CULTVLTlE6 CORN.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman, writing with reference
10 the cultivation Of corn, says
My plan is to cultivate shallow and
keep the soil as nearly level as pos
sible. had to try level cultivation
considerably before could give up
the idea that it was better than
killing. The old plan of cultlvat-
ing corn implied using the diamond
plough to lay the corn by with. The
earth was thrown TO the corn each
way, and the middles split out,
leaving the soil IN high ridges.
When cultivators first began to be
used, they were laid aside after
cultivating two or three times, as
it was still considered necessary to
finish the cultivation with the
plough. / tried both plans, Guilt
waiting part of my crop with the
cultivatOr, and keeping the soil rea-
sonably level, and using the dia-
mond plough for the rest.
SO far as my own experience IS
concerned, / am satisfied that, taking
one season with another, level cul-
tivatiOn is the best. five knew to
certainty that the season would
be excessively wet, | should, OF
course, prefer to use the diamond
plough; but generally, level, shall
low cultivation is much the best, as
well as the most economical. One
man, with a team and a good walk
ing cvltivator, can do as much
work cultivating corn, cane OF po-
tatoes, as two men with two horses
and two corn plOughS, making the
use of the cultivator much more
economical than plOughing.
My plan OF cultivating is to have
the soil in as good tIlth as possible
before planting the crop, and then
commence the cultivation, as soon
as possible after the crop is plant
ed, with the harrow. This breaks
the crust and kills out all the young
weeds that are sure to start up
generally two borrowings can be
given with profit. Then commence
with the cultivatOr, taking of the
inside shOvels and putting bull
tongues in their places-these are
really smaller aud narrower shoyels
BY using them and a pair of fend-
ers, the soil can be stirred very close
to the plants. Two good cultiva-
tons can be given that is, one
each way, and this should leave the
corn very clean. Two more work
ings with the larger shovels in is
all that is generally needed. Some
times, if the soil is unusually foul
with weeds or grass, one (r even
two) more cultivation is necessary
to keep clean. 1 always found that
it paid to keep the corn as clean
as possible, not only to increase the
yield, but to leave the soil in a bet.

FEEDING SWINE.

1t requires a certain amount Oh
food to enable an animal TO hVe'
and it requires moro food than TINS
TO enable 1t to grow tat. The waste
in the system must be replenlshed
before any increase is to be expect
ed. Scientists haveIstudied the
chemical composition of animal
bodies and different food substan-
ces, that they might determine
which foods were best adapted to
replenish the natural waste, and at
the same time increase the weight
and aid in the development OF the
animal. 1t is unnecessary to here
consider the exact chemical com
position of the different parts OF
the body and different foods, as
some of the conclusions arrived at
will suffice.
In the first place, an animal
should have an abundant and con-
slant supply of pure, fresh water
Water from wells in barnyards, OF
manure pits, or carried through
leaden pipes, should no more be
given to hops than to human beings
When it is desired to give hogs ac-
cess to streams of running water
only those, the source and course
of which are known 10 be from
impurities, should be used.
A certain amount of salt, sulphur,
lime, potash and other minerals IS
indispensable TO the proper devel'
opment of yOungand growing pigs.
The former two may be readily
given them in their food, aud they
should each day receive a small
quantity; it makes their food more
palatable, and it is eaten with more
relish. The others, in limited guam
titles, are also necessary, and are
found sufficiently abundant in the
ashes of coal, wood, and OF corn
cobs. Once or twice a week, burn
what scraps of wood and such coos
as you may have, and feed the
ashes to the hogs, mixed with any
coal ashes you may have from the
house. For muscle forming, grass
es. clover, peas, and oats are good,
and should form the larger part OF
the diet of young pigs. Clover OF
clover and blue grass pastures are
particularly desirable for growing
pigs. II pigs at two months DID,
are turned into such pastures, and
remain there until SIX months old,
they should have then attained thelI
growth aud development, and be
in a condition to receive a corn diet
When taken from pastures and led
upon more concentrated foods, the
change should be gradual, not sud
den.
Figures show cOnclusively that
an acre of clover will produce
more pork than an acre of corn
estimating the yield Of the latter
at fifty bushels. 1t is estimated
that an acre produces ten thous-
and pounds of clover, and that fif-
teen pounds of clover produce one
pound Of pork in other words,
about SIX hundred and seventy
five pounds of pork may be pro-
duced from one acre of clover. II
a bushel of corn will make twelve
pounds of pork, and this is above
the average, there will be but six
hundred pounds as the produce of
one acre.-From " HOg-Raising and
Pork.Making," Orange JNdd Com
