as before, run as close to the corn
and as deep as possible, cutting ct.
fectually the roots running into the
middles. Heretofore our object has
been to givesto the stalk and leaves
a vigorous and rapid growth; but
now we want this growth checked,
as we are interested in the develop
ment of the ear. Were we not to
check this exuberant growth OF the
plant, the embyro ears would beAab-
sorbed by it and our effort at in
creased yields of grain rendered flu
tile. The entire success of this, the
main point, depends largely on the
condition Of the crop and the seas
on. If the soil were very dry and
the corn already suffering for mois-
ture and we were to cut the roots,
there would be disaster, unless rain
we're to come Immediately. But we
are supposed to have selected a piece
of ground where this would never
happen; otherwise we would have
made provision for irrigating
through our under ground drains at
such times as the crop needed mois-
ture. The method of under drain
ing here used is cheap and Temporal
ry and only intended as a trial ex-
pertinent. For permanent improve
ment and a continuation Of this in
tensive method, the drains should
be built on some of the most i'm
proved plans and connected with
suitable ~irrigating reservoir. Fine
results can often be obtained without
understanding and irrigation; but,
with these heavy yields are reduced
to a certainty. In this case the far
mel has almost entire control of the
season, be it wet or dry. ..t.u.
The most Of the details in the
above are founded upon actual ex-
periments in the field where the
work was done by the manual labor
of the writer himself. He has had
good yields himself, as have others
who have used the same seed.
A yield of 214 and a fraction bush
els Of corn has been raised on one
acre of land at Columbia, S. c.: of
which there is abundant proof. The
possible crop remains to be gathered
by some n Of u progressive far
mers who will give to this subject
close and intelligent observation
and exhaustive experiment in the
fields. d. c.. ANDERSON.

HORSES MANGER.

All the refuse dust and uneaten
hay should be cleaned from horses
managers every morning. The COWS
will pick it over and eat whatever
is of value, but it is. very offensive
to horses. If clover hay is fed to
horses there will be a great deal of
dust from it, and this in the manger
is often a cause of heaves.
A FROM ROTTEN CORN.
Many Kansas cattle turned into
cornfields have suddenly died. The
wet weather late in the Fall rotted
the corn, and also caused an i'm
mense amount of smut, which has
proved poisonous to stock. Tt is
believed that the unusual prevalence
of hog cholera last Fall was due to
the poor condition of the corn crop.
ANALYSIS OF BARNARD MANURE.
There is a great difference in the
value of barnyard manure, and
much of it, if analysed, would show
that the quantity usually per acre
contains really less plant food than
the common dressings of CONNER
cial fertilizers. But the rotting of
manure in the soil helps to decom-
post the latter and is thus a double
help. lg.a .s9
VALUE OF BUILDING STONE.
AS timber is every year becom-
ing arc in some sections the
value of stone increases. In some
parts of New England quarries once
thought to be worthless have be-
come quite valuable. Brick cannot
entirely take the place of stone,
and %quarries where corner and foun-
dation stones can be got are likely
to increase in value.
tn..s MILK FOR HENS 49,
The spare milk may be proftably
fed to hens in Winter to encourage
egg production. Milk abounds in
albumen, which is an important
constituent of the egg, and is thus
as theoretically good to make hens
lay as it has been found to be in prac-
tice. Wheat bran with milk makes
the egg and also it's shell, the bran
Astounding in phosphate of lime.
KEEPING GOOD HORSES.
No farmer who has not tried to
buy a horse can appreciate the diff
fculty of getting one just. right in
every respect. The idea that one
can be picked up in a few days has
to be slowly and reluctantly aban-
