Corn Cultivation.

Presuming you have planted your
corn as early as practicable in your
latitude say from February Is in the
in the farthest southern localities. to
April ! in the more northern portions
of the South-the next thing to look
after is thinning it out to stand.
II plenty Of grain was put in at plant
ing, the chances are that you now have
but few skips in your field. Unless it
is quite badly missing. it will hardly
pay you to replant. Thin out to one
stalk in hill, as soon as you find all
has come up. just after rain is the
best time to thin corn, when the
ground is soft, and long, narrow strip
"a barrel stave split in half, for in
stance), sharpened at one end, is a
convenient implement to uproot the
surplus stalks.
When the corn is three or four
inches high, run around it with mar
row scooter or bull-tongue, running
near enough to throw the soil we'll
around the roots 1.-THE land is badly
seeded to grass and weeds, a good
steel-tooth harrow is the best imple-
ment for the first misunderstanding
as near as possible to the stalk. Few
implements equal a good harrow for
destroying grass and weeds.
What is known as the s'side har-
row." is an excellent implement for
blowing young corn the first time.
Subsequent cultivation Is done with
a double shovel, or riding cultivator, il
the land is free of roots, stumps and
stones. Generally, three plowings are
sufficient to make corn crop, but il
the spring is very wet the rapid
growth of grass may require a fourth.
A leading idea in the cultivation OF
corn (and, indeed, in nearly ali erops),
is to leave the roots unmolested. As
corn roots grow near the surface, shall
low cultivation is absolutely essential.
What is known as barring off, is
not, by any means, to be recommended
in corn culture. This mode of plow-
ing leaves the corn standing on a mar
row ridge Or bar" from six to eight
inches vide (often not more than four
inches in width.) The young roots are
more or less disturbed by barring,
and the hoeing OF the crops immedi-
ately after. leaves so little dirt around
the young stalks that many of them
fall down. 1t is claimed by those
who follow barring that, by thus
throwing the soil from the roots
Of the plants, the sun is en-
abled to penetrate the earth and
inyigorate their growth. The con-
trary, and as / conceive to be the cor
rect argument, is, that by denuding
the roots, the sun and wind dry the
earth about them, and the cold nights
of early spring do much to stunt the
growth. The soil should always be
thrown to. never from the roots oil
corn.
One good hoeing is necessary in the
cultivation of corn crop. This
should be given Immediately after the
first blowing, whether done by har.
row or scooter pillow. II this first
blowing has been well done, the hoe.
ing will be easy. Subsequent cultiva
ton will consist mainly in keeping the
middles clean. as the blowing which
follows the hoeing will. as a rule, be
sufficient to ensure a clean drill unfit
the corn is large enough to shade the
ground. = Dick Naylor, in Dixie

rsxs...1. i The Dairy.

The more succulent foods make the
more watery milk and oily cream,
which churns the easier. Hence ensi-
lage and roots are favorable to butter
making, the oils, principally, giving
butter its flavor.
The cream should be churned as
soon as it becomes slightly acid. If
souring goes beyond this the acid be-
gins to cut and waste the butter fats.
Some, however, let the cream go so far
as to even Topper. This gives positive
Tactic acid flavor to the butter. which
may like, while the extra amount of
caseine retained in he butter makes up
in weight for the loss of some of the
finer fats.
Why one can't see, says Farm
iStock and Home, that Winter dairying
is better in every respect than Sum.
mer is mystery to me. Butter brings
a better price; there is no bother of
cream getting too sour, or its being too
warm; no trouble keeping the butter in
good condition till tub is filled; and
there is better yield of butter when
the cows are fed grain. If the cows
are dry they have to be fed enough to
keep them in good condition, and they
are bringing no return for it, while if
giving milk they will pay for good,
generous ration of food and good profit
besides, and the increased richness Of
the manure adds extra proftableness.

Fast Walking Horses.

A. T. Dors has this to say in the
Prairie Farmer on fast walking
horses. The friction on an IL, IA, or
16 inch plow will be less as you in
crease the speed at a given depth.
Suppose we plow an acre of ground
with a team that walks 8 miles an
hour, at given depht. say, 6 inches,
and then plow an acre with team that
walks A miles an hour, their is diff
erence of 40 minutes time in favor Of
the fast team on an acre; and on 40
acres, 26 hours, 40 minutes. or over
two and one-half days.
al venture the assertion, too, that
the fast team and man have done the
best work with the least muscle and
least friction, turned under more stalks
and stubble, and had more time to do
it in. / don't believe in crowding a
team. Ifyou have slow team, you
must go slow; for, if you make them go
fast, you will hurt them. I grew up
on the farm, almost between the plow-
handles, and want team that can and
will walk on the farm. For all purposes
a good sharp walk gives you good
speed in moving, reaping, plowing, or
anything else, and good speed always
gives you more power with the same
draft, as it lessons the friction"
