THINNING Corn IN TUE HILLS-Thinning
should always be done Us soon as practicable
after the corn has come ". This is usually
done at the fret hoeDg but should be delayed
ill danger from the grub, or cut-worm il over.
Unless careful lab0rers are employed, many hills
will be neglected. SupeIauous STALKS may be
removed ut any convenient time, even in lowery
weather, when the soil is too wet to be worked
with cutiyators or hoes The best manner Of
doing this IL to cut them off close to the ground,
with sharp knife, and drop them near the
standing corn The stalks should be removed
from the middle OF the hill, that the remaining
lans may stand as far from esch other as pos
-ble the farther they stand apart the larger
the ears will grow When the stalks are pulled
up, they will often loosen and break the roots
OF those that are left. but if cut off as directed,
The roots soon die II care be not exercised in
dropping only proper number OF kernels IN
bill, much labor will be required to thin out
large field. Stll 1t il better to do so than to
allow five or SIX stalks to grow where there
should be only three, or at most four, There
will be more and better grain on four stalks than
On larger number.-AgricIturid.

Hoes IN THE APPLE ORCHARD N body sends
such apples to market as my ntghbor John
Jacobs. lie always has apples to sell, and gets
the highest prices. Folks prefer large apples /;
and such are always packed 10 Jacobs b rres.
You might search them with y candle and not
find knotty fruit or u worm hole. Such
Rhode Island Greetings and Rnxbury kussets |
have never met within the old States. They are
as handsome as anything IN the virgin OF tn
wet.
WAS going by Jacobs orchard last summer,
and had the curiosity to call and examine for
myself. Says |, . Neighbor, what is there 10
your soil that makes such smooth, large apples.
They are a third bigger than any thing can get,
and my trees look as well ID yours
" The secret Is not IN the soil, John replied
with a twinkle IN his eye. " but OF it DO you
see those grunters therel My pork brings me
fifty cents a pound-elght N h3shi and the bal
ance in fruit | began % pasture nv orchard
ten years ago with hogs, aud since that time
have had no trouble with wormy fruit Apples
as general thing, don't fall from the tree I'M
less something is the matter with them. The
apple worm aud curcuIlo lay their eggs in the
fruit and the apples drop early. The pigs de-
your tho apples, and by September every I'M
sound apple Is gone and have nothing but fair
fruit lett. TIE crop Of inst cts for the next year
is destroyed by the pigs. They root around
under the trees, keep the coil loose, manure the
land some, and work over what manure spread
The apples help the pigs, and the pigs help the
apples.
saw johns secret at once, and have prof,ed
by it, never had 70 lew cts as this spring
aud have given the pigs credit for it, 10 turn
ing the orchard mic pasture, put in pigs
not landpikes, with shouts like leVers. You
might lose trees AS well as insects In that case
But well bred animals with judlclOus shouts,
will root 10 a su hdued ana Christian like man.
