On Improving Our Corn.
Few agricultural products transferred
directly from a particular climate or a pe
culiar soil to a climate or soil materially
different tn character give as good results
ps were given in the region from which
,I,py were taken until they have undergone
naturalization, so to speak, says the Mobile
Register. Nature through a long series of
had adapted them to certain existing
natural conditions, and when they do not
fiDd these exact conditions in the now lo
cality they are more or less off, and must
remain so until they are brought around
right by the gradual workings of nature,
feveral generations being .often required to
get them entirely at home.
Among our products of wide range none
f yew this effect in a more marked degree
than common Indian corn. Asa conse
quence the southern people seldom get the
best of their corn crop, owing to the fact
that every year they bring their supply of
seed from the north, where climate and soil
conditions differ as widely from those of our
own section as it were possible for such
things to differ, and in their cultivation of
an unacclitnated variety they invariably
pay the penalty of comparatively reduced
results.
A few southern farmers are now getting
their eyes open to this reasonable fact, anil
are turning their attention to an exclusive
use of southern seed corn, with encourag
ing effect, though the large majority have
never thought of it, and some even pretend
to believe, without reasoning in the prem
ises, and without practical demonstration,
of course, that northern seed corn is best
for southern planting. It certainly is not.
While any variety of corn that has long
been raised in the south is better for south
ern culture than the same variety brought
direct from the north, there is still open a
wide field for our improvement of those
southern-grown varieties by careful selec
tion, or by crossing. A little attention on
the part of the southern farmer would en
able him to bring up the old varieties, by
selection, to their groate-it degree of per
fection, and crossing might enable him to
spring new varieties entirely suited to our
climate and soil, and better, in many re
spects, than any variety now cultivated by
us. The operation in eitner case is both
easy and simple.
The plan indorsed by Dr. Daniel Lee, of
the Southern Cultivator , for improving
our corn by selection, may bo set forth in
brief as follows: Make a record of the
date at which your corn came up. If you
desire an early variety go over the field
when tiie corn begins to first show silk and
tassel, and mark with a suitable label all
the really good stalks that show the silk at
exactly the same time, choosing such as silk
earliest, of course. Later, when the ears
begin to dry, go over the field again and
mark all the best and dryest ears to be
found on the marked stalks. When ripe
pull and keep these ears to themselves, and
from among them select the best for your
seed corn. By repeating this process a few
years you will have your variety settled
down to the very best that is in it.
To have the date of coming up is interest
ing, as it will show how much time is re
quired for your corn to mature; and choos
ing such specimens as have silked and tas
seled at precisely the same time is particu
larly important, as much depends upon
that so far as relates to a thorough filling
of the ears. A field of corn that does not
silk and tassel ‘‘evenly” stands a chance
of having many of his ears not well filled
out.
If a late variety of corn is desired the
latest stalks to silk and tassel will be the
stalks to mark,etc.
To oross one variety of corn with an
other, plant the variety you desire to cross
upon here and there about in the field of
the variety from which you desire to ob
tain the cross, marking the hills. When the
stalks in the marked hills have developed
tassels cut the tassels away promptly be
fore they have matured, but do not disturb
the silks. The ears on t hese stalks will then
be fertilized by pollen dust from the tassels
of the other variety, and hi(nce a cross will
he entirely sure. No change in the appear
ance of the corn may appear the first sea
son of the cross, but when grown the next
reason a marked change may be made mani
fest. For successfully conducting this ex
periment it is imperatively important that
th - two varieties silk and tassel at the same
time. Without this no corn would bo de
veloped. O.i this account it wiil be neces
sary to take into consideration the cotn
parative earliness or lateness of the varie
ties and govern your action accordingly. If
>ou desire to cross a late variety upon an
w ‘ r 5 variety, you must plant tho early va
riety long enough after the late variety has
Wll bunted to bring the two into bloo.n
itassel) at the same time, reversing in case
you desire to cross early or late.

all these things represent money, and. if

We have named nothing which is not within
easy reach of the small farmer, if he will
be a little enterprising; and nothing which,
when the year is closed, will not be found
to have been produced without any strain
on the purse. It requires a little cash to
start, a considerable amount of labor from
time to time, and some planning. But it
can all be accomplished, and the chances
are that it will breed profit rat her than loss
in actual surplus cash, for there will always
be more than is wanted of some things, and
real luxuries always find some sort of mar
ket. Minutes and hours that would other
wise go to waste will be utilized in the extra
labor required, and the pleasure in
the accomplishment will be a clear bonus
besides.
Better Farming.
In resuming active operations this spring
says the Farmer's Home Journal, culti
vators of the soil should endeavor to adopt
a system of better farming, and trying to
make one acre yield as large profits as they
have been realizing from two or three, or
sometimes a dozen. Asa rule, there is
much room for improvement over the av
erage crops of the past. In fact, there is
really no profit at all in growing average
crops. By the time all exponses for plow
ing, seed and cultivation are summed up
there is really no margin left for profit.
Better preparation of the soil, more liberal
manuring and thorough cultivation will
bring about tho desired result, and just now
the farmer ought to be planning and oonsid -
©ring how this can be most economically
accomplished. The preparation for spring
crops should commence as early in spring
as the soil will admit of being worked; the
home supply of manures sh mid be supple
mented with a sufficient amount of com
mercial fertilizers, and then a frequent and
thorough cultivation should follow. The
last point is the more important. When we
remember that frequent stirring of the soil
is most conducive to atmospheric fertiliza
tion, the great importance of thorough
cultivatioin becomes apparent. We know
that many farmers think that the primary
object of cultiva ting crops is to kill weeds,
nnd govern themselves accordingly. If
there are no weeds germinating, the soil is
left undisturbed. The main object in thor
ough cultivation is to give plants a better
opportunity to breaths. A frequent stirring
of the soil hastens the decay of vegetable
and mineral matters, and altogether the
crop is pressed forward and earlier maturi
ty and an increased yield is the result. Slip
shod farming will not pay any longer in
this country, and slip-shod farmers should
be invited to take a back seat, or rather get
out of the way entirely.
Dehorning Cattle.
Prof. Albert E. Meuke, director of the
agricultural experiment stations of the
Arkansas Industrial University, has issued
his first annual report. Among other
things experiments on dehorning cattle
have been tried under Prof. Menke’s direc
tion, and the following conclusions are
given:
1. The operation requires some care, but
is not difficult or dangerous.
2. The wounds heal favorably as a rule,
although in exceptional causes and when
the operation is improperly performed, con
tinued suppuration and chronic imfl anima
tion may ensue and seriously interfere with
the health of the animal.
3. In cases that progress normally, from
three to four months may be given as the
time which elapses before complete healing
occurs.
4. When amputated at the proper place,
the horns do not return.
5. The constitutional disturbance is not
severe, and is manifested by a slight and
temporary rise of temperature, with proba
bly, in most cases, a slight decline in weight
and milk secretion, lasting over the first
week or so.
6. The quality of the milk is not injuri
ously affected.
7. The operation must be considered
painful, but there is no evidence that the
pain is excessive after the operation is
over.
On calves we conclude that:
1. The operation is less painful than in
adults.
2. When removed as above directed, the
horns do not return.
3. When the animal is healthy the wounds
heal favorably in about six weeks or two
months.
Large Crops from Small Areas.
HOME GARDENING.
By Samuel A Cook , Milledgeville, Oa.
It is vronderful what a quantity of veg
etables can be produced ou a quarter of an
acre of rich land in the course of twelve
months aud under the system of intensive
or high culture. The gardening year in our
latitude probably begins iu the fall when
onions for the earliest spring use should be
set out m October, spinach, cabbage and
kale sown for the same early use, and from
then on to the close of the year, doing near
ly everything in the way of preparation of
tho soil and manuring it to insure the suc
cess of future efforts after Christmas. The
world over gardening is esteemed a delight
ful occupation. All classes —the poor, tho
well-to do aud the rich—meet on common
gi ound and derive pleasure aud profit of
one kind or another in the
invigorating work of garden
making. In gardening time we love to
sow and transplant aud cultivate, going in
aud out, with hoe iu hand amid our varied
rows of snowy cabbage, lettuce and cauli
tlowers, our rosy tomatoes aud peppers, our
gulden squashes, and potatoes, and Isians,
and egg plants, aud beets, and onions, and
turnips, and okra, nnd asparagus, n it nam
ing a i.alf score of others, from woloh, by
seasonable planting, proper rotations nnd
judicious inter-planting, a lopping a gener
ous yield of vegetable food may be received
every mouth in the year, excepting those
years when the winter* are abnormally se
vere or when atmospneric influences a de
structive freshest or drought presents an
obstacle, in southern gardens profitable
work can be done every month in the year,
and there is no doubt about it the product
of a quar er of an acre under high culture
may be mudo to go a long way to supplying
an average family (five) with wholesome
food, and oftentimes with favorable sur
roundings in tho way of a market, some
thing beyond thiß in the shape of a nice
little lump of “pin” money.
In tins brief exposition of the methods
to b observed ill the home garden a quarter
of' an acre is taken as the unit, and the sug
gestions made rest upon the practical expe
rience of twenty y ars.
in gardening, as in everything cite, it is
important to start off rigut, to lay a good
fouiidal ion, and this consists in a thorough
mechanical preparation of the soil, wt;ether
dono with the plow or spading fork. In
■mnll gardens In the cities w here the di
vision is into small plats the preparation
must necessarily be done with the fork and
tho cultivation exclusively with the hoe or
other baud implement. Asa rule, garden

pleasure of the thing, and with no regard
to econonn or practical benefit—not that
such a method need to be unprofitable un
der good management and with our cheap
manual labor, still the fact remains that it
is not usually profitable or iutended to be
so.
The garden should be so arranged as to
permit of its being plowed, having pi its
long and narrower rattier than shorter aud
square. Deep preparation can readily be
secured by running twice (or t irice if
necessary) in the same furrow. With thor
ough preparation of the soil with the plow
for the planting of the different vegetables,
the cultivation of them can be done exclu
sively with good hoes, heavy steel rskesand
garden plow—the latter a very useful little
implement in the s nail garden where the
soil is light and loamy and free from stones.
Where the cultivation is thus with hand
implements the distance between the rows
of a number of vegetables need not be
more than 13 to 18 inches. Onions, radish,
lettuce, spinach, dwarf pem (like Tom
Thumb or Annie Wonder) carrots, salsify,
pepper, salad, turnips, mustard, need to be
in rows only 15 inches apart Early cab
bage, Irish potatoes (with small tops like ear
ly rose or Ohio) beets, bush beans, turnips,
kohl rabbi, have plenty of room in 24-iucb
rows. To make the mist ou a given
area give no more space than is necessary.
Tomatoes, okra, squash (bush), egg plant,
pole beans, should have a distance of 3 feat
at least, in the previous lines the names of
about twenty different vegetables are men
tioned, and celery, cucumber, corn, pars
nips, kale, parsley, butter beans, sweet po
tatoes, asparagus, artichoke (burr), being
named brings the list up to about thirty
that are cultivated more or less in our gar
dens.
Tastes differ so no two persons are likely
to make the same selection iD making a list
of 6or 8 of them for home use. It is well
enough to have as great a variety of vege
tables as it may be convenient to have but
ordinarily a selection embracing one-third
of those mentioned will afforu sufficient
variety and be ample for all practical pur
poses. Bay we choose beets, beans (snap),
batter beans, cabbage, potatoes, tomatoes,
okra, onions, squashes or turnips, English
peas, lettuce. Beginning operations in Oc
tober, as we should, first comes the setting
of onions, observing the long-tiuied prac
tice of using “sets” of medium size for this
fail crop. As early in the month as possi
ble seeds of cabbage should be sown in
nicely prepared soil with a view to making
plants large enough to transplant during
tho month of November, and as lato as the
middle of December. A bout two years in
five the weather in January is severe
enough to kill the plants if they are not
protected in soma way. On a small scale it
is easy enough to protect them by mulch
ing the soil around them with cotton seed
and depositing a small armful of pinestraw
on the plants. Using a good strain of the
early fiat head fine large cabbage can be
developed in April or May. Spinach is one
of our finest salad plants, and it is not
planted in our home gardens as extensively
as it should oe. It is very hardy aud when
sown in October furnishes the nicest of
salad very shortly after severe weather is
over. Ou rich land (and it requires rich
land more than some other plants) in a
mild winter it can be made to yield salad
abundantly in December. Lettuce seed
should be sown in October, plants set out
thickly in November and December. Fine
heads should be obtained by Mar h-Aprii.
7 he Coe variety is a very desirable kind for
this planting, and thero is no l otter than
the Boston market for early spring plant
ing. Turnips can also be sown in October.
The roots may not be very large, but small
roots nnd plenty of salad can bo made.
Sown the first week in October with season
able moisture in the soil if the land is rich
very' large turnips can usually be made be
fore severe weather interferes. These crops
sown in October-November vacate the land
by the first of May and a crop of toma
toes, beans, squashes, cucumbers, or late
cabbage may be planted on the land. In
December the planting of English peas oc
curs. It is better to plant thedwarf varie
ties as early in the month a* possible. As
stated these dwarf kinds require not over 13
inches distance between the rows and high
ly cultivated on suitable soil may be made
to yield prodigiously—they need no sticking
and are better for the small garden in every
way.
Again in' January or February another
sowing of lettuce and cabbage should bo
made„and during the first half of February
the planting of Irish potatoes should be
made. During December or early January
while little else could be done in the gar
den, the plat f >r the potatoes mould be got
ten in fine cultivation for planting—the
soil thoroughly fined and well manured.
There is nothing more important in the
garden than thorough preparation of the
soil before planting the seed. The way ii
then very easy to obtain good results. In
the matter of Irish potatoes instead of mak
ing two different plantings for a succession
plant an early and a late kind at the same
time in early February. Beets should be
planted during February,using also an early
and late variety at the same planting.
Okra is planted Juring the month of April
throughout Middle Georgia, and In March
In tbo southern part of the state. The
smooth pod is tho best variety. Tomatoes,
beans, i-quashes and egg plant cannot be
planted in the open ground until after tbo
frost period. In Middle (leorgia plantings
early in April are generally not injured.
Now and then a late frost about the middle
of the month is severe enough to kill them"
Tomato, pepper and egg plant seed should
be sown in cold frames or boxes (under
glas- 1 the latter part of February so as to
have good stocky plants ready to set out
by first of April. The German robe wax
beans are a very desirable kind in the home
garden, but th > old-time eurly valentine
and Mohawk, both bush, are good kinds and
- row or two every two or three weeks from
April 1 to Aug. 15 will keep a supply of this
healthy and strengthening vegetable f >r the
family table, ad afford a frequent distri
bution to one’s less fortunate neighbors. As
one vegetable ceases to bear or is used up,
plow or spade up the soil and replant to
some other kind appropriate to the season.
By pursuing this plan and keeping tho
quarter acre in constant growth food crops
to the value of SIOO mav be secured from
it in the course of the 12 months. Accord
ing to the riches* of the soil and judge
ment displayed in manuriqg aud rotating
promptly and proparly a value anywhere
from $25 to S2OO may be realized from it.
Under the highest intensive system the lat
ter result is possible.

that insects are beneficial because they
lessen production, which is a theory that is
sure to end in tbe practice of methods more

A NEW CUBE FOR HYDROPHOBIA.
The Application of a Slipper Worka a
Wonderful Change in a Lad.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Ansonia, Conn., April 17.—-A few weeks
ago a boy living with George Curtiss, a
farmer of Campville near Waterbury, was
out hunting woodchucks with Mr. Custiss’
dog. He came home and showed on his
hand a few scratches, which he said had
been made by the dog just after that ani
mal had been worrying a woodchuck.
Last weak the boy showed 6igus of by
drophobia. He foamed at the mouth, had
spasms and bit and snapped just like a dog,
barking and growling in the meantime.
Pnysioiaus from Waterbury were sum
mons'd and pronounced it a oase of rabies.
They went home, leaving opiates to be taken
whan the spasms came on, but saying that
the case could not be cured aud it w.n only
a question of time when the boy would die.
The lad’s sufferings were terrible, and
fiually Dr.- Wiggins, of Litchfield, was
called. He found the boy lying ou the floor
going through a spasm, while around him
stood several neighbors waiting and
watohing for tboond. Dr. Wiggins glanced
at the boy's eyes, felt of his milss and de
manded a glass of water. He was wm nod
that the sight of water would cause
another and more violent spasm, but ho in
sisted ou its being brought. Lifting the
boy's head ou bis arm, be held the water to
his"lips, and after some time persuaded the
patient to driuk it. This he did, aud to
the surprise of all no spasms followed.
Dr. Wiggins then called for a slipper,
and taking the boy across bis kne< admin
istered a Btrong dose of practical medicine
ou the bare skin. Since then there has been
no return of the spasms, no frothing at the
month, no barking or growling or snapping.
It was a most complete cure. Yesterday
the boy was plowing and ha confidentially
said to a friend that, after all, it is better
to do his chores than to play at hydro
phobia.

How’s
Your Liver?
Is the Oriental salutation,
knowing that good health
cannot exist without a
healthy Liver. When the
Liver is torpid the Bow
els are sluggish and con
stipated, the food lies
in the stomach undi
gested, poisoning tho
blood; frequent headache
ensues; a feeling of lassi
tude, despondency and
nervousness indicate how
tho whole system is de
ranged. Simmons Liver
Regulator has been tho
means of restoring more
people to health and
happiness by giving them
a healthy Liver than any
agency known on earth.
It acts with extraor
dinary power and efficacy.

DR. SCHENCK’S
MANDRAKE PILLS
CLEANSE the mucous mem
brane, of the stomach and bowels of all slime
and foreign matter, start the secretions, assist
digestion and assimilation, nutrify the blood.
They relieve the liver of congestion, give it
a chance to entract bile poisons from the
blood, to make them into good bile, and to
secrete just what is needed. They do not
tear their way and irritate like most purga
tives, but they treat all the surfaces and or
gans, so that the entire system responds.
They arc based on scientific principles.
They are entirely rational and natural.
They always do what is claimed for them.
They work on the system in the way claimed.
They work together for the greatest good.
They are not like new and untried medicines.
They need no praise, but only simple men
tion of merit.
JMT-Dr. Schenck's purely vegetable and
w holly reliable family medicines are for sale
by all Druggists. Every package has neatly
printed directions for use. If you would
