In Tennessee it may he sowD in June or as late as July 10, broadcast two or three bushels to the acre. On rich land it may be sown nearly as thick as wheat. Corn will grow as large as a mans finger and many stalks will bear q nubbin. It Is proposed as an improvement on the above that a bushel of corn and half bushel of peas be sown together to the acre on good ground The corn stalks afford support to the pea vines that will grow erect with such help. The crop should be harvested by the mower after the tassel dies. The stuff should be shocked as soon as cut. Let farmers in attitudes north of Tennes- see try the plan proposed at different dates between this and the middle of July and note the results.-,tourRat of dqr tcHlt1tre.

Packing Fruit for Shipment.

If peaches or apples, nail the box securely, having the ends and sides even at the top. Take, for one third bushel boxes, two apples of size just to fill the width of the box, place side hy side at the end, and then two and two along the bottom the entire length Of the box to the partition. Lay with
 blossom end down. Continue in this manner until the box is full. If i'll putting in the last layer it does not quite fill the box. turn the apples on edge and select such sizes as will fill the box so that the top will not
 go on without pressing down. Fill small spaces with small apples better put in few very small ones than leave them loose. When the top is nailed on. the apples should not move on shaking the box. For peaches observe the same general directions, except that it will require three peaches to fill the width Of the box In packing grapes in boxes they should be placed in the box one bunch at Il time and so laid as to fill the box. It is mistaken idea that fruit of any kind should be so placed in the box as to require the least possible quantity to fill it.=Ark. Farmer aud .Stockman.
