AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY.

A practical knowledge of chemistry,
applied to agriculture, is of great i'm
portance to the farmer. Without such
knowledge he cannot determine the
nature and character, or properties of
the various elements which constitute
or compose his soil. When the land is
rich in fertility we know it will pro.
duce good crops but when it becomes
deficient in some of the essential ele-
ments it fails to produce good crops.
How are we to understand the nature
of soils and be able to determine the
elements of which they are deficient
without some knowledge of agricuItu-
raj chemistry? In this respect our
common schools are deficient. Most of
our farmers sons receive all their edu-
cation from the common schools. AS
farming is their occupation, would it
not be in order for our common schools
to teach chemistry, at least as far as it
applies to agriculture? The time has
come when farmers must know more
about their business. How are they
going to learn unless it is taught them
The farmer should be able 10 analyze
his soil; compare the rich and the
poor, and determine wherein the one
differs from the other. Common
school teachers, as well as the colleges,
should be able to understand this and
teach it to our sons. 1t is essential and
ere long will be regarded as indispensa'
BILE to common education.

ready, and instead of shocking and al
lowing it to remain in the field the
usual way to cure and damage by ex-
posture to the rains, he hauled it and
set it up green in his barn and under
his sheds to cure under shelter. He
used poles at intervals to hold up the
corn so as to allow the air to circulate
and dry it out. Mr.. Wilson said he
never had any other five acres Of corn
worth so much to him as that. The
stalk and fodder were sweet and soft
and stock eat it well. The corn was
sound and well matured. The trouble
with most of us, we do not have room
and shelter for storing it in this way.
Cut corn, as generally cut, shocked
and allowed to remain exposed to the
weather, is hardly worth hauling for
fodder.
Very few of our farmers have room
or shelter for all their green corn, but
most of them have some shelter under
which they might store some at least.
AT very small cost we might build
shelters for this purpose. On many
farms there are large piles of wheat
straw. We noticed on the farm of G..
M. Smartt, who runs a dairy, that he
had begun to cut his corn for fodder.
His corn is in good condition, and he
is doing good work. We also noticed
in another field near by, large pile
or stack of wheat straw, Now sup.
pose Esquire Smart, after his corn is
cut and dries a few days in the shock,
would take forks and poles and make q
long shelter for his cut corn, and cover
that shelter with his straw; don't you
think he could keep his cut corn very
nice and sweet in this way for his COWS?
1t would require great amont of shell
ter for all his cut corn, but certainly
he might save much of it from the
weather for his March feed in this way.
His corn fodder would be more valua-
BILE for buttermaking, We would like
to see our farmers experiment little
in this way. 1t will certainly pay any
farmer to shelter his fodder if he can.
Mr.. Wilson says stock will eat the
stalk and fodder when thus cured and
protected from the weather. Every
shed and old house on the farm, as
we'll as the barn floor, should be used
in this way. Much good feed is great.

GOOD FLOWING.

The best blowing we have seen is
now being done by Geo. S. Stroud, on
his farm on Hickory Greek. The
field is covered with a heavy crop of
green peas, and the pillow used is a
Sulky, made by the Oliver Chill Cons
pany, and is drawn by three strong
mules abreast. 1t has a rolling cutter,
cuts the vines and sod, and turns a
surface of is inches. 1t covers the
peas, weeds, etc., thoroughly. 1t does
its work well, and will plow about as
much per day as two ordinary two
horse plows. We saw but one objec-
ton to the work. The plow wants
subsoil attachment. With this attach
ment, the pillow would be as near per-
lection and the work as good as we
could wish, We belong to that class
who believe in subsolling, especially in
fall and winter blowing. Its advan-
tages are three,fold. When the rains
are excessive, and there is too much
water, which is often the case during
winter and spring in the lower lands,
it furnishes drainage which is very i'm
portant, especially to fall and winter
sown grain. 1t prevents the lands
from washing, and in drouth or dry
weather loose subsoil holds moisture,
so essential for the growth of plants.
There may be some kinds Of land at
some seasons, under certain circum>
stances, that do best without subsoil-
ing, but certainly the subsoiler should
follow the turner in the preparation of
lands for wheat.
We notice W. H. Smart has the
sulky plows. We did not see his at
work, but understand they are doing
splendid work. We believe it will
pay any farmer who has as much as
so or rs acres of land to turn, to pur-
chase good sulky plow. We would
advise him to get with it the subsoil
attachment. With such pillow and
three strong mules or horses, one man
or boy can do the work of three or four
III the ordinary way and do it better.
The work is done better with the sulky.
1t not only turns everything under
well, but having the weight, it cuts
every sprout of ordinary size. If we
are not mistaken, these improved plows
not only do better work but will save
in labor and time in turning 100 acres,
enough to pay for the pillow. They
cost about $48 or $50. No farmer
who has much land to turn can afford
to use any other pillow. Labor saving
is Of so much Importance to the farm
er now, that he must take advantage
of improved implements. Those who
have not seen these plows at work
should see them and determine wheth
er it will not be to their interest to use
them. Another advantage, any boy
or old man who can drive a team vel
can plow a sulky. Such work OF
smooth land is better than play.

HOW TO HAVE FAT HORSES,
MULES AND COWS WITHOUT
PASTURES.
HON. E. L. GARDENHIRE.

Green food is best for stock. Every
farmer, even on a small scale, should
sow bushel of rye near his barn. He
should SOW also an acre of clover near
his barn. Let the land be we'll plow>
ed and narrowed, and the clover and
rye sowed in this month, September.
BY the 18th Of April, the rye will
be high enough to cut, and carry to
your horses, mules, cows and calves.
When the rye is exhausted you may
pillow it, and plant the land i'll fodder
corn to save for winter food. You
can now commence cutting the green
clover, and carrying it to your stock.
As early as it can be done in spring.
plant an acre, for green fodder.corn.
Plant in rows q feet apart, and from
eight to twelve grains to the foot.
When the corn comes up, run one fur.
row only between the rows with a
small bull.tongue, and ten days after
ward run two burrows between the
rows, your corn is then made. When
your clover begins to slobber the horses
and mules, you can begin to cut and
carry your fodder-corn to your stock.
This you may continue till the lst of
August, or to the 10th of August.
As near by as you can, have planted
in spring another acre in corn, and
cultivate it in the usual way. By
the 10Th of August, you may begin to
cut the corn from this acre and feed
the wasting ears and stalks to your
cattle and horses.
After harvest, turn over an acre of
the stubble land, and harrow it well,
and SOW it in sugar,cane seed broad
cast, like sowing oats. When your
last acre of corn is consumed, the
sweet, tender, green sorghum, will be
ready to cut and feed to the animals.
If you have no more than fifteen head
of horses, mules, COWS and calves, the
five acres of land thus treated, will
feed them better than you ever saw
cattle and horses fed, from the 18th
Of April to the 1st of November with'
out pastures, and all through the sum.
mer you will need no dry hay even
for your work animals. Don't be
afraid that they can't work when fed
on green food. That is mistake. II
horses and mules have long eaten moth.
ing but dry food, and then fill them
selves with sweet, juicy grass or clover
a little exertion may injure or destroy
them.
Let the work animal, however, have
his sweet, tender, juicy food regularly,
and he does better, All your stock
will then grow and fatten and work
better, and you will have the fnest
milk, butter and beef you ever saw
Your animals will stand in their stalls
to get their food, and you will save
their manure. Spread this on two
acres and turn under Immediately, ant
you then have land that will produces
from % to 40 bushels of wheat to tn,
acre. But the sluggard grunts an(
says this is troublesome. 1t requires {
little vigilant attention, but no hare
labor to have the best stock in tn,
country, and the manure will pay TO
the extra attention. If the reader i
afflicted with incorrigible laziness, yol
can't have the latest stock. W,
practice what we preach. Try it ant
you won't quit it. 1t pays well.

True Story of EnOcil Arden.

THE SIGHT OF HIS MOTHER IN LAW
sCARES HIM AWAY FROM HIS OLD
HOME
When Enoch Arden came home
after that memorable and disastrous
voyage, which shipwrecked him and
his hopes, he crept up the street to
his old home, as Tennyson in forms
us, and looked in the window.
There he saw Philip Ray and Annie,
his wife, and their child, all seated
around the hearth cracking walnuts.
The whole bitter truth came upon
him with terrible force. Annie
supposing Enoch to be dead, had
married Philip, so as to have a home,
for herself and child, and man
about the house in case of tramps.
1t was a sad coming back for Enoch,
and he was mad about it. Not so
much that Philip had married his
wife, for there were plenty more
wives to be had; not because his
child had learned to call another
man 'pa," though that was bitter
pill, inasmuch as the child looked a
little like Philip anyhow. Neither
of these things worried him half so
much as to note that Philip was
wearing his tEnoch's) clothes. With
a menacing gesture Enoch was just
about to dash into the house and an
initiate them when, suddenly, the
anger in his countance was supplant-
ed by look of terror, and he skunk
away as silently as he had come.
He had caught sight Of Annie's
mother, who, during Enoch's alb
sence, had broke up house keeping
and come over to live with her
daughter, and had become a fixture
there. Enoch told some of the boys
afterwards that it was the narrowest
escape of his life, and that he would
rather be shipwrecked every five
minutes than to encounter his moth
er-in-law.
