On Easter Monday the men lift the

An Old Idea About seed Corn.


In the year 1916, says a writer in the
Germantown Telegraph, a man showed my
father how to prepare seed corn to prevent
crows from pulling it up. This was the
method: Take about half pint of tar, dis
solve it as quickly as possible, put in about
six quarts of corn, stir in one and q half
minutes, then drain of the water. Stir In
a little plaster Of paris or some dry matter,
which separates the kernels one from an
other. Spread it till it cools.
One man said to me on one occasion:
THE crows are pulling the corn" l went
to the field All could find pulled were
perhaps a dozen or two hills. Itarred some
corn for friend and he planted some the
next day. 1t came up we'll. He continued
planting the three following days, each day
planting less. When prepared it will come
up at the end Of twelve months as well as
the first day. One advantage in tarring is
if cold, vet storm comes on after planting
it will not rot. The greatest advantage is
that you can let the crows come into your
field, and if you keep out all scarecrows
they will destry the cutworms. If you will
but watch you will see the crows leaving the
field between daylight and sunrise. Let the
crows in where they have been shut out till
the worms are quite plenty, and in two
years hardly enough will be found to pay
the crow for coming.

Man naturally wants tho earth, or at
least that particular part Of it which adj
joins his particular estate but be makes a
on On extensive scale.
Prince Krapotkine, who has made care
full study of the subject in France, gives q
number of instances in tho country dis
tricts around Paris, where comparatively
ignorant farmers have made small market
gardens enormously productive. One farm
is mentioned by him of two and seven
tenths acres which produced annually 1875
tons of market vegetable of all Kinds.
The owner of this farm. by building walls
to protect his lands from cold winds, by
whitening the walls to secure all possible
radiated heat, and by the constant and
judicious use Of fertilizers, has his little
farm in productive coalition from Jan. l
to the last Of December. BY simple and
inexpensive means he has practically To-
Gated his farm in the tropics.
A French gardener does not care what
kind of soil he starts with. He would be
satisfied with an asphalt pavement, because
he makes his soil, and so much Of it that he
has to sell it to keep his place from being
gradually raised above the level of the sur
rounding country. When a farmer once
understands the laws of chemistry he has
no difficulty in making soil that contains
all the materials needed for plant life.
Prince Kgapotkine speaks of one gardener
who has covered half an acre with glass
roof, and run steam pipes, supplied by
small boiler under the ground sheltered by
this covering. The result has been that he
has cut every day for ten months from 1000
to 1900 large punches Of asparagus, pro-
duct which under ordinary conditions
would require sixty acres of land. But this
result has been surpassed by an English
farmer, who has one-acre mushroom farm
which yields him az annual income of
$1,000
Under the French method of culture it
would be possible to make one square mile
support 1000 human beings. On such a
scale Of productive capacity this country
would support a population of 3,000,-
000, 900. Even when we knock off a fair
percentage for mistakes, exaggerations and
unfavorable conditions. it will bs seen that
we are in no danger OF having an overpopu-
latioU for many centuries to come.

There is plenty Of room for fruit on every
farm. Farmers give special attention to
applss in localities in which they grow, but
not one-tenth Of them grow peaches, pears,
Strawberries, grapes, raspberries, currants
or cherries, even for home use.
Corn left standing in the field is not only
injured by exposure but the shocks become
the harboring places of rats, mice ard other
vermin, which, with birds and rabbits, de-
stroys or waste large portion OF the
grain.
The currycomb and brush used on the
cow purlies the milk, because the cleaning
of the skin permits of the purifying Of the
body through the pores. When the body is
dirty, as is often the case il some stalls,
the whole system is rendered unhealthy
and as all ailments Of the animal affect the
milk the value Of cleaning the skin is very
great.
Although many remedies have been sug-
gested for killing borers in trees, such as
forcing salt in the holes, ETC., the surest
method is to kill the boxer by inserting
piece of wire into the opening, as it cannot
escape if the wire is thrust in as far as the
borer has penetrated.
Hauling is one of the most extensive
items an tho farm, and in laying off field,
or planning for any kind of crop, the first
consideration should be;the facility and ease
of hauling and spreading the manure on the
land and the carrying off of the crop there
