AGRICULTURAL.
To be IL Successful Farmer.

Many years of experience and OBJ
servation have taught us that two
things are absolutely necessary to
profitable farming; the first settled
policy, and the second, thorough pull
verization and manuring. What is
meant by a settled policy is that a
farmer should ascertain the crops
best suited to his land, as we'll as to
the demands Of the market; and hav-
ing decided on these, to stick to them
through thick and thin, whatever the
fluctuations in price. He will find it
to hit oftener than miss, which is not
the case with those who jump about
from one thing to another, with no
settled rule to go by. No man should
ever engage in special business of
any kind merely because some indl-
vidual has made money by it. 1t re-
quires long experience to grow and
market successfully any special crop,
such as broomcorn, tobacco, ETC., and
We had better increase our experience
with such products as we know than
to fly to new ones, about handling or
cultivation Of which We know bnt lit
Ito or nothing. 1t is in the better
culture and manuring, in farming,
that the greatest improvements are
made. The most effectual way to
lessen the cost Of production is to
increase the yield per acre. There
are hundreds of farmers who for
years have been cultivating forty a
cres of corn for two hundred barrels,
and twenty acres OF wheat for two
hundred bushels and yet find it hard
work to get along. To all such we
should say, put half the land in clover
and give such cultivation and fertlli.
cation to the other halfas will enable
you to raise as much grain on the thlr.
ty acres as you are now doing on the
whole sixty. And although this
could not be expected to be accom-
plished in single year, yet there is
no question that time would soon
bring it about. If you think the Elk
ty acres are too much for you to I'M
dertake at once, try it on few acres,
and we will answer for it that after
you have harvested thirty bushels OF
wheat or seventyfve bushels Of corn
TO the acre on these, you will be so
disguised with your old practice Of
growing the third Of it that you will
be very willing to increase the area
Of your heavier producing lands.

To Grow Zinc Wheat

A heavy crop Of clover, upon which
is applied in early fall from two to
three hundred pounds Of plaster, and
as much more the following April or
May, and the same summer treated
to eight or ten bushels Of lime before
breaking up, is perhaps the best pre-
paratory process to insure three or
four successive crops Of wheat, espec'
tally il the seed wheat he saturated
with brine and an additional five
bushels of lime be applied at each
time OF seeding. Salt is we'll known
to be highly beneficial in preserving
the healthy condition Of both the
land and grain, while it is equally
eficacious in the destruction Of in.
sects-few worms or bugs surviving
in land in which much Of it is present,
In many instances, too, where it has
been used on wheat at the time Of
seeding, it has been found to be es-
sential service in preventing rust and
mildew. Recent reports from Ten
nessee, Missouri and other States
where rust has been most injurious,
state that application Of salt to the
soil particularly where the seed
wheat has been saturated with brlne),
has almost entirely prevented its ap.
pearance. Indeed, from large mass
Of testimony, both from English and
American farmers, We find that salt
applied at the rate Of ten. twenty and
even thirty bushels to the acre on
land sown in wheat has given larger
returns from the cost incurred than
from the apI LEGATION Of anything else.
And il is for this reason that 1t has
come to be so extensively used in On
ondaga county, New York, South
eastern Illinois, where the facilities
for its procurement at so small an ex-
pense are so great-one farmer finding
the application of ten bushels of lime
to the acre to be Of such service to his
wheat as to have induced Lin to in
crease the quantity annually applied
to his land TO thousand bushels.

Towering Vines.

Besides the perennial Towering
vines treated Of in last week s Compi-
ler there is Il large variety of annuais
growing from seed, or FROM bulbs and
roots kept over from the previous sea-
son. Some Of these are old favorites,
and are among the finest vines We
have. New plants have often no 9TH
err, value but their novelty. 1t is said
of the ancient Athenians that they
spent their time in nothing else but
either to tell or to hear some new
thing" There are cultivators OF flow
ers who have this Athenian spirit.
They make little account of flow ers
that are common, however beautiful
they may be, and 60 into ecstacies
over such as are new and rare, even
though they have neither beauty nor
fragrance to recommend them. In
the matter Of flowers, as we'll as in
other matters, it is best always to hold
fast to that which is good, even though
it be frosted by antiquity.
For an arbor or veranda the Ma
deira vine will ever remain favorite.
1t is rapid grower. Plant the tuber
in the spring and it will commence to
grow at once; and if the place be wal IN
nd sheltered, it will grow to the

parent. Its flowers are Insignificant,
resembling the blossom Of the grape.
Their fragrance is delightfully."- deli
cate, reminding you Of the Mignonette.
1t is sometimes called the "Mie .nonette
vine.
A climber not so widely known as
the Madeira vine is the "Passidora y
or Passion Flower. 1t is native of
Brazil, where it grows to the thick.
ness of a man arm and to the height
of thirty feet. With US its stems do
not exceed in thickness those of the
Morning Glory, and they climb no
higher. Its leaves are palmate, parted
like The human hand. It's flowers
are large and beautiful, blue under
meath and purple within. They con-
tinue in bloom but day, opening
invariably and suddenly each morn
ing at the same hour. 1t gets its name
from it's pisIil, Which has some resem.
blance to the cross, the instrument Of
Christ's passion. This plant may be
called a perennial. The roots can
be preserved in a warm cellar during
the winter, and will grow vigorously
the following season.
Among vines growing from seeds I
know none ,1celling the Morning
Glory For rapilitv Of growth, and
for variety and brilliancy Of color, it
has no rival. "A thing Of beauty is

Its life is brief The mid day sun

Corn In Drills Or Hills.

The question as to which is the most
profitable, the planting of corn IN
drills or in hills. is still considerably
discussed, and we noticed last season
number Of fields drilled that rroduc-
ed we'll. Apparently there is much
saved by the drilling system, as it
only requires that the land should be
marked out one way, and the corn
dropped along the furrow and covered
with the pillow. There is undoubtedly
good economy Of time by this plan,
and, iftbe plants be properly thlnned,
much more corn to the acre results
than when planted in hills in the
usual way. Three or four stalks in
one hill neccssltate a strong struggle
for food. These four plants do not do
80 well thus struggling together in
hills every four feet apart, as when
each plant is but one foot from each
other in a regular line. There are as
many plants to the re in one case as
in the other, but each one being sola-
ted yields more than when there are
four together in the hill.
If this were all there would be no
question about the value Of the system;
but we have looked INTO both methods
carefully and have noted that the
drill system, through taking less labor
at first to plant, takes more labor to
keep clean. In the hill culture it is
necessary to have considerable hand
labor to keep the weeds oat Of the hills
until the corn gels large enough to
take care ofitself, but TIE drill system
gives US three or four times the mum
Der Of hill to look after Indeed, ev
cry stalk is hill. Thus the manual
labor is nearly quadrupled'
After all said about the profits Of
farming it is not 20 much the crops
which are produced, or the prices the
produce brings, which make our prof
its. Labor-human labor-ls the
great drawback in all questions, as to
what we can make from our land; and
as a general thing those system prove
in the long run the most profitable
which produce the best crops by the
least amount OF hand labor. III this
mooted question Of drilling or killing
corn there is no doubt but an acre Of
the former will yield more than an
acre of the latter, but it costs more
hand-lab than the other, and there.
fore does not Pay as well. We have
seen it carefully tested and know
whereof we speak. When hand.lab
can be had for twenty or thirty cents
a day, we may have another opinion.
