TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
In the Cornfield.
The time for planting corn varies with
tho latitude and after that depends much
upon the weather. As soon as the days
are mild and the ground warm, when
ever that may Ire, is a safe rule in all
localities. Three conditions are essen
lial to the production of a paying crop
of corn—namely, good seed, a rich,
friable soil and thorough tillage. Pro
gressive farmers here demonstrate the
economy the soil for of ihe a thorough preparation of
of seed; indeed, not a few
our most successful growers advocate
and practice as best and essential thecul
tivauon of the corn previous to planting;

Where manure is required, tho better
way is to sow it broadcast and plough ft
in, if it be course, or harrow it in if well
pulverized and decomposed. When
manure is thorougly incorporated into
the soil the roots of the plants are
tain to take it up, and the development
of ear and grain will correspond with
that of stalk and leaves, which is not tho
case when a limited amount of fertilizer
is placed in tho hill or drill only,
To gain the best results from the employ
meat of stimulating elements in h.ll or
drill available plant food must be near
at hand, and in sufficient quantity, to
carry the plant, once started, on to the
pei fection ol its growth. An early start
is a great point gained, and the employ
merit of fertilizers in tiie drill is of do
cided advantage, provided, as has been
already told, the,sojl outside contains suf
licient food to keep up the growth of the
plant. Poultry manure and Peruvian

planted in drills, and corn planters and
cultivators are very generally adopted.
It. is generally conceded that planting in
drills induces the greatest yields, other
conditions being even, Flat culture is
being very generally adopted for the
corn crop, it having been long ago proven
that hills are not required, las was for

planting. Thu field is broken up as
usual and made level. At time of plant

Tho object of this plan is to insure
moisture to the crop. The fertilizers are
sown in the bottom of the furrows and

furrows a sharp single-shovel coulter or

Before tho . of these

mostly upon one crop, spring wheat,
and m bad years they suffered greatlv,
as they had nothing else to fall back
upon. But the institutes changed all

all over the State comes the testimony of
farmers as to the good results of the'

Ited well supported. Farmers are no
longer raising grain exclusively, as here
tofore. Our hillsides are covered with
clover. Our farmers are encouraged to
labor anew. A new era of prosperity in
our State dates from the farmers’ in

With such results it must Vie admitted
that tiie sensible system of agricultural
education adopted in Wisconsin is work
ing admirably. Perhaps precisely the
same plan would not suit the farmers in
every State, but something of the kind,
modified tosnit the wants and wishetof
each locality, would no -doubt be found,
of great benefit to our agriculturists
everywhere. If these institutes are to be
credited with the revolution in farming
in Wisconsin, they should be given a fair
trial in the South, where an agricultural
revolution is most assuredly needed.—
