ASHES. Save all the ashes from the
ireplaces. and put them on the smoke-
house or cellar floor, where they will
keep dry till wanted for use. Then at
the time of planting corn have hsnd
TO go sDong before the planters with a
bucket Of ashes. and drop full single
handful Immediately under each ti!l.-
As the ashes are put down, let the hand
knock over it little dirt with the foo,
and then set the foot upon the spot for
the corn to be planted. In this way the
planters will know just where the ashes
are deposited and will not fail to get
the seed in the right place. A handful
OF good hard wood ashes, such as arc
usually made in every country Fireplace
in winter. will mako good strong stalk
OF corn to grow on quite poor Ian |. and
each stalk will yield an ear of solid grain
that without the ACHES would be but sor-
ry stuff. Thero is no better fertilizer
than ashes OF hard wool, and being In
concentrated form very little is re-
quired to make good corn. There is
probably no better use to make of i,
than to put it all under the corn. Two
or three bushels is enough for on acre
of corn, handful t. the hill, and "a the
ashes cost nothing it thus bcco.nes the
cheapest and lest fertilizer for corn
that can be employed. We have during
the winter saved up quite 10. Of ashes,
which we intend 10 use in the abo-e
way, ha9ing been led to this way of fer
til'zing corn BY the advice AMI practice
OF an old darkey, who always makes
pleLty of gocd sound corn. 1t is i'm
