DEEP CORN CULTURE.
Many Advantages That Are Secured by
Thorough Cultivation.

| Many Advantages That Are Secured by
Thorough Cultivation.
have recently noticed great deal
f controversy in regard to deep and
shallow culture of corn. 1t is true
that it would be hard 10 adopt q par
ticuar m ode of cultivation that would
suit a kinIs If soils. But if there is
any mode of cultivation suited to all
kinds of soils it surely is deep cultiva-
ton for corn in the early part of the
ason.
My mode If cultivating corn is to
harrow it thoroughly when l see the
first signs of it coming through the
ground, if the ground is in condition
for narrowing. Then as soon us the
corn is up sufficient to see it in the
rows start the cultivator using long.
narrow shovels. and plow as close
to the corn and as deep as possible, the
deeper the better. After blowing
the corn each way as above, use wId r
shovels for the next two plowingS, and
don't plow quite so c'ose to the corn.
But don't break your shoulders TO hold
the shovels out of the ground, for the
deeper the better.
The corn has now been plowed four
times and if the season is at all good,
is too large for two-horse cultivator.
Let it rest for one week, then take
large, adjustable double-shovel, set
the shovels wide apart and run once
in each row, each way. thoroughly
stirring the middles of the rows. This
usually will be cultivation enough,
but in case of a heavy rain, as soon as
the ground is dry enough run through
again with the double-ShOvcl to loosen
the crust that will naturally form after
heavy rains, and when the soil be-
comes hard and compact. the air and
heat can not enter. and when shower
falls, unless it lasts long enough to
completely soften the upper crust. the
water required by the plants runs off
and no benefit is gained. BY keeping
the earth loose the heat goes down
and surplus water evaporates. Should
shower fall the water soaks in and
large quantity is secured, compared
with the soil that is compact
The air is the great disintegratlng
agent of soils. and which renders solu-
be the plant food. If the air can not
enter the soil the substance that should
be appropriated by the growing crop
remains inert and but slowly performs
the work that should be done quickly.
The roots of plants have large feeding
surface when the earth is loose. If it
is compact and the roots are compelled
to push through the soil slowly and
with effort it is a loss of so much en-
ergy. and bad results follow.
Many advantages are secured by
thorough and deep cultivation; tho
roots have greater feeding capacity
and larger amount of moisture is
secured; the air penetrates deeper and
the heat is more readily converted into
force.
Keep the soil well and deeply stirred
early in the season. Keep the soil
loose at all times and cultivate always
after each rain until you can feed your

staff officer; "that's the very best remedy
in the world for sea-siczness." "No," an

champagne was intended to do much cur
