Farmer, read agricultural books and
papers, attend meetings devoted to your
calling, compare your crops with those
of your neighbors. If you doubt the
prepriety OF certain culture for certain
crops, and desire information relative to
the field of your labor, write to the
commissioner of agriculture.
Before cutting up corn the seed corn
should be selected, taking ears from
stalks that have borne two or more good
ones. The tops of the selected stalks
may be broken down, to mark them, and
when the crop is Gu t, left standing until
the ears are perfectly ripe, then they
should be gathered and stored in dry,
cool place. Such selection of seed will
tell well in the next crop,
Cabbage has superior value for feed

contains one part feshsiorming substance
to three of heat>producing, while in

A writer in an exchange says: Expe.

fetal manuring must become part Of
our settled practice in the future, and
making few careful experiments will
give valuable experience as to the use Of
these fertilizers.
