MULCHING FIELD CRoPS.-The
stirring of the soil in dry seasons, is
well known to make it more moist. or
rather to prevent the crop from dying
up. 1t is usually supposed to be due
to the absorptiye power of soil for
moisture, removing it from the atmos.
phere,-a somewhat unsatisfactory
theory, when the air itself is very dry.
The latest explanation, which is gain
ing some ground, is, that the loose, dry
soil, produced by the hoeing or cultiva-
ton, acts as mulch, preventing the
drying up Of the soil by checking evap
Grafton from the moist soil beneath,
Probably both explanations are correct.
Anyway, let's do good deal of 'smul-
ching" this month, by frequent cultiva-
ton.

Planting or Drilling Corn.

EDS. COUNTRY GENTLEMAN-Shall
we plant corn in checks, or drill in
continuous rows, and cultivate only one
way? Each method has its advantages,
and each is practiced by equally good
farmers. Corn in drills will produce
larger crops than in checks, provided
the season is favorable and the soil rich
and clean. But no farmers have yet
reached the limit Of large crops of corn
in hills. With rows 81 feet each way,
and three large ears per hill, the product
would be 40 bushels Of ears per acre
a yield that far surpasses the average.
Most farmers think that they fail to
grow large corn from lack Of stalks, and
hence plant six or seven grains per hill.
Four is as many as should be dropped
where grain is the object. If fodder is
desired, still plant the grain thin and
drill in piece by itself as thlckly as
you choose. 1t is impossible to reach
the best result in corn crop, as in
everything else, by trying to do two
things at once. Even four stalks to a
hill are too much for the largest yield of
grain. The plants crowd each other too.
closely and the ears are shortened or
imperfectly filed Herein is the
advantage Of drilling corn. With con-
tinuous rows six, seven or more stalks
may be grown in the space whicha hill
would occupy, and withoutcrowding the
plants. Some very largo crops are
grown in this way. Mr.. jesse Dewey
Of this county, few years ago, grew
], 300 bushels of ears of corn on 12t
acres Of clover sod. He always has
corn after clover, and always drills his \
seed, narrowing the ground !horouehlvt
before and after the corn is up, and until
t is six or seven inches high. The |
lrag destroys few plants, but he drills
hickly enough to leave a good stand. |,
