Important Points In Crewing the Com
Cw V~ ,rllor ®“«l» Preparation of the SOIL
UrfDIu* to the good—Hot and Shallow
Sural Some New ten Yorker years ago’ the editor of. The
of level, shallow began the advocacy
culture for com; drill¬
ing in the seed instead of planting in
manuring ^im,rih^ Vati or f fertilizing. g w b ? th W ? y ^ He tU1C raised * BUrfnC0 at
the rate of 143 bushels of shelled com
to the acre in that way, and has advocat¬
ed the method ever since.
Others had practiced one or motfD of
the features of this method previous to
Mr. Carman's big yield, and now there
are many advocates for his method on¬
to®. The Prairie Farmer recently at¬
tested to the preponderance of Jthe testi¬
mony at the winter's meetings of the
Illinois Farmers' institutes and clubs in
■favor of shallow cultivation for com,
and gives the following explanation why:
This rank growing plant quickly Oils the
soil with a mass of roots. If the roots
are continually broken, the inevitable
result is that the plant is seriously weak¬
ened in the effort to replace these mouths
of the plant. It is undoubtedly true, as
a rule, that level cultivation is better
than hilling. •
CORN HOOTS WITH DEEP AND SHALLOW
TILLAGE.
The principal objects in-cultivation are
to kill the weeds and to keep the soil in
proper tilth as to its surface. The prepa¬
ration of the soil for the ramification of
too roots must necessarily precede plant¬
ing. The extension of roots ia not by
forcing their way through toe soil. The
roots enter between the particles of soil,-
however fine. Then, as the roots thick¬
en, there is sid,e pressure, and this in¬
creases with the growth of the roots.
SoU, to promote growth, must be firm
enough to preserve capillarity. One ob¬
ject in cultivation is to keep toe surface
loose and friable. Titus too sun pene¬
trates more easily, the rain and dew also
are better held, and in times of drought
toe moisture of the sub-sofi rising con¬
stantly is arrested as the point of surface
cultivation is reached, and so too roots
are enabled to conserve moisture that
would otherwisl be lost. The science of
cultivation, therefore, is to keep the sur¬
face mellow above too print where the
roots found ramify, and roots will always be
extending up to this point. Two
to three inches in depth is Sufficient
therefore for the summer cultivation,
though when too crop is young and the
may extend to four inches.
•How quickly the roots fill the soil is*
shown ih the cut of growing corn, as de¬
termined by Professor Hayes on the
grounds of the Iowa Agricultural col¬
lege. This shows on one side*how deep
running shovels cut the roots. On the
other side are shallow running shovels
which not only stir every portion of the
soil, but also at the same time root out
toe weeds.
By shallow cultivation is meant as lit¬
tle interference with the roots as practica¬
ble while preserving a mellow .surface.
The surface of a com field may thus be
kept mellow whether the season bo wet
or dry.
‘Applying Phosphate*.
* W. H. Bbwker answers the query
“Whether to apply phosphates under¬
neath or on top of the seed com” as fel¬
lows: “If the com is planted on phos¬
phate alone, three-fourths of the fertil¬
izer should be sown broadcast" and har¬
rowed into too soil, and the balance
strewn along toe furrows. If it isd fer¬
tilizer, possessing any strength at all it
should not be dropped in toe hill, either
above or below the seed, as it ia likely to
injure the young tender roots as they
shoot out to gather nourishment. The
best way is to strew it along the fqrrow
when used in connection with stable ma¬
nure. Com roots reach out in every di¬
rection, and before too com plant is half
grown the ground is nearly full of roots.
Com is a great surface feeder, and for
that reason the fertilizer should not be
plowed in deep, but applied near the sur¬
face. " * \

Early Harvest Blackberry.
Our cut gives an idea of the oval sym¬
metrical form of toe Early Harvest black¬
berry. As the name suggests, this is one
of the earliest blackberries in cultiva¬
tion. It is a compact dwarf grower and
produces fruit of medium size and fine
quality.
EARLY HARVEST.
Viok claims that the Early Harvest is
valuable not only because carries it firkn well early and
prolific sort, but handsome that it in
presents market. The a fact that appearance it is a'prolific
bearer of early fruit that ships well Is of
special value to those who grow fruitfor
market.

(3)a great liabfliiyto
tout week, American Poultry Jo
says, the young bird ahould/ have
beyond hard boiled egg minced up with
dandelion leaves,* or a little bread crumb
may be added. All through dandelion
,? t,£
are the
ate
fed on good barley meal or oatmeal, and
may also have almost ad libitum fresh
curd squeezed dry from the whey, but
buttermilk is about as likely to cause
trouble as anything can be.
The egg for a week is of very great
importance, to prevent a slight tendency
to diarrhea from the first which often
gets in, and gets worse, and carries them
off later on. While young turkeys re¬
quire the utmost care when very young,
and should be confined for awhile, let it
be known that they will not thrive un¬
less they have the benefit of a range as
they become larger. They are active
foragers, and must have a chance to
exercise that peculiarity, but in so doing
they will pick up the greater part of
their food. Those who grow tobacco
should always keep a flock of turkeys,
as they are very destructive to the large
green worms that do so much damage to
that crop. If allowed a range ana fed
on grain at night, they can easily be
taught to come up at regular hours.
Kentucky Mules.
There ar® many intelligent mule breed¬
ers in Missouri, but the Kentucky stock
has the general preference. Kentucky
mules, upon an average, are worth $10
per head more than too Missouri mules,
from toe fact that they are better bred.
There is more thoroughbred blood dif¬
fused among toe horse stock generally of
Kentucky and Tennessee than in any
other states of the Union, thus giving a
better class of mares to breed from than
can be found outside of these two states.
On toe other hand the blood of the Clyde
and Percheroa mixed with toe coarse
Canadian is the foundation of a large
number of the brood mares in toe north¬
west They produce large, coarse, slug¬
gish mules not to be compared to the
somewhat smaller, but clean limbed,
active, "high spirited mules out of well
bred Kentucky mares. No animal shows
the effect of good breading more readily
or to a greater advantage than a mule.—
Farmer and Breeder.
The Bean Crop.
Beans grow best on a light, warm or
sandy matte soil. For field culture toe white
is a standard New York and
eastern variety, large, oval in form and
unexcelled in quality, and brings the
highest price in the market It develops
afiarge amount of foliage and is inclined
to throw out a good manyrmming vine%
The white navy, medium^ or pea bean, is
smaller, round oval in form and well
adapted to thin soils; productive under
good cultivation and a standard commer¬
cial sort Beans are planted in rows
about three feet apart, either in bills or
drills, after all danger of frost is over,
and should never be worked when wet
with rain or dew. They * should be bar-
vested before frost.
The Preservation of Meat.
The Journal d’ Agriculture is author¬
ity for the statement that it Is customary
in Upper Saone (France), both on farms
and in villages, to preserve meat in sum¬
mer by placing it in large earthen pans
or pots filled with curdled milk, or even
with skimmed milk, which soon curdles,
and storing toe vessel in the cellar. In
order to keep the meat beneath toe
. surface of the milk, it ia loaded with
clean stones. Meat is preserved in this
way for over a week,’without toe least
change in its flavor. When it is needed
for use, it is simply washed and dried.
The niilk is fed to swine.
Device for Mending Shafts, Etc. .
The very simple, but effective and pon-
venient, tool represented ia toe cut is,
says Southern Cultivator, valuable for
mending broken sbaftror handles. It is
especially designed for wrapping wire
tightly in joining toe broken pieces. The
tool is a hickory stick or handle twelve

or fourteen inches long. At A A are
slanting holes a little larger than the
wire. There is a notch for guiding the

ing too deep, drive a nail just under it
The figure shows how the tool looks and
how it is used. ■
Things Told by Outers.
Professor Goff says: Whole potatoes are
the best to plant, aathey give more gain
in the crop than the extra amount of seed
required. The strongest eyes are on the
seed end. Never use sprouted seed. No
particular difference where you put the
fertilizer. Potash ia the best fertilizer,
and the best soil a gravel loam with clo¬
ver sod.
Oats are one of toe best egg producing
foods known, says Southern Fancier.
Oats would be more extensively used
were it not for the rough hulL Now that
a hulless oats can be raised the problem
of cheap egg producing food has-been
solved. solved. I It should constitute three fourths
of the diet of too large breeds, whose in¬
activity'causes them to take on-more fat
than is desirable.
A complete change of the soil in flower
pots is sometimes necessary, and will en¬
ables plant to secure more food and grow
better. •-.V
Feather eating hens are best broken of
this habit by plenty of exercise and a
variety of food, including raw meat or
other animal food.

annoyance at this seaeon; Hood’s Sarsapa¬
rilla purifies toe blood, and cures all such af
fections.
