First Working Of Corn.

II the land has been packed By rain
since the corn was planted, run clsse
and break deep--if the land is close and
open, the plowing is not important. In
that event use plows that will go over
rapidly and save labor--a shovel, or
sweep, or cultivator will answer. Avoid
throwing much dirt to the yoting corn,
only enough to cover M any young
grass that may be present, but be sure
it is well covered. Much hoeing will not
pay in corn crop, the plow alone
onght very nearly to make-of course
thinning and some chopping is general,
" unavoidable. Thin to stand as soon
as danger Of frost and worm is over.
Nothing is more preiudicial to n plant
than having another plant with the
same wants growing beside 1.-THE
struggle for existence then becomes in
tensifed. II the nnidd'cs are not very
hard or foul, and time presses, they
need not be ploughcd ont at this work

give cotton its frs: working Just 90
sccn as it will bcar it. The farmer
who keeps we'll ahead not ouiy stands
the best chance to make the best cfope,
but will do it with very much less actual
labor than tho lRGEaTd. Let it never
be forgotten that the TINA to kill grass

Well, it was all over again, but I

Young Corr.

We publish below from An exchange,
First working Of young corn" We
wish TO mako a suggestion TO farmers
upon which we request an experiment
this season, and if it proves beneficial
il can be adopted.
Side the young corn go soon as IL
is large enough, with small long
pillow. Ii you can subsoil III the same
furrow so much the better. Let This
first furrow" stand open eight or ten
days, for two reasons: First to allow
the sun to have effect upon the roots Of
the corn. Secondly let the first furrow
remain open so that the young rootlets
when they reach the furrow and cannot
cross over. they will grow downward,
and having commenced to grow down
they will continue to grow into the clay
soil. When the drought comes these
roots extending into the clay will draw
moisture. and keep the corn green ard
growing. After eight or ten days, fill
mp the furrow and plow out the middle.
Try at least few rows as test. We
have tested this and have adopted it on
a small scale, as We cultivate few
acres.

A Hnma.Iade Fertilizer.

Those wishing to get their manurcs
at home, and to utilize material
already on the farm for this purpose,
will find the following cheap though
excellent fertilizer for corn, as wcn ns
for sweet potatoes:
7 Four bushels Of asher.
One bushel land plaster.
Twenty bushels cotton seed.
Ten bushels woods mould,
Tbirty>five bushels compost.
For corn put one pint of the mixturs
to hill. When the supply of ashes
gives out, use five bushels of the land
plaster instead of one.
: For swoet potatoes distribute in the
furrow on which you are going to bed,
The thirty FIVE bushels of compost
should make an ample rnanuring foS

Pile evidence of the truth of this aeser-
ton. Tho enterprise is regarded as
entirely feasible. A German scientific
writer, however, goes so far as to assert

it would eventually turn Europe into

deviation OF the Gulf stream by the
cutting Of the Suez canal, has already
begun to have an influence on the eli

the burning sands of the great African
desert with water, would destroy the

wears. vast tracts of cheap land in tho
Southern and border States have been
purchased by cnterprising Northern
farmers. who have lately converted
them into truck farms, the growth of
cheap steam transit, on land and water,
materially aiding them in their enter
prise. Even SO far South as Florida,
truck farming, for the supplying OF
the Northern market has been found so
profitable ns TO induce great compcti-
tion in that line. The Florida farmers
are now seeking to extend their opera
tons to the Western portions Of the
Southern States. They arc looking for
a,market in kentucky, Tennessee, and
the Northern sections of Georgia, Ala
bama and Mississippi. which, though
prices are not so renunerative as along
the Eastern seaboard, will relieve the
pressure Of recent competition. The
principal difficulty is lack of rsilroa5
advantages. It is only question OF
time, however, when this difficulty will
be oyercome.--Ner YORK Sh.ppirg
