THINNING CoRN.-Prof. Roberts, OF
Cornell University, made some expert.
ments in growing corn upon the college
farm last season, the results of which are
valuable. He planted three plots OF
three-sixteenths of an acre each with
corn, and thinned the hills in one lot to
three stalks, another to four stalks to a
hill; the third was not thinned. The
first plot yielded at the rate of 16O BUSH
els, the second 125 bushels and the third
100 bushels (of earsj to the acre. Mr..
Roberts states, as the result of many ex.
periments prior to these, at the Iowa
Agricultural College, that the heaviest
crops of corn were made by growing
three stalks to hill, and that two stalks
to hill will produce more than five
stalks. If every stalk produces an ear,
and corn is planted three feet apart each
way, there will be nearly 100 bushels Of
shelled grain per acre. To grow maxi
mum crops Of corn, then, it is only nee
essary to grow one ear upon stalk, and
ears of such . size that hundred of
them will make bushel of grain. In
view. of this, it is strange that with SO
prolific grain as corn, yield Of 100
bushels to the acre should be consider
ed as something almost impossible to be
Obtaincd.-Am. Agrieulturist.
INDIAN Corn IN FRENCH AGRICUL.
TURE.-Quite a revolution in the agri-
culture of the south of France, by the
cultivation of maize for green fodder,
and its preservation in green state
chopped and mixed with straw, in
trenches, for winter consumption. 1t is
peculiarly adapted to warm climates
and dry seasons, and is not liable to
those influences that diminish the yield
of grass, clover and vetches; for it the
sun is powerful auxiliary. The maize
is we'll manured, and yields from thirty
to seventy-fve tons per acre. In this
manner maize will as completely trans
form the agriculture of the south as beet
has that of the north. Beet yields from
twenty to thirty tons per acre, and after
distillation one-half of this quantity re-
turns in the shape of pulp, which, when
preserved in trenches, mixed or unmix-
ed, with cut wheat straw, is considered
equal to three or four tons of hay.-Am.

To cure a horse Of birdie breaking, get a
piece of BEDFORD, four times the length of
the horse and double it in the middle, and at
the double end make loop, through which
pass the animals tail. Then cross the cord
over his back, and pass both ends through
the halterring under his chin and tie both
ends of the cord to the ring through
which this halterstrap plays, the end of the
halter being attached to billet of wood.
Should the horse attempt to pull back, the
strain will be on the root OF HIS tall before
the halter.strap will become tightened and he
will at once step forward to avoid it. After
so fixing him few times in the stable he
will abandon any such propensity.

A correspondent of the Western Rurul
writes: When | was little boy on my faith.
er's farm, | once took little experiment on
my own account, and carried it through Sc
cretly. for the purpose of enjoying the sur
prise it might create. With this view, as soon
as father got through planting his corn, Sc
lected and marked off, unknown to him, a
small space near the center of the field. TIC
each stalk of the corn planted on this space
gave special attention, for the purpose OF
binding out how much each grain planted
could be made to produce by giving it extra
manure and extra hoeing. When the corn
was gathered, the difference between my pet
stalks aud the rest Of the field attracted my
fathers attention, and | remember how puz
zled he was in trying to account for it. When
at length disclosed the secret he instantly
inquired how much extra work and manure
had applied. Tell me this exactly, said he
and can tel; the value Of the experiment
told him had simply doubled what he had
given to the rest of the field After eXamln
ing the result and comparing it with the rest
of the field he found that his yield was at the
rate of forty four bushels to the acre, and
nine at the rate of so bushels. Now, said
he, if extra culture and extra manure are
good for single stalks, it must be good forthe
whole crop. So the next year year he adopt
ed my plan for the whole crop, and found
that the gain was even larger, by several
bushels, than in lny experiment; and he also
found that the cost of each buShel was re
duced to SIX cents.

FARM AND GARDEN.
TRANSPLANT small Trees.

When selecting trees of any sort to trans
plant the aim always should be to choose
those that are small and thrifty rather than
large ones that have grown little or none at
all during year or two past. 1t is grave
mistake to conclude that large trees when re-
moved and transpanted will commence bear
ing much sooner than small trees When
trees are only one or two years old, ii the
roots are removed with the stems, they will
grow rapidly the first season after being
transplanted, But if trees are large it will be
difficult TO remove the roots Hence large
trees will be far more liable to die than small
ones. Or if they live the roots will be so
badly mutilated that young trees will soon be
much larger than ones. In order to
live and grow luXurlantly trees, when taken
up, must have a mat of roots 1t is difficult to
persuade our impatient planters into a proper
system of reducing the heads of their trees
They will search the country over for
large trees-"the larger the beforehand then
they will not remove an inch Of their wood,
that would be directly opposed to their prln
ciple-their motto, the larger the better"
Experience, however, will remedy this but
it viii be dearly bought in many cases. The
experienced cultlvater, when he goes to pur-
chase trees, or select them for planting, will
endeavor to procure tirSt-rate sorts; and in
stead of looking merely at the height of the
trees, Will see that they have thrifty, stout
bodies and good roots; the mere matter of
height is of no importance to him, if every
thing else be right. The inexperienced, as a
general thing, will cast his eye around for the
tallest tree, and have that if he can, regard ing
all the other considerations of minor impOr-
lance What a mistake he makes If cir
cumstances connected with the weather, the
soil, or the time of planting be untavorable,
you may have left too much of head or side
branches on your trees the growth of the top
may not be seconded or aided by the roots
sufficiently, and the tree will either stand still
or flag and die In such cases the remedy,
in addition to that already alluded to, will be
cutting back, closer, thus reducing the grow
ing surface and lessening the demand upon
the roots. We have often had to cut back
closer than we wished to make the tree start
vigorously. Last season We planted some
pear trees in a damaged state apparently
quite hopeless cases, all dried and shriveled
up. Some we pruned every branch off the
stem, leaving only one eye at the base of each,
to make new branch. Others we cut stem
and all off within a foot of The ground.
Nearly all lived; but while the former made
but an inch or two of growth of young
branches the latter threw up numerous strong
branches from foot to two feet in leng h,
and in the autumn were much the handsOm-
est and best trees, better rooted and every
way superior to those that were not headed
in. Many of our peach-trees were cut back
three times before the new growth would
start-N. Y. Herald.

The routine of the farmers work has goo
to threshing buckwheat, and people are
talking about pancakes. Everybody knows
that buckwheat pancakes, when properly
made and nicely baked, are delicious food,
but the wholesOmeness of said diet is not gen.
orally known. II is Il well-attested fact
that the use OF buckwheat pancakes makes
some people itch; hence it is believed that
SAID diet is not desirable. What are the
facts in this case? When the liver is torpid
some tonic is necessary to carry off and ex-
pei the surplus bile which has accumulated
IN the system; thence We hear and read Of
blood purifiers, both liquid and glObe-foTm,
and some people prefer to take the nauseous
quack medicine rather than eat nice pan
cakes, which give tone to the stomach, action
TO the liver and general health to the person
by cleansing the vitals, moving inward dis
ease 10 the cuticle; then when people scratch
they say hard words against nice buckwheat
pancakes, which are both nutritious food and
palaiable medicine.-Cor. Western Rural
