Cultivation of Corn.
Modern experience tends to favor the
shallow and superficial culture of com,
rather thau deeper plow ing. After the corn
has been planted a plow should not be
used in the corn-field, but tbe cultivator
only. Tho surfaco nlono needs to be
stirred, and tho oftener it is mellowed
nnd loosened, tbe better for the crop.
Thu writer has grown several crops of
over 100 bushels of grain to thc acre, and
in every case in which this unusual pro¬
duct was reached, it was when tho
ground was worked with the horse hoc
overy week until the corn was in tassel.
When, unavoidably this frequent culti¬
vation was missed, the yield fell some¬
times ns low ns seventy of eighty bushels
per acre, showing—all other treatment
being thc same—that the frequent work¬
ing of the soil has a most useful result
on the crop.— American Agriculturist.
Peas Will Not Nils.
armers, many of them, believe that
ilinsrcnt varieties of peas will cross if
planted in close proximity. This is not
the case, for the ovules of each flower
nre fertilized by the pollen of tho same
flower long before thc buds unfold.
Therefore, in crossing peas, tho anth¬
ers must be removed just as soon ns the
petals show themselves in the bud. If
one waits beyond this period it will be
found on opening the bud that the anth¬
ers are ripe and have shaken their pol¬
len upon tho stigma. It is impractic¬
able to unfold a bud so small and im¬
mature, and therefore many have con¬
cluded that peas could not be crossed
even artificially. This difficulty is obvi¬
ated, however, by cutting off the tip of
the bud as soon as it opens, and slitting
down the flower a short distance; the
ten anthers are then easily removed,
leaving only the stigma, which may now
receive pollen of an other variety with
•which it is desired to cross it.— N. Y.

Potion, tor Insect,.
answer to occasional inquiries, we
g.. - briefly the following modes for aji-
plying effeotive poisons:
Pyrethrum for Cabbages.—Use a table¬
spoonful to two or three gallons of water,
and if driven on these and other plants
with a syringe or force pump, it will de¬
stroy nearly all insects. The pyrethrum
must be fresh, as it loses by exposure.
Paris Green for Various Purposes.—
Mix it nnd keep stirring with about 700
times as much water. It is good for
canker worms, codling moths, potato
beetles, cucumber bugs, etc. It is only
a partial remedy for the curculio.
Paraffine.—Half a tcacupful to a gal¬
lon of water, constantly stirred, is good
for scale insects. It must be weaker on
young than on old, hard bark. Kero¬
sene emulsion is also good, and it is made
by putting a quart of soft soap in a gal¬
lon of water, which heat to boiling, and
then while boiling, stir in a pint of kero¬
sene. Another way is to stir kerosene
with milk until no oil is visible; then
dilute with twelve times as much water.
Paris green, driven briskly with a force
pump, has saved grapevines from rose-
bugs.— Country Gentleman.
Trees in Cultivated fields.
This is tho time of year for farmers
who havo cultivated crops to mark on
those fields the area which the roots of
trees drain of moisture and fertility. If
they will do this with either corn or
potatoes, the revelation wilt be a surprise
to many. Under the shade of the tree
the crop will rarely pay cost of cultiva¬
tion and harvesting; but for ten and
often fifteen feet on cither side it will be
diminished, varying according to thc
season. In a very dry time we liave
known a few trees in a field to make it
so unproductive that it gave no profit
from cultivation at present low prices,
very small under the most favorable cir¬
cumstances. Now as farming is a busi¬
ness, it is the farmer’s duty so far as in
him lies to make a business success of it.
If any one is farming for amusement or
pleasure he can do as he chooses about
retaining useless and positively detri¬
mental adjuncts to his business, though
in this case tho greatest pleasure as well
as profit will generally be found in grow¬
ing the largest possible crops. For the
great mass of farmers harassed by debt
and striving every way to make both
ends meet losses of this kind are a seri-
ous matter. They at least cannot afford
to waste time, labor or money over senti¬
mentalities. Scattering forest trees are
often ornamental in lawns; but the farm
is not a lawn, and among growing crops
a large tree is often the most destructive
kind of weed. This is an economic sug-
gestion which many will appreciate who
fully understand the need of obeying the
apostolic injunction to “lay aside every
weight" as the only means ot insuring
success. — Cultivator.
Clover on the Form.
A writer m , the ,, Prairie Farmer „
says: J
No other thing on the farm so thor-
ough ,, y marks , the , progress of ... agriculture
as the rapidly increasing use of red
clover. The two-fold benefits of clover
are so obviously manifest to every farmer
that the increase in its use is not nir-
prising. Its wonderful yield as a forage
crop makes it one of tlie most desirable
to raise,whether to be fed green or cuied
in the shape of rowen. Bo rapidly does
it grow that it is no uncommon thing 10
cut three crops during a single season;
■ to c»l b.
than two crops. Should the farmer
<*“« •» th. .took „ tb« »„l,l it
seems almost, to replace the day’s picking
by its growth at night. The better way
is to cut and feed it in the rack, and a
• amount . of , ground i will ... feed , j fully „ ,,
given
twice as inauy cattle as when allowed to
loam ovet u it.
A very important, value of clov r con-
MEts, however, in its great efficiency w> a
means cf recuperating tije land; and
tSU iu
creased use shows an advanced stage
the science of agriculture. First, the
use of a fertilizer of any kind is a con¬
fession that the land is not as good as it
is in the power of man to make; and,
next, the uso of clover ni a means of en*
richingthe ground show, that fanners are
studying economic management of the t
lands.
It is claimed by some that no fanner
can ailord to plow under a good crop of
clover as a fertilizer, but that it should
be fed to cattle ard the manure from the
cattle put hack on the fund, with tho
growth of those cattle, arc together of
more value than the crop of green ma¬
nure. Admitting this claim, the roots of
the clover, when allowed to grow two or
three years, will benefit the soil by pene¬
trating, perforating and aerating tho
subsoil, so as to increase the yield of a
wheat crop that may follow at least
twenty-five, and often fifty per cmt. on
heavy clay soils. Whatever view may
be taken of the subject, there is uo crop
that is so generally growing in favor with
the general farmer East, West, North or
S.uth, and there are few, if any, crops
that will result in so few disappoint¬
ments as will the common red clover.
Iniprovenieiit of Itooryni<l-< nml l.atviii.
A fanner’s wife has given thc following
hints for the improvement of dooryards
and lawns, with her idea as to where tho
line in decoration should be drawn. Her
ideal is a neat, tasty home, and nothing
tells fo much the character of the people
in the homo as the dooryard. She would
have it neat, first. She would not at-
tempt to liave it filled up promiscuous y
with all the shrubs and plants and bushes
which can be found. This soon grows
into a thicket, and there arc incongruity
and want of harmony nnd order, which
looks as badly as no attempt to do any¬
thing. It is not well to attempt to do
too much. The tasteful place must be
neat, and thc grass short and smooth.
We cannot, on the farm, afford to keep
a man to attend to the cultivation of the
flowers aud shrubs on the lawn. We must
not overtax the strength of the men or
women, in the work of caring for the
yard and tlie ornamental features. It
should be for recreation. She advised a
neat grass plot, a tidy walk, and a relief
of forest trees, with u very few or no
evergreens. The flower beds and bricks
set on edge, nnd such arrangements that
at best look well a small part of tlie
year, and offensive most of the time, can
well give place to neat, well-kept grass,
that looks attractive every day of tho
year. The flowers and roses we must
have, but in the side yard, an ! limit
them to our means. Too many gay tilings
in a doorway are like too much gaudy
dress. It is not in thc best taste. The
first and last tiling necessary is neatness.
Whatever is done should be well Jon”.
A few roses and honeysuckles in some
nook or corner can be made a thing of
beauty at little cost, tbe 11 iwer-garden
by itself, and rose hedge to screen the
front from back yard, or tlie ornamental
from the business quarters. She bad no
admiration for great attempts at flower
beds and rockeries iu conspicuous places
in tlie farmers’ dooryards. Neatness and
simplicity, aud not attempt, are to be
aimed at in nil the surroundings of the
fanner of limit d means.
The lawn-mower does not cost much,
and if the yard is not littered up with
too many things, the grass can be cut
often and kept as a beautiful fcaturo at
all times. The men, howevi r, want to
do everything with horses, and if the
lawn is large, the horses can do the work
easily, and by a little dressing up after
tho liorse-mower tlie grass can be kept
very neat .—American Cu’ticator.
