Our CREED-We believe in small farms and
thorough cultivation.
We believe that soil loves TO eat, as well as
its owner, and ought, therefore, to be manured.
We believe in large crops which leave the
land better than they found it-makng both
the farmer and the farm rich at once
We believe in going to the bottom of things
and, therefore, in deep plowing, and enough Of
it. All the better if with subsol plow
We believe that the best fertiliser Of any
SOIL is spirit of industry, enterprise and in.
elIigence-with0ut this, lime and gypsum,
bones and green manure mari and gnano will
be Qflittle use.
We believe in good fences, good barns, good
farm,houses, good stock, good orchards, and
children enough to gather the fruit
We believe in clean kitchen, neat wife in
it, a spinning-piano, a clean cupboard, clean
dairy, and clean conscience.
We firmly disbelieve in farmers that will not
improve ; in farms that grow poor every year
in StarVeing cattle; in farmers boys turning
into clerks and merchants in farmers daugh-
terS unwilling to work, and in all farmers
ashamed of th5r vocation, or who drink
whisky ill honest people are ashamed of them,

PRESERVING FRUIT.--If you have room in

OF the sui tscrber for several generations.

possible;) cover all with thick muslin tied
down, and it hermetically sealed 1t is espe-

Sow Corn for Feeding.

Hardly another item of farm labor is so i'm
portant as this, for jane Pastures are usual
ly short, the last of August and September,
and even In the best OF grass years, the green
succnIent stalks Of corn are welcome addition
to the feed of every grazing animal. If not
absolutely needed for green fodder, then the
stalks can be kept for winter use and, if cut
seasonably aud properly cured, they arc pearly
as valuable as English hay. The ground can
hardly be made to produce so much valuable
fodder, at so little expense, with any other
crop.
The ground should be in good heart 4; if not
so, let it be manfred with 10 to 20 cords of
stable manure per acre The corn is sometimes
sown broadcast, but the crop is not as large
as when sown in drills, 2 IL to 5 feet apart
and cultivated or times, before it is too
large for the operation. If foddered from the
field, the cutting may commence about the
time the spindle makes its appearance, and may
be continued until the ears are glazed. If it
is to be cured for winter use, it should be cut
just as the ears are beginning to silk. If left
later, the ears will not cure we'll As rule,
it should not stand later than the middle Of
September, at which time the season is sufi-
ciently warm to cure the stalks rapidly.
There is a choice in tie varieties of corn for
this purpose. The small kinds that have been
cultivated mainly for the grain, for many gen.
erations are not so good as the larger varie
tics. Some use the Southern corn altogether,
for this purpose, and it does we'll Others use
sweet corn only, thinking there is more nour-
ishment in the stalks, We have used, for
several years, the Stowell'S Evergreen Sweet
Corn, and, on the whole, prefer it to any yari.
ETY. we have ever experimental with 1t
yields an enormous burden Of fodder, and is
one Of the best articles for feeding swine, as
well as neat cattle Horses, also, are very
fond of and it may economically make up
half their food while it lasts. But the variety
is not very essential matter. Sow sweet corn
if you have it, or can readily procure it, But
