Fall Preparation OF Corn Laud.

Corn land can be prepared nearly ready
for planting the fall previous as well as not.
1t can be plowed, manure spread upon 1t and
thoroughly narrowed in and allowed to stand
till the next spring, when a thorough har-
rowing and caltivating will bring it into con-
dition for planting. 1t may be struck off into
rows, and little superphosphate and other
fertilizers placed in the hole 10 give the corn
an early start.
Several advantages attend this method.
Inc land can be plowed in the fall when
there is plenty of time for it, and the ma
Dure hauled and applied by spreading on.
The draining during the winter and spring is
thoroughly mingled with the soil by the fire.
quent raiEs and melting SHOWS, leaving it in
good condition to nourish crops. Ground
thus prepared can be planted ca lier in the
spring than if not plowed till spring, few
days being sufficient to dry it off sufficiently
10 plant, and the farmer will be able to plant
several acres if he wishes to, as it will take
put short time to do the work.
Some prepare corn in this way, and put
Inc manure IN the hill covering it and then
plant in the spring, but we think that the
best results ale obtained by spreading on
enough manure to secure good cron and
putting only superphosphate or some con-
centrated fertilizer In the hill. This method
will be of advantage to those who carry on
their farms with very little help and 90 not
have time in the spring to put in all the crops
they would like to plant. journal
