Indian Corn.
IViiila the stock and dairy farmer of the
10-itii. iiloag with those of every other sec
,vi',l depend chiefly upon the perennial
pr p . r .nanent grasses and clovers f >r his sup
[p of forage, still there will be occasion on
jjporly a ll farms to use to a greater or
r extent someone or more of the val
tl e annual plants that are so well
jlauted to our soils and climate. Chief
t.i these is our Indian corn. Asa
i . : 1 -mentary” crop it has no superior,
paring five months —four, at least —it can
planted to supply any threatened de
* ~..n , .y that may arise from circumstances
of one kind or another—insects, too much
witrr. drougth or frost. We have already
ahai-d to the groat damage oftentimes
done to good pasture by allowing stock to
trample it just after saturating rains. It
is something that should never be allowed if
it is p jssible to prevent it. Near the lots or
barns there should always be kept growing
some crop or other that can be readily cut
and fed to the stock, continued from day to
day, if necessary, until the pasture soil has
dried off enough to prevent aay decided im
press of wheel or hoof.
A good crop of some permanent grass,
like orchard or Johnson or meadow oat,
mav be kept growing in convenient distance
froln ttie barns or lots from
which tupplies may be mowed
fr<,;n time to time ns necessity may aiis>,but
for summer use it may bo that some annual
plant will bo more adapted to the use of
many farmers than a perennial grass.
;„>ar the barns it will be comparatively
easy to keep one, two or five acres manured
highly enough to produce thirty or forty
tons of green corn per acre that will be
easy to cut and carried to the stall or shells
when the soil is too wet for stock to tramp.
The dairyman who thus makes provision for
taking care of his pasture in wot weather
will soon recognize the economy of it. It
is like making another crop to economize a
cron already made. It is painful to observe
how c mmon is the reckless disregard of
the well-being of their pastures by most
farmers. Pasture established on clay soil
especially can be ruined in a short while by
ah' wing stock to trample it when they sink
to tli' ir ankles in the soft clay which, in
turn, is to he baked bydrougthy weather.
The south has comparatively little use for
the -do, tut wherever it is adopted Indian
r rll is found to be the plant par excellence
to rna ,e into “ensilage.” For summer soil
ing if is pre-eminent among annual plants.
Asa combination plant it has no superior.
Turnips.
This is a “homely” vegetable to be sure,
but is entitled to considerable consideration
nevertheless. It comes at a season when it
is not practicable to have many other vege
tables, and w hen used at a tender stage and
prepared in a proper manner, is relished
more or less by rich And poo - . Dyspeptics
wall hardly fi Ait a proper food, but those
who labor steadily a id are blessed with or
dinary health find, in a dish of turnips, a
strengthening food and a decided addi
t.on to the usual meager fan of winter
time.
Of course any one who has a garden orop
can have turnips, for they are generally
grown as a second or third crop. There are
s-veral combinations by which turnips can
bo made the third crop on the same piece of
land. When beets aro grown and used
tarly in .Tune, a crop of beans can follow
i* beets and a crop of turnips the beans,
hue season for sowing turnips extends over
yiite a period—from July to September.
Five crops can be made by sowing at va
ri us times, from the middle of July to tie
m. idle of September, and wo have time and
i gain mads good crops when sown in early
October —that is, good crops for table use.
Vv'iie i grown for stock food and for this
purpose a hundred acres should be grown
.ere only one is now. It is desirable to
shv these varieties suited for the purpose,
a; early in the season as it is practicable to
secure germination and growth. The ru
tabagas require a longer period of growth
fur tue development of a large crop than
the rough leaf or English varieties do.
Preparations for sowing rutabagas should
quite eariy in July, and by sufficient
plowing and harrowing should be put in
fine condition ready for the seed by
July 15. and then advantage should be
t b -n of the first saturating rain to start the
crop.
i starting even a crop of turnips in mid
summer a proper care is to be exercised in
meeting the requirements imposed by a
burning sun. Moisture is so rapidly dis
pelled by tho rays cf a July or August sun,
u becomes imperative to do everything that
is p ssible in the way of ameliorating its ef
fect-, if a sucoess would bo made of these
summer sowings. Whatever is worth do
ing a:: all is worth doing well, and where it
i- po-stble to secure a result speedily (and
without running tho risk of having to re
peat the work) by observing closely certain
requirements it will certainly pay to ob
serve them.
In the sowing of seeds it must be remem
bered rhat what may be permissible in
February or March, or October, or Novem
her, will not do at all perhaps in July or
August. In the first named months when
the soil is fairly cool and moisture abund
ant, germination of nearly all seeds is likely
1 1 follow the most careless and hasty sowing.
But the changed conditions of midsummer
(' ll for pains taking that is not essential in
eariy spring.
A crop vi ell put in is half made, is an old
saying that is especially true of all midsum
mer plantings. Every effort must be made
to conserve the soil moisture to the fullest
extent possible. With some crops, such as
potatoes, vine plants, strawberries and
young trees of the orchard, this couserva
ti nof moisture maybe readily and prac
tically effected through the means of mulch
ing with straw or leaves, but with such crops
as turnips, generally the only practicatile
means consists m a proper pulverization of
the soil, the judicious use of the roller and
a prompt cultivation of the crops, so as to
get it established before the surface mois
ture is exhausted from protracted dry
weather. By a thorough plowing and har
rowing of the soil just prior to planting,
have it all ready for the seed. Soon after
saturating rain has been absorbed and the
soil dried off enough to permit of being
tramped upon, lay off shallow drills and
sow- the seed. Cover by raking the surface
lightly but sufficiently to keep it from bak
lnK- then roll along the rows, if not all the
ground, with an ordinary garden roller. Ia
a small garden a barrel will answer for a
roller. * * In two or three days the
plants wall appear If the seeds are fresh and
good. Examine the plants from day to day,
and on tho first indication of the presence of

Asa food for stock turnips are certainly
undervalued iu the south. They are very
generally, and erroneously, regarded as an
unnu ritious vegetable. While it is true
tnat turnips contain a little larger per cent
age of water than some other vegetables,
tr.e difference is not quite enough to war
rant the conclusion that many hero have
arrived at, that they are comparatively
worthless for stock food. On the dairy
farm they are very valuable, and at an
other time we will discuss them from tins
standpoint. s. A. C.
Tho Dairy a Necessity in America.
The truth of this is supported by currant
history. The more densely populated a
country becomes, the greater the number of
cows do we find, writes Hortense Dudley.
This is partly owing to choice and partly
to necessity; choice, because the more ad
vanced a people becomos, the m re do they
realize the fact that milk is tho one per
fect food which contains all the elements re
quired by the body for growth and sub
stance; necessity, because a greater number
of individuals can be supported by land de
voted to dairy farming than to any other
industry.
Beiore a nation consents to send out its
subjects as emigrants, it first tries to see
how many it can support at home; the
guardians of the people putting their heads
together to endeavor to make home products
supply home demand, to discover what
kind of available food the land can bernado
to produce ia the greatest abundance. This
problem was settled by Holland thirty
years ago wheu she supported (so the Ameri
can Cyclopedia says). a population of over
550 persons to the square mile, principally
upon the produots of her dairy oows.
The soil of Holland, as we all know, is
especially adapted to dairy farming.tnueh of
the land being low, flat and marshy; iu
many places lying below the level of the
sea from wnich it has been reclaim and and is
now protected by enormous dykes built by
the government.
A gentleman who was traveling through
that country, noticing how thickly it was
settled and yet how small a proportion of
the land appeared to be in cultivation, asked
a plump old burgher who lived fearlessly
under the eaves of the sea, protected from
its salt waters only by a wall of earth, how
it was that his country managed to feed so
dense a population.
“You see,” said the old gontleman with a
fat smile, “that I at least have not suffered
for something to eat.” Afterward, he went
on to explain that 95 per cent, of hit coun
try was growing perennial grass, that nO
field crop except grass could ho made to
support the cattle that his country was
feeding, and that the peoplo could not be
fed otherwise than from cattle.'
“Moreover," he added with a little par
donable vanity, “no other cattle but the
breed we have could feed the number of
peoplo that my country contains.”
YVe will see the reason in this man’s
speech when we remember that a Dlade of
grass is the first formation from mineral
matter, the see 1 stalk is next, and after that
comes the grain, which last product only is
sufficiently digestible an 1 nutritious to be
assimilated as food in the stomach of man.
Now it is apparent that grass is a much
cheaper food than grain, but if we were put
upon that diet we would starve, so we aro
obliged to enlist the services of the cow as a
a go-between, because she cannot only sup
port her own life upon grass, but can elimi
nate thorefrom so rficient daily food to go
far toward supporting a good-sized family.
Not only has the long-headed Dutchman
years ago come to regard the cow as his
mo3t valuable assistant m rearing his large
family of children, but he is upheld in his
estimation of her usefulness by ali other
highly civilized nations in the north of
Europe.
In fact, it appears that the grade of dairy
cattle in any country is a pretty good iudex
of its 6tate of civilization. The savage
race, use none at all;and tlv- emigrant from
civilization as he pushes his way farther
into tho bush, oarries with him to liis uow
home, as an indispensable helper in the
struggle for existence, his beloved dairy
cows.
A cursory view of the very elaborate
consular reports on dairy eattlo which our
state department published a few years
since, shows that no nations outside of those
mentioned above, have any cattle that we
would permit to live to the second genera
tion, except as mere curiosities. And it is
now an assumed fact that the foreign will
compete with the home demand for this sort
of property.
How Plaster Helps Clover.
Gypsum or land plaster has always been
the great agricultural puzzle, says a writer
in au exchange. That it proves exceedingly
helpful to some crops under certain condi
tion is undoubted, since the days when
Benjamin Franklin procured the first gyp
sum from France for experiment, and made
the word “plaster” stand out in tho increased
growth of the plants to which it was ap
plied in a place where it might be seen by
hundreds every day. Gypsum was for this
reason commonly called “plaster of Paris,”
from the name of the locality whence the
first supplies were obtained. It is now
found in rock form in many places in this
country, and anywhere near there it is much
the cheapest fertilizer for clover that can be
bad.
But despite its proved advantage for
growing clover it has been difficult to ex
plain how the very small a nounts of plas
ter per acre usually sown could produce so
great results. Clover is a lime-loving plant;
but that alone cannot a count for the effect
of gypsum, which is a sulphate of lime. It
has long been rightly guessed by farmers
that in some wav gypsum enabled
the clover plant to draw plant food
from the air, but just how has
not been explained, nor yet why this should
not be equally helpful to other crops besides
clover; the fact that sulphate of lime at
tracts moisture only partly explains the ef
fect on clover. Many other plants like
moisture even bettor than clover. Why
should not plaster be equally or more bene
ficial to them i
Possibly the explanation is to be found in
the fact stated by Prof. Caldwell of Cor
nell University, a few months ago, that
clover, and also pease and other leguminous
plants, have the power of being stimulated
as it might be called to the decomposition
of atmospheric nitrogen and its use as plant
food. To begin this process, which very
possibly affects mainly air under tho
ground, the roots of clover must be watered
with something containing at least a slight
solution of nitrogenous material. This the
water which gpysum has the power of con
densing from tue air always must contain,
because at all times there are some traces
of ammonia in one atmosphere,
but more at some times than at
others. Here then is the needed stimulus to
the formation of the little nodules or warts
on clover and pea roots, on which is sup
posed to depend their power to decompose
atmospheric air, and make its nitrogen
available for plant use.
It may be that the use of gypsum on the
leaves of clover and pease allows them to
absorb some nitrogen or ammonia directly,
but the fact that the best results of plaster
ing depend upon enough rain following
after to wash it into the soil, indicates that
it is through the roots that this nitrifying
process mainly goes on. This is a good sub
ject for experiment, and the knowledge al
ready gained ought sx>n to lead, as in
creased knowledge usually does, to still
more important discoveries.
One of the corollaries to what is already
kuown about gypsum and clover is that oc
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, JULY 27, 1891.
casional applications through the season
ought to lie helpful. The moisture which
gypsum draws to plants is a dew. the con
densation from the air surrounding them,
and charged with whatever manurial ele
ments the air oontains. Ia hot weather
this includes a considerable amount of am
monia, and this uniting with the sulphuric
acid in the gypsum forms a sulphate of am
monia, which is a very powerful fertilizer.
Still if only one applica: ion of gypsu m is to
be made in a season, it is bettor to apply it
early enough so as to give the clover au
early start, as after it begins to grow the
clover itself has some power of making at
mospheric plant food available. If plaster
is sown very early in spring, while the
weather is still cold, it might be well to mix
with it some nitrogenous manure, so that
the rains would at once convey nitrogren to
the clover roots. In early spring there is
usually a smaller proportion of ammonia in
the air than later in the season, the warmth
hastening fermentation and putrefaction,
in which ammonia is most freely generated.
Poultry and Stock Notes.
THE LANGSHAN.
This fowl has been much overlooked, due
to its black plumage and dark legs. The
I -on.: shim is tho must active of the Asiatic
breeds; matures early, lays well and is
hardy, and one of the best breeds known
for the table. It has fine bone, thin skin
aud juicy meat. It is the favorite breed
in China, and in this country it holds a high
place as one of the leading breeds.
STRAW FOR CHICKENS.
Nothing is cleaner or more pleasant for
the fowls to scratch in than nice clean
straw. Put it away from where the fowls
roost. It should be changed once a week.
The grain should be scattered in it, as this
gives the exercise which in cold weather is
the life of a fowl and means good circula
tion of the blood; this always brings good
health. Fowls must have something to
keep them active. Wheu they became lazy
and stupid, don’t be surprised if some of
them become sick in time.
PAYING HER KEEP.
If a hen lays only one egg a wook every
week in the year, she will be able to more
than pay her board. There is double the
profit from three eggs there is from two. If
eggs are 2 cents each, and the hen lays two
eggs a week, we can subtract one egg for
expenses of the hen, leaving one egg to be
sold, but if she lays three eggs per week she
gives two eggs for market. Hence, the
greater the number of eggs laid the lower
the proportionate cost of each, which fact
is well known to all. A hen seldom lays
one egg per week the entire year, as she
requires thirteen weeks, or thereabouts, for
moulting, during which time she seldom
lays at all.
Field and Garden Notes.
PLANT STRAWBERRIES EARLY.
There is no need to allow the new plant on
strawberry runners to attain large growth
before transplanting it. In fact, the smaller
the set the surer it is to live, and the quicker
it will begin to develop fruit buds for an
other year. The early sot strawberries re
quire a good deal more work to keep them
free from rnnners, but they wiil repay ex
tra trouble. Growing new runners dimin
ishes the power of the plants to produce
fruit buds. Instead, therefore, of planting
iu rows and allowing the plants to run into
a mat, more fruit will be produced if the
plants are set closer together and forced to
spread out by keeping the runners cut off.
DRAGGING AFTER PLOWING.
In all cases where land is plowed in Bum
mer, a drag or harrow should follow closely
after the plow to smooth the surface. Early
in spring an excess of moisture in the soil is
common, and then to have rough furrows
to dry out the superfluous moisture more
quickly is au advantage. But even then
harrowing the furrows down should be done
before they get very dry. In summer,
where sod especially is plowed under, tho
heated air under tee furrow often retards
fermentation, and if the plowed land is left
long without dragging it may become too
dry for seeds to germinate in it. Avery
light rain soaks down better into a smooth
surface, because it does not give bulk
enough to spread it out so that it cannot
soak inside the hard lumps.
ADVANTAGE OF STRAIGHT ROWS.
In cultivating any crop it is important
that the plants should be as near a straight
line as possible. A little jag requires care
to prevent knocking out a hill, and, in any
event, wtiere there are many such in a row,
a wide space must be left without cultiva
tion except as laboriously done with the
hoe. When tho cultivator can be used to
good advantage very little hoeing will be
needed. Even with rows of corn it is bet
ter to use the hoe to cut out weeds that the
cultivat r cannot reach, tnan to try to cover
them with the cultivator.
CULTURE FOR CORN.
Corn roots do not run deeply and cannot
l e made to by any way of cultivating. The
plant loves the warmth, and so the whole
tendency of cultivation is to keep as near
the surface as possible and destroy the
weeds. The old-fashioned practice of run
ning a common plow, turning a furrow
from the middle to the rows, was injurious
iu two ways. It left ttie center of the
rows b ire, whero more of the feeding roots
are found, aud piled earth against the stalks,
rooting the brace roots on which they de
pend for support against winds. Even if
only two or three inches of earth are thrown
against the stalks it is injurious. It is more
in proportion to the size of the plaut than
the two or three feet of earth piled around
large fruit trees, which almost invariably
kills them. Besides, the fruit tree roots are
often found two or three feet below the
surface, showing that it is not the depth of
earth that kills the tree, but its inability to
suddenly adapt itself to new conditions. It
is certain that corn, which makes its entire
growth, including ripening, in a hundred
days or little more, cannot adapt itself to
new conditions so readily as can trees that
have remained in the same position several
years. Hence, the cultivating corn, espe
cially after midsummer, scratch the surface
rather thau dig deeply, ana leave the sur
face as nearly level as possible.
PREVENTIVE OF TOMATO ROT.
Bulletin No. 28 of the Cornell University
Experimental Station relates to winter forc
ing of tomatoes. Incidentally it recom
mends spraying with ammoniacal caroon
aoa of copper or the Bordeaux mixture to
keep this difficulty in check. The carbonate
of c upper is preferred, because it is more
easily made aud applied, aud does not dis
color the fruit so much as the other. The
compound is as follows: Dissolve three
ounces of carbonate of copper in a quart of
watsr, aud keep this as a stock solution.
Four tabiespoonfuls of this is added to two
gallons of water when desired for use. The
remedy is timely now, as it will undoubtedly
be equally efficacious in preventing the
mildew of tomato vines and rot of the
fruit, which is common on tomato vines
gro vn on extremely rich soil. Out of doors
this evil has seemed to us to result from ex
cess of nitrogen and lack of mineral plant
food, it would be interesting if the experi
mental stations would test applications of
phosphate or potash, as preventives of to
mato rot. The rot ceases when a few fruit
have set in outdoor culture.

TAT-OED THE PRINCE.
Mermaids and Dolphins All Over
Wales’ Son and Gladstone’s Nephew.
From the Few York Home Journal.
I have made the acquaintance of such a
quaint, clever old retired sen captain, with
great black eves and snow-white hair and
mustache. He had been the word over
several times and there seems to be nothing
nor nobody which and whom lie has not
seen or known.
J ust now wo are so intimate—-newspaper
intimate—with the Prince of Wales and his
doings, perhaps an anecdote which the cap
tain told me of George, tho prince’s second
son, may be amusing.
The captain some years ago was in Fan
Francisco with his ship. It was chartered
by a big manufacturing company to go to
New South Walt's, where the captain wag
to buy 2,000 tons of a certain celebrated
bituminous coal, for which the company
contracted to pay $8 a ton, delivered in
San Francisco.
He arrived safely and put up at the finest
hotel in Sidney. At this hotel were staying
tho Duke of Edinburgh, with his nephew, a
son of the Prince of Wales, an i young
Gladstone, a nephew of tho great states
man. They wero then taking a tiip around
the worid—the boys m the care of the
Duke of Edinburgh, who commanded the
sbip.
My sea captain made their acquaintance
and dined with them the first day of his ar
ri7al. He told the boys some of his jolliest
stories, and they took to each other im
mensely, but, strango to tell, he did not
catch a vestige of them for the next two
weeks.
(>na day they appeared again suddenly,
seized the captain by the hand and insisted
upon his going immediately to join them in
a glass of champagne in honor of tho meet
ing.
“YVhere on earth have you been hiding?”
asked the captain.
“In bed,” answered the prince, with a
sound half-groan, half-ebuckle,” and its all
the fault of that long-legged beist, Tom
Nolan.”
Then young Gladstone put in a naughty
word and rapped out:
“Yes, the beggar declared that be would
heal up in one day. I’d like to thrash him,
but his back is a yard across, I could not
kuook him down, you know, if I tried.”
"What the dickens did he do to you?”
"Why, see here,”said the prince, and the
captain, putting on his spectacles, discov
ered that tho prince’s under lip had been
tatooed with the royal "broad arrow,”
while young Gladstone’s lip was similarly
decorated with an anchor, two loveiy “fast
dye” embellishments, which would lost all
their lives.
Choking with suppressed laughter the cap
tain said: “The old Bait has done his work
well, but this need not have kept you iu
bed two weeks.”
“Oh, bless you, no,” said the prince, “but
you know he coaxed us into having dol
phins, and mermaids, and mottoes, pretty
much all over us, and oh! it’s abominable,
you know, for we were soon laid out as
stiff as ramrods, and howling with pain. It
don’t matter, now it’s all over,” added the
prince rather ruefully, “but, by George 1
I’ll never be caught in such a trumpery
berape again.”
“Nor I," chimed in young Gladstone,
with an emphatic bong of his fist on the
table, “but the worst of it is, yru know that
we shall be dancing and fighting at balls,
and praying in church with all these ridic
ulous mermaids and idiotic wtiat-a-callexns
prancing round with us, all al ,ng the line.
George has made a royal jackass of him
self, and I am—”
“A radical jackass,” laughed the captain.
"And the signs of it will last forever. You
will have to dance and pray and offer your
selves to your sweethearts, mermaids and
ail, for better, for worse.” Then they made
a solornn grimace at them, and they ail burst
out laughing—and the boys invited him to
inspect the splendid ship, in whie’ they
were steaming over the world, aim while
there the captain put the youngest up to
playing some high jink* upon the old sailor
who had persuaded them to be tattooed; by
way of an awful retribution. A day or two
after tho great ship steauied away, and tho
captain, having loaded the ship with the
coal he was to get, set sail for (aliforr ia.
He told me,with au irresistible wink,that
he bought the coal for #2 a ton. Two dol
lars more covered every expense to ttie dour
of the great manufactory, so the result was
a tidy iittle fortune for the captain.
Borne years after he was in Yokohama,
and left it at night by getting on board a
ship bound for California. Iu the morning
he rose early to watch the fast receding
shores of Japan. A tall, handeonie young
man came out of his stateroom at the same
moment in his dressing robe. “Hello!” he
cried, "why, if here ain’t my dear oldcap .
tain. How are you? Bo glad to meet you
again!”
The puzzled captain looked at the young
man in a vain hope to recognize him,
when the other, lifting a splendid mus
'acbe, disclosed a tatooed anchor on his
dp.
"O, now I know you! You are Gladstone!
What a big, good-looking fellow you are,
to be sure.”
“All you see of mo,” laughed the other.
“My friends, the mermaids and mottoes,
still cling closer than a brother, and Under
my clothes I’m a show for your circus
friend, Barnum. But come with me and
drink a good-by champagne cup to
Japan.”
And then they went over the South Wales
adventure, and had a most enjoyable, jolly
chat together.
