Bone Dust and Wood Ashes.

An Indiana farmer gives the follow
ing result of an experiment with the.
above named fertilizers. He saws
81 applied 600poun;ls Of dry, unleach-
ed ashes to the acre, and sOwed wheat
on that, and the result was only six
bushels to the acre. Adjoining this
tract | drilled in 900 pounds of bone
dust, and the three acres produced
twenty bushels to the acre, being an
increased yield Of fourteen bushel over
the tract sown with wood ashes. The
following year l used 500 pounds of
bone dust on the plant where | had
previously sown 600 lbs. of ashes, and
the result was forty bushels of wheat
the bone produced alone. This ex-
pertinent satisfied me that ashes alone
or bone dust alone would not give me
a yield that paid to my satisfaction
The acre with ashes yielded six bush
els, the acre with bone dust yielded
twenty bushels, but when the tive
were combined, | harvested fsrty
bushels. This shows whatexperaments
and small expenditure of money will
do for the progressive farmer"

How to Get Early Sweet Corn.

Judge Miller, of Missouri, mention
ed to us fact discovered by himself.
in which full week can be gained i'll
getting sweet corn for boiling. He
said it was that as soon as the ear is
formed, break top down or cut it off,
but leave the stalk erect OF order that
the pollen of the tassel will be sure to
dust the silk of the ears, as they may
not be fully ..impregnated should the
stalk be topped. lie stated that he
had experimental for years and was
entirely satisfied that it is uniformly
practical and of value. In fact he
said that the ear becomes more fully
developed also. This is a hint easy to
adopt, and may be of interest to truck
ers as we'll as for the private garden

How to Tell what Corn will terminate.

The Prairie Farmer offers the fol-
lowing as test relative to the vitality
of seed corn:
The seed will be plump, bright,
and without any wasted appearance
in the skin where the grains come
together. If the grain is cut across,
or if carefully peeled down, the chit
germ will show the same bright,
fresh appearance. Such seed placed
between the folds OF moist cloth Or
pressed into soil in flower pot, moist
at a temperature of seventy to eighty
degrees, should terminate in three
days. There il one point, however,
to be remembered in the termination
of seed, that is, the older seed the
slower it terminates, and also, as "a
rule, the less it will develop as plant !;
yet the seed-bearing qualities do not
thereby seem to be injured On the
contrary very often the seed yield of a
plant is diminished by a luxuriant
growth, and from a vel known law.
1T is well-known that the Indians
had crudde but pretty sure way OF
saving seed corn. How was it? Husk-
ing it when ripe, hanging it up in the
wigwam in smoke of the fire, just be-
fore winter burying it, secars from
moisture, in the ground A more
civilized and better plan is to husk
perfectly ripe and bright ears, selec,
the best, trice them up in dry, airy
loft secure from mice and other ver-
min"
