THE COST OF RAISING CORN
Reduced to Six Cents a Bushel.
As the time for planting corn
has nearly come, we want our
farming friends to read the follow
ing. A little extra manuring and
work pays handsomely. ^ Tn it.
A little extra manuring will -work
wonders in a grain crop and the
farmers will need good grain crops.
Yalce of Experiment.—"When
I was a little boy on my fatli-
0i*’g f a rm, I onee made a little
experiment on my own account,
and carried it through secretly,
for the purpose of enjoying the
surprise it might create. \\ ith
this view, as father got through
planting his corn, I selected and
marked off, unknown to him, a
small space near the centre of the
field. To each stalk <>f com plant
ed on this place I gave special at
tention, for the purpose of find
ing out how much each grain
planted could be made to pro
duce by giving it an extra manure
and extra hoeing. When the
corn was gathered, the difference
between my pet stalks and the
rest of the field attracted my
father’s attention, and I remem
ber how puzzled lie was in trying
to account for it. When at
length I disclosed the secret, he
instantly inquired how much ex
tra work and manure I had ap
plied. Tell me this exactly, said
he; and I can tell you the value
of the experiment. I told him I
had simply doubled wliat lie had
given on the rest of the field. Af
ter examining the result and com
paring it with'the rest of the field
he found that his yield was at the
rate of 44 bushels to the acre* and
and mine at the rate of 69. Now,
said he, if extra culture and ex
tra manuro are good for single
stalks, it must be good for the
whole crop. So the next year he
adopted my plan for the whole
crop and found that the gain Was
even larger, by several bushels,
than in my experiment; and he
also found that the cost of each
bushel was reduced to six cents.

Fish and Meat as Food.
There is some danger of the
fish question falling out of memo
ry. This is not to ■ be tolerated
after the interest which has been
excited, and for some time main
tained, iu connection with this
important phase of the food prob
lem. Whatever may be the nu
tritious value of fisli as food—and
we believe that to be very great—
it must be evident that a full and
cheap supply of fish would react
so as to produce a lowering of the
price of butchers’ meat. The
“purveyors’’ as they like to be
called, are encouraged, and, in
truth, enabled to keep up the
price of flesh because there is
nothing to compete with it as a
staple of the common food of the
people. A revival of the old and
healthy habit of living largely on
fish, would place the meat supply
on an entirely new footing. This
is manifest on the face of the
facts; bvt what may not bo equal-
lyapparent, though it is scarcely
less noteworthy, is the considera
tion that nervous diseases and
weaknesses increase in a country
as the population comes to live
on the flesh of warm-blooded ani
mals. This is a point to which
attention lias not been adequate
ly directed. “Meat”—using that
term in its popular sense—is high
ly stimulating, and supplies pro
portionately more exciting than
actually nourishing pabulum to
the nervous system. The meat
eater lives at high pressure, and
is, or ought to be, a peculiarly
active organism, like a predatory
animal, always on the alert, walk
ing rapidly, and consuming large
quantities of oxygen, which are
imperatively necessary for the
safe disposal of his disassimilated
material. In practice we find
that the meat eater does not live
up to the level of his food, and as
a consequence lie cannot or does
not, take in enough oxygen to
satisfy the exigencies of his mode
of life. Thereupon follow many,
if not most, of the ills to which
highly civilized and luxurious
meat-eating classes are liable.
This is a physiological view of the
food question, and it has bearings
on the question of fish supply
which ought not to be neglected.
—Lancet.
the tobacco plant.
The cultivation of the tobacco
crop ought to begin as soon as
the plants have recovered from
the shock of transplanting and
show signs of growing. The
grass should not be permitted to
make its appearance; once mat
ted about the plant and in the
row extra labor is called for.
Good tobacco requires clean cul
tivation.
Topping the plant is usually
done about seven weeks from the
time of setting or as soon as ten
leaves can be left on the stock af
ter priming up six inches from
the ground. The plants ought
never to be allowed to blossom
and the sooner they can be top
ped the greater the saving of
their vitality. Care should be
exercised in pinching out the
buds not to injure the leaves im
mediately below. Planters gen
erally concede that there is a
great loss of weight in topping too
high ; the leaves will be thin, and
will not ripen uniformly. As a
rule successful growers do not
leave a higher number than ten
leaves on a plant, and this num
ber is lessened as the season ad
vances. Others have reported
that a greater number of pounds
of tobacco and of better quality
can be made by leaving only eight
leaves on the stock than any oth
er number; the leaves grow lon
ger, ripen at the same time, are
uniform in size and much heavier
and richer.
In some sections cultivators ob
serve this rule in topping tobacco
plants :* If fineness of quality is
the object, leave from ten to
twelve leaves on the stalk; if
weight, from eight to ten.
There are usually two “show
ers” of worms. The first, which
comes on soon after planting, can
be got rid of only by a careful
examination of the plants. If the
worms are caught before they doff
their skin but little injury is done,
but left on a plant after this their
ravages are serious. The second
crop of worms comes generally in
August, and is much more to be
dreaded because the suckers fur
nish a hiding place for them.
Neglect at this period may ruin
the value of the crop, hence the
of
a constant warfare
against them early and late.

Iltijnsn affections are leaves, the foliage

An old Irish soldier, who prided himself
upon his bravery, said he had fought in the
battle of Dull Run. When asked if he had
grow^n seasonable weather five
or six inches during a week. If
permitted to thrive the leaves of
the plants become dwarfed and
impoverished. The old planta
tion method is to pull the suckers
off as they appear, though a
grower here and there, at the
time of the first suckering, cuts
deep enough to destroy the germs
starting for other suckers. The
argument against this last plan is
that it takes more time and care
than going over the crop for each
set of suckers, and will also bleed
the leaf too much.
