more labor and 

 expense, than is usually attending the cultivation of 

 an acre of corn, where but 40 bushels are harvest-
