TYRANNIcAL COWS.

Dehorning the Only Means of Conquer
ing Their Evil Disposition.
About ten years ago we bought a
Devon cow that proved to be an extra
butter COW, and as consequence we
valued her calves. This COW made
two pounds of butter per day. but she
was also the most tyrannical brute we
ever saw, never letting chance pass
by when she could use her horns on
weaker animals. Much as we valued
her. we were compelled to fatten her
for beef on account of those cruel
horns. Her heifer calves all proved
to be goo butter-cows. but they also
inherited Il tyrannical d Opposition, and
from little Gu VS. up they appeared 10
be filled with spirit of cussedness.

ABOUT CORN ROWS.
No Field Is Properly Prepared Unless

No Field s Properly Prepared Unless
They Arc Straight Each Way.
The amount of Sc, d 10 the hill should
be regulated somewhat by the dis
lance between the rows. -Four and
one-half with three kernels, are nearly
equivalent to two kernels at three feet
eight inches apart. l prefer the latter
distance and number of kernels. There
are quite good many reasons why l
prefer this distance to any other. In
the first place. it divides the acre into
exact lines and spaces. corresponding
10 the divisions of the modern survey
States are run out into parallel lines
or sections mile apart. and these
section lines cross each other at right
angles. making square section, a
mile on each side. This square makes
four square farms half mile each
way. When these farms are properly
ard naturally divided into fields again,
they will be either 81 or 40 rods in
length or width. A field 81 rods long
and 40 rods wide is my ideal Now
when such field is marked out for
corn, at three feet eight inches apart be-
tween the rows, nine rows the long
way or eighteen rows the short way,
will make exactly an acre. If the
hired man has cultivated seventy-two
rows the short way or thirty-six the
long way, you know he has gone over
four acres when he comes up 10 dim
ner. If the corn is cut up nine hills
square, forty shocks anywhere in the
field will make just one acre. and four
shocks pulled together and husked in
different parts of the field and meas
urcd or weighed, will give one-ten
the product of corn per acre. There
is no guess work, every thing is
mapped out. and every day. progress
can be read. Nor is this all the adj
vantage. Every farmer who makes
any pretention to accuracy in his
methods. knows how impossible it is
to turn corn-stalks completely under,
unless The last furrow before turning
the row, comes up close to the hills,
and how impossible this latter task is,
when corn is planted so wide that
the furrow slices will not take it all
up between the rows, or so mar
row that the plowman must scant each
furrow to gauge them properly. At
the distance apart which l practice
and recommend, three burrows will
take all between the rows naturally,
with no undue effort either way, and
there is no necessity or excuse for
crossing the row in blowing. No corn
field is properly prepared for crop
unless the rows are straight each way.
l find my men take more delight and
interest in their work when there is
some cxactness required of them, and
they see that they are doing work
properly. after some regular plan.
Working corn is practiced very diff
ferenty in different States. and we
must s'ume that there is reason for a
method. especially when 1t is general
ly adopted so that question { f cultiva-
ton will sooner reach uniformity.
