SUCCESSFUL CULTIVATION OF INDI-
AN CORN.
(From The Herald.l

The crop of Indian corn is usually a reliable
index to the fertility of the soil. When land
will yield only fifteen to twenty bushels per
acre the crop will scarcely cancel the expense
Of cultivation. Indian corn is the great Ameri-
can cereal, and it should be the pride, as it is
Ahe interest, of the farmers of the nation to
make the most of it by making all reasonable
efforts to produce the very largest yield and
finest quality Of which the soil and climate ara
capable; it 10 for the honor as we'll as the pro.
fit of every producer to aim at obtaining the
highest yield per acre that can be made, aud
not allow the general average to fall below the
achievements of careful cultivatorS. Yet q refer
encs to the carefully collected statistics Of the
agricultural department, for different years
between 1865 and 1873, will show that tho
average yield is very low, being only about
one-fourth that obtained by the best oultivators.
This lesson forcibly illustrates the utility and
value of the annual statistics collected and
published by the department. There ars
numerous we'll attested instances in which
yields of from 10 to ITO bushels of good shell
cd corn have been obtained from one acre Of
land. The Carroll County, fMd,) AgricuI-
tural society, in 1878, gave the premium Of
el00 TO Mr.. j. Brown, of Baltimore county,
for producing on one acre Of ground 1909
bushels Of good, sound corn and $3.50 pounds
Of good fodder. 1t was a timothy meadow,
and was moved two years. then plowod deep,
Subsoiled, and sown in wheat one year; then
spread over lightly with stable manure, which
was plowed under; then 500 pounds of bone
dust spread broadcast, we'll narrowed and
rolled ; then marked off with burrows three and
q half feet apart then a compost Of ashes, hog
manure, salt, and gypsum spread along in the
burrows then the corn was dropped in the
iurrow, kernels about six inches apart. and co.
vered two inches deep; it was planted the 10th
of May, but from too much wet and rain it did
not come up we'll; again he ran burrows in the
same way between the first ones, putting one
sack Of guanO in the burrows to hasten germina-
ton and growth, and planted in the same
manner as the first time, which came up we'll
about the 1st June narrowed several times,
until the corn was too high then plowed twice
With a shovel pillow the deep blowing and
subsoiling prevented evil effects of the drought.

AS MANURE,
Produce Markets ReUleO)

We learn from the Sucrerie hdigSno thas
in consequence of the low price of Molasses,
attempts are being made in France to intro
duce it in the place of manure. It is used
either in a liquid form, diluted with seven
parts o~fwater, or as a powder and just at this
moment it is cheaper than ordinary manure,
while it contains all its essential elements in
equal abundance. AS soon, however, as the
cod weather comes on, the Molasses will again
be required for Cattle Feeding purposes, and
will probably rise to a price at which it would
be useless for manure. An attempt was made
last year to Introduce the Beet MoIasses to the
farmers in this country, and with such success
that it is likely thar a largo quantity viii be
wanted next winter.
