Gates this method: Set the plants in rows

and are easily kept free from weeds.
One very essential point is to keep all
soil out of the heart of plants until they
are large enough for blanching.
When the plants are well grown. wrap
each plant in paper jacket, and then
hill up almost to the top of the papers
For this purpose buy common straw
paper and cut it into strips from twelve
to fifteen inches wide. After little
practice the wrapping can be done as
quickly as the ordinary tying up. The
loose end Of the wrapper may be kept in
place by handful of earth thrown in
with trowel, or If the plants are very
bushy it is less work to fasten the ends
together with an ordinary pin. 1t will
pay to place light protection over the
celery rows when transforms are immi-
nent. Light weight oil paper, similar
to that used for building purposes, may
be used in place of the straw paper.
The space between celery rows should
always be used for some quick growing
crop, like radishes, koh1rabi or early
caulihower. Care should always be
taken in hilling to give broad base to
hills, as the soil may need to be drawn
up higher later in the season. Personal
supervision of all these details is i'm

FIELD EXPERIMENTS WITH CORN.
5ummary OF Four Years Results at the
Illinois Agriculture Station.

5ummary OF Four Years Results at the
Illinois Agriculture Station.
The soil OF the station grounds of the
University Of Illinois has great natural
fertility, hence many of the results there
found would doubtless be different in
situations less favorable to a large yield
Of corn. Only such will be mentioned
here as it is thought will be of general
interest. In 1891, for the first time in
four years, there was larger yield from
plat deep cultivated than from one
shallow cultivated. For four years the
average yields have been at the rate of
seventy-one bushels from deep, seventy
six from shallow cultivated plats and
seventy-three from plats not Guilt
waited except to remove weeds by scrap
ing the surface with a hoe.
No appreciable effect on yield of field
corn resulted from cutting the tops
when in good condition for fodder or
from removing the tassels from alternate
rows as they appeared. Experiments
made for three years illustrate the fact
that there is relatively little dry matter
in corn during the early stages Of its
growth. The average yields for the four
years are in favor of planting from the
11th to the 10Th of May, any time in May
being safe for a medium maturing va
riety.
May 16, 1891, three equal and adjacent
plats were plowed as nearly as possible
at depths of two, five and ten inches
and planted to corn. The difference in
yield was SO slight that it cannot be
be said with confidence that the differ
ence in the depth of plowing caused it.
Alternate rows were root pruned three
times from June 10 to July 10 to depth
of four inches, each hill standing within
an area twelve inches square, around
which the knife was run. The operation
caused decrease at the rate of twenty
four bushels per acre.
For three years plats of corn have been
AS nearly as might be when the ears
were in the milk stage. when they were
nearly mature. and when the plant was
fully ripened. In each year there was
noticeably less yield, both of the whole
crop and of the grain, from the early
harvested plats than from either Of the
others. The yield of corn has been largest
from the fully ripened -plats. Except
when the soil is very dry. covering the
seed we'll one or two inches is better than
deeper covering. In such soil as that at
the station the chief good from cultiva-
tion seems to be in killing the weeds
rather than in loosening the soil. Guilt
waiting four inches deep, within six to
ten inches of the stalks after they have
made fair growth, will destroy many
of the roots.

In the Poultry Yard.

An English exchange says: ''On the
first appearance of gapes make quart
of oatmeal porridge, stir into it tallow
candle and administer it warm to the
chicks; repeat in about two hours"
A correspondent in The Rural New
Yorker says: 81 find that hens with short
legs, chunky bodies, short neeks and
small heads are, as rule, Indifferent
layers. Hens the reverse of this descrip-
ton are the good layers, and we GER
tainly can improve the laying qualities
of a flock by continued selection or this
type"
Renew drinking water every day:
twice day would be better if time can
be found.
Be sure that coops are moved frequent
ly; foul ground is worse for chickens
than old birds.
One good all around variety Of fowl is
best to begin with; never attempt more
than two varieties on any account.
Weed out the birds as soon as possible:
never keep birds that are not up to
standard when advertising-some one
will see them.
Perches should be rubbed with kero-
sene weekly. Once month burn fnmi-
gators in the building; sulphur does az
well as anything.

nursery is well known throughout the west,
having been many years established. The
proprietor, Mr.. Geo. Pinney, has probably
distributed more evergreens and forest trees

millions of forest trees annually, his spe.

The Wheat Harvest.

Ordinarily there is considerable water
In wheat when cut. and 1t is desirable
that it stand several days and cure in
the shock. In order to do this with
safety some kind of cap sheaves should
be placed upon the shocks. Rural Home
says:
A good way is to set up eight bundles
In open Dutch shock, saving out two of
long straw for cap sheaves. Then take
the cap sheaves and bind them near the
butts; have the butts even. Then open
the tops, dividing as near as possible in
the middle, and place the bundles on top
Of the shock, butts upward, spreading
the tops evenly over the two sides Of the
shocks. Some put a long band around
the two butts to hold the sheaves to-
gether. If done right these will make a
roof that viii shed pretty soaking
rain.
Another way is to set up round
shock Of eight or ten bundles and lay a
bundle on top. butts in the middle and
spread the top around over one half the
shock; then lay the butt of another
bundle on top of the first and spread its
top over the other half. It might cost
half dollar an acre to cap shocks in
either Of these ways, but if it should be
a showery harvest it would probably
save twice that in labor of standing out
and perhaps opening the bundles.

Seed Potatoes.

A dealer in seed potatoes makes these
suggestions in circular sent out to his
patrons: 1. 1t is always best to go north
for seed, unless living in the extreme
north ourselves. 2. Nothing is benefited
by change of seed more than potatoes.
Any farmer makes money by changing
every few years. 8. Potatoes are best
for seed which are grown on sandy or
gravelly land. A. Potatoes soon deterio-
rate, and it is necessary to introduce new
and vigorous varieties.

INSECTICIDES.
Directions for Preparing and Applying
Tested Rem edies for Insect Pests.

Directions for Preparing and Applying
Tested Remedies for Insect Pests.
The Illinois State Entomologist gives
this formula for kerosene emulsion:
Soap. one half pound; water, one gal
Ion; kerosene, two gallons. Boil the
soap and water until the soap is dis
solved, remove from the fire, add the
oil and churn until thick cream or
butter is formed. Dilute with nine to
twelve parts Of water to one of emul-
sion.
This may be used in destroying plant
lice. lice on live stock, and for insects
generally that take their food by sue
ton 1t kills by contact. Apply by
spraying.
Regarding paris green and London
purple the authority quoted says in the
Prairie Farmer that paris green is one of
the most generally used of the insecti-
cides. When pure it has the advantage
Of being definite compound from
which definite results may be expected
from time to time. Because of its
weight paris green does not remain long
suspended in water, and hence requires
constant stirring when in use. London
purple is much finer and lighter and re-
mains suspended in water much better.
It is Objectionable because of the valua-
BILE quantity of arsenic in tit being
waste product. Some OF the arsenic in
1t is also soluble in water, making it
more apt to burn the foliage than is
paris green.
Professor Gillett first overcame the
latter, objection by adding lime to the
mixture. Professor j. B. Smith, who
has experimented recently, says that by
adding. in weight, quick lime to equal
the amount of London purple, and mix
ing lime and purple to paste before
diluting for use, all the free arsenic is
taken up and an insoluble compound is
formed which is as little injurious as
paris green. Practically the same pro-
portion of each of these arsenites may
be used in mixture for spraying-one
Spraying should not be done on a very
hot day, especially not in the middle of
the day, rs injury to the foliage is apt
to follow. These remedies may be ap-
piled to almost all insects that take their
food by gnawing. Against such pests
as the May beetles and rose chafers it
Is useless to apply them, as the pests
como in such number as to overwhelm
the plants without their hosts being ap-
parently diminished.
Fish oil soap is made of concentrated
lye, one pound; fish oil, three pints; soft
water. thre gallons. Dissolve the lye
in the water. and when brought to a
boil add the oil. Boil for two hours or
more and when cold it will become
solid. Dissolve one pound in eight or
ten gallons Of water. Spray or use as
wash upon trees or plants affected by
plant lice or scale insects.
White hellebore, the well known rem
edy for currant, gooseberry and rose
slugs, is conveniently applied as spray:
dissolve one tablespoonful in one gallon

Scouting GOOD Combs.

I have tried all manner of ways to get
good combs the cheapest way-by pla-
cling the empty frame in and letting the
bees build the whole comb, and have
put foundation in from two inches wide
up to the whole width of frames, and
hFe positively decided in favor of whole
sheets Of foundation. The cheapest way
is to get them all ready wired in at the
factory. Having secured your frames
and foundation the next thing is to have
them drawn out. The best time for this
is when the hive is full Of bees and some
honey is coming in.
have secured the best combs in the
following manner: For a strong colony
remove the two outside frames and place
one frame with foundation in the sec
ond space from each end. Should the
frames removed contain brood and
many bees they can be hung in the Sec
ond story. These sheets of foundation
will usually be drawn in and ont from
one TO three days, then more can be
given in like manner. If the bees are
slow in drawing the foundation out only
one frame should be given at one time.
have had combs entirely built out in a
single night. The quicker they are
drawn out the better the combs viii be,
writes correspondent of Ohio Farmer.
It is ruinous to land to SOW the same

MAKING WAGON TIRES TIGHT.

Wagon tires get loose in very dry,
hot weather from two causes, the
chief which is shrinsagc of the wood
of the felocs. 1t is poor plan to
wet the feIloes, and thus swell the
wood, for it will very soon dry out
and leave the tires as loose as ever.
II, however, the wood be soaked in
boiling liuseed oil it will be swelled
and the tires tightened as permanent
ly as though cut or upset by Il black
smith. Make trough little wider
and little deeper than the felloes OF
the wheel: Heat linseed oil to the
boiling point and at this temperature
pour in the trough. Have everything
so arranged that you can immediate
turn the wheel slowly through the
boiling oil Two or three revolutions
are sufficient Then take the next
wheel. One heating is sufficient for
four wheels if the work is rapidly
done, Better, however, add a little
boiling oil after the second wheel is
soaked. Have sufficient oil in the
trough TO cover the felloes, After
the wheels are all attended to the oil
may be poured into vessel and kept
till the next occasion The sReptic,
of course, says it will do no good.
The oil can not contract the tire. Ii
is immatcrial whether the oil crn.
tracts The tire or expands the wood,
We do know that it makes a perfect
Job. On one occasion it so firmly
frightened the tires that the spokes
hegan- to bend. This process of
tightening the tires is far preferable
to that Of the blacksmith The wheel
retains It's original shape better, If
wagon wheels are so treated once a
year they are able TO endure the hot
aud dry season. The whole cost will
be few cents worth of oil to the
wheel and few minutes work
