Applying Fertilizers to Corn.

1t is quite reasonable to suppose that plants
can be gorged with food as animals may be,
and that injury may result from it, This is
quite true as regards corn. The corn plant
has long season of active growth. 1t re-
quires about one hundred days for its maturi-
ty. Ifall the food which is required to
mature the plant is added to the soil in
soluble and available condition at the plant
ing, a large quantity may be lost before the
plant can utilize it. Soluble fertilizers diff.
fuse themselves in moist soil with great
rapidity, and are quickly carried off by the
drainage water into the subsoil Sir j. B.
Lawes has noticed the nitric acid of nj
trate of soda, which has been applied to the
surface soil, escaping in the water flowing
from the drains, in forty-eight hours after
the application. If then, six hundred pounds
of this fertilizer should be applied to the
corn crop before the sowing of the seed, it
will begin to be lost before single root has
formed to arrest its escape. This fact is
given only as an instance of how fertilizers
may be lost by misapplCation. AT the best,
an excess of fertilizing material given to corn
in its early stages, forces rank growth of
stalk, and the plant food is exhausted before
it can be converted into grain, which is the
most valuable part ofthe crop. During some
years past, we have been growing corn
under new system of fertilizing, which is
to apply the fertilizer at intervals, as after
each time of cultivation, instead of before and
Immediately after planting. The effect has
been to notably increase the yield of grain,
and decrease the growth of stalk. BY this
method, eighty bushels of grain per acre have
been produced, and in growing sweet corn
for sale, fine, large, and wel-filled ears are
secured. The fertilizer is busted along the
rows before the cultivator is used, or imme-
diately after, and the first shower carries it
down to the roots. The same method ofap-
plying fertilizers has been used for root crops
with favorable resuts.-American Agr5cal-

How to Buy a Horse.

An old horseman says: If you want to

Take no mans word for it. Your eye is your

eyes are he can't see any more than bat
Back him, too. Some horses show their weak
ness at tricks in that way when they don't
at any other. But, be as smart as you can,
you'll get caught sometimes. Even an ex-
pert gets stuck. A horse may look ever so
nice and go great ways and yet have fits.
There isn't man could tell it till something
happens. Or he may have weak back
Give him the whip and off he goes for a mile
or two; then all of a sudden he stops in the
road. After rest he starts again, but he
soon stops for good, and nothing but der

THE sCHOOLMARM,s STORY.


A frosty chill was in the air
How plainly remember
The bright autumnal fires had paled,
Save here and there an ember;
The sky looked hard, the hills were bare,
And there were tokens everywhere
That it had come-November
1 locked the time-worn school-house door,
The village seat of learning, ...
Across the smooth, well-trodden path
My homeward footsteps turning;
My heart u troubled question bore
And in my mind as oft before,
a vexing thought was burning.
why is it up hill all the way?"
Thus ran my meditations;
The lessons had gone wrong that day,
And had lost my patience.
rs there no way to soften care,
And make it easier to bear
Lies sorrows and yeXationS?"
Across my pathway through tho wood,
A fallen tree was lying,
On this there sat two little girls,
And one of them was crying.
heard her sob: And il could,
I'd get my lessons awful good
But what's the use of trying?'
And then the little hooded head
Sank on the others shoulder,
The little weeper sought the arms
That opened to enfold her.
Against the young heart kind and true,
She nestled close and neither knew
That | was beholder.
And then Iheard-ah! meier was known
Such Judgment without malice,
Nor queenlier counsel ever heard
In senate, house or palace!-
II should have failed there, am sure,
Don't be discouraged; try once more,
And L will help you, Alice"
And will help you" This is how
To soften care and grieving;
Life is made easier to bear
BY helping and by giving.
Here was the answer | had sought,
And L, the teacher being taught
The secret of true living.
IF II will help you" were the rule,
How changed beyond all measure
Life would become! Each heavy load
Would be golden treasure;
Pain and veXation be forgot
Hope would prevail in every lot,
And life be only pleasure.
