Amos Gore, of New-Jersey, exhibited samples of very large, 

 heavy, white flint corn, grown by him in New-Jersey. I never 

 tread on my corn ; I use a scratcher or cultivator having but few 

 teeth j I plough first away from my corn, then to it; I use a sub- 

 soil plough pretty early in the season in the middle of my rows, 

 a foot deep ; the roots are not then in the way ; I seldom use the 

 hoe much ; there is no occasion for it in my method of cultivating 

 corn ; I leave three stalks in each hill, and four feet every way 

 between hills. 



The Club called Mr. Gore's seedling potato the " Gore Potato." 

 The subject of forest trees and plants for next meeting. 



Adjourned to Tuesday next, at noon. 



H. MEIGS jSecretary.
