BRISTOL AND PARIS FARMERS
A CLUB.

| Question for discussion, "What kinds of
grains and seeds pay best for the farmers TO
raise"
o. sToNEBREAKER.
/ I find that corn is thu most profitable cron
for me to raise. plant mostly the yellow
cght rowed corn, with horse planter. in
rows four feet apart one way and two feet
the other. and cultivate one way, and never
use a hoe. Always drag my corn just as it is
coming out of the ground with a common
drag and think it richly pays. I think my
horse planter paid for itself the first year.
Cut up my corn by hand and stock it when
dry and feed without husking. Do not think
it would pay to raise more than could be fed
on the farm. M
A. GIDDINGs.
I would like recipe TO take the grass aud
weeds out OF my corn without working for
| it. My business is such that cannot attend
to nav cLrn when it first comes up, and the
grass usually gets the start. | do not believe
our corn cultivators cultivate deep enough.
especially the horse hoe. | have had good
results from blowing with common pillow.
If could I would, pillow my ground one day
and plant the next. The club agrees in
/ the last remark 41 M

cultivate with horse hoe, and can literally
hoe the corn. Think the shallower you cul.
tiyate the less weeds you will have. Think
the dent will produce more shelled corn to
the acre and the yankee more, and better
fodder. Planted with hand planter last year
and think tie planters payed for item

Think 1t pays to raise corn. Have tired

have used sulky cultivator and like it
first rate if have man that knows how to
use it. One man had tended twenty acres
with one, and had short days to work. Think
it pays to raise Timothy seed
n. G. BLACKMAN.
Think the corn crop pays best. Put in
my crop lastyear with hand planter and It
cost me twenty dollars. Have bought an
interest in a two horse planter and think 1t
will not cost near as much this year. Cut
my corn with self raking reaper and bind and
stack. Have no difficulty in keeping it
from moulding. Stack 1t when dry and
stack it acel1. Like small stacks

Have made my wheat pay as " ell as any
thing. Think that it pays To raise clover
and grass seed. Would CUT and bind grass
seed ana thrash with machine Should like
to know If the Club thinks it pays to raise
clover and grass seed.
Several voices / think 1t does pay.
member then inquired for the opinion
of the Club, as to the quantity OF clover and
timothy seei required to the acre. Some
said for clover four quarts, some six, some
eight, and one said he had sown eleven half
bushels on Twelve acres and did hot think
1t was too much, For timothy from four to
eight quarts ger acre

II nothing else il before the Club. [ should
like to know what to do for cattle that have
over eaten of corn or meal.
Fl. G. Blackman Give brine and milk

tween the small rib and the hip bone, about
two inches from the back boue
