Plan for Profitable Corn Crow CROWN I Z


| Eds PRAIRIE FARMER / notice an arti
Gle copied from your paper on Corn Culture
lin which the writer says he uses Roller
and Harrow, after planting, and is open to
conviction, for better plan. "a. SAD r.la
| There are two or three more men in the
state who cultivate on the following plan
and run their crops up to over 100 bushels
per- acre.
FIRST Plow only Elk inches in width
and twelve inches deep-put the strength
of team on depth and narrow furrow. A
six inch furrow pulverizes much better, than
a twelve-inch furrow sub-soil. agfaaIa
SECOND; Roll the ground before the sun
has had chance to make bricks of all tho

THIRD; Plant with Browns PLANTER
and harrow immediately after planting
FOURTH For the first time cutivatinQ,
use long narrow Bull Tongue, for the in
side shovel of two horse cultivator. Let
1t run down as deep as the ground was
plowed, and near the corn. After the first
time use shovel plows, setting them so as to
throw the dirt slightly towards the corn.
Keep the ground mellow aud clean is the
best rule for the number of tiIaes to- 20
over. sfe esaag viaSn g4sF q u :
The above plan was pursued by man
who took worn out farm, aud run his
crop up to 1879 bushels per. acre. Corn
cultivated on this plan is not liable to be in
jured by drought The farmer who plows
only six inches deep, and does not produce
even that, loses one half the fertiizing pre-
perties of his soil. | have been close OBJ
server of corn culture for several years and
am satisfied that he crop Of Illinois can be
nearly or quite doubled. The same may
be said OF the winter wheat crop if farmers
had proper machinery. But they have not,
though 1t can be made.

When Roses Bloom Again.
BY GEORGE W. ELLIOTT.

Ger scattered roses low the winds are signing;
Sad spirits through the hays air are flying;
Each dewdrop scenes mourners tear;
zach purple gems upon the oak are growing;
Gay orange robes are round the naples flowing !;
And all proclaim the autumn here,
Though purple stain and orange hue
Will fade, soon brighter scenes well view,
In that sweet season when
The brook shall shall burst his icy chain,
The green grass carpet DER the plain,
And roses bloom again.
CHORUS:
Though purple stain and orange hue
VIII fade, soon brighter scenes Wen view,
In that sweet season when
The brook shalt burst his icy chain.
And green grass carpet o er the plain,
and roses bio m again.
Fond hopes, alas, to funeral pyres now turning,
Sadly within are like sumac burning;
ct, like the pine tree grand
HeaVenward looking and all sadness cheering
Faith far above the cloudy gloom is peering
into the brighter land
AS Nature spreads with soothing hand
Her pail of slnmber Ger the land,
To give us life anew,
So smiling Spring, with genial rain
And balmy breath brings in her train
Each flower now lost from view.
CHORUS:
Though purple stain and orange hue
VIII fade. some brighter scenes we ii view,
In that sweet season when
The brook shall burst his icy lain,
The green grass carpet DER the plain.
And roses bloom again
