of grass roots to commence with, and then il
is of benefit. Also there Is no use in
top dressing land too wet, but It may be
drained and then apply manure. | hardly
think II pays to raise corn ut present prices
J. g. Ilovey; If we relate our experience
here ut these meetings, we should tell what
the results are. Whether we can keep more
stock than we did previous to our so-caled
improvements, that is the main thing We
can make speeches here, but perhaps there is
nothing very practical in all we say. Some
one has said here tonight that manure docs
no good till the plant begins TO ripen | see
that rows of corn planted with manure show
It every time. When ! pillow up piece of
corn, my great object is to prepare it also for

plant with phosphate in the hill. That saves
labor to what it does to use barn manure in
the hill. A great many farmers think green
sward is not fit ut all for corn, they must
pillow the piece year or two previous,
and perhaps get it thoroughly stocked with
weeds before II is fit for corn, they think.
But newly broken land is really in the best
condition. 1t is the most mellow at this time,
and the spaces between the burrows are ben

is worms, but they can be destroyed by ash

When water my horse near his barnyard

speaking more candidly, must assert that

Mr. Owens: think it is great object to
fit ground for hay, but not to overlook the
Importance of grain. What manure we use
in growing other crops we cannot consider

its price. always raise my own wheat, and
think every farmer should. Raised n little
over 100 bushels last year
The President closed the discussion, agree
ing with most of the others in regard to the
Importance of keeping the hay crop good,
and also keeping supply of the various
crops needed upon the farm. We regret not
having room to report his remarks at this
time.
