Give Hops a Rich Soil.

Hops require rich loamy soil. They are
grown from root cuttings which are pur-
chased of growers who thin out their vines
in the spring, or of seedsmen who deal In
them. The roots are planted in hills seven
or eight feet apart each way, three or four
cuttings being put in each hill, and pole
driven into the ground for the plants to
climb upon. The land should be well
manured and kept cultivated and free
from weeds; If any fertilizer is used ii
should be rich in nitrogen and potash with
a less amount of phosphoric acid. For an
average yield OF 800 pounds of hops the
usual allowance of these various elements
is rs pounds of nitrogen. IS pounds Of
potash, and so pounds of phosphoric acid
which will he Finished by 300 pounds Of
nitrate of soda, 200 pounds of chloride Of
potash. and 800 pounds of superphosphate
of lime, allowing for the natural fertility
of a fairly good soil. This quantity should

NOUS production can be secured from a
small space. This is due to the use OF
plenty Of manure and imparting good
cultivation. The garden plot is kept al
ways rich and in good condition, and
much more is expected from it than from
an equal area devoted to other crops on the
farm yet there is nothing to prevent the
whole farm from being a garden. provided
fewer acres are cultivated. The garden is
really a miniature farm. and indicates
plainly what can be done on larger scale

garden crops, assists in managing a
farm.

essentials IN obtaining aluxuriant growth

Itself to eXterminate the weeds and TO give
The corn chance to get the start of them.
The corn will soon get SUCH a start of the
weeds that Its luXuriant growth will over
shadow them and give them a sickly
growth.
In cultivating the corn great care should
be taken to make it only shallow, for if
the roots are cut off it will keep the
plants back by several days growth
The second or third cultivation is far more
destructive to the corn if the roots are dis
tul bed than the earliest ones. The corn is
then In stage when it needs all of It's
vitality to make a luxuriant growth.
At the last working of the corn 1t is

rye springs into rapid growth, and crowds

treatment of the soil. This work may
require more labor and time from the far

German
Syrup

Here is an incident from the Sout..
mississippi, written in April, 1890,
just after the Grippe had visited that
country. " 1 am a farmer, one Of
those who have to rise early and
work late. At the beginning of last
Winter [ was on trip to the City
CT N.Cksburg, Miss. where I got well
drenched IN a shower of rain. I
went home and was soon after seized
with a dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until I had
to seek relief. I consulted Dr.. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to geta bottle of Bcschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and l caught that also
very severely, My condition then
compelled me to do something. I
got two bottles of German Syrup. I
began using them, and before taking
much OF the second bottle, I was
entirely clear of the Cough that had
hung to me so long, the Grippe, and
all its bad effects. 1 felt tip-top and
have felt that way ever since"

Food Silaae Corn.

Good silage corn is not raised without
special study and attention. The import
ance of it makes the question worthy of
study and experiment. The main
is to raise large crop with all of tn
nutritive qualities intact. Each one must
select the corn for his particular locality,
but it may be said in passing, that great
deal depends upon the variety of corn
used. Thin planting is essential for OBJ
tanning plenty of air and sunshine, and
and not more than eight quarts to the
acre should ever be planted, even on the
best soils.
