upon the weather. As soon as the days
are mild and the ground warm, when
ever that may be, is a safe rule in all
localities. Three conditions are essen

of corn—namely, good seed, a rich,

that is to say, they do not u e a plow

ture of the precede it.
Where manure is required, the better
way is to sow it broadcast and plough it
in, if it be coarse, or harrow it in if well
pulverized thorougly and decomposed. When
manure is incorporated into
the soil the roots of the plants are cer
tain to take it up, and the development
of ear and grain will correspond with
that of stalk and leaves, which is nottho
case when a limited amount of fertilizer
is placed in the hill or drill only,
To gain the best results from the employ

at hand, and in sufficient quantity, to !
carry the plant, onc e started, on to the

is a great point gained, and the employ

A plan of drill culture favore 1 by some
on light and naturally dry upland is what
is known as the “furrow system” of i
planting. The Celd is broken upas
usual and made level. At time of plant
ing one thorough harrowing is given and
the ground laid oil and thrown up into
live-feet beds, the corn being planted
in the furrows, between the beds. ;
The object of this plan is to insure 1
moisture to the crop. The fertilizers are
sown in the bottom of the furrows and
mixed with the soil by running along the
furrows a sharp single-shovel coulter or j
dragging a chain through it. Then the !
seed is dropped and covered. The after I

A Revolution in Farming. |
In Harper's Magazine, Mr. Charles
Dudley Warner has a remarkably inter-j
csting Great article entitled: “Studies of the
West.”
Wisconsin, Speaking of the State University of
Mr. Warner praises its ngri
cultural department in high terms; but
what impresses him most is the connec
tion of the university with the fanners’
institutes, luder a recent act of the
Legislature, organized, nnd farmers’ placed institutes under have been
the control
of the regents of the university, who
have the power to select a tltate Super
lntendintto control them. 1 lie farmers,
therefore, while not actually students of
the university, are directly instructed by
it. 1 he State appropriates $12,000 a
year io ,hi 5 work, and the money has
been found mithcient to pay the salaries
of the Superintendent and his assistants
and the expenses of specialists who are
called iu from tune to time. In forty
five counties last year there were held
eighty-two farmers’ institutes. At the
meetings 2 1 St practical topics were dis
cussed, and 10? lecturers were employed.
llie meetings are managed by local com
mittees, and every effort is made to
est the farmers and bring them to the
Before the ,, organization . . of . these .. insti- ...
totes the farmers of \N rsconsin depended
mostly upon one crop, spriii" wheat,
and m bad years they suffered greatly,
as they had nothing else to fall bark
upon. lint the institute* changed ell
this The farmers at their meetings dis-
cussed clover as a fertilizer; recuperative
agriculture; the bee-keeping; education of household farmers’ !
economy; of
daughters; the economy sheep hus
bandrv; value'of egg production; poultry; the
thought and application in
farming; horses to breed for the farm
and market; breeding and management
of swine; mixed farming; corn culture;
breeding and care of cattle; small fruits;
butter-making; the country roads, etc.
Mr. Warner says in conclusion: “The
farmers have been enabled to protect
themselves against the effects of
and other evils. Taking the advice
the institute in l$86,the farmers planted
50,0 JO acre’- of ensilage corn, which
took the place of the short hay crops
caused by the drought. dollar’s This
vision saved thousands of worth
of . stock . , in . several , counties. From ,,
all over the State comes the testimony of
farmers as to the good results of the in
atitute work, like this: “Several thou
sand dollars’ worth of improved stock
have been brought iu. Creameries and
avheese factories have been established
well supported. Farmers are ae
longer raising grain exclusively, as here¬ with
tofore. Our hillsides are covered
clover. Our farmers are encouraged in to
labor anew. A new era of prosperity in
otir State dates from the farmers’
stitutc.” admitted
With such results it must be
that the sensible system of ag ricui rural
education adopted in Wisconsin is work
J j j n g admirably. Perhaps precisely the
#ame plan would not suit the farmers in
every State, but something of the kind,
modified to suit the wants and wishes of
locality, would no doubt be found
of Krcat benc'it to our agriculturists
everywhere. If these institutes are to be
^red.ted with the revolution in farming
in Wisconsin, they should be given a fair
trial in the South, where an agricultural needed.—

The West Shore and the
Catskii! Mountains
The statement that the railroads are the Sf oio neers
in the development of the country was never more
truly exempli! o 1 tha \ by the growth of the Catskdl
r'gion since the opening of the West Shore Rail' ea 1.
The wonderful progress made by the Catskills is
most surprising. Before the opening of the West
Shore the number of tourists to this heal hful moun¬
tain resort never exceeded 5 ,000 peojile in any one
season ; but -ince the West Shore opened up with its
splendid service, less© ing the time between New
York an 1 the Mountains from three to fou hours,
with drawing room cars running right into the he t t
of the mountains, the increase in travel has i eon
marvelou , and it is estimated that not h ss than
20o,00J p opie summered lu the Catskills last season.
"Summer Ho lies,” a handsom- I.v illustrated ioo<,
which is pin lished by the West Shore for tree dis¬
tribution, gives a great deal of valuable information
re arding he Catskills that cannot e found nanv
Bimilar n iblica'ion, including a list or over 2500
summer nomes, the r loc tlon, etc. This book will
be rea iy for distri mtion about May 15th, and can be
had at any West Shore ticket office.
