AGRICULTURAL TOPICS OP INTEREST RELATIVE TO FARM ANI) GARDEN. In the Cornfield. _ The varies with time for planting corn the latitude and after that depends much 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 tial to the production of a paying crop of corn—namely, good seed, a rich, friable soil and thorough tillage. Pro gressive farmers lieie demonstrate the economy of the a seed; thorough indeed, preparation few of the soil for not a of our most successful growers advocate and pra tice as I est and essential the cul¬ tivation of the corn previous to planting; that is to say, they do not u e a plow alter planting, soil but let all the deep cul¬ 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 meat of stimulating elements in h II or drill available plant food must be near at hand, and in sufficient quantity, to ! carry the plant, onc e started, on to the perfection o! its growth. An early start is a great point gained, and the employ ment ol fertilizers in the drill is of tie cided advantage, provided, as has been j already told, the.soil outside contains suf ficient food to keep up the growth of the plant. have Poultry manure and Peruvian guano each rendered valuable ns- j si-stance drill- as stimulators, applied in the planted Large areas drills, are nowadays usually in and corn planters and cultnators are very generally adopted. It is generally conceded that planting in drills induces the greatest yields Other : conditions being even. Ftat culture is being very generally adopted for the that corn hills crop, it having been long ago proven merly supposed, are not for required, the as was for¬ support of the labor corn plant. There is also a saving of in the fiat culture system. I 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 cultivation which gradually is done level down with cultivators, the surface j of the beds, returning the soil to the corn and leaving the general surface level when completed. The system of “ checking ” corn so that the cultivation may he in two direc¬ tions—direct and across—is much practiced in the Northern and Western States.

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.— revo lution is most assuredly Atlanta Constitution.
