lace without drawing anything from
the soil but moisture and limit: then
they need something else; a 'new proe-
ass takes place, and the new plant then
draws from the soil and atmosphere.
3ut after corn is well up, it can be cul
tivated with very little or no rain—ac
cording to the na lure ol the soil—and
thou yield surprisingly. You at once
ash how it is done.
\ It ell, it is very simple, yet it is done
upon scientific principles. Nature
maU*es the corn, but you inhst under
stand her doings, and give her the
necessary material with which to
’ work. Thu material consists of hard
bottom and plenty of loose soil. In
vestigation lias proven to me that a
certain amount o' moisture rises
through the earth every night. Now
when the land is broken and planted,
the moisture can not. rise any li'gm*i*
than to the depth to which i »e
ground is broken, lienee, to l*eg n
with, we must "lay off" the ground to
be planted to corn very deep with a
-turning plow, and drop the corn down
on Hu- hard ground. (lover ns deep us

The other plowing- should be fre

Mr. Wellborn is right., so far as corn is
concerned, at least... when lie says roots
will not catch in loose, fresh broken

.So you see wlint roots your corn does
have are down in the ground where the
moisture will reach them, and you have
no roots near the surface to he withered

Dr. T. <1. Dodge, of Hamilton, ill.,
I writes ns follows to the 1 own Home-
I steml on the subject of ling e.li.dera:
1 deem it my duty to give to tin* pub
lic, free, my reuipe for the cun* of
what is termed hog cholera. 1 have
used this remedy for thirty-five years,
and raised hogs on my ranch in
Nebraska, and have never lost a hog.
1 have experienced by placing one
well hog with a lot of sick one-, and
keeping it well by the use of this ram-
sdy. You will confer a great, favor
upon the farmers of our country by
publishing this recipe in full, lam
now engaged in other business, and
have been for sixteen years, si ml am
willing to let others prosper l.y tbe
UBig .Veal’s of experience of mine with
,1 remedy: 1 discovered myself for l.ire

ponpfi: ->rarer unTTmonyr one ounce.
Hr!ml, ami infix well the remedy before
•i sing-.
Tiie following are the directions for
using;
1. Sick hogs in all eases to be sepa
rated from the well ones and placed in
dry pens, with only five large hogs or
eight staiall ones in epcli pen.
2. Feed nothing but dry food, but no
water, only the slop containing the
remedy, until cured.
'3. When hogs refuse to eat, turn
them on their backs, and then, with a
long handled spoon, pnt the dry medi
cine down their throats.
4. Dose for large hogs: One tea
spoonful three times .a day for three
’days; then miss one day, and repeat
amount until cured. Shoots or pigs,
one-half the amount.
K. As a preventive, one teaspooofnl
onee a Week will keep your hogs in a
healthy condition to take on fat. lean
place one well hog iu a pen with 100
sick ones, and with this remedy keep
him,well. Dot no other stock lull h. gs
have access t.o this remedy, as it is to
them a deadly poison.
Dr. Dodge adds, that for many years
he sold his reeipe for and treated
hogs at the rate of 81 per head, paving
tlm owner 10 cents a pound for all that
died after treatment begun.—Southern

—Cat straw can he more evenly dis
tributed as bedding for cattle than
whole struvv, and will serve better as
an absorbent when added to the ma
nure heap. The labor required to cut
it, is not as great an expense as the loss
from manure when the straw is uncut.
—A New York fruit grower at an in
stitute said: Orchards should be taken
care of or destroyed. Few realize liow
much valuable land is unproductive
owing to its condition. In most eases,
by plowing the sod and fertilizing and
praiming, vigor, health and fruitful
ness can be restored. A thorough
cleaning up will completely change the
aspect of our fruit farms and homes,
and many places can be made valuable
which otherwise arc worthless.

by the scorching rays of King Sol,
thereby injuring the maturity of your
corn.
Do not be afraid of plowing, no mat
ter if the dust covers yen, so you do
not plow too deep. The more you plow
the. more open and loose the top soil
\<iU be. and the looser the soil the mere
moisture it will absorb from the at
mosphere.
Keep weeds and grass down at all
events. It is surprising how mne.ii one
weed in or near a hill of corn will im
pede the 'maturity of the corn. More
especially is this the case in time of
droughts, when Spur crop needs all the
plant-growing elements it can get.
For the same,reason Unit this method
makes corn in dry weather it will also
make it in wet weather; because the
roots of the corn are down on the hard
ground where these pores carry oiT the
surplus of water from about the roots
—no roots will appear except near the
hard ground, when corn is treated in
this manner.
Do not plow your land too wet; bet
ter not plow at all than plow too wet
and then let the liot sun pour down
upon it.
in 1800, 1 cultivated four acres of a
fifty-acre field (all in coni), and made
more corn than the other forty-six
acres made. This 'may seem unreason
able to boko, but I am responsible for
what 1 say, F.nd should only be glad to
produce any amount of evidence neces
sary. My four-acre “patch” was' the
Wonder of the season. The '.'flier
forty-six acres were, pulverized and
the corn was planted near the surface,
on a line, loose bed. Result very plain
to a thinking man. The season was
very dry and this corn "burnt up" in
the hill. Again, the same tiling was
tried with like results. I never fail to
make corn if it comes up and gets fair
ly started to growing before tin* ground
gets dry. Many make the mistake of
plowing corn too young. If the weed-*
grow faster than the corn use the
hand hoe—pretty tedious but it saves
money.—Southern Farm.
