WHEN TO PLANT CORN

has usually to be replanted once or
twice. This makes much unnecessa-
ry labor, for that planted some weeks
later, usually ripens at nearly the
same time Ifthe seed does not rot
in thegrennd, the poor little blades
are frost bitten, and their shriveled
ends pine for the hot sun. Those
plants that survive the chills and
rains of May, are not so healthy, or
well prepared to take advantage of
the warm weather when It comes, as
that planted N the proper season,
which in the latitude of most of New
EEagiand, New York and westward is
after the middle of May in almost all
seasons; and often it is not best to
plant before the first of June. No
fault is more surely repented of than
too early planting of corn. If well
soaked; and placed in warm soil,
corn is very soon above ground, and
a few warm days place it beyond
fear of hafm from sci1twor1is, white
grub wire worms or croEs-where-
as that planted, early, in the month
must do battle with all OF these for
severed weeks, i:fslit survive the

NCoRN FOR FODDER

Every farmer who keeps cows,
who makes hay and has less than he
can use to advantage, or who on any

for this purpose are the largest Kinds

rather late in the season, broadcast.
It's much better to sow in, drills

On THE PROPAGATION OF
SWEET POTATOES.


RLAETiSs-This may be done from
the middle Of May to the middle Of
June. In SONS seasons it may be
commercial earlier than this, andSir
some it may be continued later; but
generally the best time is from the
18th, Of May to the same time in June.
1t should not be done until the plants
are out of reach of frosts, and the
ground warm enough TO promcte i'm
mediate growth. a peculiarly OF
the Nansemond variety, is its adap-
tation to a great variety of soils, even
,loamy clays quite heavy, if lying el-
eyated, and manured, not cold or
wet, though usually high sandy soils
are most suitable. Almost any soil
that will produce good corn will pro-
duce this crop, except low alluvial
ground where there is too much vega
table mould which causes excessive
running to, vines. New ground pro-
bduces this crop well where there is
not too much vegetable deposite and
moisture. Turf should be first sub
dued with another crop, corn or
wheat is favorable. Use animal rath-
er than vegetable manure, that is,
from the stable rather than the straw
stack, / Have used ashes apple

tory results. Till deeply-all the

Ny preference is to plant in ridges.
Take two horse plow and throw
four furrows together, making the
ridges about three and half feet
apart from centre to centre. Set the
plants separately fourteen inches a.
part in the ridge. I generally use
audible, thrusting it into the ground
about four inches, then set the plant
and press the dirt around it, leaving
a cavity around each plant to coHect
the rain. -l go
CULTURE.-Commence tilling with
an adjustable cultivator that can be
adapted to the space between the
ridges and throw back the earth with
wide shovel pillow, re- forming the
ridges. In using the hoe, particular
ly after the vines have commenced
running, be careful not to strike in
to the ground deeply near them lest
" q should cut off the best of the pro-
jecting tubers. Do not cut the vines
nor cover with earth but lay them on
the ridges out of the way. If they
have taken root it will not harm to
lift them and some think it beneficial
in wet seasons and on ground pro-
ducing excessive growth of vines; as
they take root from time to time, thus
checking the growth and assisting
the tubers. Keep the ground in
good ORDER do not hoe down the
ridges but preserve them.
Dig for use when they are large
enough to make it desirable, as the
Nansemond has the quality o! being
good for the table at any stage of
growth. Harvest when the frost first
kills the leaves; before the tubers can
be injured by the,cold ground as it |
injares their keeping very much. |
