Fall PIOwiux for Corn

Mr.. Myron N. Myrick communi-
Gates to the Prairie Farmer his
experience touching fall blowing
for corn, and it might be well to
remember and try his method the
coming fall. He says:
81 say 10y all means take fall
blowing for corn, if you want a
big crop, providing it is done in the
right way. l have followed one
plan for the last five years, and 1
DO not fail to have a larger crop
than IN any other way. 1t is as fol
lows: AS soon after stacking as
the weeds and grass that grow up
after harvest are in bloom, / pillow
az shallow as the pillow will run
mot deeper than two and a half
inches) with good pillow that COW
ers every thing up we'll. Then the
next spring / put on three horses,
and set the pillow down from eight
to ten inches, which turns up fresh
dirt and gets the weeds out of the
way. By following this plan ] get
the good of the weeds, when, if /
waited until they went to seed and
got dry, We would get more weed
seed, and not more than one-fourth
as much manure; and every farmer
knows that the more green stuff is
plowed under the better, and of the
weed seed We have enough already.
If 10 pillow late, after the weeds have
gone 10 seed, | would prefer TO pillow
deep, and not stir in the spring, ex
cept with a harrow. l have had
disputes on the subject, with my
neighbors, but the crop generally
settles the question.

Remedy for Collie fu Hor.es.

-n-CN1 AOE O0AtC Id Horses.
At a late meeting of the New
York Farmers Club, Mr.. r. How
ell, of Shiloh, New Jersey, gave the
following "uhfailing remedy for
collie in horses which he has seen
tried in the worst cases, and never
knew it to fail of giving instant re-
lief. He says; cit is simply the
application of hot cloths. Take a
piece of carpet, blanket, or any
thick material, large enough to
cover the horse from his fore to his
hind legs, and from his spine to the
floor, as he lies; wiring it out of hot
water as hot as you can possibly
handle it. You need not fear scald-
ing the animal. Apply this to the
animal and cover it with a similar
dry cloth. As soon as the heat di-
minishes much, dip the cloth again
in hot water. This plan will, within
an hour, cure the worst case of
collie" ~ le
AKoTHER.-Take one pint of
whisky, half gill of spirits of ture
pentine, and half gill of spirits of |
eamphor. Dilute these ingredients
in water sufficient TO ill quart bot
tie. Use it as drench, and it will
afford relief in ten minutes.

Cnrn Culture.
The following is from a CORES

The following is from a cores
pondent of the Prairie Farmer.
| would like the opinion Of
brother farmers in. regard to the
cultivation of corn, and in order
to obtain it will give my objections
TO the present mode as practiced in
this vicinity, which is TO use the
shovel pillow in its various forms,
the most predominant being the
riding cultivator. In justice | must
say they have been vigorously APP
piled, as the condition of our horses
(after our corn has been laid By
every season., and our cribs in the
fall, as we'll as certain weeds in the
field, especially of a wet season,
will testify.
When the soil is dry and the
weeds small, / have no difficulty
in killing weeds and cultivating the
corn properly, but if the soil is
damp with frequent showers, dur
ing the first blowing, we assist the
growth of the corn bnt little, and
Kill but few weeds, and even if the
ground is in good condition after,
we can do but little good, as the
shovel will not cover the weeds; it
INST merely sets them out again as
fast as plowed up.
But my greatest objection to the
shovel-plow, new in general use, is,
in cultivating corn of good size,
say waist to knee high (two to four
feet. The roots Of corn of that
size extend quite across the row,
and if the corn has any weeds in
the hill, the pillow must be run I'M
der them TO throw them out, and
frequently the stalk is tilted by
loosening the roots on one or both
sides, which gives the corn a sickly
appearance for some time. When
it does get a start, the desired ear
is often wanting, or it is, at most, a
nubbin. | have frequently had
one third of the stalks, on an aver
age, without a nubbn, even, and
not over three stalks TO the three
feet eight inches each way, on good
ground and no weeds. Again, a
portion of the field has failed TO
get the.last blowing, but it did not
show any lack of growth or corn
from the neglect; indeed, if any.
thing, the corn was better for it.
My object has always been to kill
ali weeds at the first blowing, and
10 run the pillow a little further from
the corn each time. BLtthe last
time through the pillow stock is al

which l think accounts for the
want Of increase to the crop from
the last blowing. 49, EfGS
In my opinion, the objects aimed
at and the end to. accomplish in
cultiyatingN corn is that we should

the surface to the action of the at

as possible, and at each blowing to

DIR. Loring of Salem, Mass
strongly urges upon our farmers
the great importance of growing
much more extensively root crops
for stock feeding, during our long,
cold winters. On this branch of
farm culture, the doctor can speak
advisedly, from experience, as he
keeps on his farm half a dozen
horses, forty mich cows, oxen,
young cattle, sheep and swine, to
correspond He has grown all
kinds of root crops for stock feed
ing, and, after long and careful
observation, has come to the con-
clusion that the Swedish turnip
(ruta baga and the yellow globe
mangel-wurtzel are the two most
valuable and profitable roots grown
for cattle feeding, and these roots
ne grows IN large quantities. Good
hay and turnips, and no grain, are
freely feed to his horses, and all
other of his farm stock, except
mich cows. Turnips, when freely
feed to cows, giving milk ere apt
to give the milk, cream and butter,
the turnip taste. His horses, fed
on hay and turnips, do much better
than when their feed is hay, oats,
and carrots. His mich COWS are
fed on good hay and yellow globe
mangel-wurtzels, which give in
crease of flesh, fat, milk, cream,
butter and greenbacks.

/ A correspondent Of the Western
Rural makes the following sug~
gestions:
| Many of our farmers do not know
the important value of grass as feed
for hogs; at least, one would think
SO, when their hogs, of all ages,
may be seen during the whole sum-
merlin small! yards, or at least on
very scanty pasture. Farmers who
know the real value of such feed
would as soon think Of raising cat
tie, and making milk and butter,
BY feeding their stock grain alone,
during the whole summer, as to un-
dertake to raise hogs, and make the
business profitable, without a good
supply of grass. | must say that
some men make pork with little or
no grass, and find it more profitable
than selling their grain; but, if |
they would raise less corn and more
grass, their net profits would be two |
or three dollars to one otherwise,
and at much less cost of labor.
You will frequently see large |
fields of tame pasture dotted all
over with cattle, when on the same
farm the hogs are in small yards
eking out poor existence on dry
corn. If the owner knew that if
the same amountof grass consumed
by small portion of his cattle,
was given TO his hogs the profits on
the latter would be two to one on
the former, you would certainly see
a reform. lie would put his hogs
on pasture Immediately, if he had
to dispose of part of his cattle in
order to do so.
A good supply Of grass for
breeders is of untold value. They |
should be put on pasture two or three
weeks before breeding time, as it
increases the milk greatly. Breed
ers, on a good supply of grass
with some corn, will not only re-
tain their flesh but grow continual
ly, and be easily fattened in the Fall
and winter, while the pigs will be
large and healthy, and their grcwth
will not be checked during the
winter If breeders, with their
pigs are confined III small yards
during the summer, and fed on
grain alone, it will take two of the
former to make a shadow in the
fall, while the latter will be small
md poor, and go into winter quar-
5ers good subjects for disease. 1t
IS the practice of many farmers to
ct their pigs roam at large over
,he whole farm. The result is, the i
pigs do we'll but the corn fields and
patches suffer greatly forit which T
s great loss. This loss might be
,asily obviated, and the same gain
with very little labor
md expense.
Farmers frequently make mis-
axes by putting their hogs on pas
ure in early spring, before the
,rass gets good start, and while
he ground is yet soft, with natures
ooters undisturbed the result is
hey go into the agricultural bust
ess, and soon prepare the ground
Or re-seeding. Hogs should have
heir rooters cut; if not, they will
DON ruin a pasture, and keep a
ard in miserable condition. The
'est plan to spoil their rooters is to
end at once and procure a Buckeye
Iog-tamer; it willdo it perfectly.
The writer has been so situated
Ie had no pasture. In that case |
feeding my hogs green
ats as soon as it was tall enough to
now, and continued it till after
l found that they thrived
much better fed that way, with half
atoms of corr than with corn
lone, and the former was much
heaper.
