Nome, &:arnr anb 8aroe1.:
RAISING CORN.

RAISING CORN.
| A great mistake has been made BY
many of the farmers of Wisconsin il
trying to raise too much feed. It is a
well known fact among good farmers,
that there is more real profit in converting
the pr oducts of the farm into port and
beef, wool and mutton for the market,
than there is in selling the grain. An
acre of good corn will make more than
twice the quantity of either Of the above
| articles than an acre of wheat will.
Therefore, good common sense should
cause the farmers of Wisconsin to raise
more corn and less wheat, and more
pork and beef.
There is more profit, and more bush
els in an acre Of corn on ground that is
veil prepared, and thoroughly titled
than in two acres but half titled. How
common it is in Wisconsin to see two
crops growing in the same corn field
! and the weeds grow more luxuriant than
the corn, the weeds absorbing the am
monia Of the soil just at the time it is
most needed to fill out the ears of corn.
To derive the most profit from corn
raising, the ground should be first liber-
ally manured then pillow fen inches or
foot deep. The rows should be four
feet apart and cross each other at right
angles, and only three main stalks al
lowed to grow in each hill. After the
first cultivation. both ways for a horse
and cuitiYator, the hills should be thor
oughly wed by hand, and bowed once.
After that the corn and ground can be
kept clean by the horse and cultivator if
done at the right time. Such has been
my experience.
Another important item in the profit
Of corn raising, will be found in the
stalks for feeding stock ; especially if the
stalks are cut below the ears as soon as
the corn is glazed, aud shocked as fast
as they are cut and then husked and
stacked as soon as the corn is dry
enough to crib.
I think good green cornstalks fed to
mich COWS, will cause a greater flow
and better quality Of milk than any 9th
er forage we raise, and they are much
better for any kind of stock than marsh
hay.
Another benefit derived from corn
raising, where the field has been fire.
quently cultivated and kept clean Of
weeds, is that 1t is nearly, if not quite.
as good a preparation for wheat crop
as a summer fallow-A. Holmes az Wis

DID YOU ever think how ]

DID you ever think how muc b
work a little child does in a day ?
How from sunrise to sunset the
dear little feet patter around-to
us-aimlessly, climbing up here,
kneeling down there, running to an
other place, but never still. Twist
ing and turning, rolling and reach
ing and doubling, as if testing every
bone and muscle for their future
uses! It'll very curious to watch it.
One who does so can well understand
the deep breathing of the rosy little
sleeper as, one arm tossed over the
curly head, it prepares for the next
days gymnastics. A busy creature
is little boy.

A CHAPTER ON NAILS.

Every farmer who has had occasion to
drive nail into seasoned oak posts knows
its liability to bend and break. IF the
point be moistened in the mouth it will
usually drive more kindly. Oil is still
better, but then it is inconvenient to
dip each nail separately into it. Another
point observed, that boards become loose
eventually from the rusting Of the nails,
which communicating to the wood, causes
not only an enlargement of the nail hole,
but the wearing away the nail itself, rem
dering the fence or building shakey and
insecure. This may be prevented by
heating any rough grease unit it smokes,
and then pouring it over the nails to be
used. The grease will penetrate the
pores of the iron, and cause the nails tC
last without rusting, an indefinite pc
Rod. Besides this no trouble will then
be experienced in driving them into the
hardest wood. The reason IS that the
coating of grease prevents contact by air,
and consequent oxydati on. Oxygen is
| the great destroyer Of iron, and moisture
is the inducing cause. Anything which
is kept from contact with the air is pre-
served indefinitely, and if it is kept dry
the effect is measurably the same. Paint
upon buildings prevents the contact O
air and moisture. fthe whole fence o.
building cannot be painted, the head, a
least, of the nails should be touched
with.-Ecperimentdl Farm Jouyra

HOME PATRONAGE An exchange
in dealing with this subject, puts
the case thus forcibly, and the re-
marks are not inapplicable to nmu-
erous localities:
''Every citizen should feel per-
sonal responsibility in building up
the future interests, institutions and
enterprises of his own town. He
should not leave it for others to do,
but should take hold of the work as
though he believed the success of
the town depended on his individual
effort, IF you do not support home
enterprise, how do you expect to be
supported in a home business a? Some
persons have a perfect mania for
going out of town to procure that
which they can get at home, and i'll
nine cases out of ten just as cheap,
as though a foreign article was SO
much better than that at home
This is decidedly wrong and detri-
mental to the place in which you live.
Ii you have any money to spare, be
sure and use it in your own comrnun-
ity, instead of a foreign one. Olive
and let live, should be your motto.
''The only way to build up and
keep town alive, is to spend your
money at home. Hire home me-
chanics, patronize home manufac-
lures, deal with home merchants

you will not be compelled to sell
out and go somewhere else to find a
live town.

SUNNY ROOMS.

Every woman is wise enough and
careful enough to secure for her
houseplants every bit of available
sunshine during the cold winter
months. Great care is taken to get
southern exposure for them. In
deed, if one can secure no other than
north window for her plants, she
has too much love for these uncon-
scious, inanimate things to keep
them in the cold to die outright,
rather than linger out martyr ex-
istence in the shade.
Folks need sunshine quite as
much as plants do. Men and women
who have a fair degree of strength
and the use of their legs can get
out into the world and get a glimpse
of the sunshine now and then if they
choose to do SO, let them live in
rooms with out a northern exposure;
but, if it was possible, let us secure
rooms into which every ray of sun
shine that falls in winter may en-
ter for the little babies who are shut
up in the house, invalids who can
not leave their rooms, and aged peo-
pie who are too infrm to get out
doors. Let us reflect for moment
that these classes Of persons, if kept
in rooms with only north windows,
will suffer just as much from the alb
sence of sunshine as green, growing
plants would do in the same rooms,
and their suffering is of account in
proportion as a human being is bet
ter than a geranium or a fuchsia.-
Let us make some sacrifice, if need
be, in order to give the feeble ones
their measure of sunshine.

NORWAY OATS.

Last spring [ ventured to test the Nor
way oats for myself. The test is pretty
satisfactory and CONCLUSIVE, for this To-
cality.
[ bought two bushe Is of Norways and
paid $500 per bushel, making $500 for
the two bushels. Slowed on two acres
Zone busheI per acre. Threshed from
the two acres 100 bushels, so per acre.
To be sure that changing seed was not
making all the difference, l also bought
% bushels of common oats to SOW at the
same time. Slowed on soil nearly the
same. Yield about % bushels per acre.
I have sold II bushels for one dollar
per bushel, Of Norway oats, leaving SO
bushels on hand. IF I had paid $500
per bushel and bought all Norway oats,
for seed, and sowed six acres, should
have had more oats than [ did, and saved
six acres to SOW or plant with something
else. | think that would have been
quite a saving.
From the result I conclude that Nor
way oats are not humbug, but decided
Improvement on the common oats. L
shall be satisfied to SOW nothing but Nor
way oats this season for my crop of oats.
The season was decidedly bad here for
oats. Some tell me that if they had not
have had any oats at all, as their other
oats failed entirely on account of the
drouth.

being green when the head is ripe. G.
