The Weight of Corn.

Professor Morrow, of the Illinois ex-
pertinent station, has tested the weight
of corn ears to determine the amount re-
quired of various kinds to produce shelled
bushels Of fifty-six pounds. He found
seventy pounds Of the early, seventy
three Of the medium, and seventy-eight
of the late maturing varieties would
produce each when fresh busbel of air
dry shelled corn by the end of October.
The Country Gentleman, commenting
on the foregoing, says: We have found
quite a variation, however, iii seasons,
and more difference in wet seasons than
in dry ones, sometimes varying nearly
90 per cent. in the later sorts which do
not ripen dry. The earliest varieties
will of course have better chance to
become hard and dry than the later and
more succulent, and there will be diff
ference greater in more northern regions
than under longer and hotter sun
further south. Farmers who have occa-
sion to measure or estimate corn in the
ear may easily make tests by weighing
freshly husked ears, and again in winter
and again the next summer, and may
ascertain what may be of Importance to
them when dealing in large quantities.

Circumstances have much to do with
the time required to hatch eggs; twenty
to twenty-six days are the extremes.
Nine or ten freshly laid eggs in aproper-

From the Atlanta Journal.
King Cotton's reign in the South
in future will not be as extensive as
| it has been in years gone by.
The farmers are beginning a syste-
matte crusade against extensive cot
ton areas, which will, in all probable
| ity, result in smaller crops in the fu-
ture.
The Georgia Alliancemen who be-
long to the legislature have taken
hold of the matter and will do all in
their power with this end in view.
Ever since the legislature has been
in session the Alliance members have
held NEE tings once a week 10 talk
over matters of interest to the farm
ing community.
At last weeks meeting the cotton
question came up.
Capt. A. II. Smith of Greene
county introduced the following
resolutions on the subject:
WHEREAS, Cotton is the money crop Of
the larger portion of Georgia, and
WHEREAS, This fact has led to con-
slant extension of the cotton belt and an
increase, annually, in the acreage given to
cotton and in the number Of bales produced,
and
WHEREAS, This large and increasing
crop, coupled with circumstances and com
binations over which the producer has
practically no control, has resulted in
prices that are both unremunerative and
discouraging, and
WHEREAS, Our best interests demand
that we should attempt at least to find, in
our own management, a remedy for this
evil therefore, be it
Resolved, By the members of this
conference of senators and representatives
who are Alliancemen, that, in our judg-
ment, the first step to be taken in the
futherance of relief is great reduction in
The acreage to be planted in cotton in 1892,
this reduction to be made in each and all
Of the cotton growing states.
Resolved further, That committee of
five from this conference be appointed by
the chairman at his leisure to bring this
important matter to the attention OF the
state alliance at the session to be held in
this city next month, to the end that said
body, speaking for the Alliancemen of
Georgia shall declare in favor of the rejuc-
ton of the cotton area as herein recon.
mended, and take all steps necessary to
secure the cooperation of our brethren in
the cotton states and to make sure the
object of this movement as outlined in the
foregoing preamble and resolutions.
These resolutions were unanimously
1dODted.

| At q farmers institute in Canada. J.
w. Bartlett read paper on seed and
seeding, from which the following Is
CLEANED: Various objections are made
to the drill. Some people claim that
weeds grow more profusely where the
grain is sown with the drill This is GER
tainly incorrect, but it is quite possible
that it might appear so. Others claim
that drought affects the crop more if
sown with the drill. l am, however,
firmly of the opinion that this is mis-
take, as where the seed is broadcasted
some is deposited so near the surface
that except in especially favorable years
it must, Of necessity, suffer for moisture,
while if the crop be drilled in it is not
any more liable to suffer from excess of
moisture than if sown broadcast
What about rolling? you would natu-
rally ask. 1answer, roll as much as you
please when the ground is dry enough so
that it will not pack, but always before
sowing, never after. If the grain be sown
with the drill after the land is rolled
loose covering of earth of the depth the
grain is sown is left as a mulch If the
land is rolled after sowing it is compare
lively solid to the surface, and as there
is nothing to break off the capillary
action the moisture comes to the surface
and is taken up by the atmosphere in
stead of being saved to be brought in
contact with it through the plants. It
must, to make this plain, be borne in
mind that water is natures great con-
veyer and its chief use in vegetable
economy, or 80 far at least as plant
growth is concerned, is to dissolve the
plant food in the soil, and while holding
this food in solution it is taken up by the
plant which assimilates the food and
gives off the water by evaporation to the
atmosphere.
In recapitulation. then, let me say for
the very best results select the very best
seed. Clean it thoroughly, treat with
one pound Of bluestone to patent pail
of water for ten bushels of wheat; pre-
pare the ground solid in the bottom.
loose on top. and SOW with the drill that |
will deposit the seed most evenly and at
a uniform depth; harrow two or three
weeks after the crop is up. and again
later if weather and crop will admit,
and you can conscientiously claim that
you have done your part, and leave the
result to Providence.

Poultry Pickings.

Pullets become hens after they moult.
Hens that lay we'll are neither hungry
nor fat.
A safe rule is to keep hen as long as
she is profitable.
Hens with scabby legs should not be
set, as it is catching.
AS the weather becomes warmer be
careful not to crowd the fowls.
Many Of the ailments in the poultry
yard arise either from cold or indiges-
ton.
Sour milk is not only a treat but q
valuable food for both laying hens and
chickens.

Th9t Much Disputed Animal, the Mole.
A South Carolina farmer writing to
the New York World says: 1t has often
been asserted by farmers and naturalists
that the mole is carnivorous animal
which never Injuries vegetables except by
disturbing their roots when searching
for insects. There are at least two dis
tinct varieties of moles in this country;
one may be strictly carnivorous, so far
az know, but the other, to my certain
knowledge, is vegetarian and may be
omnivorous. Last season the moles al
most entirely destroyed my peanut
patch, and my potato patch was almost
eaten up by them. They get in or under
row and follow it to the end, unless
there happens to be a stump, rock or
other obstruction to arrest their progress.
The two varieties are almost identical
in the shape, size Of their bodies and
6neness Of their fur. They differ mostly
in their feet and legs. The common
garden or carnivorous mole has very
short and strong legs and palmated feet,
and the forefeet turn outward. 1t seems
to be specially adapted for burrowing.
| The "shrew" or rat-footed mole has
longer legs and feet precisely like a rat
or mouse, and none of its toes are Joined
together like those of the common mole.
Both varieties sometimes inhabit the
same spot of ground, but not always.
The shrew or vegetarian mole is very
prolific, and when it takes to piece OF
ground it is not worth while to plant
any ground peas, peanuts, sweet pota-
toes, etc., near the spot. Now, the way
to test the truth of this is, not to consult
the books on natural history, but to turn
out and catch the moles.

= The promoters of the wheat corner

have struck bad snag. That is, they
have run upon a law of their own max.
ing which makes them liable to criminal
prosecution for conspiracy. While
member of the lower house of the legis-
lature, lin 1887; Ignatius Donnelly, now
president Of the Farmers Alliance of
Minnesota, secured the passage Of a con.
stitutional amendment which was adop-
ted by the people in the fall of 1888.
1t provides: "Any combination of per-
sons, either as individuals or as mem
bers or officers of any corporation, to
monopolize the markets for food products
in this State, o. interfere with or restrict
the freedom of such markets, is hereby
declared crimina conspiracy, and shall
be punished in such manner as the legis-
lature shall provide" Al! action taken
under the now famous circular comes
plainly under this law, and the promoters
of the scheme are said to be struck with
CONSERVATION at its resurrection.
The most reliable advice, says the
Hartwell Sun, regarding the future price
of cotton is to the effect that good grades
of cotton will meet with ready sale, but
that the low grades, such as cotton care.
lessly handled in picking and ginning,
will not be saleable at any price, for the
reason that there is now on hand enough
of the off grades to supply the demands
for that class for the next twelve months,
if there was not sorry bale packed this,
season. It might be well for planters to
bear this, in mind, as there is scarcely any
doubt about the above prediction coming
true. Ginners might profit by looking
we'll to the condition of their gins and see
that they too are in a condition to do
their part towards making goood sam.

"Arr. Webster didn't know it all, re-
marked Florida Cracker" when re-
preached by his educated daughter for
saying "wrack" when he meant "wreck."
1t is certainly true that the eminent lex
icographer had no idea of a hundred and
ons meanings which are attached to
words by people who acorn the authority
of college and purists.
"Politeness," said old Jack Heverin, an
aged ,storekeeperi in small Pennsylvania
town, "always pays, no matter where you
be. It don't do to be polite off and on so
to speak, but must have it with you at all
times"
The small crowd of loungers he WAS
entertaining nodded assent, and Jack COD
tinued: "When I was in California in
'52, there was young man in our camp
who was SO polite that it passed into
byword. No one ever saw him lose his
temper, and his face always wore smile,
rain or shine. he had placer claim
that didn't pan out as we'll as it might
have done, but he worked away cheerful
ly. and by dint Of saving what he made,
and by sticking at it like a good fellow,
young Champney managed to roll up
quite respectable pile.
"Well, one day, when the young
fellow was cleaning up the weeks dirt,
q big rufianly, chap appeared in the
bank, with q cooked revolver as long as
your arm, and leveling TAT Champney's
head, said:

"'No,' said the man grufly. 'Gitp

"sAllright,' said Champney, just as
polite as, ever and climbing up on the
bank, he went of, whistling cheerfully
and never once looked back until he en-.
tered a clump of trees hundred yards
away.
"All the time, mind you, he knew that
the rascal was going to pillage his tent,
and take every; grain Of his hard-earned
DUST ifehe could find it in the tent un-
der the hearth-stone. But Champney
never lost his politeness. He kept right
on, whistling softly to himself, and pretty
soon he made circuit of about a half
a mile, until he came. unawares upon the
robber, who was On his knees rummaging
through bund!s Of blankets.
"Then Champney whipped outhis re-
volver, and taking very careful aim, shot
the robber plumb in the back ofthe head,
just as polite as you please-which shows
as I said before, that it always pays"
