Corn, Sweet or Sugar. 



Mais. Maiz. Viiax^. 



-Plant in hills three feet apart each way, and five or six kernels in a hill. Hoe often and draw 



soil up to the stems; break off side shoots. Make the 

 ground rich with well-rotted manure. Sown in drills, a 

 greater yield from a given surface will be obtained. The 

 best fertilizer is Thorburn's Complete Manure. By sow- 

 ing successive lots, and properly selected varieties, the 

 supply of Sweet Corn can be kept up until hard frosts 

 kill the plants.
