The seed should be de- posited in furrows struck as deep as the ground is ploughed, and lightly covered with loose earth, if too much earth is thrown; upon it there is danger of its rotting in cold wet weather, which sometimes succeeds the season of planting. By this mode of planting the plants are moie 3rmly fixed in the earth, the roots striking deep draw a greater supply of nourishment to support them, thev are likewise more secure from drougnt which often proves very destructive to the Corn crop, the stalks will not generally grow as tall as those which are planted superficially, but are thicker and stronger and produce larger ears. The best process of cultivation is, that which preserve a level surface, and most effectually destroy the weeds. This is most effectually done by drawing a large harrow over the rows, (the depth ofthe furrows will preserve the plants from injury,) the weeds should be carefully removed, and the furrows filled up around the plants as they become large e- nougu to bear it.

If this operation is well done, (and much ofthe success of the crop depends upon its being so.) one ploughing will be sufficient; in doing this the earth should be thrown to the corn, but care should be taken not to ridge it, which is very injurious, as it carries off the rain from the corn which requires a plentiful supply of moisture, especially when earing. Many farmers pursue a quite different course, just skimming the surface, and planting theirseed almost ca the too ofthe ground: the consequence is that the roots, unable penetrate the hard earth beneath, afford but or fc oo fc accounts, to call and settle the same FOR I pursuance of an Order of the Orphans Court of Adams county, the subscribe!

What seems to have led to this practice is the cultivation of new ground where it could not be ploughed deep, the strength of the soil produces abundantly with any kind of culture. The superficial farmer continues skimming the surface until it becomes exhausted, when supposing the land worn out he abandons it to wiser cultivators.
