Planting Corn in rriangies.

Mr.. F. Tanning, engineer and road-m
ter, sends us a diagram and Specifications, p
showing how by planting corn in trianges
instead of in squares, that an addition of
seventeen per cent. can be planted on an
acre, at three feet ten inches between the
hills, to planting in squares. Almost any
farmer understands the problem. BY plant
ing the hills in the second row, opposite the
middle between the hills of the first row
and thus alternating in each row, while the
desired distance between the hills is obtain.
ed, the rows will be drawn much closer to
gether, requiringa cultivator to work in G
narrower space to clear the corn. This is &
good plan to lay out an orchard on, but i
would be found inconvenient for cultivat
ing corn. If it is desired to plant NOR,
corn on an acre, the better plan is to plan
in drills, and thin to one stalk in every ten
to fifteen inches in the row, according t,
the strength of the ground for feeding tn
crop. Planted with a drill in this way
corn can be worked very close and clean b,
running the cultivator one way between tn
rows, and on strong land the crop be con
siderably increased.

Most of the diseases of cattle are caused
by wrong treatment-too much feed at one
time,too little at another, etc. If cattle and
horses were fed, and watered, and used prop
erly, there would be little disease.
TO clear cstern water add two ounces
powdered alum and two ounces borax to
twenty-barrel cistern of rain water that is
blackened or oily, and in a few hours the
sediment will settle and the water be clari-
fed and fit for washing, and even for cook,
ing purposes.
